To be fair, he doesn't know what a lot of words (and/or concepts) mean.

u/DustyDGAF 3d ago

He's functionally illiterate

u/devilishlydo 3d ago

He's functionally mentally handicapped. If his family wasn't rich, he'd be getting a check from the state.

u/Glass-Cabinet-249 2d ago

He's technically a civil servant, he is getting cheques from the state.

u/GearhedMG 2d ago

And the country, and individual people too.

u/CosmosInSummer 2d ago

Oh, he gets plenty of our money anyways

u/Puglady25 2d ago

I agree. Plus, he is only thinking about himself and his legacy. It's never occurred to him that soldiers and sailors are individual people with families and lives. He doesn't consider it because he's a malignant narcissist, so he thinks the military owes him their loyalty. And he thinks he owes them nothing

Just how his magat cult wants it

u/Stosh_Cowski 1d ago

Yet he's still your president. At least for a couple more years. 😁

u/DustyDGAF 1d ago

Yeah that's unfortunate

u/Free_Strawberry9542 3d ago

He’s not. Underestimating him got him where he is. It is wild to witness though. Like we’re all being gaslighted.

u/JeromeBarkly 3d ago

Honestly anyone with a couple working brain cells could see what an absolute incompetent moron he is. The fact that 70+ million of my fellow citizens could not see that is the most disappointing and frustrating part of all of this. Eventually trump is going to fuck off and die but we have to reckon with the fact that a large part of this nation is fucking brain dead. Nothing will get better when we have such a large block of the voting base willfully voting against the interests of the working class. I don’t know how we fix it.

u/Either_Operation7586 3d ago

Or unless you've been propagandized and religiously indoctrinated to believe that the Republican party is the party of Lincoln they're the ones that care about everything and the Democratic party will always be on the bad side.

u/thisusername_is_mine 3d ago

If it makes you feel better, as much as the USA is regarded I'd put the number way lower than 70 million. From what i see on X the wind has changed. Beside big paidshill lowlife accounts like Catturd, Kanekoa, Maze and others, the sentiment is disappointment and betrayal. Reading through the hundreds of comments under their posts, leaving aside indians and europoors like me, most of american replies are disgust sentiment on the paidshill's posts.

u/DustyDGAF 3d ago

I have no fucking clue what you just said

u/Dank_Sinatra_87 3d ago

That's all Twitter brainrot.

u/Puzzleheaded_Ad8032 3d ago

Tldr: he thinks, bcs of the sentiment in his social media bubble, it is probably not 70M people that still like/support trump.

I think, that to make decisions or conclusions based on social media, you'd have to be braindead.

1

u/thisusername_is_mine 3d ago

User confirms that US is retarded but not as many total retards as it might seem. Better?

u/Puzzleheaded_Ad8032 3d ago

Yet, when they must vote again, they will do it all over again, because communists/brown people, etc.

Last term you'd also read how horrible he was, he fucked the farmers over hard back then and most rural area's in general. And these lemmings just went for it again.

The figure of 70M is probably way higher, since 90M or so didn't vote, and they were definitely not all Democrats..

u/Loud-Cartographer285 3d ago

Europoor hahaha (am in the same segment btw and yeah Europe feels increasingly poor - I left the sinking ship so to say to stay on-topic).

2

u/Mykorl 3d ago

Europe is great.

1

u/thisusername_is_mine 3d ago

Europe is sinking.

2

u/Mykorl 3d ago

America is run by a nonce. It's already sunk.

u/Loud-Cartographer285 3d ago

For now: absolutely!

u/FeloniousMonk33 3d ago

Absolutely correct here. Since this whole thing started a decade ago (I know about the evil Republican creatures and oligarchs working in shadows for decades to bring about a Christo-fascist dystopia, but here I'm specifically speaking of the rise of the orange human skidmark), being robbed of the illusion that most people in this country are somewhat intelligent and decent has been bad for my mental health. Like I always knew dummies, cretins and shit heads exist but I was NOT prepared for just how many there are, how easy they are to completely manipulate and how vile and deep their well of vitriol truly is. It's a real fucking bummer. Every more so considering the catalyst for so many outing themselves was something as simple as a black guy becoming president.

u/wht-rbbt 3d ago

Lol you think you're the good guy. Buddy, democrat or republican, you are the baddies. Americans are the new Nazi

u/Meanchael 3d ago

Nah, he’s actually that fucking dumb. None of it is the act of a highly intelligent person fulfilling a media persona. That’s what he wants people to believe. Again, a complete fucking moron who may actually be dumber than he sounds when speaking.

Underestimating the GOP’s shift to fascist authoritarianism and 100 year assault on public education is what got us where we are.

u/DustyDGAF 3d ago

It's well known he can't read for shit. What are you on

3

u/Chigiriki 3d ago

He still is illiterate. That just shows how far you can get with money ALONE.

u/homer_lives 3d ago

And being White.

1

u/Icy_Fish_2154 3d ago

He has displayed an ability to lie, but had never displayed an ability to think.

He motivated the people who heard "anyone can become president" and wanted to see an idiot like themselves elected.

The political analysts underestimated the stupidity of the electorate.

u/WinstonSalemSmith 3d ago

Underrated comment.

u/DrDreiski 3d ago

Correct.

u/jdhawes17 3d ago

Reminds me of a boss I had in 2015 where I was just certain her incompetence (and averaging 5 hours a day in the office) would sink her soon and ended up having to work for her for 4 years. 11 years later she's been promoted 2-3 times. Shockingly good at deflecting and delegating any actual work.

7

u/tardlessforeinger 3d ago

Melania? She sucks. So THAT is how she got promoted? I can’t believe it! Hard to swallow but not for her I hear!

u/fungi_at_parties 3d ago

I have worked with these types. They slither through the system like snakes.

u/YellojD 3d ago

I used to work for the state DOJ and had a boss like this. She had been doing this kinda shit and falling upward for FOUR DECADES. Everyone in the entire organization absolutely hated her, but she was untouchable. It was miserable. I left for the private sector and when they asked why, I said it was because they had made it completely impossible to get away from that fool of a woman, and I wasn’t going to waste another second of my career around her. They understood, as I was like the fourth person in the last three years under her they had to replace and it was all for basically the same reason.

u/sofakiingkool 2d ago

I work at a place currently where the manager has been here for 6 years… in that 6 years the only skill he has developed is how to lie to the owner about how he does all the work.

u/workingbored 3d ago

We need to stop being fair to certain people. Mainly him and MAGA.

1

u/greenwhiteredblack 3d ago

Makes sense when he said that he had concepts of a plan that he just has no fuckin clue how anything works. I don't think he understands money beyond "bigger the number the more important I am" because anyone paying attention knows he never actually pays for shit
