Donald Trump: Classic or Dud?

Pointing out that Trump is hypocritical about fatshaming others is low-hanging fruit.

Also, you cannot seriously be making arguments about your own conduct by pointing to what Trump does.

The man is a racist, a rapist, and every flavor of horrible in between.

A criminal, a con man, an authoritarian, a cancer in the body politic.

a fraud, a monger of slander of law clerks

a short-fingered vulgarian

Former President of The United States

Terrified of stairs

Biden should challenge him to climb a ladder.

All around Dud

Give him a chance

trump's struggles with his weight is the most humanizing and relatable thing about him.

I just came home from the public library having checked out the book his niece Mary Trump wrote about him and their incredibly damaged family. I'm not sure how much of it I can stomach, but I'm going to give it a trial.

I don't know if he can handle another trial.

it's annoying that this "trump" stuff is still going on. from an artistic point of view, his story should have ended when he was booed at the al smith dinner

trump is a pathetic rich kid in fifth grade who got caught cheating on a test for the fifth time, threatening not to invite people to his birthday party. he and his guests are way outnumbered but the rest of us pretend otherwise

we'd much rather critique and belittle each other than stand up together against the bully and his wannabes

same as it was

I mean the man famously eats pretty much nothing but fast food and doesn’t believe in exercise, if it’s a struggle he’s not putting up much of a fight

Yeah, I don't think the guy is struggling at all, he thinks he is in the peak of health. In fact, iirc, isn't he even explicitly anti-exercise?

Only trump policy I can get on board with

I think he has a theory that your heart has a finite number of beats and if you exercise you use them up quicker (not a joke)

Trump himself says that he is “not a big sleeper” (“I like three hours, four hours”) and professes a fondness for steak and McDonald’s. Other than golf, he considers exercise misguided, arguing that a person, like a battery, is born with a finite amount of energy.

^what an idiotic idea

So he has spent his finite energy lying, grifting, committing crimes and generally making life miserable for anyone who comes into his orbit. Well done.

xp I dunno, he keeps going, and going, and going …

fortunately it's his only idiotic idea

If i call him a fucking monster pls don’t argue me back

You have to call him a Donster

the finite number of beats thing isn’t totally insane, peak athletes have very low resting heart rates and you could just come up with a silly idea about that

I assume it was the premise of a Steve Seagal movie that he heard parts of between fast forwarding between action scenes

Too many beats

Other than golf, he considers exercise misguided, arguing that a person, like a battery, is born with a finite amount of energy.

Trump's going to lose his mind when someone tells him about rechargeable batteries.

all the trump insults and fantasies are kind of sad, but understandable

speaking of trump fantasies

he really thinks he can bail himself out of his legal trouble with this

What happens to you if you’re a Republican congressman and you don’t vote Trump for Speaker?

The answer, my friend

this country is so, so embarrassing

What happens to you if you’re a Republican congressman and you don’t vote Trump for Speaker?

Trump is considering a visit to the Capitol early next week where *he is open to pitching himself as a speaker candidate

Like his large, complex, detailed but irrefutable report that was going to totally exonerate him, I suspect this is yet another idle thought that flitted through what passes for his brain and out his sound-making hole. He knows how to keep himself in the daily news cycle by spewing random bullshit, I'll grant him that.

Being Speaker is a thankless miserable job, I hope they elect him.

I hear you get a hidden cubbyhole though

does he even know what Speaker of the House does

he speaks

he probably thinks the Speaker gets to talk a lot, hence the name... something he's quite comfortable with

Pelosi sold a lot of NFT's while she was Speaker, he wants to get in on that action

Rule 26—Temporary Step Aside of a Member of Leadership who is Indicted

(a) A member of the Republican Leadership shall step aside if indicted for a felony for which a sentence of two or more years imprisonment may be imposed.

The GOP would have to change their own house rules to specifically allow someone indicted for a felony to serve, which scans terribly, which means they'd totally do it for Trump.

In January people were floating the idea that they could make Trump Speaker then impeach Biden and Harris so Trump would be President again

The Senate might go along. Who knows?

I don't think the Senate has a say
