How about where they say, no, no, we have a strong border with. They don’t. So bad.

But then we find out that they flew almost a million people in over the border! They flew! That stops all of them.

I shouldn’t say this, because if there’s a debate, it would be nice to surprise her with that one. They flew– they’ll have– they have an answer to everything. Well. We decided.

He's been showing signs of it since at least 2016.

[–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 24 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I read this to my partner to see if she could make sense of it. She believes this might be concerning migratory birds and or bats.

After reviewing Trump's attempt to stop migratory animals by a building a wall, I'm unsure if she is mistaken.

Maybe he has been yelling at clouds so long, hes concerned with the geese.

Upon further study, it appears this may be why he rants about California and Texas

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

Those Mexican animals need to stay down in Mexico and stop freeloading on all of our grass and bugs.

[–] Nuke_the_whales@lemmy.world 10 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Trump has finally discovered our secret. Us Latinos have wings.

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Not to go off topic and it awesome to learn you have wings, but why do you want to nuke the whales?

100% he's going to chicken out. They know perfectly well he's going to be destroyed if he goes up against Kamala.

[–] zcd@lemmy.ca 44 points 3 weeks ago (4 children)

I'm starting to suspect he is going to chicken out from the whole election

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 34 points 3 weeks ago (4 children)

He's sure getting lazy about campaigning. Vance is working harder than he is.

[–] WHYAREWEALLCAPS@fedia.io 41 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

It's his dementia. He's getting almost as bad as Reagan was when Nancy was basically guiding him, except he won't let anyone guide him so he goes off the rails constantly. A narcissist with dementia is pretty much uncontrollable.

[–] Glytch@lemmy.world 12 points 3 weeks ago

Melania wouldn't want to guide him like Nancy did for Ronnie anyway. The Reagans were terrible people, but their marriage wasn't loveless like the Trumps'.

[–] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

*Nancy's psychic

[–] thesohoriots@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

Only a matter of time before the secret service keeps dropping leaves in the pool when he’s not looking.

[–] KingJalopy@lemm.ee 13 points 3 weeks ago

I mean, have you seen some of the couches in the white house?? Who can blame him...

[–] CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 3 weeks ago

You know what would drive Trump nuts? If Vance's favorables started to climb higher than Trump's.

“How long have I been working harder than Trump? …Okay, good. I deserve some donuts— just whatever makes sense…”

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

He's on Ozempic. He didn't want the donuts because it makes you much less interested in food. That was part of the reason he sounded so disinterested in being there.

[–] DogPeePoo@lemm.ee 14 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

It was so weird.

Ordering donuts with the phrase, “just whatever makes sense…”. What a silicon valley douchebag.

[–] athairmor@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

That’s some executive dysfunction right there. Not what you think any to see in an executive officer.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 20 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Nah, he's staying for personal reasons like staying out of jail. And that's a good thing because he's sinking the GQP ship. Oh, the sweet, sweet retribution.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 11 points 3 weeks ago

He's really lost steam though. Maybe he'll regain it, but the winds are out of his sails. As he used to say of Jeb Bush, low energy.

[–] cabron_offsets@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

Doubt. He’d die in prison.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

If he doesn't think he can get close enough to try to steal it after losing, then he won't play. He'll claim some BS about the Jews and the deep state, and drop out. I wish I could say he might be in prison by then, but we all know that he's never going to face any consequences for his thousands of felonies.

[–] todd_bonzalez@lemm.ee 13 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

She asked for them never to cut his mic at the debate, lol. She's preparing to make a fool out of him, and he's preparing to be a fool.

[–] CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 3 weeks ago

One does not "prepare" to be a fool.

He just....is.

[–] HubertManne@moist.catsweat.com 35 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

cracks me up she wants live mics now. they want him to be able to talk as much as he wants.

[–] GratefullyGodless@lemmy.world 30 points 3 weeks ago

She wants to make sure everyone hears all his racist statements, because you know he won't be able to stop himself.

[–] CarbonatedPastaSauce@lemmy.world 28 points 3 weeks ago

Maybe the D in his 4D Chess strategy stands for Derp.

[–] LEDZeppelin@lemmy.world 25 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

He didn’t even have balls to show up for repube primary debates. What makes you think he will show up for upcoming debate against Kamala?

[–] OneWomanCreamTeam@sh.itjust.works 13 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I think he's afraid that backing out now would make him look weak (it would). But his ego is too big for him to accept that she's going to wipe the floor with him.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

He is weak. He's the most fragile politician in the history of the United States.

[–] OneWomanCreamTeam@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Oh for sure. But his entire political strategy (if you can even call it a strategy anymore) is to appear strong.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

He fails so miserably at that too. I seriously cannot understand how any person could watch his actions, or listen to him talk, and think he's a strong man. He's weak AF, physically, mentally, and emotionally.

Yeah I don't get it. He never really impressed me much. It baffles me how many people he seems to work on though.

[–] phdepressed@sh.itjust.works 9 points 3 weeks ago

Avoiding the primary debates and the media rewarded him with "interviews" during the same timeslot that were advertised much more. The continued media forefronting of the shitstain is probably the prime reason he still polls as well as he does. They always edit until his word salad at least sounds like real sentences. From there rage and/or bigotry drive the rest.

[–] NABDad@lemmy.world 17 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Confirming for the record that Trump hates immigrants.

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 9 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Mr Trump hates *non-white" immigrants. Me and my kind are welcome to come down from canuduh and take yer jerbs.

[–] Tja@programming.dev 2 points 3 weeks ago

points at Norway on the map

You have to be this white to be a not-shithole.

[–] hopesdead@startrek.website 11 points 3 weeks ago

Man proves he doesn’t understand the meaning of words.

[–] PapaStevesy@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

And the talking point is a load of horse hockey, surprise surprise.

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

What does polo have to do with this?

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 4 points 3 weeks ago

A lot of his followers don't believe in medical science, so they play the polo game.
