Gee, it's almost like he's intentionally being an asshole to achieve a specific reaction he wants

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 16 points 11 months ago (2 children)

The thing that gets me about the Trump Admin is how all his spokesgremlins sound like they stepped off a Middle School playground. We've gone from "Newspapers are written at a 6th grade reading level" to "Public policy is implemented by 6th graders who just discovered what a bully is".

Spokesgremlins... I like that!

[–] TheReturnOfPEB@reddthat.com 3 points 11 months ago

spokesgremlins, spokesgoblins, spokesorcs, spokesgelitaniouscubes

Honestly asking, what reaction do you think he is looking for?

I can understand (and believe) these assholes are all evil and greedy at a cartoon villain level, but I simply cannot understand what is the goal here. All I see is stupidity running rampant

Absolute isolationism with nationalistic delusions of grandeur

Basically, North Korea

[–] Jhex@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

But don't they realize that North Korea is a broken dump? why would they want to be kings of that when they are already Oligarchs of an actual rich nation?

Not asking you to make them make sense... I am just at a lost for logic here

[–] SparroHawc@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago

Because even oligarchs aren't kings.

There's always another goalpost.

[–] RedAggroBest@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

They do realize that, they don't see what they want as that tho. This guy is too stupid for that, and he himself is not a oligarch

[–] HappySkullsplitter@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

They probably think that couldn't possibly happen to their country because they think they're better than North Koreans

[–] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

im convinced this guy has actual brain damage.

[–] Jhex@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

that's my occam's razor
