"Reignites" meaning newspapers cannot paraphrase what he did so that he looks sane this time. Dementia and a full diaper. He is declining fast.

[-] karl_chungus@lemm.ee 7 points 8 hours ago

Don’t you think he looks tired?

I love the immediate fact checking.

"She is dying to see my Cholesterol (which is 180!), I have already provided them, many times, including quite recently, and they were flawless," Trump wrote at 12:43 a.m. Tuesday.

Trump has not released his medical records while running for president this cycle.

His mere existence ignites questions about his mental acuity.

"I thought he would talk longer," she said. "However, I still will vote for him. I think he’s a very good candidate. … The concert was great."

Apparently watching someone stand on stage for 30 minutes while recorded music plays is...a concert?

The amount of self deception and cognitive dissonance on display is honestly kinda breathtaking

I think he is a very good candidate.. He cares only about himself, and so he lies and cheats. He says he grabs women by the pussy, I like that.

That woman, apparently.

It's more of a wedding party where the bride's new brother in law shows up to the reception completely wasted while calling out random songs and the DJ placates him as the family huddles in the prep room trying to figure out what to do with him.

Bait him out with cheese and bratwurst.

[-] ThePantser@lemmy.world 7 points 14 hours ago

DJ Trump in the house. Man if he wasn't such a piece of shit he has the perfect DJ name.

[-] jordanlund@lemmy.world 20 points 12 hours ago

More stunning that he has 30 minutes of music he's allowed to use...

[-] nokturne213@sopuli.xyz 23 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

I am fairly certain most if not all of the music he used he has been told to not use.

Edit to add: https://www.newsweek.com/entertainment/celebrity-news/every-artist-band-who-asked-trump-stop-using-music-august-2024-1946293

Artists that have asked or told him not to use their music as of September 3rd 2024: ABBA, Adele, Aerosmith, A-Ha, Beyoncé, Bruce Springsteen, Celine Dion, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Earth, Wind & Fire, Eddy Grant, Foo Fighters, Free, Guns N' Roses, House of Pain, Isaac Hayes, Johnny Marr, Linkin Park, Neil Young, Nico Vega, The O'Jays, Ozzy Osbourne, Panic! at the Disco, Pharrell Williams, R.E.M., Rihanna, The Rolling Stones, Twisted Sister, Village People, The White Stripes.

Emphasis mine on artists I read were played last night.

[-] Sc00ter@lemm.ee 3 points 11 hours ago

I admittedly didn't watch it, but wasn't he playing ave Maria? That's gotta be public domain

[-] MeekerThanBeaker@lemmy.world 10 points 11 hours ago

The song maybe, but not that particular version.

[-] bstix@feddit.dk 55 points 15 hours ago

Part of his staff is pushing him him to be on stage, while the other half is trying to keep him from saying anything. Trump himself would rather be golfing. This is what you get from a tired old man, and that's how it'd work if he was in office too.

[-] Valmond@lemmy.world 17 points 14 hours ago

Yup, he also was golfing all the time when he was in office

[-] WoahWoah@lemmy.world 5 points 14 hours ago

He can't golf anymore because someone tried to kill him there.

[-] barsquid@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

I don't mind if he golfs some more.

[-] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 32 points 15 hours ago

Reignites?

If America hasn't figured this one out yet, Turnip isn't the one with a problem with their mental acuity.

[-] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 28 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

The Chief Fire Officer has just informed us that questions about Trump's mental acuity continue to be a Five Alarm Fire after ten years of steady burning. Questions about Trump's mental acuity are currently being compared to the Centralia, Pennsylvania Mine Fires.


"Reignites" my ass. These flames never went out. It's been a steady news diet of someone who was already a mentally deficient fucking freak on a downward spiral into dementia.

[-] Rapidcreek@lemmy.world 14 points 15 hours ago

We may have our October Surprise right here, kids. It's getting BAD. I think at this point a vote for tRump would effectively be a vote for JD Vance. I've heard drunks sound less slurred.

[-] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 15 hours ago

I think at this point a vote for tRump would effectively be a vote for JD Vance.

That has been the case since they chose Vance as a running mate. It was always clear they chose someone who isn't going to be afraid to backstab Trump by 25th amendmenting his ass and taking over the Presidency to roll out Project 2025.
