Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Tinfoil hat time... Repeated misquotes like this make me wonder if it's a signal to someone who he isn't able to contact directly because his communications are closely monitored.
It's easy to say he's just dumb, but clearly he's quite capable. But maybe he's just using filler words because he has fuck-all to say.
He is in fact very dumb.
More specifically, he has broken impulse control (even affects his speech), a small vocabulary, poor memory recall (all these combined results in his "bigly" choice of words), and he has a ridiculously small minded world view and very limited understanding of other humans ("theory of mind"). In the last few years he's also becoming much more prone to losing his train of thought and failing to comprehend things.
This version of TrumpGPT does not have enough parameters, so it hallucinates all the time. But the presidential version will be much better! /s
He kept the stolen classified documents in the Mar-a-Lago bathroom next to a copy machine. He is far too fucking dumb for a covert signal delivered publicly.
There are no consequences for any of his actions so there is no need for it either. He'll just go on national TV and literally say, "everyone in the hate group, stand by."
The guy that said "RUSSIA... IF YOU'RE LISTENING..." on TV? Yes, your assessment is correct.
Didnt he already do that?
Yes. After a full year of saying he won't accept election results unless he wins. And then we had an insurrection. So it is cool that even to this day we have clowns on social media pretending he didn't attack the country.
Why was there a copy machine in the bathroom
Take off the hat. He is so dumb that it's impossible for him to remember to do anything nefarious, let alone mildly intelligent.
Looking down on your enemies is a surefire way to get surprised by them, just sayin.
Hell, everyone laughed and called him a circus act during the run up to his election, convinced he wouldnt win so no one dealt with him seriously, and look what happened? we got 4 years of Trumpism, stacked courts, the loss of Roe v Wade, and an epidemic resulted in over a million deaths, most of which would have been preventable if not for him and his actions.
So, sure, laugh at him. Mock him.. Just stop underestimating him.
Again, Trump is a moronic monkey. It's not his intelligence, smarts or whatever you want to label it. It's his team that makes things happen and it's the retarded voters that like him.
I'm not underestimating anything. The election is going to be a shit show and I'm positive the MAGA nuts will actually kill people on election day.
I didnt label anything. I said don't underestimate him.
You're the one coming out swinging wildly about his intelligence and being the living embodiment of the kind of attitude I was warning against in a petulant fit for some god forsaken reason.
No. He's a straight up brain dead moron. It's the MAGA machine that is the problem.
And none of your petulant flailing has anything to do at all with what I've said.
Which you'd realize if you replied to what I said, instead of replying to what you imagine/wish I said.
Literally doing the exact same thing that got him elected the first time, but you're too far up your own ass to see it.
Yep, you're a random idiot for sure.
Yep. Clearly I'm an idiot for saying dont underestimate the guy who already won once because everyone underestimated him, and as a result did massive damage.
What a fool am I.
You've certainly showed the world the depths of my ignorance there.
Good
Get a room you two.
So dumb he managed to find himself elected president of the United States, even.
'Trump dumb' is dangerous thinking.
He's an imbecile. His team and the huge amount of brainless, racist scumbags got him into the WH.
There's no IQ test you have to take to get elected.
Its his money and smart people willing to make him a president in exchange for money that made him a president. Not his wits
