> [@Frodo](#): > > I’m also from a culture where we talk with our hands and I take issue to our being compared with Trump, we use our hands to express ourselves, Trump only plays the accordion. Yes, that’s the point. Different cultures gesticulate more or less expressively, and there’s nothing wrong with that. Trump just plays the accordion like a fucking moron and has no idea what an idiot he looks like. Of course he also has no idea what an idiot he sounds like when he talks or when he Twuths like a lunatic in the middle of the night. ---

What is that?” Ingraham replied. > > “Nobody even knows what that means. Ask her to describe exactly what that means,” Trump added. He doesn’t want pronouns?

Jeez, Trump, the old saying is correct: it is better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a jackass, than to open it, and remove all doubt. ---

Remember how Trump was talking shit about being able to get prisoners back from Russian within 24 hours? Well, as it turns out, the Biden administration knows how to get prisoners back as well: > **[Evan Gershkovich and Paul Whelan expected to be freed in Russia prisoner...](https://www.cnn.com/world/live-news/prisoner-swap-russia-us/index.html)** > > Russia is expected to release Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich and former US marine Paul Whelan as part of a massive prisoner swap, a US official says.

> [@DWMarch](#): > > Remember how Trump was talking shit about being able to get prisoners back from Russian within 24 hours? It’s pretty clear that Trump supporters only hear what they want to hear. The facts a fake. FOX also feeds them so called facts. On the other hand, perhaps Trump is correct and he has a ‘deal’ with Putin. Putin would love it if his puppet was elected again. ---
