I just want to exist in a world where he doesnt. Look at those fucking quotes. The intellect of an eight year old.
That tracks, because he acts like a first grader. He's proud of it, too.

"When I look at myself in the first grade and I look at myself now, I’m basically the same. The temperament is not that different."
8 year olds have more intellect than this dipshit. Guy has a single digit IQ.
8 year olds still have a lot of potential to grow. This piece of shit has shown a track record of about 70 years of non growth. Imagine getting rewarded for a behavior for 70 years straight. Even if he had the humility and intelligence to do it, he doesn't have the time left it would take to rewire his brain against that kind of conditioning.
To be clear, I'm not excusing him. I'm explaining that his brain is irreversibly fucking broken. Anybody holding on to hope that he changes in any meaningful way, don't you think that getting shot at would've been a humbling moment if ever there were to be one? By being a disgusting, hateful, stupid predator asshole consistently for his whole life, he's gotten absurd wealth, a model wife, an army of cultist followers, and he got to be president. Twice. When was he supposed to have learned that he should really take the time and energy necessary to do some growing?
I don’t want to brag, but at 8 years old I could read.
I don't say this to be derogatory, but his speech patterns remind me of the special needs students from middle school. Significantly moreso after his first term; he could speak fairly coherently throughout his first term AFAIK.
He is very clearly mentally unwell, and it's terrifying that he is in any way able to gain this level of power. I wouldnt put elder abuse out of the question, he just seems to say things and repeat things that get good reactions from the people around him.
eight year-olds, dude
The next 4 years are going to be fucking exhausting.
Just don't pay attention him. He's like the annoying kid from class that didn't have any real friends but we had to tolerate him because his house was in the zip code. But he ate paste and smelled of piss.
If there's one thing fascists hate, it's people tuning out of their antics and burying their heads in the sand while they start setting up concentration camps.
Drives them bananas.
Oddly specific.
Yea but the comedy that's going to come from this is going to at least make it less painful.
I like idiotic slapstick as well as – well, no one really. I hate it.
But I got tired of this puppet show in weeks last time. There’s no comedy here, just tragedy.
Makes sense.
He never had to mix with the peasants.
Groceries are something poor people shop for.
When trump wants food, it appears.
Otherwise it's McDonaltrump
This title makes me mad
Uh I always heard the phrase "dragged" in a much more serious/sinister context.
Yeah this word choice threw me as well. Who talks like that? “Did ya hear, Billy got dragged at school today, all the other kids couldn’t stop bullying him.”
Who talks like that
Most people under 35 in my experience.
Yeah it's been slang for decades
