Donald Trump: Classic or Dud?

“I was the first & only potential GOP candidate to state there will be no cuts to Social Security, Medicare & Medicaid. Huckabee copied me.”

He is only as wicked and hellspawned as the hatred and resentment simmering in the heartland of the most violent nation ever

I think you might need to look into a thing called history if you think this is the most violent nation ever.

you suggest Panama?

the 1997 NYer profile of Trump is start-to-finish amazing but if I had to pick a favorite part it's this https://t.co/reqFZ79eZd pic.twitter.com/Qnwnuiyxqh

hard to tell who is more obsessed with him the right or the left.

libs/"centrists" for sure

it's sobering to realize that Trump is probably the most famous person in human history now

*not adjusted for population inflation

indicative of a deep flaw in our universe

truly he is king of the narcissist personality disorder sufferers

i think jesus still beats him out unless we're only counting contemporaneous fame

Michael Jackson sold a hundred million records

contemporaneous fame. MJ is up there but there are twice as many people on Earth now than there were in 1984.

Donlad Turmp sold a hundred million and one. Sad!

Part of my problem is that I have to do a lot of things myself. It takes so much time. Julio Iglesias is coming to Mar-a-Lago, but I have to call Julio, I have to have lunch with Julio. I have Pavarotti coming. Pavarotti doesn’t perform for anybody. He’s the highest-paid performer in the world. A million dollars a performance. The hardest guy to get. If I call him, he’ll do it—for a huge amount less. Why? Because they like me, they respect me, I don’t know.

I think you might need to look into a thing called history if you think this is the most violent nation ever.

idk Native American genocide plus slavery plus nuclear bomb-dropping... surely we're in the running

probably a million people killed by u.s. in vietnam/laos/cambodia. nobody will ever know how many. not pol pot numbers, but still...

mao would be the world champ though.

it's sobering to realize that Trump is probably the most famous person in human history now

this is a ridiculous statement

Man, if only Trump would tweet that he's bigger than Jesus...

well he's certainly fatter

stahp posting this I cant handle it

The relatively-youthful US has certainly done what it could to catch up with the accrued violence of much older nations, I'll grant you that. Maybe Donnie will get us there.

My god, it's made of scrote.

I feel badly for his clothes.

trump wearing a shirt with "trump" on it is like that thing where ppl wear band t-shirts to the same band's concert only 1000x worse

If you blow the image up to its full size (not that I'm recommending you do so) the swollen, boiled-looking bullfrog neck is almost Lovecraftian.

dainty watch worn to make hands look bigger.

Is he going to be remembered as the worst thing ever? Would be deeply ironic if he just got forgotten but then people wouldn't learn from history.
JUst hope his wrongness doesn't get outdone shortly after he dies painfully,choking to death on a shagpile carpet would be fitting, though too redolent of Elvis.
But fingers crossed he doesn't act as a harbinger of things to come.

Just would be so funny if he went to all this bother and wasn't remembered in 20 years time.

Jesus, how has he not lost his hand yet?

"Look, having nuclear - my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart - you know, if you're a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I'm one of the smartest people anywhere in the world - it's true! - but when you're a conservative Republican they try - oh, do they do a number - that's why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune - you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we're a little disadvantaged - but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me - it would have been so easy, and it's not as important as these lives are - nuclear is powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what's going to happen and he was right, who would have thought? - but when you look at what's going on with the four prisoners - now it used to be three, now it's four - but when it was three and even now, I would have said it's all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don't, they haven't figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it's gonna take them about another 150 years - but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us."

xxxp reggie's quote, if that was a mathematical function it's be piecewise continuous but nowhere differentiable

Gentlemen, what you pansies are are a bunch of starving artistes who live off the kindness of the American government or mommy and daddy. You are angry at your own failings and struggle for survival, mock the GOP and ridicule its members, but when Republicans do it to the Democrats and you, you call out racism and class warfare.

You all yammer on like you do, but let me tell you this here message board is one kooky place with as many double standards as the Grand Old Party, which is why I voted TRUMP!

Someone's gotten into the sock drawer again.

He voted Trump because of ilxor.com??

anger at your own failings is the first step to personal responsibility, my friend

This new poster seems extremely not mad. In fact, I'd venture to suggest he's actually laughing.

Bitch i am ballin' atm.

watch out guys it's a trick, you say 'but i'm doing ok' and then it's like aaaahhhh so ur an elite then and ur like curses curses damn damn damn not again

O snap good lookin out.

The fArt of the Deal

Just out of curiosity does anyone know if Aaron Rodgers is at the Jets voluntary minicamp today?

That guy would rather set himself on fire then report to any sort of camp voluntarily. Freedom!!

Apparently, the guy who set himself on fire was not concerned about Trump at all, pro or con. He had a long online manifesto about cryptocurrency and some grievances he had against NYU, but he knew where the reporters were gonna be.

And to think, Trump probably slept through the whole thing, poor little guy.

“He knew where the reporters were gonna be” for May thread title

self-immolator also had a laura dern podcast called dern after reading

Guilty lolz

Went and read it. Was not pro trump like I expected. Kind of a despairing anticapitalism run through a conspiracy blender and WTF close readings of classic simpsons episodes. Made me sad more than anything.

kinda seemed like the QAnon Shaman guy

Letitia James has asked Judge Engoron to reject Trump's $175 million bond, on the grounds that the company he used is not financially sound. Link here.

Got to give her credit, she is not fucking around.

Manifesto guy bundled lots of his stuff together into a pamphlet called Dipshit Secrets of our Rotten World, which is applause worthy.

I would have read it

its not fair that Trump's the one on trial and yet it's everyone else who's getting the gas chamber

And how to end your Friday per the NYT:

Jesse McKinley
April 19, 2024, 4:30 p.m. ET20 minutes ago

“Sir, can you please have a seat?” the judge says to Trump, as he rises before court is adjourned.

Maggie Haberman
April 19, 2024, 4:30 p.m. ET19 minutes ago

Justice Merchan has left the bench. Trump is standing and looking around the room.

Jonah Bromwich
April 19, 2024, 4:31 p.m. ET19 minutes ago

Trump walks out of the courtroom, patting the bench behind the defense table like an old friend as he goes.

After Trump lawyer Susan Necheles asked again for the name of at least the first witness, Steinglass said he would tell Trump’s counsel the name on Sunday, but if the identity is tweeted before Monday, “that will be the last time.”

Clearly a post-fart shot:

Does he know which trial he’s in? (I mean, sometimes I get all the legal proceedings mixed up, too, so…)

trump sharted u kno he did
