Yeah, he seems like a bit of- pardon my language, a real jerkface!

He represents the values of those who voted for him, or about half of US voters and all of the nonvoters in the US.

Listen I hate trump being a word salad clown more than average but this was barely a recognizable impression of an Indian. I'm super disappointed and I was shredded to find out it wasn't even on the level of trump making fun of the handicap. It was like watching an episode of Jerry Seinfeld doing the stand-up intro to his show. Perhaps less racist than that.

Not a thing the President of the United States should be doing, but that was nothing, at all. He imitated the man, for a single phrase, nothing outlandish. I do that all the time telling stories of personal interactions.

Anyway, we'll both be banned from lemmy for "inciting racism" or some such. 🤷🏻

You should what he shouldn't be doing fucking little kids. Or protecting anyone who has. Release the Epstein files.

The hell are you on about?! I'm merely stating that little imitation was nothing to get up in arms about. Did you actually watch the video? I had expected something utterly heinous.

FFS, the prime minister of Japan chased Trump around a palace today, corralling him like a toddler. Then he ranted to our seamen about fucking magnets. I can hardly be upset that he quoted Modi in his actual accent.

I've been banned 100 times for speaking, uh, loudly about this administration. Go check my posts if you think I'm MAGA.

Perhaps you should think both things are bad and completely bizarre thing for a leader of a country to do? You should stop becoming normalised to his weirdness. It is not normal, and never will be.

You have chosen an incredibly stupid way of apologising for Trump. Your strawman makes you look as stupid as him. Also go fuck yourself.

1

And it was just yesterday when The Daily Show talked about how “Trump tours Japan and manages not to do the accent”. Ah, sweet summer children.

A man gets tired having to update it every 16 hours. I took a few days off. The other employee was replaced by Ai.

He never should have apologized. Where's Robery Downey Jr.'s apology?

People don’t understand that back then making fun of racists was considered cool.

But this is talking about him wearing a turban when he visited India.

12

i think it was during his official visit to India - he busted out his best Bollywood drip.

I would love to see the actual video central to the article, but it's so laden with shitty advertisements, I just gave up

Yeah that was nothing. Big nothing burger.

But yeah, "after literally two days, they called up", as if by a miracle. Even he can't explain the real reasons.

His obsession with the Peace Nobel prize is getting more absurd by the day. Egomaniac toddler. But something good might come out of it, or at least less bad.

Honestly I can't hear any pretend-indian accent in the video. He did an odd voice but this seems like a nothing burger.

25

Trump supporters are committed to licking that boot. They'll take whatever he tosses at them and pretend it's gulab jamun.

5

Can anyone share the snippet of him making the Indian accent? I couldn't find it on Youtube.

edit: Just saw the video from imprudentmortal, dafuq. Wtf is the independent doing, what a crock of shit this story was. The guy is a fucking imbecile, making up these stories undermines the true stories where he is being his imbecile self.

Is lemmy just the new source of bad fucking info here? I struggle through the goddamn ads and trash and see the same voice that orange weirdo uses for everyone. It's not a slow Newsweek.

Sadly this place will lap up anything that agrees with their world view just like the right would, no seeking of truth.

You can’t have a discussion here that deviates from the popular view as you’ll be downvoted to shit for it. It has become an echo chamber where we all just stroke each others ego about how good we are and most people won’t engage with the other side as they believe they’re too far gone.

This has the added benefit of me spending less time on here and just being in the real world where people are open to change and new ideas.

I've found Lemmy to be among the least echo chambery spaces I've found online.

Sure there are a lot of prevailing opinions that people tend to share but there's also a lot of healthy discussion.

LOL. It's just people kicked off Reddit, be honest.

Sounds like a good crowd.

Given the absolute fucking state of that insipid shithole and how much I love lemmy, and how alike it is to early Reddit, I could not for the life of me think of better company.

5

I can't speak for everyone, but I've made some pretty libertarian arguments here that have gone over well. You have to tailor your message to your audience. Lemmy is quick to judge and dogpile, but its heart is in the right place. I'd rather get harsh criticism than be gaslit and censored.

5

Meh. I have a pretty detached perspective on socials. I like it here and I'm fine with it being a safe space or even an echo chamber and I really don't care too much about the upvote downvote stuff aside from it potentially affecting reach. We tend to pile on whichever direction those are trending because we're dumb humans. What I like is that I can dive into the fecal hell of other media and wash off my eyes a little here. Usually. Something that's always been aggravating about the fascists is that they need zero proof before they run with an idea to the point of actual insanity based on an uttered lie from one of their bootbearers. I'd like to hold the rest of us to a much higher standard but, you're right, it really is like we'll take any headline or statement we don't have an issue with as true without a second thought.

I honestly don't care about these 'Trump said or did something stupid' ""news"". I get it that his sundowning as hard as Biden did. Tell me if he nukes of threatens to nuke something.

Yes they smile and wobble their head when they say "Adolf hitler, verrry good leader". Happened to me twice, unprompted.
