I had to check to see if he was related to Ruben Verastigui, the former Trump aide and RNC/Turning Point staffer currently serving 12.5 years in prison for trafficking in videos of violent baby rape. Haven’t found a connection between the two beyond the similar names thus far. Well, and the association with Trump, of course. And films about child sex. ---

To be fair (which I am when I can’t see an alternative), he never said best _for the country_. ---

This guy is _still_ claiming that babies are being killed after they’re born. And his crowd doesn’t blink an eye. They just let the crazy old man sullenly ramble on, regurgitating his old routine from the 2020 election. ---

He’s trying to set up a base for what country he will run to. China, NK, or Russia. Does Slovenia have an extradition treaty? ---

Trump says that Xi rules 1 point 4 billion people with an iron fist. Which is true. Rules. With an Iron Fist. And Trump admires this guy. He also admires Kim Jong Un. But shit I’m just preaching to the choir here. Being ruled by a toddler is not what the USA is about. ---

He has always said nicer things about murderous tyrants than he has about democratically-elected leaders of US allies. I think it’s a perverse form of envy. ---

He’s also a master at tapping into how his base feels. His base likes the feeling that he will treat lefties and weirdos and darkies with an iron fist. His base likes the feeling of all them Chinese being treated with an iron fist. He would not express admiration for an iron fisted dictator oppressing Canadians or English generally because that would feel too much like nice white normal Christian folks having their freedom infringed. He would express admiration for a leader of England or Canada treating non-white people, gays etc with an iron fist. ---

I wonder how close Mango Manchurian is to the 18 can limit? “Aspartame has been in the news a lot lately because the World Health Organization has deemed it [as “possibly carcinogenic to humans,”](https://thetakeout.com/diet-coke-aspartame-possibly-carcinogenic-world-health-1850593400) a designation that has caused a minor uproar among people who consume it on a regular basis. There’s not too much to worry about, since the level of **Diet Coke consumption that might be linked to health risks is highly unusual (about 18 cans per day**).” bolding mine. ---

That’s for a person weighing ~150 lbs. Unfortunately, he’s of such epic proportions, a mere 18 cans would not do much ---

The sugar in hamburger buns is worse for him. Aspartame still falls into the “might be bad for you” category but sugar is actually deadly in high enough amounts and I’d bet Trump consumes a lot of it without even knowing it. Is Trump a person who is known for consuming complex carbs, leafy greens and things from the legume category? I’d be surprised if he knows what any of those things are. His blood probably has the consistency of maple syrup and twice the added sugar. ---
