why would he need to read it, he was there, he knows what really happened, he has one of the best memories ever, etc.

I'm fairly convinced that most of the people who excitedly voted for Trump were fueled by the idea of siccing their worst and most hated neighbor/coworker/boss/relative on that uppity lady candidate. I can't imagine that most of them actually like him as a person (and certainly would never want to share a beer with him, or drink a beer in his weirdly teetotaling company, rather). He's like that feral pit bull you keep locked up in your tool shed. He's a straight-up unlikable sumbitch, but goddammit he gets the job done.

Bobby Buttrock (Old Lunch), Saturday, 6 January 2018 05:10 (six years ago) link

My god, though, he's such a magnificently reactive brainstem! He just keeps hyping this book that makes him look like a total ass! Dude, it's already the #1 book in the country, don't oversell.

this was maybe not the best metaphor at this particular juncture in time

Karl Malone, Saturday, 6 January 2018 05:12 (six years ago) link

Donald Trump is nothing like a pit bull. A pit bull raised in privilege and comfort like Trump would be a loyal, affectionate and playful creature.

This is similar to the reason people (e.g. me) have been upset about Trump being constantly referred to as a child, kindergartener, etc. It’s an insult to the under-12 set. They’re all way better people than him.

his dog thing always makes me think of the end of the trial. the perfect authoritarian tic

difficult listening hour, Saturday, 6 January 2018 07:12 (six years ago) link

untruthful, maybe, but boring? come on.

In fairness to the Circus Peanut in Chief, I find everything about our historical moment and his bad burlesque-act reign truly, deeply, motherfucking boring.

is he saying the book is full of lies or is he saying, different perspectives from different sources with different interests don't tally and are sometimes purposefully deceitful? it's the latter

"Taste's very strange!" (stevie), Saturday, 6 January 2018 08:55 (six years ago) link

It is the latter, but why start reading-comprehension-shaming now?

Andrew Farrell, Saturday, 6 January 2018 09:11 (six years ago) link

I assumed that when Trump says "like a dog" it's a euphemism for "like a bitch" cf the Access Hollywood tape (evidence that he's capable of at least some level of self-censorship?)

....Actually, throughout my life, my two greatest assets have been mental stability and being, like, really smart. Crooked Hillary Clinton also played these cards very hard and, as everyone knows, went down in flames. I went from VERY successful businessman, to top T.V. Star.....

....to President of the United States (on my first try). I think that would qualify as not smart, but genius....and a very stable genius at that!

'First try' – riiight. He already ran in 2000, back when universal healthcare was part of his platform.

pomenitul, Saturday, 6 January 2018 14:21 (six years ago) link

Late to the monkey party, but why in the world would anyone find the gorilla channel story implausible? I mean, you can find footage of Trump talking to Rudy in drag, Trump in overalls singing the green acres theme ... pretty much everything about Trump is completely ridiculous from head/hair to hands, so why not apes?

Anyway, he's a genius, geniuses are weird.

Oh goodness gracious. We can be civil, cheerful, respectful to & friends with people who don’t share our religious beliefs. Sometimes, we even marry them. I’m a Methodist & my husband is Jewish, thank you for asking. A very happy New Year to you Rhonda! https://t.co/8UH9SP8EWO

the washington post ran an op ed begging people to not read the “trashy” wolff book

it was written by a mucky muck at... citizens united! (the one who wrote the book with lewandowski. it was of course plugged.)

they’re not even TRYING to hide it

xpost I guess that was in response to some Trump supporter accusing her of being a Satanist after goofing around on twitter.

will all the dominionist evangelical preachers in the land read 'fire and fury' from the pulpit approvingly?

Actually typing "like, really smart" = deliberate wind-up even more than usual.

nashwan, Saturday, 6 January 2018 14:48 (six years ago) link

More like "Smart? Like, really?"

Josh in Chicago, Saturday, 6 January 2018 14:50 (six years ago) link

I want Trump to be so smart, so intensely smart, that his head explodes, like in "Scanners."

Josh in Chicago, Saturday, 6 January 2018 14:50 (six years ago) link

that isn't why the head exploded in Scanners

fuck you, your hat is horrible (Neanderthal), Saturday, 6 January 2018 14:57 (six years ago) link

maybe fox will add blipverts. that cause of head explosion seems more up trumps alley

xpost yeah the formal evals of his recent tweets point to a ghost tweeter. but content evals are confusing, no ghost is that stupid.

"like, really smart" is a bit he's done in many campaign speeches and public appearances, his ppl love it

his ppl think all rich people are really smart unlike poor scientists
