He used to be funny at least. Now every public appearance he just whines and complains like a loser. He doesn't even have a good nickname for Kamala.

He doesn't make jokes anymore, he doesn't say anything shocking or edgy. He doesn't even make any funny gaffs. He's just sad, boring and low energy now. sad-boi Maybe he's getting old? IDK.

Time to start a rumor that he's been replaced by a body double.

I think he was already losing steam due to being old. Then he was legitimately really traumatized by almost getting his head blown off.

The best part is how he said he never wants to talk about the event again after the RNC speech, then every time he meets with people, they’re constantly waving a poster of the picture of him bloody in front of the flag or making memes referencing the shooting. Like imagine waking up to your near death plastered on this thing in your driveway everyday

Yeah, this must be.

I genuinely thought he would turn up the fash to 11 and just start dropping n bombs and directly referencing concentration camps.

[–] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 22 points 3 months ago

That's so much work though.

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 41 points 3 months ago (3 children)

Seriously imagine you come literal inches from getting shot in the head and the reaction of 60% of the entire country is "damn sucks the guy missed" and your "supporters" all think that doing anything to stop it from happening again is communism.

I don't have any sympathy for this asshole but that's gotta fuck with your head.

[–] jack@hexbear.net 23 points 3 months ago (1 children)

yeah honestly it rules lol, I hope he spends every moment the rest of his life in profound an irresolvible misery and distress

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 22 points 3 months ago

Honestly, same.

People should really pop balloons whenever they see him in public.

I'd Like to See Ol Donny Trump Wriggle His Way Out of THIS Jam!

he is not nearly smart enough to self-reflect that way

[–] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 51 points 3 months ago

American empire truly in decline when we can't even laugh at the fascists running the country sadness

Look at the chin. All body doubles have weak chins.

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 11 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Curt!s "Mendac!ous Mo!dbug" Jarv!n was a body double all along? wowee

[–] BeamBrain@hexbear.net 10 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Curt!s "Mendac!ous Mo!dbug" Jarv!n

Now there's a name I haven't heard in a long time.

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 9 points 3 months ago

He's still around, still collecting money from the billionaires he bootlicks for, and I'd probably have more to say than that if I didn't move out of his typical area of support.

Countdown to chuds saying Trump was replaced by a trans person...

[–] Diuretic_Materialism@hexbear.net 10 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

"Good news, your gender affirming surgery has been approved!"

"Yes! Finally!"

"Bad news, you have to impersonate Trump for a few years."

"..."

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 7 points 3 months ago

Sir, we have our best transvitigators on the case. We'll nab trans Trump in no time!

[–] joaomarrom@hexbear.net 45 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Remember how a couple months ago he said "motherfucker" at a rally? I think that was the first sign that he had lost his mojo. He had never used that kind of language in public before. I agree, he's really low energy now, especially after the shooting.

This is even true of his critics, to be honest. I don't see pages and pages of outrage over some remark of his, like we used to. I remember 2016-2018, when everywhere you looked was just headlines criticizing some bullshit he had said at some point.

I suppose it's a sign of the times, everybody is just... tired.

Say what you will about Hitler, but that guy had ENERGY.

Thanks to meth!

[–] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 38 points 3 months ago

It’s been hard without his friend

[–] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 35 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

He posts like a generic boomer now, he used to actually be funny.

I think part of it is that Biden was even worse, though.

Depressing Donald. Triste Trump.

[–] nat_turner_overdrive@hexbear.net 32 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I thought he had it in the bag after the debate but without an even older, more senile opponent he's really running on fumes

[–] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 40 points 3 months ago (2 children)

It cannot be overstated enough that the only reason Trump ever won in the first place was that the Democrats are so terrible that even a slimy car salesman could beat them.

It says a lot that someone as mid as Kamala is enough to turn it around for them.

[–] carpoftruth@hexbear.net 21 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Trump would have had a second term already if there hadn't literally been an apocalyptic globe spanning plague

[–] pastalicious@hexbear.net 24 points 3 months ago

That was a really powerful revealing moment for anyone who didn’t already understand that democrats don’t solve crises, they merely weaponize the spectacle of the crisis to promote their level headed managerial aesthetic. If you have an attention span, aren’t completely in denial and care about actually solving the crisis you discover very quickly that they wield their newly earned power as little as possible against the crisis.

[–] Findom_DeLuise@hexbear.net 19 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Cycle's not over yet. Never, ever underestimate Democrats' ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. There's still plenty of time for them to fuck this up.

[–] anarchoilluminati@hexbear.net 5 points 3 months ago

I'm still convinced they're fucked.

[–] axont@hexbear.net 28 points 3 months ago

All the chuds in my life think this is a sign that he's "getting serious" about winning. He wasn't ever serious about winning. He thought he would lose in 2016 and then figured he could overturn the results in 2020. Now that his opponent isn't an ancient cursed mummy and he has to campaign, he doesn't care

[–] Dessa@hexbear.net 27 points 3 months ago

Time to start a rumor that he's been replaced by a body double.

Trump's assassination was successful. The bullet that grazed him was poison-coated and he died a few days later, and was replaced by an elaborate mechanical latex AI mask grafted over the face of a body double

[–] mayo_cider@hexbear.net 25 points 3 months ago (3 children)

Give him a gun in a debate

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 29 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Give him the gun and 1 bullet separately and tell him if he can figure out how to load it he can use it.

Equal odds on who ends up shot.

[–] mayo_cider@hexbear.net 20 points 3 months ago

Kamala gets Biden with a steel chair if he can carry it up the stairs

[–] Diuretic_Materialism@hexbear.net 8 points 3 months ago

Nick Mullen: "that's what I would do in a ~~trial~~ debate, just bring a gun"

And set it up in the middle of Fifth Avenue.

[–] AmericaDeserved711@hexbear.net 12 points 3 months ago (1 children)

he "peaked" in 2016, had lost much of his mojo in 2020 after 4 years of actually being president and now he's just a washed-up sore loser. it will be funny if he loses and tries to run again in 2028 as a decrepit 82 year-old man coming off two back-to-back Ls

[–] barrbaric@hexbear.net 8 points 3 months ago

He will run in every election until he dies at the age of 104.

Our wet boy has ran dry 😔

It's the final season of the Trump show and like most entertainment, it's lost its edge after being drawn out too long. Whomp-whomp.

[–] nocturnedragonite@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 3 months ago

He was always boring and unfunny, guess the cracker genjutsu finally wore off
