Aww… did Twumpy-wumpy miss his nap-time?
Yes, Trump, let the hate flow through you. Unleash your racism in a flood of glorious hate for all the world to watch on the television, and show the world who you truly are.
What do you mean “show who he truly is”? How is this different from the last 8 years?
JoJoIt’s more explicit, on TV, in sound-bite chunks.
In a world where everything revolves around pushing the most information inside a short attention span, this can matter a lot. A clip can go viral, become a meme, become repeated and played again and again, it doesn’t matter what someone did over a few months if everything they hear about that person is what they did in a couple of seconds.
Having trump calling someone the N-word, on tape, would become a lightning rod of confirmation that people can shove into others’ faces, and show them that “do you want to vote for this man”? It doesn’t take 1 hour of explanation, it takes 10 seconds of a sideline TikTok video.
He is a coward. It is somewhat unusual when he continues lying instead of fleeing.

This wording paints a picture of physical violence. Considering how unhinged he is, it wouldn’t surprise me if he struck the interviewer like how Netanyahu struck that child for not kissing him.
That was Erdoğan, Netanyahu is a shitty politician, too, but let’s give credit where credit is due.
Right right, silly me, thank you
This wording is called headlinese. It’s the way we’ve written headlines and news articles for over 100 years. For the United States at least, to slam someone has been shorthand for lambasting someone. For several generations.
The more I think about it the more interesting it is that the skill of reading headlines is somehow disappearing from the population despite people still having to read them constantly.

Yep. I have an acquaintance with early-onset Alzheimer’s, and he has posted a lot about how emotionally disregulated he is. He’s fine in writing but he has warned his friends that if they visit him in person, he won’t be like they remember him.
I’m imagining that frustrating feeling of having the imprint of a thought but forgetting what it was, except all the freaking time. Must be hell.
It is hell, and I’ve watched my grandpa slowly slip into it. Not bad, yet, but enough that you can see the awful frustration.
If my mind starts slipping away like that when I’m old, I’ll probably just shoot myself honestly. It would be a preferrable way to go than gradually losing all my faculty until I don’t know who I even am.
Sorry to hear that, mate. That sounds really tough, even if you’re just observing the disease’s progression from afar.
Yeah, Trump’s too old and senile to be President. Weird too. Much too weird to be President.
Weeeeeeeeeird.
DevCat“I think it’s a very nasty question,” Trump said. “For you to start off a question and answer period especially when you’re 35 minutes late … in such a hostile manner, I think it’s a disgrace.”
It’s just his way of saying, “I’d rather not answer that.”
And NYT said the reason for the 35 minute delay was because he was having a hissy fit over live fact checking.
Like during early COVID Trump was asked what he wants to say to Americans that were scared, he replied that the reporter was nasty or something similar. He can’t handle any questions that are outside of his line of thinking.
ganksyHow is it that not a single journalist asked him to name one thing he’s done for black people?
oxjoxThis was also my take-away from a similar article I read earlier. Why not simple ask, “such as?” or, “yes, please remind the voters what you’ve done for Black Americans.”?
From 2020 - vox.com/…/what-trump-has-done-for-black-people
•Trump passed a significant criminal justice reform measure, but his administration has worked to undo it
• Black employment gains before the pandemic were real — but not the result of Trump’s presidential term
• Trump’s claims on poverty don’t tell the full story of racial disparity
• The mechanism for funding HBCUs has very little to do with Trump
Trump does indeed deserve some credit with criminal justice reform. It’s arguably the only good thing he did in four years. It’s certainly nothing to give any credence to “best since Lincoln”.
vox.com/…/state-of-the-union-trump-first-step-act…
The First Step Act, which passed with overwhelming support from Republicans and Democrats, takes modest steps to alter the federal criminal justice system and ease very punitive prison sentences at the federal level. It affects only the federal system — which, with about 181,000 imprisoned people, holds a small but significant fraction of the US jail and prison population of 2.1 million.
Essentially, the law allows thousands of people to earn an earlier release from prison and could cut many more prison sentences in the future.
Can we even be certain that the criminal justice reform was not just his way of making things easier for himself, as a criminal who would eventually face justice?
You know he doesn’t remember any of that and would instead go on yet another rant about how “Mexicans are taking Black jobs”
When was it that “attack” when from assumed to be physical to “clashed with” someone?
Several decades ago.
Do you have a particular moment in mind?
jordanlundOh, lordy, I hope there are tapes.

The Forbes channel upload on this has some comments that reminded me it doesn’t matter what he does or says… people just follow him blindly. What’s the quote? About him shooting someone on a corner and not losing a single vote…
What happened to his stupid fucking ear pillow?
Pretty quick surgical work.
Attack always attack has been his a successful strategy for him for so long that he has lost whatever meager ability to converse civil he may have ever once had. It’s fine though, I’m sure his cult of yes men will make him feel better.
