Oh, people actually tuned in and gave him numbers? Fuck this guy and this regime, I will never recognize Donald Trump's or any of these chucklefuck's authority.

I've stopped watching him. Not that it wasn't always obvious, but him speaking at Davos to European leaders and an international audience made it super extra clear that he really has nothing else to say besides his broken record "everything is great, I stopped all the wars, everything bad is Biden's fault"

When it was live I saw it recommended on YouTube and it was only like, 100k at most on one of the streams, something like that. I assume a lot of bots.

According to a CNN flash poll conducted after the speech, 64 percent of viewers said Trump’s policies will move the country in the right direction.

This suggests that basically the only people who watched it are fascists

Noone has to tune in to give him numbers, he makes up his own and anyone that dares to say he didn't pull those numbers get's the stick

Damn I was hoping not to have to answer that part. :P

Wait till the midterms, Stand out on the corner and look at an ICE truck passing by, count to 3.

I made sure not to watch it so not to give it viewer numbers. It was on all the network channels. I went and cleaned my bathroom instead.

I didn't watch it but let me guess what he said:

  • He is the best president that ever existed
  • Everything is going great
  • But everything that doesn't is Biden's fault
  • He is a poor victim of everyone being against him
  • Threaten a few people and countries
  • Something racist and something sexist

He actually said "Donald Trump is the best president that ever existed" because he talks about himself in the third person, like an asshole

Then why is he so mean to Rocko!?

crystalmerchant@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 192d

Good lord did he really

SoloCritical@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 192d (1 reply)

I genuinely can’t tell if you’re kidding..

GutterRat42@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 192d

He has always talked about himself in the third person. Check his tweets and his Truth Social posts. Go back to recordings of his rallies. Always saying "Donald Trump" not "me" or "I".

You forgot, waste speech time on other people's victories/achievements in an attempt to make things look overall positive.

Like the rescue efforts, after you've set things in motion for disasters to even happen in the first place.

Gerudo@lemmy.zip · 9 pts · 192d (1 reply)

Don't forget using one off super specific props people to fit his narrative.

The one person who was surprised when their kidnapped family member was brought back to the states pissed me off. They could have been reunited hours or days before, what a fucking turd to use the speech as the time to do it.

He learned politics by being on a game show. It makes sense in that context. Also in the context of him being a moron.

db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 57 pts · 192d (6 replies)

He had like a dozen standing ovations from a room half full with sycophants. It was mega cringe

Diddlydee@feddit.uk · 14 pts · 192d (5 replies)

Your phone autocorrected ovations.

Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 10 pts · 192d (1 reply)

To what? Ovulations?

Diddlydee@feddit.uk · 5 pts · 192d

Locations, as I recall.

db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 5 pts · 192d

locations. not a very exciting autocorrect

@vegeta? #ConvictedFelonTrump 's behavior wrt the #Epstein files proves to me that he is GUILTY of things in them that he is terrified of becoming public! Q. E. D. Keep digging! #Politics

Wow, TIL there really is nobody watching TV anymore, huh?

TrickDacy@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 192d

I'm so shocked that he didn't mention the Epstein files!!! /s

Did anyone expect him to? I'm sure it's getting hard for even him, a cold blooded lying psychopath, to claim innocence with a straight face.

All the ferocity of overcooked linguini

While the rest of the world is reacting to the global degeneracy cabal, the usa treats it like the elephant in the room no-one wants to talk about.
