I wish he had gone blind while staring at the eclipse.

I wish he would just fucking die. Every day I hope the same, and every day, he finds a way to shit on the entire global popular. Can't the rest of the world just do a little special operation, like they did in Venezuela?

I hope he becomes painfully and irreversibly incapacitated but it's fully aware of his situation (massive stroke or similar). That way he has to suffer for a long time but doesn't get the martyrdom he seems to be vying for

Lets say he did die. Then what?
Different pointless clown will take his place.
Sure, he might be the ugly face of the government and people, but the government will still be there. Along with the people that voted him and said government.
I would say he's more of a symptom than a cause.

He might have, but he also has access to the top medical facilities who could cure him as far as we know.

One unusual piece of Trump-lore is that he has really bad vision but hates the way that he looks in glasses. Maybe he wears contacts in public, or maybe he isn't able to do so for some reason. But occasionally photographers get a shot of him wearing glasses.

He was also seen wearing glasses when reading a briefing during his hospitalization during COVID.

I doubt he could handle contacts.
He usually avoids wearing his reading glasses in public, and during speeches he uses a teleprompter or TV with really big text:

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/meet-the-press/trump-s-teleprompter-temperament-isn-t-message-what-comes-next-n1039551
But once in a long while he does actually wear his glasses in public, like when he has to read something not printed in big text: https://metro.co.uk/2025/06/30/donald-trump-caught-wearing-reading-glasses-rare-moment-23546519/
Probably because it makes him look older. And he's 80.

Mostly profit driven increases.
The_v@lemmy.world · 15 pts · 45d
Profit driven increases from unregulated market consolidation combined with interruptions in the supply chain due to disruptions in trade networks by the orange moron and pals dumbfukery.
Assholes are getting richer by starving kids.

Good thing my boss gave me a 3% cost of living adjustment.

People who voted for Trump for the 2nd time are lunatics

So it's not just my family. Our grocery bills have doubled over the last 5 years.

It's the same in Canada and has gotten completely out of control... I always knew climate change would drive food scarcity and higher prices on crops that cant withstand inclement weather but the greedflation tacked on has been a nasty surprise. Portions get smaller and smaller, prices climb. Inflation never ends yet profit goes up every year.

Trump's trying to beat all his Covid records.

Have you said 'Thank you!' once?

Of course this is the Murdoch's NY Post, and "no relief" emphasized within days of mamdani action against. Such a broken reality we live in.

I am sure the Pedo and chief is going to get right on that.

Battle? What fucking battle are you on about? You think we get to fight back by not eating or something?
