Lifted from another comment thread:
And a cartoon sums up Trump and his purpose!
Correction: Fort McHendry. According to the president, it was Fort McHendry. Apparently, someone has been watching Goodfellas too much.
That cartoon could explain all the white on the Mall in the aerial shots of Trump’s inauguration–those white squares weren’t actually empty, but really packed with Klansmen–biggest crowd ever!!!
Looking for a photo, I found this:
Trump inauguration crowd photos were edited after he intervened
The clusterfuck started on Day One, but faking Trump’s crowd pic seems so quaint now.
Someone in the comments of an article I read yesterday, defended Trump by saying Obama said there are 57 states. :rolleyes:
Someone on Twitter said that the event was so disappointing that trump named it Eric.
Looks like the Russianswere pretty amused by the July 4 shenanigans.
Awww… Vlad… :
: How *could *you??
Lemme get this straight: He honestly promised the spectacle of a lifetime and gave us a guy making a speech w
Unfortunately, Trump is a spectacle of a lifetime. Some saw this coming long, long ago:
“On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.”–H.L. Mencken in the Baltimore Evening Sun, July 26th, 1920
If you put it all together, it makes perfect sense:[ul]
[li]Fort McHendry was bombed during the Revolutionary War;[/li][li]Bombing requires airplanes;[/li][li]Airplanes require airports.[/li][/ul]Ergo, there were airports during the Revolutionary War. And the Washington Lincoln Continental Army had to take them. Otherwise the dastardly British might have bombed the White House.
Of course, how else do you celebrate pride day
I seen them last Friday and flying the same planes they did when I first seen them. Nice for what they do, but that F-18 kept my attention far longer.
Can’t delete, thought better of what I just wrote.
I was going to make the argument that, as dumb as Trump is, no way did he really belive there were planes in the Revolutionary War. And I still believe that, nobody is that fucking dumb. And that if we make that argument, then the right comes back saying that Obama believed we had 57 states and we get into a silly little side argument about nothing. OTOH, ridicule is very effective, so let’s use his own weapon against him.
But that leaves me with a bit of a moral quandry. If I really believe that Trump did not believe there were planes in that war, is it right to share jokes saying he did? Well, no. That is fucking dishonest propaganda. There are plenty of honest and real arguments against Trump. And he is fucking dumb about a lot of things, things that matter.
But what the hell, here is the latest one I’ve seen - Most people don’t know this, but the band Jefferson Airplane was named after the plane Thomas Jefferson flew in the Revolutionary War.
I don’t give a fuck if Trump believes it or not; I’m making fun of what he said.
ETA: And the fact that he can’t just admit a mistake. That’s the really hilarious thing. He’s so fucking insecure and tiny in his own mind that to admit to even that silly, little mistake would crush and deflate him.
EATA: And see, if he read that, he’d prolly admit the mistake, because now I’ve gone and made admitting a mistake into a positive. He’s an insecure idiot who craves approval; you know: a narcissist.
I think thump really believed (and maybe still does) that there were planes during the American Revolution. And YESYESYES people are that dumb. They absolutely are.
He mentioned the Wright brothers in the speech. Which or course he didn’t write.
I hate Trump as much as you do. What is that phrase - I hate him with the intensity of a thousand blazing suns. But jeez, in this case he simply misread the teleprompter. Now the fact that he did not immediately recognize the error and correct himself shows how dumb he is, he was just reciting, like a parrot, the greatest speech in the history of Presidential speeches (some say that anyway).
But as you say, some people really are that dumb. Ask the average American who the Wright Brothers are, half of them won’t know.
It was Fran Lebowitz who said, in the 80s I think, “It would be hard to find someone dumber than Donald Trump.”
Just hope that history will tell the truth about this idiot. Winners write history. We must win if for no other reason than that.
The future must know.
QFT
That is supremely doubtful.
