Donald Trump: Classic or Dud?

Hotel Maralago forever and ever now. Damnation.

Maybe it's another landscaping thing

Jealous of all the Jay-Z / Beyonce press he isn't getting.

This speech is Trump's message delivered with Jeb Bush's energy and Ted Cruz's charisma

I'm biased, but this dude running again falls into the "how can we miss you if you don't go away?" void. I mean, he's essentially been running for the past two years, why anyone should care more now is a mystery.

yeah I was honestly confused by the NYT opinion section being 90% trump today, like this is some seismic event. I guess they all had them ready to go in drafts lol

his fans care and the rest follow suit because they know he will not hesitate to throw them all under the bus if they hurt his precious feelings

The Nytimes made a big deal about hiring a *third* Trump reporter just last week. They're fuckin' lame.

It's doubtless all mummery and posing from Murdoch but still, that NY Post 'Florida Man' cover bullet and then the actual story.

(But there is something to be said to compare this to the NYT reaction.)

for one this version of Trump is a lot more openly fascist. for two he's way less fun. for three the evidence is mounting that he's actively torpedoing the Republican party so there aren't as many Trumpy loudmouths at Denny's to take advice from. not saying the MSM is gonna learn any lessons but I can see him not getting the clicks he used to.

he's way less fun.

Speak for yerself.

well, the question of him returning to Twitter or not is being solved by Elon Musk destroying Twitter before campaign season begins

I mean, I know he's just parroting his favorite dictators of the past and present, but it's hard to get any lols out of him being cheered for wanting to execute drug offenders.

Donald Trump was never fun unless you're Maggie Haberman. Habers gonna Habe.

I appreciated this since it delved into some details and data

Voting will be done purely on Twitter in 2024.

"carters" of power - corridors maybe? that's how they talk in Queens

Yeah, I think he's saying "corridors of power"

I think he's saying "I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed—and gazed—but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:

For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils"

Holy shit, thank you.

you'd think after working for decades in hotels & offices, the word 'corridor' would come up enough that you would know how to pronounce it, just through osmosis

I guess not

Jimmy Corridor Says Yes.

he's trying to say corridors but his face gets in the way

i like the shape of this distribution

and those 2 reviews are, i think, very representative of a person who loves the apprentice

Oh yeah,we're taking over the Carter.

Corridor the Unstoppable Sex Machine

I like how he keeps stressing the corridors themselves: "They're our corridors." Pretty sure the expression isn't usually truncated like that.

that's the big lesson of the corridors of power, though. they are out there, and you have to walk in them, take control of them. redecorate them and keep them clean, maybe assign some people to watch over them, keep the lights on.

The only thing I liked about Trump were the creepy christmas trees. Make Christmas Creepy Again!

(as long as it doesn't involve letting the Trumps within 200 miles of the White House, it should go without saying)

Yeah, the Eyes Wide Shut Xmas was a high-point for the first lady

whatever happened to her tennis pavilion? was it ever completed?
