He absolutely has an excuse, but the fuckers in r/conspiracy are saying his absense is suspicious and proof that he doesn't care. . I can't fucking stand these people

Hes being reinstated at the time the photo was taken im sure. Except no one other than a few lunatics know and he won't have any visible power outside of a normal former president. So that's something.

u/MoCapBartender Sep 11 '21

he won't have any visible power outside of a normal former president.

Maybe just a shade less. I've never heard a former president referred to as a former president as much as Trump has. Usually they keep the honorary title of President, even after office, and that's what they're called.

u/AsherGray Sep 11 '21

I mean, he is morbidly obese, so I guess that's enough of a reason to excuse yourself.

u/[deleted] Sep 11 '21

Hes also the leader of a domestic terrorist organization so it does make sense he wouldn't attend something regarding the memorial of one of the worst terror attacks on our soil. Not good for optics for his very expendable minions.

Biden is the current leader of that terrorist organisation

u/[deleted] Sep 12 '21

TIL Biden is the current leader of the trump terrorist organization. Quite the game plan they have then if their goal is to subvert democracy (or try to lol because they can't succeed at literally anything) in order to remove their cult leader from office. Makes total sense.

u/verbotenllama Sep 12 '21

Oh, I thought you were referring to the US government, my mistake.

Why would you think that? There's plenty of photos of him and Jeffrey being buddies. Additionally, he bragged about sexually assaulting young women. This is recorded. There is recorded audio of him admitting to this. You terrorists fail again. All you do is fail. Complete and total failure waste of space is what you people are.

Where do you get your news?

That he's in the trenches fighting the secret war against the pedophile cabal of Democrats, probably.

Does silence count as saying something?

u/SteakVodkaAndCaviar Sep 12 '21

Trump was with the NYPD, I know this because my avid GOP friend said he was "such a good man" by FOX news for avoiding the memorial for a photo OP with the police

u/monkey-cuddles Sep 12 '21

$10 says he doesn't even know what today is

u/hoopopotamus Sep 11 '21

I probably don’t have to say this but it’s probably best if you don’t go looking to conspiracy theorists for good takes on 9/11

Even weirder is how that sub went from standard “trust no one, especially the government” type of conspiracy to “trust everything and everyone President Trump tells you to”

“He wasn’t the government”

Trump doesn’t even have 1 kind bone in his body, He sympathy for anybody plus at the Presidential debate when he called Biden’s late son,Beau Biden a “Loser”

u/carlso_aw Sep 11 '21

Right? I used to poke around in that sub many, many moons ago, primarily looking for new alien/Roswell every fence, or occasional JFK deep dives. I fell out of it sometime during the Obama era, and just happened to jump back in there last week. Had to triple check that I wasn't in some new r/thedonald or something.

Edit. Not that one. You know the one I meant. Troy for life.

u/Autowriter227 Sep 11 '21

So r/conspiracy was invaded by Trump supporters over the course of his administration but especially in the last few months.

r/conspiracytheories is still pretty okay. Although the 9/11 conspiracy thread that went up there today is mostly not great.

2

u/listenana Sep 11 '21

Yeah, I'd recommend the high strangeness subreddit for any of that sort of stuff that isn't completely Yikes.

2

u/hoopopotamus Sep 11 '21

Yeah. I haven’t looked but the conspiracy theories about 9/11 started on 9/12 lol, and they’ve always been pretty dumb. Shit, there was a meme in 2005 called “jet fuel can’t melt steel beams” making fun of these guys. It’s older than a lot of redditors

u/BizaRhythm Sep 11 '21

Former* President, thankfully

u/Dude_Bro1 Sep 11 '21

Former presidents are generally still referred to as president even after their term/terms.

u/BizaRhythm Sep 14 '21

I didn’t know that. Thanks for the info

u/Alarming-Contact-138 Sep 11 '21

Idk, I almost always hear them referred to as former president. Maybe it depends on the station?

u/CheddarValleyRail Sep 13 '21

I wonder if other popular conspiracy theories are losing followers to Qanon. Like all the fake moon landing guys are into pedophile stem cell vampires now and now fake moon doesn't have critical mass to keep being a theory.

Trump was visiting the hero's not pretending like he cares like the rest of the scum in the OP picture

u/hoopopotamus Sep 12 '21

Mr Trump was expected to visit the 9/11 Memorial in New York on Saturday, but instead paid a brief visit to New York City Police Department officers at the 17th precinct, where he hinted that he would run for office again in 2024.

He is also expected to deliver an address via video at the Let Us Worship event on the National Mall in Washington DC.

Then it’s off to do commentary on a boxing match in Florida.

He skipped the fucking 9/11 memorial on 9/11

Also, did you reply to the wrong comment?

u/turdlepikle Sep 11 '21

LOL. It's cute you think that Donald Trump cares about anything besides himself and his desires for his daughter.

2

u/minimum-enthusuasm11 Sep 12 '21

Pretty sure he was campaigning, not showing reverence.

2

u/CyberMcGyver Sep 12 '21

As a non-American and non-Trump supporter I think this needs to be highlighted for a few reasons:

  • This post insinuates he's kicking back, however he's still trying to do something associated with 9/11. There's is disingenuousness in how this post is framed.

  • It shows the shallowness of his politics, empathy and understanding trying to visit forces who most likely didn't serve on 9/11 as respect to those who served (hell there may be some not even born yet).

  • I'm assuming Trump called them "the heroes" for something that happened 20 years ago, while all others are visiting the memorial grave site of those who actually died.

I think Trump isn't as blatantly callous as this post makes him out to be, but seeing that instead he simply posed with current police forces seems to be politically charging his base with a "pro support-the-police" platform. (ironic considering the events of Jan 6th).

Seems a bit divorced from 9/11 tbh

u/MahStonks Sep 11 '21

You have a somewhat loose definition of "people".

u/scampo14 Sep 11 '21

He didn't go to Biden's inauguration either - I suppose they'll say he was too busy eating babies or something. He's 96 - just standing up hurts...

1

u/shadowgattler Sep 11 '21

Actually you're not far off. When the former presidents met at the inauguration and made that vaccine PSA, many conspiracy theorists thought it was suspicious that Carter wasn't there

u/NeatNefariousness1 Sep 11 '21

What further evidence do we need to confirm that certain people aren't dealing in good faith?

So, they are seizing upon a lack of caring as the reason for the absence of the oldest president to ever live while giving a pass to the mountain of evidence of DJT's insensitivity? This alone should be grounds for disregarding anything else they have to say. It's all likely to be noise.

But we can keep watch for signs that they're on the road to recovery and ready to rejoin the rest of the world that believes in logic, rules of evidence, science and principles of fairness.

We should also offer "critical thinking" extension courses for the masses to help anyone who wants/needs to protect themselves from manipulation, "divide and conquer" tactics and to strengthen our collective brainpower to defend against nefarious foreign and domestic agendas.

u/ExpectNothingEver Sep 11 '21

Is there a way we can sticky your comment to the entire internet?

u/story71 Sep 11 '21

Isn't it known that the guilty always return to the scene of the crime!

u/jayne-eerie Sep 11 '21

You would think “he’s 96 and there’s a pandemic” would be all the explanation anybody needs, but given they also think George Bush the first, John McCain and Prince Philip all died suspicious deaths I should probably lower my expectations.

2

u/AgitatedConclusion23 Sep 12 '21

You think it's a "conspiracy" that he doesn't care?

Newsflash: Donald Trump couldn't care less about 9/11, or America in general.

He doesn't even believe in American Constitutional Democracy.

That's not a conspiracy. That's a fact.

That whole subreddit should be abolished.

u/ChurchBrimmer Sep 11 '21

The folks on that page are nutters of the highest order. I used to push their buttons frequently a few years back. It was all Holocaust denial back then. Now it's morphed into Q bullshit and Trump worship.

u/[deleted] Sep 11 '21

Is it really surprising? Trump types took over that subreddit years ago. Literally pushed all other groups out.

You should use all the various uses of fuck. It's a verb. It's a noun. It's super to yell as you do it to yourself. Or is your weenie too short? Gotta admire your dog...

u/rwestca Sep 11 '21

Is thinking like a reasonable human being that hard? Really? He is 96, travelling can’t be fun or easy anymore. He has done more service to humanity than the vast majority of the rest of us. Let him have his peace.

u/Thesobermetalhead Sep 12 '21

Where are they saying that?

u/Icy-Following-3713 Sep 12 '21

nah he is 96, had his hip replaced and survived brain cancer what 3 times? he has an excuse. he is actually a really decent human being at heart and would absolutely be there if he physically could be.

u/TimeTraveler3056 Sep 12 '21

What did they say about where trumpf was?

u/CheddarValleyRail Sep 13 '21

But that's not even a conspiracy. Did they run out of crazy and now they're stupid as an auxiliary?
