World War Two DID happen therefore Biden retroactively caused it! Impeach him now!

“We have a man who is totally corrupt and the worst president in the history of our country, who is cognitively impaired, in no condition to lead, and who is now in charge of dealing with Russia and possible nuclear war,” Trump said. “Just think of it. We would be in World War II very quickly if we’re going to be relying on this man.”

Obviously, Trump meant to say “World War III.” Insisting that we’re on the brink of another great war, and maybe even nuclear annihilation, has been part of his stump speech for months. But that isn’t the only line he flubbed. At another point in the speech, Trump seemed to mix up Biden and Barack Obama, suggesting he’s currently leading his predecessor in the 2024 polls.

Lol.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 year ago (2 children)

To be fair, he probably is polling higher than Obama.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

I actually doubt it, but I can't find any semi-recent Obama polls to say otherwise. Michelle Obama is polling great right now however.

And this, students, is an example of Projection

Ironically that trump quote is a perfect description of Trump's government

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago

Everything he says is projection, so it's not very surprising.

A cognitively impaired Trump thinks a ‘Cognitively Impaired’ Biden May Cause ‘World War II’

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago

Imagine being so cognitively impaired that you accidentally time travel.

The question becomes does America want a time travelling president? I mean I assume that they would, but I'm not American so what do I know.

His base already denies the holocaust, might as well just deny the entire war ever happened so he doesn’t get accused of plagiarism, too.

Can we finally add an age limit to all political offices, please!?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Aren't some states trying to do that in the US? But with a lower limit instead of an upper limit to prevent the "woke millennials" from taking office?

I initially read this as him saying world war 3 and then realised he actually said world war 2 and I can't stop sad laughing at just how fucking stupid this.

[–] [email protected] 44 points 1 year ago (2 children)

And to think 70 million Americans said that's my guy and there is still millions that would vote for him without hesitation if the election was tomorrow.

Remember that time he talked about how the US took over the airports during the revolutionary war?

I…think I need a drink. (I don’t drink)

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago (6 children)

I quit a little over 4 years ago. Since then we've had a pandemic, riots, war in Europe, too many natural disasters to name, and no real improvement on the horizon. I'm starting to wonder if my drinking was holding this world together.

Well, between wars, the rise of the far Right (again), climate change and the utter fucking up of the world economies by the ultra rich, now would be a good time to start.

Better headline:

"Trump confirms that US president has time travel capabilities"

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 year ago

It’s like he learned the word in his own medical checkup and decided to throw it at Biden.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Luckily Biden is always awake and alert because he is "woke"

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

Nobody is woke in America .... they're living the American dream, which you have to be asleep in order to enjoy.

Even if donnie did not totally f this up and sound like he's ready for a memory unit, it's not like he is much younger than Biden. Every time he talks about Biden, it only reminds me of how old donnie is.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

Every time he says anything about Biden being really old it always makes me think of my grandmothers.

My grandmother on my mother's side died at 80 with dementia. Meanwhile my grandmother on my father's side died at 99 and was basically perfectly normal and aware until about 2 weeks before her death, so age clearly isn't everything.

Also Trump is clearly suffering from some kind of neurological degenerate disease and wasn't exactly an competing in intellectual decathlons to begin with.

If he’s so cognitively impaired, then how come he’s able to operate a time machine?

It's already too late since World War II already happened. Donald Trump tried his best but World War II happened. We could keep warning people about Biden but unfortunately he will enter the time machine anyway and tell young aspiring artist Adolf Hitler that his art isn't that good. He will have tried to tell Adolf in the nicest way possible to ensure that Adolf won't take this wrong. Perhaps he will have tried to encourage Adolf to keep pursuing art as a hobby and maybe try studying art again later. But the fact that World War II happened shows that nothing that Biden will have tried has worked.
