I’m just waiting for the Zuckerberg Deepfakes. I’m guessing those don’t live such honored and lasting lives.
Yes, absolutely.
These would be deepfakes about Zuckerberg, or deepfakes (about someone else) he commissions someone to make?
No doubt there will be some headline-making deepfakes released as we get closer to November 2020. And I wouldn’t be at all surprised if Facebook unofficially welcomes them (if it doesn’t actively commission them)—I’m guessing Zuckerberg thinks another term for Trump is preferable to letting any Democrat get in, because a Democrat might call for regulation of Facebook.
And Trump won’t, so long as Facebook makes sure to please him with rules that promote praise of Trump and punish criticism of Trump (in all formats including video).
I dunno, but it does bring Swamp Thing to mind, and since Swamp Thing is one of the few absolutely, unquestionably good things Vertigo generated (the other ones being Sandman and Spider Jerusalem), it’s probably off message for the Trumpster.
Sad that Chump has to keep reminding everyone how smart he is. Did any other US president ever feel the need to do that?
No. I doubt any other president has had an ego as fragile as Trump’s. It makes it easy for friend and foe alike to manipulate him–all you need is flattery.
Worse than that, he has to get his paid staff to line up and reassure us he’s sane.
That sounds like one of the Warning Signs of Insanity, to tell the truth.
Considering we have this actual video of Trump, which had exactly zero negative impact on his supporters, I can’t imagine what we could fake that would hurt him.
Forgot about that one. What an evil piece of shit.
This got me Googling and one of my first hits was this blog post (so take it with whatever grain of salt):
How The Narcissist Projects His/Her Behaviour Onto You
I’ve been commenting on Trump’s psychological projection for a while now. This pretty much sums Trump up:
[my italics]
Except for child abuse, that’s spot on.
‘You don’t treat me like an equal’–Trump always whining that no other president has ever been treated so unfairly.
“No puppet. You’re the puppet.”
Trump’s doing the same thing with Pelosi: “I’m not crazy. You’re crazy.”
SAD!
Among all the other things Republicans are failing to act on, their choice to ignore this obvious 25th Amendment situation is particularly troubling. What degree of mental illness would they think worth acting on??
Voting for progressive policies?
Heh. Yeah, that would do it!
And of course the ever popular “Low IQ Joe Bidan” He’s not just sick. He’s a moron too.
We’ll see if Trump does the narcissist’s mirror thing on the topic of ‘grabbing women without their permission.’
Biden is vulnerable on that score, but Trump doesn’t really have a history of bringing up his own grabbin’ tendencies at rallies and such. He’d defend it if someone else brought it up, but he doesn’t introduce the topic himself.
There are social memes out there that I’ve seen posted by Trump supporters like photos of Biden hugging women and smelling their hair with captions about how creepy Biden is.
Yes, that’s pretty weird smelling their hair, but it’s pretty ironic Trump supporters calling Biden out on that when Trump himself has bragged about committing sexual assault.
But for some in the Trump cult, the leader, by definition, can do no wrong.
We already discovered Trump did not realize that Puerto Rico is actually part of the US, but he still fails at geography. So, Tuesday he visited the USS WASP (wonderful bit of irony, that) and wished the crew “Happy Memorial Day”. He stated reason was "It’s still Memorial Day back in the United States. I bet the residents of Guam were surprised that it was still Monday.
And what did our illustrious leader do on the actual date of Memorial Day? At least he wasn’t playing golf. He got that in on Sunday.
“Happy Memorial Day”
A friend of mine is a senior military officer and his brother shared a video clip of him talking to his troops on Memorial Day. In the clip, my friend says one of the most difficult things he has to do is present the folded-up flag at funerals to the families that have lost a loved one under his command.
Something our current commander-in-chief couldn’t possibly relate to.
Don’t you mean moran?
Being a Democrat. Duh.
