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 🤣

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Breaking spirits is part of his strategy.

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"

[–] zephorah@lemm.ee 30 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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 27 points 1 year ago (3 children)

but I am worried.

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

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

[–] rockerface@lemm.ee 25 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year 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).

[–] bamfic@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

A couch fucker too

[–] zephorah@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year 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 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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.

[–] Default_Defect@midwest.social 10 points 1 year ago (3 children)

my 7 is there’s

Is this a phrase I should know or a typo?

[–] EtherWhack@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

[–] TheFriar@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago (3 children)

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

[–] ThePantser@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

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

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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.

[–] zephorah@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Default_Defect@midwest.social 3 points 1 year ago

Makes sense.

[–] zephorah@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] Default_Defect@midwest.social 4 points 1 year 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.

What's in the box?

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

what the actual fuck did I just watch

Something amorphous talking about donuts.

[–] fibojoly@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 1 year ago

What… the fuck.

[–] match@pawb.social 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

people keep trying to assassinate him with guns but if someone accidentally tripped this dude once he'd go down like a sack of shit

[–] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

haha, truth.

[–] bamfic@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Well, he is a sack of shit

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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.

[–] match@pawb.social 3 points 1 year ago

that is him looking less fucked up

[–] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

there's probably only one or two wranglers he allows nearly enough to paint him or he throws some kind of crazy fit.

he might really be losing it, fingers crossed.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

It's about damned time

[–] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

yeah he got pretty far on McDonald's and Coke.

and a billion dollars.

[–] azvasKvklenko@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Sort of disappointed with Kamala campaign. It’s 90% of saying how Trump is a moron (which is still true), 9% repetitive buzz words, 1% embarrassing herself while being asked on economy, also suggesting communism as the way moving forward.

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

and my little sister still wants him in the high chair

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 year ago

All right, that convinced me. He's getting my vote. /s
