Context for the 2nd bullet point is that he claimed he "wasn't close to 80" when he's 78 and he said "Energy is so big. It's so like amorphous. It's all over the place. If you make donuts, it's a stove"

I did a search to see if this was a new donuts quote or the same one from a few days ago, and not only is it a new one, it's been happening for a year now?

https://archive.ph/FjRZn "Donald Trump’s New Campaign Talking Point: Save the Donuts" (Daily Beast, November 2023)

One Trump adviser told The Daily Beast that they had no idea where Trump had picked up the donut line. They didn’t even want to speculate, instead saying in a defeated manner, “I have no idea.”

Their spirit is broken trying to keep up with Herr Dumbass' verbal diarrhea 🤣

They should’ve had him work Dunkin’. Missed opportunity.

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 22 points 16 hours ago

Nah. His true calling was drag. The bitchiness. The mincing hand gestures. The wigs. If only he'd gotten over himself and donned the ballgown.

wow, he looks like he is physically failing as well.

That's a crazy clip, I had to find it.

The guy standing next to him on stage glances at the lady on stage like "uh oh, what the fuck is happening"

How does he not have a makeup artist on staff to make him look at least slightly less fucked up? It's weird that they've actually normalized his hair lately but can't seem to get the weird bronzer over all of his face.

If it were revealed that he's actually an AI-driven hologram at this point, I wouldn't be even slightly surprised.

The cringe is palpable. These might be bigots but even then I feel sorry for whoever has to be next to such a clusterfuck in person. For a moment. The I remember these people want to elect him and I feel better about their suffering. May it open their fucking eyes.

That's gracious of you.

I'm leaning at a right angle toward schadenfreude, watching a redneck at a barbecue who's been pouring gasoline on his charcoal briquettes for the past 8 years about to spark his lighter.

He doesn’t look good. Had someone in Cardiology yesterday, out of nowhere, shoot a frown at me and whisper, what do you think about the way trump is looking?

Like if you lifted his pants legs, my 7 is there’s bilateral pitting edema under there. Kind of like watching Nimoy in those final roles, seeing the COPD across that barrel chest, and wondering how far out of frame the oxygen tank actually is. It’s morbid to some, I’m sure, and that’s fair, but I am worried.

I’m convinced that the makeup is the same, he’s just become that much paler beneath the makeup.

[–] ShareMySims@sh.itjust.works 23 points 19 hours ago (3 children)

but I am worried.

About what? An open and unashamed fascist dying in old age??

Oh, no, the unimaginable tragedy!!!11 🙄

[–] zephorah@lemm.ee 5 points 11 hours ago

At base I’m not happy about anyone’s medical misfortunes, self inflicted or otherwise.

You could also read it as his health is worrisome. You could also read it as his base’s reaction would be worrisome.

Don’t assume puppies and rainbows. Remember Scalia.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

Trump dying now would be an unthinkable tragedy. He would forever be a martyr and we would never be rid of MAGA. FFS, there would be Trump statues everywhere. Oh, and think about all the conspiracies involving liberals killing him.

He has to live through this election and lose ignominiously. Then he has my permission to die.

[–] rockerface@lemm.ee 21 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

I would be worried about a more competent and less blatant fascist taking his place

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 hours ago

That's a definite worry, but there is no one that could replace him that I can tell, right now. He is a complete fascist, evil bastard, but he knows how to charm his people. The other fascists that currently have power don't know how (thankfully).

[–] Default_Defect@midwest.social 7 points 18 hours ago (3 children)

my 7 is there’s

Is this a phrase I should know or a typo?

What's in the box?

[–] zephorah@lemm.ee 3 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Roll dice and place a bet. Highest probability roll is what?

[–] Default_Defect@midwest.social 2 points 2 hours ago

I understand now, but this is the first and only time I've ever heard it. I wouldn't expect most people to catch your meaning.

[–] EtherWhack@lemmy.world 9 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

I think they were trying to hit a predicted word (likely "bet") above the "7" on their keyboard.

[–] Default_Defect@midwest.social 3 points 17 hours ago

Makes sense.

[–] TheFriar@lemm.ee 2 points 17 hours ago (3 children)

Woah. Do people actually use the predictive text suggestions when typing?

[–] ThePantser@lemmy.world 6 points 16 hours ago

I do if it's the right work, or I've misspelled it, it's easier to hit that than edit.

[–] zephorah@lemm.ee 1 points 11 hours ago

No. I talk with that phrase, refer to the 7 of a situation.

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

Yes I do but I'm going back in to work tomorrow morning so I'm not going for it until tomorrow and then I can get the joke

*Brought to you by predictive text, starting with yes.

[–] don@lemm.ee 10 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

what the actual fuck did I just watch

[–] interurbain1er@sh.itjust.works 5 points 16 hours ago

Something amorphous talking about donuts.
