He then added, "We will, however, guard, and very powerfully so, any and all Federal Buildings that are being attacked by these highly paid Lunatics, Agitators, and Insurrectionists.

Also known as Americans who don't like seeing their neighbors kidnapped or executed in the street. And Trump is one to talk about insurrectionists.

"highly paid Lunatics, Agitators, and Insurrectionists"

Sounds like he's describing the kinds of people who joined ICE.

And support ICE, and livestream and make contact broadcasting their support, and agitate anti-ICE protesters for engagement on said livestreams.

Every accusation is a confession, don’t ever forget that.

Trump is one to talk about insurrectionists.

It takes one to know one.

Who has money to pay all those people? The only billionaires with that sort of cash to throw around in politics are firmly lodged up his own asshole.

They aren't going to use their money, they are going to use yours.

I already protest, would love to get paid for it too!

This is trying to make it sound like he wasn't in on all of this shit since the beginning. He's trying to distance himself from it. You ordered all this fuckhead.

BanMe@lemmy.world · 11 pts · 228d

He's fairly good at damage control, I mean people with a triple-digit IQ see through it, but none of those folks are in his base so

Dear Leader can't possibly have done anything wrong, it's his subordinates that are misleading him. Don't worry comrade, he will get to the bottom of this and purge those who bring him shame.

His brain is cooked...

He flipflops between state/local governments being responsible for federal.property to the feds being responsible like half a dozen times just in the quotes.

Triton420@mander.xyz · 33 pts · 228d (1 reply)

I give it 36 hours before he contradicts himself and orders more cities invaded

givesomefucks@lemmy.world · 28 pts · 228d

Not only does he have dementia, no one is giving him accurate information to start with.

If Faux News says there's rioting in Seattle, trump just takes that as reality.

It doesn't matter what happens, just what trump sees on Faux News. There's always talk about other dictators influencing trump, but it's just whoever he hears last and he watches Faux daily, so it's almost always the last thing he heard.

All cities are Dem cities.

Almost all big Cities are blue.

The only ones not are those that have been Gerrymandered to hell

phutatorius@lemmy.zip · 3 pts · 226d

There are one or two cities in the US that are not Dem-controlled.

He's got a new and shiny distraction from the Epstein files in the form of an invasion of Iran. He can let the hype start to fade on the deportation crisis now.

pjwestin@lemmy.world · 21 pts · 228d

"Please be aware that I have instructed ICE and/or Border Patrol to be very forceful in this protection of Federal Government Property."

Well, they just gassed a bunch of peaceful protesters in Portland, including children, so I guess that part is true.

He's afraid of the midterms. As soon as he won them they'll be marching back twice as repressive.

I dunno. Ppl are pretty stupid

We think that but let's see how far right the dems go to cause more voter apathy.

Did he tell Miller first? That's the chain of command after all.

JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 228d

Did you misspell 'putin'?

Because he already forgot.

You have to read the article because the headline is dishonest. He didn't tell her to leave them alone, he told her not to get involved in responding to protests.

leave Dem cities alone 'unless they ask'

Remember that Trump always refers to himself as "we". So he's not talking about he democratic cities asking here...

givesomefucks@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 228d (1 reply)

"We" and "they" are two different words tho...

Like, they're opposites even...

SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 228d

You think that dense tub of custard knows what "antonym" means?

adespoton@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 228d

Like on Epstein’s island, I expect a heavy dose of “well, they were asking for it….”

JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 228d

Diffusion of accountability. When something goes his way, its invariably 'I".

phutatorius@lemmy.zip · 1 pts · 226d

He probably just believes those voices in his head are separate people, or maybe he doesn't know how to count.

Well this is throwing her under the bus creation factory.

Bullshit.

Ask for consent just like all the times Ol' Lumpy Trumpie sexual assaulted women.

I'm sure he thinks all of Jeffrey's girls "asked" for it, too.
