Trump Responds to Today's Protest

[butterfly]

Lol, hilarious and as usual the left is whining like a baby......

We're not whining. We're observing every time Trump shows how he is disintegrating.

 

[JoeB131]

NO prior President of the United States has EVER acted in the manner Trump does on social media.

He’s not fit for the office he holds.

But he's been elected to it twice.

I am reminded of this great bit of dialogue from the BBC dramatization of I, Claudius.

Claudius: "Caligula is sick to his head, he'll die soon."

Antonnia: "No. Rome is sick to her heart, Caligula is just the rash it's broken out into."

 

[Lursa]

Its difficult to believe that the MSM doesn't find it noteworthy that President of the United States issued a cartoon of himself shitting on his fellow Americans.

We are all sinking.

I think it's great. Do you think he'll ever wake up to the fact that it will be part of his legacy...probably a classic for history and "what not to do"... forever?

He started low brow in 2016 with grabbing ******s and they've followed him faithfully all this way...there is no bottom to MAGA or TACO. And TACO is proud of it. (So then, so are MAGA. See: Post 15 and his following posts)

MAGA hates whining!

There's "Churchillian" and there's "Kennedyeque," and then there's this.

Funny thing is, I doubt he can even drive a car.

That was awesome.

Trump flood the zone with sh*t strategy have reached the level there he literally spread sh*t.

That Trump and federal agencies have as part of that strategy done all the can to provoke protesters into violence. So that a constant stream of videos of riots would be yet a distraction from Epstein, Trump policy failures and that Trump enrich the oligarchs at the expense of his own voters. Instead did millions of people show up for peaceful protests. So Trump had to resort to extremely childish memes.

That why you have progressive that now adress the growing inequality and the lack of opportunities for working and middle class families. While also the concentration of wealth and power to the oligarchs.

Inequality has risen from 1970 to Trump − that has 3 hidden costs that undermine democracy

The Republican tax bill is set to worsen inequality, government data shows. It’s part of a 50-year trend that’s affecting the social fabric as well as the economy.

Actually, if you talk to those middle class families, what they are sick of are high taxes and supporting people on welfare.

Now, yes, most of them don't get that the vast majority of government entitlements go to the middle class (Social Security, Medicare, etc.)

I had a truly distressing weekend dealing with relatives at family events. (I can normally barely stand one of these, but then I had to deal with two of them in a row). It's not so much they love Trump in that they hate Democrats.

Apologies... What you say with irony, your average MAGAt says with pride.

The question if the problem is high taxes? Or increased inequality and families in the US for example lack universal healthcare and other social services that people in other countries take for granted. There Trump now wants to make health care even more expensive for working and middle class families to fund even more tax cuts for the rich.

The cost of health insurance could double for millions of people, which could hurt Republicans.

Also a big reason for the division is the massive amounts of propaganda. Like for example how right wing lies led a majority of Republican voters to question Obama's birth certificate and believe that the 2020 election was stolen.

Poll: Persistent Partisan Divide Over ‘Birther’ Question

Seventy-two percent of registered Republican voters still doubt President Obama’s citizenship, according to a recent NBC News|SurveyMonkey poll.

I would pay good money to watch Donald Trump try to fly a military aircraft.

The cost of the aircraft would be a small price to pay.

How the Trump Cabinet came up with the video.

 

[Checkerboard Strangler]

Most of you online peeps already heard about or SAW the meme from the White House that features #Trump dumping a thousand pounds of fecal matter from a fighter jet while wearing a crown, yes?

Take note: Not a single mainstream news outlet has said ONE WORD about it.
No, it's not a major news story that has the capacity to alter the course of history, but it's newsworthy because it is "the madness of King Lear" written in real time and it represents not only Donald's descent into batshit cray cray, it also illustrates how far gone his closest advisers are.

It is impossible to trust ANY of the major news outlets now, not if they appear to be outdoing North Korea in trying to protect the insane despot in the White House.
A nine year old gangbanger high on crack would have better judgment than to release an AI video of the ruler of the free world taking a shit on his own people.

It is now obvious that USA is being run by EIGHT YEAR OLD GANGBANGERS ON CRACK, and it's equally obvious that our news media is being controlled by those same eight year olds.

Yes, he does. It doesn't take away from my point that most of the white middle class doesn't like paying for someone else's rent and health care while working 60 hours a week to pay for their own.

This is why the Democrats are failing. They stopped caring about the working class, who are making the country work. Trump might be appealing to their worst instincts (and he is), but at least he hears them.

I would personally have no problem with single payer health care, but try selling that to some average American who is already paying 30% of his income in taxes.

I think you are being a bit dramatic here.

Trump didn't create that meme. Some nerd living in his mother's basement did, and Trump just reposted it. It was in incredibly poor taste, and the POTUS should show more dignity than that.

Trump is being Trump. America knew what he was when it elected him.

Other countries have for example 40 hour or less work weeks, less inequality, strong unions, good working conditions, five weeks vacation, universal health care, free universities, paid parental leave and more affordable housing. While also cheaper transport.

The High Cost of Transportation in the United States

What does the average American pay to get around every day in 2024? What portion of their income is devoted to transportation? Is that cost typical across developed countries? Unfortunately, the portion of household expenditure spent on transportation in the United States is often a larger...

So the problem might be instead concentration of wealth and power to the economic elite. With for example massive tax cuts for the rich.

Do the rich pay their fair share?

Billionaire wealth and corporate profits have surged. New Trump administration proposals will affect both. Are they paying their fair share?

Some media companies didn't show it because it was to disturbing, even if Stephen was allow to show it. That it's really concerning that the USA have a president that post videos that are so disturbing that the media don't want to show the video. Especially considering how spineless other Republican politicians are. For example how Mike johnson call it just satire while at the same time he call peaceful demonstrations hatefests.



Also that the Senate Republicans have allowed Trump to fill his Cabinet with sycophants.

I think your post is overly deceptive.
Did I even HINT that Trump himself created this? He barely knows how to use his smartphone.
It doesn't matter if he made it with his own two tiny little hands or if Stephen Miller's Aunt Effie grew it fresh from her cabbage patch, or if it was made by a nine year old gangbanger on crack.
Clearly the White House Press Office is staffed with EIGHT year old gangbangers on crack.
We both said the same thing only you're still making excuses for him.
It's disgusting, and it's a further sign of "the madness of King Lear" on full display to the world.

And suddenly our press is having an attack of conscience?
Uh uhhhh.

Okay. That's nice. America isn't other countries.

Should we have those things? Sure. Will we get them? Probably not.

Most Americans don't want to pay European Tax rates to have those things.

I guess with all the other stuff Trump is doing, a tasteless meme is just not that high up there for me.

The fact he might send an ICE agent to arrest people I care about... that's up there for me

The fact he's probably going to wreck the economy, that's upthere for me.

That he posted a tasteless meme, which brought him a fair share of mockery (Insert your own diaper joke here), yes, this is where we are at now. Dumb memes have replaced thoughtful discourse.
