This is a demoralization tactic.

It’s not about Biden, it’s not about conspiracies. It’s about rubbing your nose in it.

“Look at the absurd shit I can say and lose no support. Look at how brazenly I can spew this garbage and look at how you’re doing nothing about it. Fuck you, I win, and you won’t even try to stop me.”

You're giving way too much credit. I think he's just a jackass sharing conspiracy theories about people he doesn't like.

Yeah. I think it's somewhere in between this and the above post. I think he thinks it's funny, and he likes stirring the pot for his own amusement or to deflect from something else. I don't think he's thinking about it as a demoralization tactic; I think he's just having fun because he doesn't take being president seriously and he's just seeing what he can get away with.

I think Trump is mainly there for grifting, trolling, and bullying, and all the other stuff is just because he wants his crazy base to love him. He just uses the issues as leverage.

You sound like the opposing team in Air Bud insisting there’s a SERIOUS procedural problem here and totally ignoring the fact that a golden retriever is just dunking on you over and over again.

Like.. if he’s just a dumb jackass- it does NOT reflect well on you that you haven’t put a stop to it yet. The only possible takeaway is that you’re a huge coward, not that you don’t know what do do.

You sound really intelligent and reasonable.

yeah, no, his mental process definitely isn't that elaborate

Entirely seriously:

The last time I heard anyone talking about this conspiracy theory was when I was homeless ... this idea was fairly popular with the meth and fentanyl addict crowd.

I also witnessed some arguments over whether or not Kayne was a clone.

Yeah because clones come out the same age as the person they are cloned from...lol. Also why would you grow a clone that has cancer?

They aren't talking about real-world biological cell cloning. They're talking about a machine built with secret reptilian technology where you put the dead person in one cylinder and it scans them and then prints out a replica that is alive but without a soul, so then you turn it into a cyborg with a brain chip (more alien technology) and then it can be remote controlled and progammed what to say.

It is not so much a "conspiracy theory" as a "psychotic delusion". And all the 'Q' people believe it. They are all severely mentally ill.

I'm not a scientist, but anything that accelerated growth to make the clone the same age as you probably would cause cancer.

So, conspiracy fits.

UNSC flash clones... They come out like the original, but quickly degrade due to the process

Maybe he's seen that episode of Star Trek: Enterprise where they have a fast growing clone of Trip

If we can make a brief return to the "every accusation is a confession" mantra, isn't it more likely that the orange makeup, weird hair, goofy stance, and incoherent speech are ways to distract from or cover up bad clones or (more likely) body doubles?

I'm just asking questions.

/s of course

You wish. If that were the case they'd choose a better clone. No, Trump looking shitty and being incoherent is the best proof against any such ideas. But I'm sure nature will take care of it rather sooner than later.

Ah yes, the classic complete misunderstanding of what cloning actually is. They think you clone someone, and out comes a fully formed copy of the person at the same age.

Who needs basic science education, right?

Wait until he finds out that Humanity died off 400 years ago and everyone has been replaced by clones. Oh, and birds are not real!

My god, such a horrible conspiracy theory... just on it's face.

LLM's have drastically improved every year. Biden was so blatently on the mental decline.

ChatGPT would have smoked trump in the 2024 debates.

I don’t understand how this guy has been on international news for decades and Americans still don’t understand how he operates and continue to take the things he says at face value.

The corporate press has been working very hard to normalise him for all these years.

I can remember all of my life the press ridiculing him for his ego and ostentatiousness, remember gold toilets, his name everywhere? I remember when it seemed like every other year he was taking another casino into bankruptcy. I remember continuously complaints where he stiffed employees and contractors, daring them to sue against his team of lawyers who would make it far more expensive than the money owed. I remember allegations of tax fraud over years and decades that somehow never got investigated.

I remember ridicule over the stupid tv show he funded to rehabilitate his image: did that actually work?

I remember the laughing the first time he wanted to run for president, and he crashed in flames as no one would take him seriously as a candidate

How did such a long history of incompetence, self-servicing corruption ever get turned around?

The media sanewashes pretty much every word he says and it's infuriating. Trump says stuff daily that would have ended political careers 20 years ago regardless of party affiliation.

All this tells me is that in 20 years the opposition hasn’t adjusted their tactics. Talking here about the citizens, not the elected officials you already knew weren’t going to help.

So he's out of touch with reality. There should be some sort of protocol for when the president cannot perform his duties due to delusions
