Donald Trump: Classic or Dud?

This was posted in the Urban Dictionary last year, fwiw:

peekaboo: Racist term used in white-supremacist circles to refer to a person of color, usually black, of upper or upper-middle class social standing.

by WhoKnowsWhoItCouldBe September 21, 2022

That's the same date Trump first called James that word

fwiw indeed then.

i remember back during the run up to the first muslim ban he, in an effort to get under the character limit, said something like '...bad hombres and immigs are flooding this country...,'"immigs" being short for "immigrants" of course. i was like damn this dude just invented a new slur whole cloth

"riggers" is another one he has been using

yeah, I can't remember if it was 'stop the riggers!' or 'catch the riggers!' but it was really, really bad sounding

'catch the riggers!'

by the toe, eh?

It was like watching the end of the best Petty Mason episode, where the defendant breaks down and cries, “Yes, I did it, I did it, I did it.”

iirc Perry Mason always represents the defendants

Does Trump know who the defendant is in his own case? Maybe this is his way of confessing

What I don't get, as far as that bullshit goes, is how a dude so undisciplined, so prone to just babbling barely coherently at best, so unable to keep himself on subject, so primed to meander and ramble and hop from non sequitur to non sequitur, can keep himself from blurting out worse, especially when he is overtly tip toeing that close to saying the thing he is insidiously coming very close to saying. You'd think he'd accidentally say the other thing in public over the course of the past several decades as a public figure, even once, but somehow, no.

I still don't understand how his making fun of that disabled guy wasn't the last time he was ever allowed to be out in public

Because and his followers had some half-assed explanation how that *wasn't* what happened. He does so much egregious shit that would sink any other politician but always walks away.

he and his followers...

ever since that moment I'm sure we live in what future historians will call post-civilised times.

Not as bad as mocking the disabled obviously, but all the way back to the debates where he was lurking behind Hillary I was like 'what the actual fuck is this?' How does the moderator not tell him to sit his fat ass down. Hillary should have thrown her mic at him. But again, no repercussions.

I mean, "the grab 'em by the pussy" tape! JFC I remain absolutely stunned that he skipped away from that with hardly a dent! Entire political careers have been ended on far, far, far less. This guys just fails upward at every fucking opportunity.

it's because these things are exactly why his voters like him

The mostly-liminal message is 'I'm so powerful I can walk all over people and get whatever I want and because we think alike you can trust me to deliver for you.'

Yeah that sounds about right. Man, some people are stupid.

And vengeful. Those two things, more or less.

the irony is that he never wants to get within thirty feet of his actual followers.. they're dirty hillbillies, deplorables

Oh I absolutely get why it appeals to his voters. 100%. My point is more than even 5-10 years prior, that outburst would have led to an immediate disavowal from at lease large swatch of the mainstream press and media. But, y'know, clicks and content, clicks and content.

it's been obvious to the public since at least 1984 exactly who he is.

it's the public who's got worse.

My theory is that between now and Election Day the racist slurs will be flowing freely in his posts and rallies.

I'm less mystified as to how he's managed to tiptoe between the raindrops with respect to the many many many things that should have brought him financial/legal/personal ruin than I am by the fact that no one has ever pummeled him comatose. That, to me, is a sign that civil society is still functioning on some level, because if there was anyone who ever asked for it harder, practically begged for it with his ass fully out for decade upon decade, I don't know who it would be.

exactly. they think mocking handicapped people is funny. they think women fall over themselves to get the attention of rich men and then lie about it afterwards. they think anything that goes over their head is just the product of someone lying to them. they think the ultimate sign of intelligence and leadership is the ability to con people, because to them everything in life is a con. he is the perfect Republican candidate and I don't think anyone's gonna be able to replace him.

If the Maine shooter turns out to have authored a racist manifesto, he could peel away some Trump diehards

possible running mate

That would be a Trump Card!

In even speaking it unto existence ... Yup, we're definitely getting a Trump-Racist Mass Shooter Du Jour 2024 ticket

Most likely the Subway killer guy

Ivanka's lawyer pleading the dubious case that she's not involved with the Trump org anymore and her company is based in Delaware, not NYC. So the judge points out she's breaking the law there as well then, because she's operating from 5th avenue. lol, love this shit!

lmao

"I'm sorry your honor I cannot possible testify about THAT crime because I'm too busy criming elsewhere"

The literal Trump crime family

you move to Delaware you run up against the Biden crime family

pleasepleaseplease put jared in jail. please?

isn't he solving the problems in the Middle East for a couple billion dollars right now?

Trump expected on the stand Nov. 6 (I assume he cannot just get mad and leave). Someone posted: "Back-to-back-to-back-to-back testimony expected by three of Trump’s adult children, followed by the ex-president. A Trump on the stand for the first four court days in November."

Four Days in November.

I love it.

I love that we use the term “adult children” for them.

"Back-to-back-to-back-to-back testimony expected by three of Trump’s adult children, followed by the ex-president.

"Don't stand so close to me ... "

keep doing this shit Donny

Since Bill Barr is a witness against Trump in the J6 case, this new post violates his gag order in DC. pic.twitter.com/9q4MwM0fNP
