Should go back to being called freedom-fryer, as this is what it actually does.
He believes he does: an actual war is the one he chickens out of, a trade war is something he thinks he can win.
The important thing is that he had an onion on his belt, which was the style at the time.
I imagine he’s talking about this.
To sum up, France charges 3% Digital Services Tax on companies doing internet business in France. Trump thought they were unfairly targeting US companies like Google, Apple, Facebook, and Amazon. So, HE STARTED A TRADE WAR by threatening a 25% tariff on French goods in direct retaliation.
Once he lost the election, his administration dropped tariff threat in January 2021, and the companies he “protected” are still paying the tax (unless Biden negotiated something about it).
I guess his fans aren’t the only ones who have no idea what he did in the White House.
Not even his hair?
If only he’d worn it in his belt instead, we wouldn’t be in this mess.
I’d imagine that it was pretty average in appearance, like most schlongs. No one’s perfect.
New Ad apparently from Swalwell.
Awesome. I literally lol’d. 
that is sensational.
Trump has to be corrected by Fox News when he says Obama is still president.
“15 years ago Venezuela was a thriving incredible country” (15 years ago, Hugo Chavez was still president)
“[Biden] He said lock him up last night. He’s not allowed to say that” (OH REALLY?!)
“We’re like a garbage can for the world” (Sundown, you better take care…)
“With your vote this November we are going to fire… Kamala Harsssss. We’re gonna fire. Get the hell. We’re gonna fire Kamala. We’re gonna get her out of here.” (ERROR: ABORT/RETRY/FAIL?)
“Putin went into Afghanistan” (I don’t care much for this new Harry Turtledove novel)
“He doesn’t even know what he’s watched. Tell him, Jimmy. Get up. You’re getting up, Jimmy. Let’s go. Let’s go, Jimmy. I’m not gonna use foul language. Get your fat ass out of the couch” (???)
“San Francisco was one of the greatest cities in the world 16 years ago” (Kamala Harris was DA of San Francisco 16 years ago)
So did I. Thanks for posting that, @psychobunny !
I mentioned it before, but it seems to become even more obvious:
Not quite sure whether he does it on purpose, but listening to his delivery, his voice, the repetition of words and the unspecified nouns, verbs and universal quantifiers (“people are saying…”), is actually quite trance-inducing. I wonder if that is why people attending his rallies don’t realise what incoherent rubbish comes out of his mouth, as they are literally zonked out.
Old news but…
IMO, there are (notwithstanding the media) three types of people who go to Trump’s rallies; the superfans who follow him from town to town in their RVs like the world’s saddest Grateful Dead tour, the ordinary Republicans who don’t pay much attention to politics and want to hear what he has to say, and low-information/undecided voters who are curious.
The first crowd is just there to hear the greatest hits and would cheer for him if he read from the phone book for two hours. The second and third are the ones we see leaving 20 minutes into his speech when they realize he has nothing to offer but word salad and rehashed grievances.
Note that these are Trump’s words, with @Smapti 's annotation in parentheses.
I had CNN on in the background today, and they were showing part of this Trump rally. (I heard, for example, Trump say the above remarks.)
The funniest part was when he went on about the media. He listed a few sources, then mentioned CNN—and he stopped cold, looking straight into CNN’s camera. “Oh, look. All I have to do is say ‘CNN,’ and their camera goes off.” The crowd loved it.
Except CNN’s camera did not turn off. They continued to cover his remarks for about the next ten minutes. Of course, his in-person audience didn’t know that; but when they went back to the studio, CNN’s talking heards were remarking on it.
Good Lord, and that’s from 2016.
It’s taking longer than we thought.
This is, of course, correct. My apologies to anyone who thought I was suggesting that Trump started singing Canadian singer-songwriter Gordon Lightfoot’s 1973 number-one single “Sundown”.
