I hate the orange fucker but it sounds like he has PTSD. I have combat PTSD and see dangers where there aren’t any. Sometimes your brain just wants you to leave the area.

[–] [email protected] 170 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah, he should retire and have that looked at. Poor guy, he needs some rest. At his age....

[–] [email protected] 115 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Don’t you think he looks a bit tired?

[–] [email protected] 72 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Don't you think he looks a bit weird?

How does Mrs Crawley know Dr Who? Did Dr Who visit Downton Abbey during one of his adventures?

[–] [email protected] 37 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

What do you mean? That's just Mrs. Crawley with Mr. Crowley, the strange man who is friends with the bookshop owner. Weird seeing him without his sunglasses though.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 weeks ago

He was Mr. Crawley until he changed his name.

Trump's policies resulted in thousands of veterans with PTSD being denied treatment by the VA on account of lack of funding. If anyone deserves to suffer from it, he does.

[–] [email protected] 41 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I hate the orange shitbag and have no sympathy if he is suffering. I genuinely want good things for all people. But he wants bad things for many people and so my wishes for good things don’t extend to him, his ilk, etc.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 2 weeks ago

Good. Don't be blinded by the tolerance of intolerance.

Oppose at all points.

The moral high road is filled with corpses.

Sounds like SS told him that. He said security doesn’t want us here.

[–] [email protected] 56 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Isn’t the accepted abbreviation USSS to avoid the association with the Schutzstaffel?

[–] [email protected] 40 points 2 weeks ago
[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

He’s an old man, I thought it was “Social Security”.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 weeks ago

He's a fascist, I would have believed if he meant Schutzstaffel.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Did someone come up and whisper in his ear? Was he wearing an earpiece? If he knew ahead of time that "security [didn't] want [him] there," security wouldn't have let him be there in the first place.

He may have dined with RFK Jr.

[–] [email protected] 49 points 2 weeks ago

It sounds like he didn't like the questions being asked and this is his new way of ending an interview.

Do you think someone suffering from PTSD will be able to fulfill their duties as President?

[–] [email protected] 27 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Active PTSD without treatment? Absolutely not. Maybe with some really good therapy but can you imagine that turnip taking advice from a therapist? Hah!

It's starting to sound more and more like he does. It would be completely understandable given what happened.

Also I'm sorry for what you went through, and I hope it gets better. My wife is infantry and I hope to God she never has to see combat.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Yeah, but in this case, there was an apparent evolving credible threat on his life and his security detail probably told him to keep the interview brief and then move.

I imagine his (new) secret service detail is a little jumpy after that whole incident in Pennsylvania.

Watching it, it looks like a stunt / setup to show how "dangerous the border is" or some bullshit. You never know what's going on in the moldy orange's brain.

Thank you for linking to the vid!

Sounds like he was just being an asshole and wanting to end the interview which the reported kept extending with questions. Seems like this is non-news.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 weeks ago

I think he got upset that she stepped in front of him to block his way before asking her question. He took it as disrespect and made the excuse to leave.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Thanks. What a shitty news article to not even provide the video (yet still include a completely unrelated random video at the top of the page anyway).

Trump: I look so weak when I run away from interviews. If only there was a way to ditch an interview AND remind people of the assassination attempt.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 weeks ago

It's hilarious that's his best strategy.

[–] [email protected] 51 points 2 weeks ago (6 children)

Having your head on a swivel after being shot at is normal. But you know what’s also unfortunately normal? Being shot at in the US.

A normal person would, after being shot at, consider pushing for responsible gun ownership legislation. He could help prevent what happened to him and hundreds of thousands of other Americans.

It’s so much cooler and more presidential to stand in a glass box and talk about how safe guns are for everyone though

“The second amendment people know that the radical left want to take your gu…”

Someone knocks over a chair and makes a loud bang

“WE’RE IN DANGER”

Kamala should slam her hand down on her podium periodically during their debate just to see if she can trigger the fat fuck into flipping out. It would be amazing seeing him combat dive and roll around on the stage while screaming "WE'RE IN DANGER!"

I've always felt like Trump uses "we" more like the "royal we" as in he's a monarch, whereas other public figures use "we" to include society.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Yeah, also when ever he said ''a lot of people don't know this'' he means ''I just learned this a few days ago'' and ''a lot of people are saying'' means ''This is just my opinion''. On the bizarre side of things, ''bigly'' is actually a real word in the English language and he would be using it grammatically correct most times he says it IF that was what he's actually saying, but he not, he's trying to say ''big leauge'' and is almost always using it incorrectly.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 weeks ago

Look at that scared little face.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 weeks ago
[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Honestly, I'm glad the USSS seems to be taking security more seriously since the assassination attempt no matter who they're protecting! It won't always be Trump...

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 weeks ago

I agree that tightened security across the board is smart. But I'm a little skeptical that the set of a tv show was actually all that dangerous and that he was actually told what he claims.

The Cochise County Sheriff's Office told Fox News that Syvrud is accused of making threatening posts on social media targeting Trump.

Oh is that illegal now? I bet there's a bunch of poll workers who would be interested to have such support from law enforcement.

Ahead of Trump's speech in Arizona, authorities announced that they apprehended 66-year-old Ronald Lee Syvrud. The Cochise County Sheriff's Office told Fox News that Syvrud is accused of making threatening posts on social media targeting Trump. He was arrested without incident, according to Fox News, and had outstanding warrants in Wisconsin regarding a DUI and from Graham County, Arizona, involving hit-and-run and felony failure to register as a sex offender.

Why am I not surprised.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 weeks ago

The clip just seems like he was done talking to the reporter, the reporter had another question (regarding a threat), and he gave an on topic (suprising) smart ass reply to her question in order to end the conversation. I think folks are reading too much into this.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

We have a felon running for office who is openly telling his followers to revolt when he loses. We can’t let this ever happen again. We need to put some laws in place to stop a future Trump from happening again
