Oh a day where most presidents honor MLK Jr, this demented fool does this

Imagine that piece of writing would’ve been submitted as a school assignment.

If I would’ve written that for a creative writing assignment in high school, I would’ve failed that assignment.

Trump writes like a baby. I can’t believe he graduated high school.

I don’t mean to be ageist, but he’s old enough to have gone through multiple brain development cycles large enough to spontaneous cure schizophrenia. He’s always written like an insecure teenager, but the degeneration is incredibly visible. And sad, and scary. People chose this decrepit, vain, doofus

I totally see the insecure teenager thing.

Just to make sure I understand you, what do you mean by the "multiple brain development cycles large enough to spontaneous cure schizophrenia"?

In any case, the man is old and it seems like he's losing his cognitive abilities.

Gullible@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 219d

Some forms of schizophrenia, you can simply age out of. In the rapid changes from 0-25, you can naturally knock the processing pegs back into place. The same can happen over the next 50 years+. I’m just calling him old. Unpresidentially old

Thought I replied earlier but I came back to find my reply nowhere. Weird

What?

Trump has always been an idiot. Is old business teacher one said he was the most useless kid he'd ever had. Think about that, an MBA teacher reckons he's stupid, that's a bar that's so low that it's subterranean and he failed to even pass that. Been old and demented isn't an excuse, he's always been an utter failure of a human.

He’s gone fairly senile at this point. Say what you like about him, but he has been cognitively absent during many of his recent appearances. Compare his off the cuff remarks and you’ll quickly notice that his ramblings have fundamentally changed

I have a feeling he paid other students to do his homework - or promised to pay them and then "forgot"

It's the totally incongruous "Thank you!" that really sells it. Wow. We're living history, folks. I knew the American empire was collapsing, but I didn't think it was going to be quite this stupid. Yet, maybe it had to be.

NEXT!

Have you not seen the average American in the past 50 years? The decline was always going to be as stupid as possible.

As jaded as I am, I've always been an optimist at heart. Turns out my belief in humanity remains misplaced.

Keeping a few smart friends is a good way to keep your head above water. The issue is looking outside of that circle and realizing that more than half of the country would have trouble ordering something from cheesecake factory (and their infamously long menu).

It's not even the same typeface or size.

This reminds me of the stuff my wife was submitting while she was representing herself in the divorce.

I hate that I thought this was satire until I came to the comments. Jesus. I hope they laughed at it and promptly threw it out

Pivoting from wanting the Nobel Peace Price to threatening a war is wild.

Aaahh, the awesome effects of having an unmedicated mentally ill person with Alzheimer's as a president

Just a little rant:

America: you had years to stop this, and you didn't. You could stop buk by voting and you didn't. Know that, whatever happens, this is on you and I'm sure other countries will suffer, but your days as a super power are over. Your days of being respected even though you were a right dick to everyone, are over. Your days of pretending that you're "number one baby!!!" are over.

No country will ever trust you again

Your allies will bellnever trust you again

Being American is something you will no longer say to people, but whisper in shame followed by an apology

Your economy is bursting at thee seams and even without the superassive AI bubble you'd be fucked as you are so far up your ass in debt that no Saturn rocket will be able to lift you out of it. You might try Elmo's starship but that one cannot carry cargo and only can blow up so no help there either...

You've made an enemy out of everyone. You've let this Putin controlled dog loose on the country and you let that dog destroy your country and you let it destroy world peace.

Do you honestly believe that anyone will ever again think that the US is a positive force for good in this world?

Trump is dying, I can only hope it'll be soon, and once he's gone it'll be the garden gnomes like pence and Miller that will fight over control. Do you think anyone would follow those anal worms? Once the Cheetos is dead, this entire charade will fall apart, and it'll either go to new elections or civil war.

God, the US is fucked

sin_free_for_00_days@sopuli.xyz · 3 pts · 219d

Yep. As an American, you captured the way I feel about my country. We are going to be an isolated, backwards, ugly country for decades. And it's not just on trump, but Republicans going back 50 years.

Hypnotoad_@sh.itjust.works · -1 pts · 219d

Are you talking to the country like we are one person? There's more than a single feeling here you know. Most of us living here hate this shit and are doing what we can, but the system is rigged as FUCK. Most of us don't want this insanity and are willing to fight against it.

You think every German was proud of Hitler, every Italian was proud of Mussolini? We are not a neolith, we are more than a single meme. You speak as if you know things we don't. We know this is fucked, we know this is shameful.

It's one thing to support a system, it's another to be under the thumb of said system. The same system that has been specifically built for decades to keep people under it's thumb.

Shitting on us doesn't help anything. You're not saying anything new or novel, you're the fucking 5 oclock news here pretending to be insightful

Thanks Doctor dickhead, we know we are fucked, appreciate the help here

Go take a look at the letters sent to psychopath despots he calls friends. All "his excellency" and dripping with lust. Here we get an impolite first name use on a country's leader followed by what appears to be rude English but makes no sense at all in any language but the criminally insane.

Hilariously there is an agreement by the US that Greenland is Danish.

In proceeding this day to the signature of the Convention respecting the cession of the Danish West-Indian Islands to the United States of America, the undersigned Secretary of State of the United States of America, duly authorized by his Government, has the honor to declare that the Government of the United States of America will not object to the Danish Government extending their political and economic interests to the whole of Greenland.

I feel like most of the emergency sessions are just everyone going "what the absolute fuck is going on".

Even Gandhi would sanction the assassination of this moron.
