Trump keeps falling asleep. How much longer can he pretend to be running the country?

@oldrawgabbit
I've said it before and I'll keep saying it till in sinks in:

Showboating galactic criminal Zaphod Beeblebrox from "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" was elected president NOT to run the galaxy but to distract attention away from those who do. #THHG

#TrumpIsZaphodBeeblebrox

@oldrawgabbit
#DonTheCon... who made "Affordability" the centerpiece of his 2024 re-election campaign... now calls #affordability "a #Democrat con-job".

Well, it certainly WAS a #ConJob, as #inflation was going DOWN under #Biden after #DisasasterDon destroyed the #SupplyChain by ignoring #Covid.

But now inflation is back up, and the same guy who RAILED about inflation under #Biden, is now admitting it was all a con-job.

Yeah. We knew that. 😞

WATCH: Trump says the word 'affordability' is a 'con job' by the Democrats

President Trump suggested that the rising cost of living in the United States is a "fake narrative" that is being pushed by Democrats.

Rereading Hitch Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. Really amazed at how Adams captured the Insurrectionist Number 1 in the character Zaphod Beeblebrox. Even has him wear an orange sash. #bookstodon #HHGG

@MugsysRapSheet @oldrawgabbit I've long been saying that too. He's Zaphod - just without the charm and charisma of Zaphod.

@MugsysRapSheet @oldrawgabbit

Take your point re a puppet for distraction, but sorry you cite Zaphod as comparison to the petulant pedophile.
Must re-read, but don't remember Zaphod being evil or spiteful.
Certainly not demented.

@oldrawgabbit
I've used the hashtag #ToddlerTrump since his first term. He has always been a giant man-baby with the impulse control of a toddler (with the same propensity to just make up stuff, then insist it is totally true.)

It appears others are finally starting to wake up to the fact #TrumpIsZaphodBeeblebrox.

Psaki: No one home at the White House but the man-children

Jen Psaki looks at the myriad ways Donald Trump and members of his administration are indulging reckless, juvenile ideas with no one pushing back to force a re-thinking. Miles Taylor, former chief of staff at the Department of Homeland Security during Donald Trump's first term, joins to share his experience of why it's so bad that there are no grown-ups in the White House in Trump's second term.

@oldrawgabbit
The portion of the (above) video… the interview with #ToddlerTrump's former chief of staff of the DoHS Miles Taylor… brings up another assertion I've made for years. Saying:

"I can't tell you the number of times we were ordered to boil down a 60 page presentation to just One bullet point & a graphic." Describing it as "preparing our presentation w/a Coloring Book."

This falls right in line with my long-time assertion that #TrumpIsFunctionallyIlliterate.

Serious question: Is Trump Functionally Illiterate?

Serious question: “Is Trump Functionally Illiterate?” I’m not trying to be funny. This is a very real question with serious implications. It’s a question that has been on my mind for more than a year, and I’ve been paying close attention looking for...

DO YOU SEE IT YET, #MAGA? 🤨

#DementiaDon denies he ever said he'd release the video of those strikes on the "Drug Boats"... something he promised he'd do just 5 days before to the same reporter.

And when she asks again, he accuses her of lying and spreading #FakeNews. This man is not well and belongs in a nursing home. Not the Oval Office with his finger on The Button.

This reminds me SO MUCH of my father (who's in a nursing home with #dementia.)

ABC has it right here on video:

A reporter asks #DillusionalDon, "What grade do you give yourself on the #economy?"

#ToddlerTrump: "An A+. A+++++ (5 pluses.)"

The man is SO deep inside the bubble, he's completely divorced from reality.

Potus #DonTheCon has a LONG history of promising to release things only to… not just fail to do so… but actually FIGHT to block the release of the very thing he pretended to be so willing to reveal in the first place.

He NEVER released his taxes.
He NEVER released his medical records (including the reason for his frequent MRI's.)
He has yet to release the #Epstein Files (Dec 19 deadline looming.)
He has yet to release the video of the 2nd #DrugBoat strike.

Trump’s old tricks fall flat from overuse in the face of hard realities

Jen Psaki reviews the myriad scandals, disgraces, and bad news stories that are plaguing Donald Trump and his administration, and the familiar playbook of gaslighting, distraction, and lies that Trump is deploying with decreasing effectiveness.

#DonTheCon has a LONG history of making false promises, soaking up the praise, resulting in his #Cult to stop paying attention, at which point he then changes his mind and fights to block their release.

And they keep falling for it. 🤦‍♂️

(Add to that list [above], blocking the release of the latest jobs reports & economic data from the #BLS. He KNOWS they're bad, but as long as he suppresses them, he can continue to #gaslight everyone.)

@MugsysRapSheet

i assume it was only 7 pluses because by then he was out of breath and fell asleep ?

@the5thColumnist
I had to correct that.

It was *only* 5 plusses. 😉
