Donald Trump: Classic or Dud?

all five of em

Yeah, seriously, I know a lot of these stupid polls are intended to instill panic, but this one pretty much just earns giggles.

panic giggles is also a thing fwiw

I think polls are going to be pretty useless for the next year. Everybody ought to be acting like it's going to be a close election.

yea i'm curious if polls from this far out are actually predictive of anything

once election season actually starts the downsides of both candidates are gonna be talked about a ton and Trump not only has way way more his are also a lot more serious, also he has been acting like an absolute lunatic lately, think this'll once again be a referendum on if people really want more Trump in their lives

polls this far out usually give no more than a blurry picture of the mostly amorphous feelings of an electorate that's not particularly engaged. but in this case the odds of a rematch of 2020 are unusually high, so the trick right now is figuring out which polls to trust. sadly, that's nearly impossible. (shrugs)

eh that's close enuf for me

Complete outlier of a poll, not approximating any of the others in the last week.

Also some of this is Hunter Biden news influenced and will fade

the trick right now is figuring out which polls to trust

None of them. Not even the ones that tell you what you want to hear. It's all fiction.

What are you talking about, they're totally rooted in data based on (checks notes) unverifiable opinions strangers report to the poll. In *this* house, we *believe* in science!

I thought they were based on boat parades?

Or general lack thereof?

They take into account all sorts of data. Boat parades, those pain-level smiley faces, rolling D&D dice ...

THE WINDMILLS ARE DRIVING THE WHALES BATTY.

I think we have underestimated the comedic genius of Donald Trump.

Trump's beef with windmills is personal:

Of course. For him, everything is about his personal grudges.

at the the Trump rallies, in between rants about ripping up the constitution and destroying the free press and executing generals etc... He keeps telling his followers that the deep state is coming for them. But luckily he's the human shield protecting them! I don't why I find that so funny, but there is just something so ridiculous and unreal about the whole spectacle that cracks me up.

It's of a piece with his saying in 2016 that "I alone can fix it." He is playing into his followers' need for a savior, and I think on some level he really believes he is some kind of superhero.

it's a handy way for him to deflect all the ongoing legal cases against him

Muad'Dumb.

one of his former staffers, who I think has flipped, has said he used classified documents as post-it notes. He was writing to-do lists on the other side of them! I don't think anyone in his position would do something so dumb out of carelessness. I think that was his way of demonstrating to staff that he's a real president and he can do what he likes with classified docs. Because that is the kind of prick he is.

Muad'Dumb.

Q: What do you despise? By this are you truly known.

DT: Windmills

I saw some clip of him posing with a gun dude and it was so creepy. He just repeatedly pops his gruesome smile as needed, giving the thumbs up, while the gun dude grins like a goon. And then as soon as the picture is taken goes back to his usual default frown.

The Trump supporter who posted the viral video of Donald insisting he wanted to buy a Glock – which legally could have gotten Donald in a lot of legal trouble – DELETED it.

Too late. I already put it in the family archive. 🧵👇 pic.twitter.com/gN2buUVlLd

Well now we know what Q stands for

lol they should incorporate that into their theory

Curious what the Secret Service thinks about these dudes with their pistols waving around by the ex-prez

They probably think, these are my people.

So if I just put on a vest and get a doofy Richard Spencer buzz cut, I can get right up next to him with a pistol?

Good to know

donkey hotelier

Add getting a glock and instantly dropping it and shooting himself in the dick and balls to funniest ways he could die

You think Alec Baldwin does a good Trump impression? Wait till you see Trump's Baldwin impression.

He should really buy an American-made pistol, but Trump has never shot a firearm in his life, so he can be forgiven for not knowing what a Colt is

Worst Live cover ever

they could just photoshop him doing that goofy low thumbs-up into any stupid situation and I'd accept the photo as legit

https://www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-fraud-ruling_n_65133e02e4b0b4348f453a3f?5ye

A judge has ruled that Donald Trump committed fraud for years while building the real estate empire that catapulted him to fame and the White House.

Judge Arthur Engoron, ruling Tuesday in a civil lawsuit brought by New York’s attorney general, found that the former president and his company deceived banks, insurers and others by massively overvaluing his assets and exaggerating his net worth on paperwork used in making deals and securing financing....

Engoron’s ruling, in a phase of the case known as summary judgment, resolves the key claim in James’ lawsuit, but six others remain.

Engoron is slated to hold a non-jury trial starting Oct. 2 before deciding on those claims and any punishments he may impose.

a stern warning and a middling fine

Two whole bucks!

IDK wasn't this the judge that was pounding the bench in rage the other day?

Yeah. Iirc, this call for summary judgement came about because the fraud was so blatant the prosecution basically argued to the judge that a trial was irrelevant, since no one disagreed on the facts. Apparently (again, if I was reading correctly) this kind of ruling is relatively rare.

Pretty much. It's why they were desperately trying to get him thrown off the case too, I think they read the tea leaves.

Oh looks like Engoron sanctioned Trump's lawyers too!
