"Trump is not cognitively there".

So, he's the perfect representative for the American people.

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 4 points 57 minutes ago

Maybe they successfully groomed a better younger asset & this one has done its part & now gets polonium garnish.

Back before the election, Trump spoke about the fictional character Hannibal Lecter, at least twice, like he was a real person. Trump was never cognitively there!

[–] cobysev@lemmy.world 40 points 3 hours ago (2 children)

He kept talking about Hannibal Lecter because someone mentioned asylum for immigrants, and the only "asylum" he knows is an insane asylum.

So he started talking about Hannibal Lecter every time he mentioned immigrants, equating them with insane cannibals who want to eat you.

And only peope who were as extremely stupid as himself would have ever realised that connection.

Is there a term for Pavlov's dog but done to yourself?

Autohypnosis

Before DJT had symptoms of his father's Alzheimer's, which is a decade since now since it has shown on TV, he was even back then, how he calls it, a low IQ individual. And a racist

No shit, that's why he signs whatever they put in front of him, and project 2025 has been followed almost to a T. He doesn't give a crap about anything in project 2025. But he's mentally in lala land and they've been hiding his declining health for a while.

[–] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 20 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Can someone sneak in an executive order instituting free basic healthcare and education for all, in one of the bundles of paper he signs?

[–] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 16 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I dunno, give it a shot. Maybe he'll just sign it and go for a big mac.

[–] _druid@sh.itjust.works 12 points 4 hours ago

It's why they want to get rid of PBS, he wants to be the most famous puppet.

[–] entwine413@lemm.ee 37 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

They haven't been hiding it well. His dementia was apparent even in 2016.

[–] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 17 points 6 hours ago

It's not just dementia anymore. That's just a symptom, whatever it is has progressed a lot.

[–] MrVilliam@lemm.ee 15 points 6 hours ago

But at least he isn't using autopen! /s

That dumb motherfucker is the autopen.

My brother in law, without skipping a beat: "obviously he meant Micronesia"

My reply, apparently not enough to get a response: "So you're okay with a president who's so cognitively vacant he can't tell the difference between two very different sounding words?"

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 2 points 53 minutes ago

Obviously got his countries mixed up - it's the Microplastesia that is invading every bit of USA (and indeed the world).

[–] Zero22xx@lemmy.blahaj.zone 19 points 3 hours ago

"obviously he meant Micronesia"

These people are goners. Completely in lala land now. Trump could have an episode where he sits on stage digging into his diaper and eating his own shit and these people would go "Trump is a very smart man returning those nutrients to his body" and they'd all start eating their own shit too.

[–] adarza@lemmy.ca 7 points 5 hours ago

was totally unaware that fsm was a toy manufacturing powerhouse.

[–] FistingEnthusiast@lemmynsfw.com 11 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

As well as the fact Micronesia is also not a country...

It’s okay, we all know Trump wouldn’t know this at all.

[–] Barrymore@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 hours ago

He obviously meant Micronauts...

So I guess Barbieland is part of the Axis of Evil now?

[–] TowardsTheFuture@lemmy.zip 44 points 6 hours ago

Man thought the Barbie movie was a documentary and is ready to nuke the country Mattel for making a woke movie in their country.

[–] Aeri@lemmy.world 24 points 6 hours ago

Mfw Mattel secedes from the union

[–] RoidingOldMan@lemmy.world 15 points 6 hours ago (4 children)

This one isn't so bad. Simple misspoken word. Meant to say "company" not "country." He referenced their "CEO" a moment later.

Literally a zillion valid thing to complain about Trump. This was nothing.

[–] D_C@lemm.ee 4 points 23 minutes ago

He needs to be judged harshly on everything he does. Everything.

Let's just imagine if Biden had said something like that. Or if Obama did it (whilst wearing a tan suit for extra fake rage). The us media would've been shouting about it and there'd be TV shows about it. Oppositional politicians would've been demanding impeach this and impeach that etc etc etc...

But, oh, it's tRUMP who may have misspoke? Oh, well, he's done much worse so let's give him a pass, shall we? How about this...NO.
That fat, dumb, racist, rapist, orange cunt gets no pass, ever.

It's the small passes over the years that have had no consequences for him that have allowed him to move to bigger and bigger stuff to the big horrible shit that he's doing now. And has been doing for decades.
No passes, just harsh criticism. That's all he deserves.

[–] Mog_fanatic@lemmy.world 1 points 50 minutes ago

I kinda agree. I think the much bigger story would be the fact that he's threatening a singular company with a specific tariff of they don't do what he likes. I don't even think that's legal, especially without congressional approval tho I could be wrong. In any case if we start going down the road of picking and choosing which specific companies get to have tariffs or not we are going to fly so fast down the slippery slope of corruption my ass will break the sound barrier

[–] Merva@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 hours ago

For anybody else in his position it would have been a pretty big deal. But because it is Trump and we know how he is with words (as in not at all), this is "nothing".

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 18 points 3 hours ago

What makes it sting is that when it was Biden or Obama misspeaking, the right wing troll farms and the entire corpoganda machine would have a great day with it. And god help them if they wore beige.

So yeah, I don't feel a need to play fair anymore. He asked for every whiff of smoke he's getting.

[–] saltesc@lemmy.world 9 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

Contextually, there's no indication he had confused Mattel with a country, likely just said the word because of speech habit when talking about tariffs. To think he confused it, you'd have to subscribe to the idea he thinks it's a country that makes toys and is run by an executive, or had an ear piece correct him mid-sentence.

He fucks up multiple times a day. There's much more low-hanging fruit than this. Come on, peeps.

[–] TheOctonaut@mander.xyz 6 points 1 hour ago

Right. Just so we're clear then, he knows Mattel is a company, and he thinks companies can impose tariffs on the USA.

And that's better?

[–] joenforcer@midwest.social 4 points 4 hours ago

I'm tired, boss.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 9 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

I wonder if he thinks Barbieland from the Barbie movie is the country of Mattel 🤔

[–] ziggurat@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago

Its just Alzheimer's, and hes trying to talk like he thinks people doesn't see it.

His father also had it. And it is linked to both bad diet and genetics

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 hours ago

No, but he strayed further.

[–] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

He's 100% cognitive. Problem is, he's stupid.

[–] Liome@pawb.social 5 points 4 hours ago

Both can be true.
