This is a stretch. I saw the video, and he just misspeaks by saying "country" instead of "company", but it's clear that he understands it'sa company. He says he'll place tariffs on their toys, not the "country of Mattel"

Was he ever cognitively there?
If it were not for his mental decline, he would not have gained the populist support of so many uneducated or uninformed people. Back when Trump was young and sharp the average New Yorker couldn't stand him.
Years ago he was smart, fast, crooked, and completely devoid of ethics or morals. He has an instinct for self-preservation equaled only by New York City's most vicious, flesh-eating rats. Those traits were imparted by a ruthless father and honed by a cold-blooded mentor.
But time has the final word, and J. D. Vance is waiting in the wings like a pudgy undertaker with a bereaved expression on his face and a twinkle in his eye.
Mattel? Pfft. The Hasbro Army is the one to worry about.
magats listen him on right wing sources as part of white noise background noise. they dont pay attention to what hes saying.
i have a family member like this, its to reinforce what they already believe about him.
I laughed the first time I heard a MAGAt talking about how bad Biden was at speaking. I seriously thought they were joking, because Trump's word salad is far worse than any stutter Biden ever uttered.
...they were not joking. They seriously believe Trump is some great orator.
Can someone confirm this is real? I refuse to watch this piece of shit any more than I have to.
As much as I’m not a fan of Trump, based on that snopes article and the context around what he said… it’s pretty obvious that he accidentally said country instead of something like company. He followed up with remarks that made it obvious he knew that it was a toy company.
Tbf he tariffed penguins.
I can’t argue with that
He thought it would put a damper on the FOSS movement. It’s not good for capitalism.

No... you've killed the jerk line!
But how many accidents does it take? He always accidentally says the wrong thing. Its a pattern.
I also mispeak a lot, but that alone doesn't make me a dementia addled, fascist piece of shit unfit to be president. Him being a dementia addled, fascist piece of shit unfit to be president, on the other hand, does make him a dementia addled, fascist piece of shit unfit to be president

Back before the election, Trump spoke about the fictional character Hannibal Lecter, at least twice, like he was a real person. Trump was never cognitively there!
He kept talking about Hannibal Lecter because someone mentioned asylum for immigrants, and the only "asylum" he knows is an insane asylum.
So he started talking about Hannibal Lecter every time he mentioned immigrants, equating them with insane cannibals who want to eat you.
Is there a term for Pavlov's dog but done to yourself?

At least you don't have a woman in office, huh America?
Hillary won the popular vote, so the "you're too misogynistic to elect a woman" take does not have a basis in reality. Also, you might have noticed that AOC is filling football stadiums in red states just by being willing to speak.
Kamala lost because people got poorer for four years under Biden and she very publicly affirmed she'd change nothing about his policies. Hell, she didn't even put a platform on her website until two weeks before the election. Kamala was a legitimately bad candidate.
Kamala lost because people got poorer for four years under Biden and she very publicly affirmed she'd change nothing about his policies.
Well I think the problem is people perceived others as getting poorer or worse off but the economy was humming just fine and unemployment reached record low numbers iirc.
Like, in general terms, people did not get poorer for four years under Biden - but if that's what people think, regardless of the actual truth, that's what they'll act on.

The GOP didn't update their platform since, like, 2015, unless you count Project 2025, which Trump claimed to know nothing about. In the 2020 election, it still referenced running against Obama.

No shit, that's why he signs whatever they put in front of him, and project 2025 has been followed almost to a T. He doesn't give a crap about anything in project 2025. But he's mentally in lala land and they've been hiding his declining health for a while.
They haven't been hiding it well. His dementia was apparent even in 2016.
It's not just dementia anymore. That's just a symptom, whatever it is has progressed a lot.
Can someone sneak in an executive order instituting free basic healthcare and education for all, in one of the bundles of paper he signs?
I dunno, give it a shot. Maybe he'll just sign it and go for a big mac.

"Trump is not cognitively there".
So, he's the perfect representative for the American people.

My brother in law, without skipping a beat: "obviously he meant Micronesia"
My reply, apparently not enough to get a response: "So you're okay with a president who's so cognitively vacant he can't tell the difference between two very different sounding words?"
"obviously he meant Micronesia"
These people are goners. Completely in lala land now. Trump could have an episode where he sits on stage digging into his diaper and eating his own shit and these people would go "Trump is a very smart man returning those nutrients to his body" and they'd all start eating their own shit too.

Man thought the Barbie movie was a documentary and is ready to nuke the country Mattel for making a woke movie in their country.
Trump is one of those guys you find on one of those "lol shit Americans say" videos where someone approaches "random" people on the street to ask them history or geography questions.
Except he's your president, and because your country is "nice" enough to have the world exchange currency we all have to suffer for it.
WHALE!
He’s also an idiot
did he watch the barbie movie and thought barbie land was real?
