trump deleted a post? on his own platform?

ok, that is news

turtlesareneat@piefed.ca · 115 pts · 134d (10 replies)

We saw what he'll do during the Obama ape post. Blame a few staffers, not by name. Then say he's not sorry and move on. I doubt the upset Christians will remember this or care in a week, two weeks.

homes@piefed.world · 23 pts · 134d (6 replies)

oh, I forgot about that-- it was a long time ago. edit: sorry, the past few months have felt like a decade!

still:

  • that was twitter (not even X yet), not his own platform
  • he was much more adroit then. he's much more old grandpa crazy now
    • he won't say he's sorry, he'll double-down, if he acknowledges it at all
      • if he goes the double-down route, which is possible because I don't think this Pope-fight bullshit is going away (yay!), who knows what downhill direction the diarrhea will run
  • this Pope-fight isn't just affecting Trump, now his "Christian" base is getting involved, and not on Trump's side

so, this is gonna be fun to watch

edit: 15:37 ET (UTC -05:00)

ok, so, it has been fun to watch! His response...

Trump gets McDonalds DoorDashed to White House and then takes Iran war questions with delivery person

so, he admits to posting it because he claims he thought he "looked like a doctor healing people" which either makes him seem to be the biggest liar ever or the most completely bonkers person ever, and, really, it's not an either/or situation anymore but a matter of "which is more the case" at this point.

more to come...

Yup. They believe what they want to hear. A few repeats of the "fake news! doctored images! liberal media persecution!" mantra from their lord and savior, and their outage will be redirected onto 'the left', and any internal conflicts they have will fade into numbness and blind adulation.

2piradians@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 134d

This is all the better because we know he's seen it. And this is exactly the type of trolling he loves to dish out so much being thrown back in his face.

So not only could he have lost supporters over the slop, the reply slop is superior. It ridicules him with Epstein while highlighting what a farce his inner circle is.

He's probably simmering on it every time he stops focusing on further bungling things with Iran. I hope it's a contributing factor to some stress-induced condition that hurts like hell.

  1. Even the first time in office he'd rip stuff up, try and flush it down toilets, and even eat it. 2) There's a lot of stuff his administration shouldn't be able to do, so long as Rs are majority and Dems lack a spine it doesn't matter.
santa@sh.itjust.works · 6 pts · 134d

Sure. I’m aware of that, as well. It could also be investigated, possibly, if he is ever out of office and we don’t “move forward”.

So much damage has been done and it will take generations to fix, secure and codify if we don’t want a repeat. If it isn’t fixed, it seems the next attempt would be more successful for GQP.

Calling him out for this bullshit. His other bullshit they're still OK with.

W3dd1e@lemmy.zip · 6 pts · 133d

Mostly yes but there were a few comments like “ugh why did he do something stupid again” so mostly you’re right, but there are cracks. And in the last 10 years, it’s the second time we’ve seen any cracks. (Epstein files was the 1st thing they started calling him out on)

When those cracks start to form, I’m coming through with my seeds of empathy and compassion so they can learn to stop beng dickheads. I’m gonna grow empathy trees in those cracks that destroy the foundation.

And to all MAGA Christians upset by his post: Give me a fucking break.

It wasn't the child rape and murder but the picture of your fairy tale that was over the line? Yeah right. He's been blasphemous since day one, and supporting him was a conscious choice by Christians. They can serve only God or Trump, and they chose Trump.

It doesn't matter what he deletes, it doesn't matter what they think about him now - they are blasphemers by their own religion.

CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 11 pts · 134d (3 replies)

The problem with shit like this is that all those Christians are absolutely going to vote Republican in November.

They would absolutely re-elect him if he ran again.

They would 100% believe him if he told them that he learned his lesson.

Hakuso@scribe.disroot.org · 3 pts · 134d (1 reply)

I don't think they believe him so much as they believe the propaganda about any competition to him.

It's been "Elect this shitty person because they are not that shittier person!" on both sides my whole life, and without ranked choice voting being national people will always pick the one their echo chamber calls a savior from the "other" they've been filled with fear over ignoring any decent option.

CultLeader4Hire@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 133d (1 reply)

Narcissism often comes with an aspect of omnipotence, this idea that they must know all there is to know because the idea that something might be outside their sphere of knowledge would make them imperfect and since they believe they are perfect beyond reproach it would be impossible for it to be true. They really do believe they know everything and if you say otherwise it’s because you’re stupid and wrong.

All narcissists believe they are a deity in the sense their world view is what they believe to be omnipotent which is a trait only a deity could have.
