Fantastic. It’s funny how he looks a bit lost and out of it and maybe too old for reading from a teleprompter, and it turns out he’s just saying “what the actual fuck did these assholes do?” in his head while he tries to figure out what happened to his speech. ---

Agreed, it’s amazing how context completely changes the way something looks. ---

I find this one _really_ hard to believe (OK, maybe “depressed” that his coup attempt failed, but the other part… no, not seeing it… 🙄 ). > ---

> [@Steve\_MB](#): > > I find this one _really_ hard to believe I don’t. It’s exactly what an angry toddler does; refuse to eat dinner until they get what they want. Is it a real hunger strike where they will waste away? No, of course not, it’s a tantrum and only lasts until they’re **really** hungry. But I could totally see Trump stubbornly refusing to eat for a while, and if you’re used to seeing the guy toss back Big Macs and fried chicken by the bagful on a regular basis you might be concerned by the sudden change. ---

Trump is over on his personal soapbox called Truth Social trying to explain that he really meant to call Obama the current president many times because of reasons! He totally meant to do that.

Chris Christie, of all people, mentioned something that I admit I hadn’t thought about. If Trump is convicted on any of these felony charges, he will be unable to cast a vote for himself. Which made me think of something: if Trump is remanded to house arrest, will he be allowed to vote? And, ironically, I assume it would have to be voting by mail. Which he absolutely loathes. ---

> [@Superdude](#): > > Which made me think of something: if Trump is remanded to house arrest, will he be allowed to vote? And, ironically, I assume it would have to be voting by mail. Which he absolutely loathes. Not in Florida, at least until the sentence is completed He doesn’t loathe voting by mail. At least if it’s for him - that was one of the ‘brilliant’ things they did last time. They wanted/encouraged seniors with mobility issues to vote by mail if they couldn’t get out of the house but that flew directly into their campaign against voting by mail. It’s almost like they don’t really think things through or something ---

No, he doesn’t. During the 2020 campaign, I received mailers from the shitstain himself imploring me to vote by absentee. Apparently it was my patriotic duty? There was a pic of him pointing at me. ---

Let me amend that: He’d be unable to vote except by mail, which he has maligned quite a bit since he lost the election. ---
