You forgot #3, do something else crazy to try and distract from this failure. But #2 is definitely in the cards as well.

It's probably like this downfall scene, except with dementia and pants-shitting.

Around 13,000 children under the age of 5 die every day. I’d love to see god explain that lol

Been thinking about that myself, with my shitty religious upbringing. This is what god wants. And, if you're Jewish and you've at least heard the phrase "god's chosen people," I just wonder how you square that with one of the worst people to live having killed 6 million of them. God was really looking out for the chosen people that day, let me tell ya...

My dad is 60 and has had a stroke in Janurary. He's far from perfect, but he's been a good role model for me, made me a better person, and helped me when I realized my mom was more insane each passing day.

This fucker is the oldest president, looks worse than his age, is angry 24/7, and hasn't had one.

Life is a cruel joke.

Maybe who you think god is is all wrong? Maybe it's the other guy or girl or it who's really in charge.

Unless Trump is the antichrist, then God intended for it to happen.

Maybe God isnt all powerful and is forced to watch all she made kill itself over and over in ever more savage ways.

Exactly. If we actually had a real oppositional "liberal media", they'd be tearing this asshat a new one for his dumbfuckery.

I thought he would’ve been impeached by now. I am a bit surprised he hasn’t been.

Leave the poor cactus out of this. This is why man invented angle grinders.

MSM heavily benefited from trump being center of attention, and most of them are owned by conservatives anyways. just like fb, youtube, reddit right wing gaffes drives traffic.

It seemed like a good idea at the time.

I mean, it's worked for him in the private sector. Didn't scale up.

He also seemingly selected some of them by watching what they did on the TeeVee. I guess he thought that's pretty much how HE got there, since he had that stupid game show, so....

I'm so fucking tired of the incessant sane-washing. Just constant gaslighting from all sides to make me feel crazy for freaking out about this shit. I'm sick of it

For real, what a braindead (at best) thing to say. His attempts to ethnically cleanse Palestine and build resorts on the coast, and his attempts to steal mineral wealth from Ukraine while under brutal attack by Russia, those attempts have faltered? Yeah, thankfully they have, I'm sure he's still trying though.

I'm so tired of all the "reasonable language" used for this administration. It just amounts to flat out lying to avoid upsetting the very worst fucking people. Again - at best - that's me being charitable, there are even worse motivations than that of course.

Be fair. He tried nothing and is all out of ideas.

Well he did yell at Zelensky?

His plan was to pressure them the way he’s used to pressuring people in his business dealings. The only problem is that countries like Ukraine aren’t just businesses that he can stiff, drag to court, etc.

His attempt was a concept of a plan.

He thought he could make more fake deals and get good press, but the nihilist tech bro backed death cult had other ideas.

yeah some progressive senator/rep was saying this was actually 10d chess on trump's part to extract concessions from industries in exchange for tariff relief, and, maybe, but also, you know, there is the other explanation

Once he sees not everyone will he'll start censoring those who don't. He's fixated on getting things done his way regardless of how it affects anyone else.

and slow rebuilding will start.

And then Democratic voters will get complacent, or get all pissy about how their pet project for change isn't getting enough attention fast enough, and not vote the next time leading to a Republican getting back in office BECAUSE SURELY THAT WILL HELP THEIR FUCKING PRECIOUS INTERESTS. It worked out so~ well this past Fall, didn't it? Nothing at all~ to be concerned about, worried about, uncertain about, or terrified about now.

If Democrats elect competent leaders

Pelosi and Schumer, and all their fanbois (people listening to them even when they aren't in office), would need to go.

Brexit is like herpes. It just keeps on giving.

I also love how he ran as a reformer candidate, as if we didn't have 4 years of evidence of him accomplishing nothing of value for his voters. Social media and 24/7 news have given us all goldfish memories.

he wouldn't have a lot else left in his life.

He would still have his diapers.

Stimulants. Where do you think Jr. gets it from?

It's not like he really does anything except golfs, eats McDonald's, possibly gropes or sexually assaults young girls (some habits are hard to break - grab them by the pussy right?). He doesn't read, doesn't think - he basically signs whatever heritage foundation and his rich friends put in front of him to sign.

Hate.

Drugs. Adderall, mostly.

Time will. Just not soon enough.

Genuinely something I've wondered about for a while. I guess he's got some regular golf competitors? As long as he wins tremendously

I'd imagine he thinks that other evil rich people and sycophants whose immoral compasses are aligned are his friends, but in reality they're around because it benefits them (or they think it does), and they'd stab him in the back as soon as it benefits them. (It's just that so far it hasn't benefited their morally corrupt causes yet.) So people like the deceased Epstein, and Canadian traitors Kevin O'Leary and Gretzky. AB Premier Danielle Smith wouldn't even be an afterthought of a "friend" in this context, but she's trying so desperately hard to be accepted, it's pathetic.

If he were smart enough to do that, he probably wouldn't have bankrupted a casino twenty years ago.

I can think of one thing he could do that would get him lots of good press, but it's typically a TOS violation.

Narcissistic psychopaths gonna narcissistic psychopath.

It's surprising how few supporters you get when they aren't allowed to criticise you in any way

Especially since in his case “support” means unconditional loyalty and subservience.

French style coup

his blood is mostly DIET COKE anyways.

Those are bots. The majority of MAGA supporters probably don't even remember their account passwords.

People who find him useful.

He might not have any friends, but there are probably a few people that consider him a useful idiot...

Wouldn't be wild to say that there's some dementia and cognitive decline going on with Trump. I'm not saying this as a joke or insult, the guy is seriously behaving randomly and people around his are too scared to disagree.

That's how Fascism works.

I will now gaze wistfully into the near distance and contemplate life under the more competent evil.

He doesn't "think". Ever.

Would be hilarious to see him pull a 180 on everything.

He probably told Netanyahu to please stop it, it's hurting my PR now, and was shocked when he said no

The one thing that might save us is the MAGA obsession with forcing their virtuosic incompetence on everything and everyone. Their inevitable failure is built into their system.

Meanwhile, anyone with competence and experience is now playing for the opposing team, so if the Dems can manage to regain power, they will have a deep bench to draw from.

but also why stop MAGA when they're fucking up this badly?

Hey imagine if you had a baby inside you, and then something catastrophic happened and the failed pregnancy now was threatening your life.

Now imagine you heard someone saying some dumb shit like you are now saying while you were wondering if your doctor was going to be able to operate on you before it was too late as you sit waiting to get close enough to death to be saved...

Now imagine the Democrats over decades and decades pretending like they were going to fight to stop this kind of insane cruelty towards women, raised countless amounts of money on that narrative, and then proceeded to do next to NOTHING to stop the overturning of Roe V. Wade, to put the brakes on ths descent into fascism at all?

Now shut the fuck up.

You can do this thought experiment from the perspective of an immigrant who has watched the Democratic party totally adopt a rightwing framing on immigration and lean into dehumanizing immigrants, but they would talk about it in a nicer way..... (I mean look at Biden's record on immigration, it is downright conservative).... and imagine right now you hear someone saying something like you just did as the entire country collapses into a crisis over whether immigrants should be treated like human beings or not.

The place to fight was to never accept these horrendous framings that are so twisted they are violent threats to our loved ones and the people that make up our communities, shame on you for having the smallness of vision to see how badly the Democrats failed and are failing to meet this moment by and large.

No, there is so much more they could have done and they could be doing, and many of them aren't because they are actually fine with this along with every damn Republican.

Because they don't only fuck maga they fuck the world and it will take years to build the unfucking back

Just because the Republicans are awful doesn’t excuse the Democratic party for being completely ineffective captured opposition.

90% of them just roll over because they love power more than standing up for what’s right.

True Leaders would be out on the streets, galvanizing a scared, angry but rudderless public......

I think the sentiment is that, by allowing the administration to continue making blunders, they are helping the democratic party in the long-term, but people are being hurt in the short-term.

I understand that their hands are tied, but a large swath of the public is furious and want their fury to be echoed by their representatives.

All that said, you could say pretty much the same thing happened from the maga pov back in 2012, and that's how we got into this mess.
