Is Trump confused?

Should be, perhaps, but he read it as “can.”

That explains his immediate aside, in fact. He realizes that he misread “can’t”, so he ad libs “they can’t teach” to correct himself.

Ah, okay, that makes sense.

ETA: I’d hate to be the person running the teleprompter and trying to synchronize with his ad libs and babblings.

Damn, I thought he was talking about the SALT- Strategic Arms Limitation Talks. I mean, he is that out of it. :crazy_face:

Yep.

Actually, no, it isn’t, at least not yet. Nippon Steel is attempting to buy it, but it has not yet received regulatory approval to do so, and the Biden administration has, to date, been opposing the purchase.

As opposed to the intro to Green Acres with Don and Megan.

You jest, but at this point it wouldn’t surprise me.

Maybe it’s the one Mark Robinson used to work for in the old days.

The truly funny thing is that that the trump 2019 “tax cut” bill that was mostly tax redistribution onto the backs of the professional class. Joe Sixpack got $500 off, Joe Super-Fatcat saved millions, and Dr., Lawyer, & medium biz owner Joe got a tax increase.

The elimination of the SALT deduction was specifically designed to hurt the people of CA, NY, MA, NJ and a few other relatively high tax states whose people just happen coincidentally to always reliably vote D, not R for prez.

So trump is now blathering about offering a tax gift to the people of those high tax states. Wherein he has exactly zero chance of swinging them into the red column.

That’s some serious 4D chess.

Isn’t that where they shot a Nude Africa porn video? The one where the pizza delivery guy asks the girls working there “Who ordered the sausage and where does it go?”

I replied to Mark Robinson’s message board comment that I find this plotline pretty stale and overused. You’d think that in a scene set in a Rebublican-owned pizza parlor, they could have ordered the mushroom.

SALT = State and Local Tax

From here:

There’s speculation that his motive is to benefit the GOP candidates in some New York congressional contests, to try to keep the GOP majority in the House.

I ‘memed’ this (removing usernames and avatars) and shared the image on FB. My Trump Cultist friend replied, ‘John supports pedophiles.’ (I replied, ‘Every accusation by you is a confession.’) :rofl:

Moderating:

Let’s drop the pizza parlor goofing. It’s got nothing to do with this thread. You’re in P&E, not the Pit.

“Grift Acres!” In the pilot, Don & Melania, bankrupted by their court cases, use their last million to buy a Four Seasons Landscaping franchise, but can’t afford to stock John Deere tractors because they cost too much. Hilarity ensues, etc.

{Couldn’t resist the hijack, but maybe if others are interested in continuing it could be spun off like the “Zelenskyy’s Zeros” thread.)

“We can’t have factories being built where you have criminals walking down the street with the worst weapons that you’ve ever seen, with machine guns and everything else.” (Watch out NRA, Trump wants to take your guns!)

“The mayor is actually looking for interpreters… because they can’t understand. The language is totally different. What the hell. I’m sorry. You have to move the people back to the country from which they came. You have to” (I guess French is one of thoze “languages nobody has ever heard of”)

“They say “He fell into a trap.” If they say bad about me, I’ve got to refute it. I do it quickly, but I refute it. Why would I let her say something bad about me and let it stand out there? If I don’t refute it, people are going to think it’s true” (more whining about the debate that “everyone says I won”)

“Charlottestown”

“We gave you before the greatest, the biggest tax hikes in the history of our country”

“In California with Governor Newscum you have blackouts and brownouts. How about him? He wants all electric cars but he can’t give you air-conditioning in the summer, right? Let’s go all electric, that we have a blackout every ten seconds” (I guess he forgot that he “loves electric” now that “Leon” endorsed him)

Other than a few where PGE cut off the power due to high winds and fire danger*, we havent had any around here in a long time. Texas, on the other hand…

*which is kinda bogus as PG&E should have had the lines underground by now, but that is a different issue.

My bolding. I have no doubt that this is true. If you were to ask these people why they believe that it would be good to have a President who can be understood by only a fraction of the population, they would stare at you blankly. That would be something that has never occurred to them.

In addition to the ‘we love that we’re the only ones who understand him’ aspect of their fandom, of course, there’s ALSO the all-important ‘he’s going to hurt the people we want him to hurt’ aspect. In other words, if he weren’t providing them with the white-supremacism they crave, they would be less forgiving of his cognitive issues—less likely to find a way to turn them into a positive (namely, of ‘in-group membership’).

Some Mondy night rambling:

Kinda surprised Katey Tur didn’t understand the air conditioning reference–I recognized it immediately.

That’s not it. Trump thinks that “early voting” means they’re keeping a bunch of boxes full of votes unsupervised in a warehouse somewhere, and “they” are going to go in on the pretense of being repairmen so “they” can add millions and millions of fake ballots from Jyna on levels that nobody’s ever seen before.

I guarantee you Trump has never heard of the incident you linked to, or has forgotten about it if he ever did, and if you asked him about it he would say “some people who like me very much were concerned about the election”.

I don’t know it is pretty coincidental that he used the same occupation. My guess is that somewhere in the MAGAsphere, there are people saying that Mark Aguirre got it right and AC repair guy he assaulted was depositing ballots in the way you described in your post. But that he either he got rid of the goods, before he was stopped or else cops who responded were part of the deep state covered it up.
