The depths of his stupidity and the continual display of his complete lack of knowledge or curiosity about how anything works or ever could work makes me so irritated with his immovable, enabling moronic “base”.
I don’t know how people can hear him say shit like this and respect his opinion on anything
Because they themselves are idiots. Either because they hear what he says and believe it, or because they only consume the propaganda that omits this word vomit entirely.
I still don’t understand how we got here. My mom is a Botanist by education, with a graduate degree from a respected university. She lives in a small community right in the center or some of the most extreme wildfire risk in the country.
She brought up one day that if only her Governor would make sure the forests were raked up, the wildfires wouldn’t be a problem.
It’s so baffling.
Wow.
She’s not a fire fighter, so I can kind of understand her thinking that’s even remotely plausible or effective.
But as a botanist, she should absolutely know that the undergrowth needs that decaying leaf litter to support the complex ecosystem that keeps the soil fertile.
It’s got to be the latter. While I’m lucky that I don’t encounter people who worship at the altar of the orange weirdo, I’ve been wanting to ask them “have you ever listened to one of his speeches?” I don’t understand how you could listen to him and still support him, regardless of your political leaning
Yeah. Seems like listening to speeches and debates in their entirety, or a basic understanding of past actions, should be a prerequisite for anyone to hold a strong opinion for or against either side. But we know that’s not the case for the vast majority of people who hold very strong political opinions. And they’re also reliable voters.
They don’t believe “the liberal interpretation” of what he says. They “know” what he “means”.
It’s easier to understand if you have any experience around batshit evangelicals. A lot of Americans do, sadly.
Florida just got a freaking shit ton of water from the hurricane.
Why don’t they just pump it from there?
Is there a TLDR?
Good genes, very good genes.
I wonder if he’s thinking about that diversion in Chicago that connects the great lakes to the Mississippi and thinks all rivers work that way.
Im pretty sure it’s a lot more straightforward than that. There are already pipelines bringing water from the mountains down to Southern California. If there’s a lot of excess water in mountains farther north, how different can that be?

Most of Trump’s brain is a neuron firing based on a thing he saw long ago that might be related to the topic in some way. The rest of the conversation is backfill to connect those dots to whatever the main topic is.
A single neuron… Are you sure? That seems like a lot given what we’ve seen and heard from him.
To be fair, the adderall and double dose of ephedrine is doing some of the work there.
That he even has a good chance in hell of winning shows how far gone this country is.

He’s finally lost it for real this time
This time?
I feel like he used to seem crazy, but it was like a Tik Tok trend you don’t get, but with racism, and there’s an audience for it, but ever since he got on that Hannibal Lecter thing… I think NOW it’s just crazy
What about eating the cats and dogs?
I honestly can’t tell when things like this are actual quotes from him or just people making fun of him. It’s absurd that he has so much power.
It’s always an actual quote.
It’s an actual quote. The portion used here starts at about the 1:30 mark.
The part that got me was at the end he says something like “well anyways, you’ll have water and also illegal immigrants won’t kill your family”.
Great segue that. Masterful oration. That must be “the weave” that he keeps talking about. The thing where everything comes together “perfectly”. 🙄 /s
He only has power because people blindly obey him. If they treated him like they treat anyone else, he’d just be some backwards talking schmuck.
Donald ‘Dunning-Kruger’ Trump. The fact that he says such stupid, incoherent gibberish and doesn’t really hear how idiotic he sounds is embarrassing.
Ah more of the ol’ Hallucinating AI bit eh.
Has he tried siphoning American water from the ocean? It’s much closer and there’s lots of it. Could even bottle it directly at the source and slap his logo on it.
He’s a child playing pretend. Take this quote and imagine it’s from a 10 year old kid that then goes on to explain how their favorite superhero can breathe in space.
Neurosyphilis is wild
Nah, don’t give him, or his voters that credit. Motherfucker has been this dumb his whole life.
