I mean yeah, trump is insane but what about his cabinet? What about the people that thought he would be a capable leader; TWICE?
They’re all just opportunistic users who are trying to ride this pathetic loser’s coattails. That’s just me. There are a LOT of diagnosable personality disorders going on around there.
Three times!
Four times!
What about the VOTERS who saw this trainwreck of a human being and voted for him
Seems like I've been seeing articles like this for 10 years.
Really. His brain was already a pile of debris when he entered politics. This is further erosion, not a collapse.
And he never had an especially staggering intellect to begin with.
“Donald Trump was the dumbest goddam student I ever had.” - Prof. William T. Kelly
True, but that's because he has been declining for more than 10 years, probably more like 20.
Just take a look at any performance he did 20 years or more ago, and it is very clear his vocabulary is way better, and his thinking is way better and quicker.
Back then, he was at grade 7 level. Now he's at grade 4.
Stephen Miller and Russell Voght are certainly making use of it
And all Trump can talk about is building projects. I think because it's familiar and he feels safe when talking about it.
If only there was some way to not let insane people make decisions for a country
This is America.
It seems pretty clear. He lashes out anything this term and rambles on about nothing.
Wormtongue Miller sure had an easy time with whatever's left.
Dude's probably never been sane.
Cool Daily Beast, anyone with a touch of metal health experience was sounding off about this, and the staggeringly transparent Narcissistic personality characteristics in 2016.
If only everyone gave a shit about electing someone with, at minimum, obvious dementia nearly a decade ago.
Why are we even called the "United States"?
Dipshit retardville was just too on the nose.
I've been calling it 'The United Mistakes of America' since the Reagan era.
We say Trumpistan or the Poo-nited States
When will the physical collapse be obvious?
We don't care about his health. Expunge him.
If you guys want him dead so bad just fucking shoot him. Stop with the weekly “experts” proclaiming his imminent demise and just make use of your precious second amendment and shoot him.
Its so funny, democrats continually completely denied Bidens actually obvious mental problems. But they have been claiming Trumps mental decline, since, like beginning, and its just propaganda bs... I will make concession though because he is 79 damn years old, and yeah I think thats probably too old. There should be some kind of damn age limit. I hope we get a 35 yo president next...
Denied? You know he was replaced right?
What? Yeah, he was when Trump became president? What are talking about "replaced".
You people know nothing...
Is English your first language?
Ah, you lost the argument so you devolve into insults, good show. Carry on.
It wasn't an insult. I seriously can't understand what you are asking and was curious if you were a native speaker or not.
Okay. Fine... what can I explain for you? No more bs.
I don't need any explanation from you. I fully understand how you don't make sense to anyone.
It's not propaganda though. I agree they were hiding bidens mental decline. But the fact this old farts on death's doorstep get to run the country is fucking tragic. Thank god I was not born in the US
... this is exactly propaganda. Making claims about a president's health, obviously saying he isnt mentally fit to lead... how is that not propaganda? It doesn't matter if you be believe it to be true or not, thats not a factor. They are making the claim to ultimately push their agenda, its propaganda.
It can be hard too see, from... certain angles, sometimes.
By that measure everything ever is propaganda
Everything is Propaganda even if true and positive. Its meant to Propagate a set of information or ideas. We just hear it always used as a negativeconnotations.
The distinction used for the textbook definition of propaganda is essentially to set a narrative the way you want it to by hammering in a specific story with your angle (typically by flooding the relevant channels of communication with variants of your story). Controlling perception.
Regular communication which isn't that isn't propaganda.
I.e. We have Propaganda ads for our National healthcare system being helpful, free, and serving people. Its put out by the system that is represents. It is by definition propaganda, even though it is true and a beneficial kind.
Yeah, many things do fit that description
Maybe, but this is the correct opinion.
Like AOC? Or would you prefer someone with more Nazi ties?
