“Some people call it an experiment – I don’t call it an experiment,” Trump said of the United States. “I just say this is a magnificent place, a magnificent country, and it’s sad to see how far it’s come and gone … When you look at the depths where it’s gone, we can’t let that happen. We’re going to straighten it out. We’re going to close our borders. We’re going to drill baby drill.”

"drill, baby, drill" I guess these bozos figured out it was time to coin a new 3 word slogan even more annoying and objectionable than "jobs, jobs, jobs,"

I think I mentioned this elsewhere but this is way more concerning to me than Biden's verbal slips, like it's one thing to mix up people who have similar positions or statuses but the current President, and guy you are running against in the election, should not be one of those things you mix up. in fact asking who the current President is is one of those things they ask you when you're suspected of having a concussion.

I think there's a credible case to be made that Trump decided to run after Obama roasted him at the 2011 Correspondents' Dinner. Of course, Trump had already been riding the "birther" hobby horse--that was the basis for Obama's jokes--but there certainly was an obsessive quality to the way Trump tried to erase Obama's legacy. So, in some ways, I suppose he is still running against Obama.

There are Trumpers who think Obama is the real President and he tells Biden what to do. Or the real President who isn’t Donald Trump.

it's weird because it's not like fringe hateful conservative candidates, some with decent fame/money, hadn't run before, and usually did poorly (including he himself in his failed Reform Party bid in 2000). but gay people being treated better and a Black man in office for 8 years pissed everyone off so much that he became their hero.
it's weird how it's just accepted now considering how ridiculous it seemed at the time.

this is my tombstone statement for the trumpocene: "we are trapped in fifth grade." trump is the kid who has nothing going for him except the one thing that matters in ayn-rand-land -- his parents are loaded -- and unfortunately way too many of our classmates are (conditioned to be?) lazy and don't want to 'listen to the teacher' / 'do their homework' preferring (conforming) instead to emulate the rich kid and his privileged dingbat clique (rather than risk getting ganged up on by them). not terribly original i acknowledge but somehow since at least dubya we can't seem to break this idiotic suck-up cycle

he also got real lucky by running against such a weak and diluted field - you had like 12 identical candidates who all sucked in the same ways, to the point where the presumptive nominee was Jeb Bush, simply because of his last name. that said I admit Trump played the game pretty well - he was loud and obnoxious enough to draw ratings and was legitimately whiny and pissed off in a way other rich businessman candidates couldn't pull off. I think Republican voters legitimately resent anyone who comes off as smarter than them so Trump is kind of their perfect candidate.

one shouldn't have to prove he's full of shit but isn't the proof that his conflating haley with pelosi or biden with obama in speeches wasn't intentional as he later claimed, because any time he says anything that he considers remotely clever he takes a pause to bask in his own adoration of the hilarious thing he just said? there's nothing dry or understated about his delivery; if he had been utilizing a rhetorical device to make a point about how all these people are the same he would have congratulated himself at the time for being so smart and looked around the room with that stupid grin of self-approbation to soak it all in.
a quibbling point, but it always irks me with his pee-wee hermaning out of all the dumb stuff he says.
