    Because he’s deaf and can’t read. He got a hurricane briefing once and tried to correct the drawing with his personal hopes and dreams. That was the last time they gave him a hurricane brief.

    People who support this dude are weird for not seeing he’s not fit for office. He should step down and let someone younger go, like Biden did. He has way too much ego to admit he lost an election, nevermind stepping down, but it would be the play

          He’s also making elected officials dance while he doesn’t even hold office. If that’s not an insider, then what is?

            That’s like some sort of behind the scenes politics. I wonder if there’s a term for that …

        I don’t care why anyone likes him. Any combination of words that justifies or normalizes anything to do with TFG are neither worth the time to write nor read.

      Him being unfit for office has little to do with his age, to be clear.

        It 100% has to do with his age of you consider the chances of dementia in a 30—60 year old candidate, and then in him, a candidate with full-blown dementia.

        Doesn’t it? Nobody is 100% at 80 years old. Also they won’t have to live with their decisions.

          Nikki Haley was (hopefully) right, that the first party to replace their old white guy would win

            Honestly I was worried Trump would nominate Haley, given the way CNN and MSNBC keep trying to paint her as the “reasonable, moderate republican”.

            We dodged a bullet when Trump’s campaign started shitting the bed, but Kamala keeps trying to run back to the cold, dead embrace of the Biden campaign that him to 37% approval rating.

          Yeah but like, on the list of things that should disqualify him his age is somewhere in the 200s.

            Well he’d be a billionaire leading the American empire, so imperialism, but more competent, kinda like Obama.

              • Trimp isn’t a billionaire
              • America isn’t an empire
              • Imperialism, yeah probably, fair enough
              • Trimp is not competent
              • If you compared Trimp to Obama directly he would cry and try to have you arrested

                Trimp isn’t a billionaire

                He probably is, but in any case, he’d both the representative of capital and a member of the capitalist class.

                America isn’t an empire

                Sure, we just have 800 military bases across the world and unequal trade with so many poor countries by chance.

                Trimp is not competent

                No shit. But Trump at 100% would be a more competent evil.

                If you compared Trimp to Obama directly he would cry and try to have you arrested

                Of course. Trump wishes he could bomb >10 African and Middle Eastern countries, do a bloody coup in Honduras, send the national guard in to put down protests after police murdered another unarmed black person, bail out the banks that just halved black wealth, deport 3 million immigrants, and still be remembered fondly by libs.

              That “kinda” is bearing a load the size of the Earth. It’s a galaxy of presumptions rolled up into five letters. If it had a name, it would be “Atlas”.
