did he watch the barbie movie and thought barbie land was real?
Back before the election, Trump spoke about the fictional character Hannibal Lecter, at least twice, like he was a real person. Trump was never cognitively there!
He kept talking about Hannibal Lecter because someone mentioned asylum for immigrants, and the only “asylum” he knows is an insane asylum.
So he started talking about Hannibal Lecter every time he mentioned immigrants, equating them with insane cannibals who want to eat you.
Is there a term for Pavlov’s dog but done to yourself?
Autohypnosis
And only peope who were as extremely stupid as himself would have ever realised that connection.
Before DJT had symptoms of his father’s Alzheimer’s, which is a decade since now since it has shown on TV, he was even back then, how he calls it, a low IQ individual. And a racist
Contextually, there’s no indication he had confused Mattel with a country, likely just said the word because of speech habit when talking about tariffs. To think he confused it, you’d have to subscribe to the idea he thinks it’s a country that makes toys and is run by an executive, or had an ear piece correct him mid-sentence.
He fucks up multiple times a day. There’s much more low-hanging fruit than this. Come on, peeps.
I’m tired, boss.
You’re a thurd of the way to first base; you’re practically home!
Right. Just so we’re clear then, he knows Mattel is a company, and he thinks companies can impose tariffs on the USA.
And that’s better?
I’unno. Watch the video. It’s…somethung. Stupid as always, but didn’t think Mattel was a country, that’s for sure.
By the power of GREYSKULL!!!
Mattel? Pfft. The Hasbro Army is the one to worry about.
This is a stretch. I saw the video, and he just misspeaks by saying “country” instead of “company”, but it’s clear that he understands it’sa company. He says he’ll place tariffs on their toys, not the “country of Mattel”
No shit, that’s why he signs whatever they put in front of him, and project 2025 has been followed almost to a T. He doesn’t give a crap about anything in project 2025. But he’s mentally in lala land and they’ve been hiding his declining health for a while.
Can someone sneak in an executive order instituting free basic healthcare and education for all, in one of the bundles of paper he signs?
Just call them something like “Repeal Obamacare and institute Trumpcare Act” and "Great American Education Act’ and he’ll sign them without reading.
I dunno, give it a shot. Maybe he’ll just sign it and go for a big mac.
They haven’t been hiding it well. His dementia was apparent even in 2016.
It’s not just dementia anymore. That’s just a symptom, whatever it is has progressed a lot.
It’s why they want to get rid of PBS, he wants to be the most famous puppet.
The Ronnie Reagan 2 the dementia boogaloo

But at least he isn’t using autopen! /s
That dumb motherfucker is the autopen.
This one isn’t so bad. Simple misspoken word. Meant to say “company” not “country.” He referenced their “CEO” a moment later.
Literally a zillion valid thing to complain about Trump. This was nothing.
I kinda agree. I think the much bigger story would be the fact that he’s threatening a singular company with a specific tariff of they don’t do what he likes. I don’t even think that’s legal, especially without congressional approval tho I could be wrong. In any case if we start going down the road of picking and choosing which specific companies get to have tariffs or not we are going to fly so fast down the slippery slope of corruption my ass will break the sound barrier
What makes it sting is that when it was Biden or Obama misspeaking, the right wing troll farms and the entire corpoganda machine would have a great day with it. And god help them if they wore beige.
So yeah, I don’t feel a need to play fair anymore. He asked for every whiff of smoke he’s getting.
Beige, hot dog, sipping from a straw, walking barefoot
Wow, your arms must be sore carrying all that water.
For anybody else in his position it would have been a pretty big deal. But because it is Trump and we know how he is with words (as in not at all), this is “nothing”.
He needs to be judged harshly on everything he does. Everything.
Let’s just imagine if Biden had said something like that. Or if Obama did it (whilst wearing a tan suit for extra fake rage). The us media would’ve been shouting about it and there’d be TV shows about it. Oppositional politicians would’ve been demanding impeach this and impeach that etc etc etc…
But, oh, it’s tRUMP who may have misspoke? Oh, well, he’s done much worse so let’s give him a pass, shall we? How about this…NO.
That fat, dumb, racist, rapist, orange cunt gets no pass, ever.It’s the small passes over the years that have had no consequences for him that have allowed him to move to bigger and bigger stuff to the big horrible shit that he’s doing now. And has been doing for decades.
No passes, just harsh criticism. That’s all he deserves.

Sleepy Joe was very publicly cognitively impaired for years. I don’t think “our guy is as bad as their guy” is a good point to make on this one.
I don’t remember him saying things like “Mattel is a country”. I remember him agreeing to do a debate while sick, which was stupid.
I think the difference between a very bad day and mentally impaired is a lot wider than you speculate.
That said I agree with you only because he DID step back from the race, and had he done that A LOT FUCKING EARLIER then Kamala might have been able to dodge the bus she got thrown under.
I don’t remember him saying things like “Mattel is a country”
“We beat Medicare”
You can tell this wasn’t mental illness because he didn’t immediately fire the secretary of health and human services after and replace him with RFK.
To be fair, Biden was a gaffe machine in the '80s, and he was quite intelligent then.
Oh absolutely, Im just already tired of people pretending he didn’t say stupid shit all the time, especially near the end when the dementia was obvious
He’s 100% cognitive. Problem is, he’s stupid.
Both can be true.
Maybe they successfully groomed a better younger asset & this one has done its part & now gets polonium garnish.
At least you don’t have a woman in office, huh America?
Hillary won the popular vote, so the “you’re too misogynistic to elect a woman” take does not have a basis in reality. Also, you might have noticed that AOC is filling football stadiums in red states just by being willing to speak.
Kamala lost because people got poorer for four years under Biden and she very publicly affirmed she’d change nothing about his policies. Hell, she didn’t even put a platform on her website until two weeks before the election. Kamala was a legitimately bad candidate.
She also had a lot of whispering in her ear about how to run a campaign, including from Joe Biden who still thinks he would have won. That’s also partly the reason she started stronger then diluted her platform.
This among many other reasons is why I want Kamala to leave the governorship of California well enough alone. I don’t want her coming here and applying her Republican pandering to the state.
Newsom is doing enough of that on his own.
Kamala lost because people got poorer for four years under Biden and she very publicly affirmed she’d change nothing about his policies.
Well I think the problem is people perceived others as getting poorer or worse off but the economy was humming just fine and unemployment reached record low numbers iirc.
Like, in general terms, people did not get poorer for four years under Biden - but if that’s what people think, regardless of the actual truth, that’s what they’ll act on.
Even worse, the perceived suffering was largely because inflations… caused by Trump’s Tariffs and indiscriminate covid spending (essentially supply side, handing out money to businesses big enough to handle the paperwork vs demand side)
The GOP didn’t update their platform since, like, 2015, unless you count Project 2025, which Trump claimed to know nothing about. In the 2020 election, it still referenced running against Obama.
If Hillary or Kamala had been men they would have won. If Kamala had been white I don’t think that would have been enough to get her elected.
But if Kamala had more than a hundred days to campaign, then she might have had a fair shot.
If Hillary or Kamala had been men they would have won.
Hillary won the popular vote, so arguing for misogyny in her case isn’t a reasonable argument. As for Kamala, no. She’d have lost if she had a penis too. Her campaign was a comedy of errors and she knew it. She was even caught on hot mic once expressing worry about her campaign’s ability to connect with young men. (Admittedly a tough thing to accomplish when you tell people you won’t change anything and young men are struggling economically and lack access to basic necessities in your country.)
The only way the Dems had a shot here was to hold a primary and actually select a seasoned, authentic candidate. Instead, they rigged it like they always do and just happened to pick someone extremely weak.
Or just break from the skeleton, call for an immediate end to the genocide of Palestinians, and keep calling the right-wingers weird, obsessive ghouls.
The fact that she won the popular vote but lost the election proves my point. All the places she marginally lost in would very likely have swung to marginally won if she wasn’t a woman. The hate we see rampant today was rampant then too, it just hadn’t been given a voice or a face yet.
That’s how the Republicans won that election, they realized there was just enough hate in just the right places to swing it in their favor. They just had to fan the flames.

No, it really doesn’t.

Hillary just ignoring the Rust Belt during her campaign had nothing to do with it. Totally.
The lesson here isn’t that there’s too much hate in America. It’s that the Democrats really need to stop rigging primaries for weak candidates. Their focus needs to be on the economy and the poor, not propping up people’s egos.
I never said she was a great candidate, just that if she had been the same candidate, but male, those margins would have swung her way. Yes, even given the exact same campaign and mistakes.
I never said she was a great candidate, just that if she had been the same candidate, but male, those margins would have swung her way.
No. Absolutely not. That they had to rig a primary for her to even get the nomination in the first place demonstrates that your reasoning is incorrect.
On October 18, 2016, less than a month before the Presidential election, FBI head James Comey decided to reopen the Buttery Males investigation. Male or female, that maneuver blew the campaign out of the water. If Trump learned anything from Roy Cohn, it was to win at any cost. https://youtu.be/mYMA3-ET4Ow?t=113 (I’m new, if YT links to PBS content aren’t permitted I’ll take it down)
I was with you until the end. People didn’t get poorer under Biden, the Dems just did a terrible job of promoting the fact that our economy was literally the strongest in the world, and stronger than it had been in decades.
Kamala didn’t lose for any other reason than the MAGA Nazis cheated in multiple ways, and EVERYONE knows it.
IF there is another election (I doubt it), the next Democratic candidate needs to run on six issues - Harsh punishment for HitlerPig and his henchmen, declaring MAGA a terrorist hate group and purging it from society, rebuilding the government back to its former glory, completely re-writing the tax code to favor workers and HEAVILY tax the wealthy, and Medicare 4 All.
Anyone who says that we have to run on something other than not being HitlerPig instantly loses my vote. Prosecuting and punishing HitlerPig is literally the only issue in front of us. Without that, America can never move forward. HitlerPig and MAGA must be crushed and purged mercilessly.
Prosecuting and punishing HitlerPig is literally the only issue in front of us
You’ve already seen twice that this strategy is stupid.
But sure, go for it. Again.
That was then, this is now. He got caught by surprise in 2016, and they weren’t ready. In 2024, they cheated their way in, and are now destroying the entire world. The ONLY issue in 2028 will be to end the MAGA Nazis Reign of Terror in merciless fashion.
She was a bad candidate in 2020, when she ran in the primary
She was, couldn’t even beat Tulsi Gabbard.
Mfw Mattel secedes from the union
He’s also an idiot
