Donald Trump: Classic or Dud?

o_O

In the run-up to the 20th anniversary of 9/11, Donald Trump is doing interviews with conservative media - in this case, Hugh Hewitt - suggesting Osama Bin Laden wasn't that big of a deal and wasn't a "monster." pic.twitter.com/3xJXVn2AIM

"The guys I got were bigger!"

"bin laden had one hit, and it was a bad one, in New York City, the World Trade Center"

of course, the USS cole was another classic bin laden hit

Not many people got killed on 9/11, but each and every one of them started a band.

i'm sure hugh hewitt pressed him closely on this

pains me to admit it but this guy could say some deeply funny shit from time to time

no

"bin laden had one hit, and it was a bad one, in New York City, the World Trade Center"

of course, the USS cole was another classic bin laden hit

Bin Laden more of a singles artist; never really put together a cohesive album.

which was his New Jersey

That's a one-hot-attack-every-ten-year average
And that's so laaaaaame

bin laden was just doing "that thing you do" starring tom hanks

bid Laden's first group at Oxford... he played bass I think:

lmao. frogbs otm unfortunately—Trump could be funny.

His way of speaking is so distinctive. The syntax is unmistakable.

Donald Trump claims he will invoke executive privilege to block the January 6th committee from obtaining documents from him and members of his administration

One problem. As a former president, Trump has no authority to invoke executive privilege

Such a dipshit, but the way things are going in this timeline it will probably still somehow work.

It probably helps his case somewhat that he's actually still the president and will be returning to the WH any day now.

won't that be a party

bin Laden's first group at Oxford... he played bass I think:

But his sense of time was a bit subpar. His bandmates would secretly refer to him as "Osama's Been Laggin'."

I wonder whose books those are behind him? Some rich people buy random books just to have something on the shelves.

Books by the Foot, it's a real business

^ Some real 'heat death of western culture' vibes right there

Scores of giant reels of old data tape would be a good accent there.

A poster of his hair's evolution, like the pictures of glaciers retreating.

xp

yeah. it reminds me of madison cawthorn, who got rid of whatever "policy" employees he had early on in DC and instead set up a "communications team". i won't doomandgloom the entire northern/western hemisphere just yet, but it all points toward a future where political office and/or punditry is like constructing a hollywood set and constructing nothing but an image, leaving all substance behind for good.

easy to say it's already like that, but there are always many degrees of this shit. reagan was a pioneer

or in other words, pee wee herman sits in the little video booth to talk to oprah, turns around and pulls down the "smart politician book backdrop", and then screams "i'm a swing vote, huh-HUH!"

my sincerest negative take on people nowadays is to say “that is not a serious person.”

“not serious” is some kind of amalgamation or conflation of in bad faith, moronic, self-dealing, cruel, damaged, and like, actively traumatized.

Friends, I agree with this post by our esteemed ILX colleague and find it to be on the money. Another sensational take!

Best. President. Ever.

I MADE $10 MILLION PER MONTH PLUS BENNIES FROM HOME WITH NO JOB AS PRESIDENT YOU CAN TOO

just remembered this for no reason at all

pretty infuriating to watch the media do the will-he-or-won't-he thing as though he's Brett Favre and not the guy who recently tried to overthrow the government

they know the ratings

they are all so blatantly thirsty to have him in the narrative again, it's absolutely disgusting. i mean i'm not a Biden fan either but the shift by even the faux ""liberal"" outlets to blaming the entirety of two decades in Afghanistan on him and pinning COVID to him entirely is showing their whole ass.

The entire thrust of Big Media at this point is to attain those sweet sweet clicks/eyeballs on screens by any means, no matter how debased.

yeah I mean look at this bullshit

Thinner, more energetic Kim Jong Un steals the spotlight at North Korea parade https://t.co/BXeiWQWvfS

Journalism is just one of the many archaic concepts of yesteryear that we'll have to explain at length to the youth of tomorrow.

"Kim Jong Un.. you're gonna like the way you look. I guarantee it."

Is this Holyfield commentary thing real?!

Um, exactly how hard is it for Kim Jong Un to "steal the spotlight" at any time in North Korea?

The spotlight once tried to escape North Korea, but Kim Jong Un caught it, brought it back, tortured it, and it's now starving in a prison work camp, forced to shine on him on command.

how long does he go into the boxing commentary before whining about the election? I'd give him about 3 minutes.

"Mike Tyson bit this guy's ear off, remember? That's dirty fighting. Just like the Democrats and Sleepy Joe."

Gonna have to be careful using terms like "rigged" and "fixed" when it comes to boxing. Unlike politics, there may be actual repercussions for starting shit and making claims of cheating in this particular industry.

Sad lol

He gave a paid speech to a cult. On 9/11. Before announcing a pay-per-view boxing match. Once again, on 9/11. https://t.co/j3vJev9nwM
