Is Trump confused?

No man ever matures past 13. That is his tragedy. Every woman does. That’s hers.

Men are just 13-year-olds with better acting skills?

We’re getting warmer. Lots warmer. @pulykamell did great.

@Q.Q.Switcheroo makes a great philosophical point that’d also make a good meme, but it’s not the same one. And would need a different pic w both happy men and vexed women in the same image.

Sorry to be no help except as a cheerleader. Being the prolifically prolix guy around here, I mostly suck at short and punchy. Once in awhile I can whip up a zinger, but not usually. And not on command. Sorry.

Apologies for running with the hijack:

My first summer job was as a nanny for three little kids, including 7 and 8 year old brothers. Their mom was in the middle of a divorce-related breakdown and so had parked them with her mother, but grandma was quite a proper lady and didn’t want to spend her time chasing after active children. Hence, my job.

One day somebody brought the boys a tape recorder to play with - as it happens, the same day that grandmother was having her ever-so-proper friends over for bridge and tea.

The guests arrived and the living room was off-limits to the children. But by then the boys had figured out that the most hilarious activity in the world, which they could engage in one room over, was to record themselves saying: “Pee-pee! Poop. Caca. Pee-poo-poop-POOP! Caca!” etc. and play it back at the loudest possible volume for all and sundry to hear.

Grandmother was not amused. But even as I type this out over 40 years later, I am chuckling. So I too have the same sense of humor as little boys.

I like OldOld’s original. But I do see the point that ‘fewer words is always better.’

One attempt:
For men, ‘emotional adulthood’ is always role-play.

(That’s pretty much true of women, too. All “adulthood” for all humans is posturing. But some are better at sustaining long periods of responsible conduct and self-abnegation than others.)

Moderating:

It’s long past time to drop the hijack about men and 8-year-old boy humor. No more posts about this, please. There is a specific topic for this thread. Let’s stick to it.

On his relationship with Geraldo Rivera;

"He is -uh - after I lost the election, I won the election, but when they said we lost, he called me up three or four times. I didn’t take his call because I was so busy fighting it, you know, with what went on. And we’ve caught them, I don’t know if you’ve seen it, but you will. But he called me up three or four times, and finally, I had a little time. I called him back. And he went on Fox and he started talking about, ‘the president called me.’ I didn’t call him.

I returned his phone call, and he started talking very personally about how I was feeling, how I was doing. And I said, that’s really a betrayal. I didn’t talk about how I was feeling. It just was a phone call that lasted very quickly. Just, ‘Hey, how you doing, Gerlando? How’s it going?’

It’s not my deal — he’s not my psychiatrist. But he made it sound like it was such a big deal. It was nothing. All I did was return his call, but he said, ‘The president called me,’ like I was reaching out to him. And I haven’t spoken to him since."

I’ve read that article multiple times now trying to figure out what the point of it was. I don’t see how he “destroyed his own lie”. It’s a very sloppy article. Then again, it is Raw Story.

It’s Trump admitting he lost the election but then immediately reversing himself. He also seems to have beef with Geraldo over returning his phone call which Geraldo characterized as Trump calling him but Trump disagrees with that. Also, never ask Trump about his feelings because that is a betrayal.

“Gerlando”.

He’s now on tape saying (when he was no longer POTUS) he is dedicating a lot of time to Afghanistan…

As we’ve said in another thread, perhaps “dealing with Afghanistan” may be a euphemism for going to the crapper and posting a rant in all caps.

Sounds like he’s channeling Darryl Hammond as Jesse Jackson on SNL:

For the record, I did not contact the Taliban; they, in fact, contacted me. What happened was this: I had a hang-up on my machine, so I star-sixty-nined, and they said, “Hello?” And I said, “Who is this?” And they said, “Who is this?” And I said, “You called me.” And they said, “You called us.” And I said, “I star-sixty-nined you!” They admitted it was the Taliban. Then I had a great laugh over what transpired. I immediately called the appropriate people in Washington, D.C., let them know I’d been contacted by the Taliban first. I then called my friend Gary to tell them how weird it was that the Taliban called. I pushed the redial button by mistake. I accidentally got the Taliban. At first, Jimmy, I thought it was my friend Gary being funny.

It sounds like the recordings from the author that made those claims are now available. Here is the “Joan Rivers voted for me”

You mean this?

after I lost the election, I won the election, but when they said we lost

That is worth devoting an entire article to?! :laughing:

He’s been saying it for years.

Even in the Jan 6 subcommittee they had him admitting it.

Last year:

This isn’t news, especially when Trump immediately covers it up as a slip of the tongue.

I admit that the mangling of “Geraldo” who is supposedly someone he’s close friends with was funny.

I forgot to add, “Joan Rivers voted for me” is gold. :rofl:

The guy is an orange clown.

I think that’s just a typo in the article. I watched the video, it sounds like he just says regular “Geraldo.”

A search for “Gerlando Trump” on Google doesn’t return anything interesting except a link back to the Raw Story article.

Raw Story. :roll_eyes:

Considering all the GOP’s other election fraud crap, it would be no surprise if ‘Joan Rivers’ did vote for him.

Ronald Regan did too, along with a bunch of other dead people.
