The Republican front-runner made another gaffe as he tried to explain away all his other ones.
Donald Trump’s recent memory failures sure do look like some kind of cognitive decline. In the last few months, Trump has mixed up President Joe Biden with former President Barack Obama, slurred his words, bragged about his favorite type of violent death and that he calls corn “non-liquid gold,” insisted you need voter ID to buy bread, and confused his GOP competitor Nikki Haley for California Representative Nancy Pelosi, claiming that the former failed to act during January 6.
But during a campaign rally on Wednesday, Trump had a new excuse for all that, claiming all of his short circuits are actually just sarcastic jokes.
I was just pretending to be an idiot
Everything is pretend to him. Even the importance of human life. If you think he cares about words, you’re sorely mistaken.
We should stop excusing blatant malice as some kind of mistake. He cares about words as much as Hitler actually cared what the word Aryan meant. They recognize that the definitions of words are established by people, so they can make them mean whatever the fuck they want them to mean. They … give … no … fucks. And I mean literally. None of the fucks. Not words, not human rights, not the sanctity of life, none of it. Only power.
edit: Oh, and they think you’re fucking stupid for actually caring about dumb shit like “what words mean” when we can exercise power over that.
If you think he cares about words, you’re sorely mistaken.
“I have the best words.”
Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.

A narcissist is never wrong. NEVER. Their fragile self-image can’t stand up to the reality of making mistakes like the rest of us.
Ah yes, the time-honored defense of “…it’s just a prank bro!”
“I’m only pretending to be a senile moron”
Good job then trump, you really pulled on over us. Can’t wait to see what persona is hiding behind his incoherent exterior.
*Social experiment.
In this case, “How much of a befuddled moron can you be before the magic ® actually starts to matter?”
And I suspect we’ll never find the answer to that.
and that he calls corn “non-liquid gold,”
Isn’t “non-liquid gold” just… gold?
True playas keep their gold in Bose-Einstein condensate form.
One could make the very technically true argument that gold can be melted, but I would laugh at that person. I would not laugh with mirth, I would laugh with disdain.
Was he looking for the word illiquid? I’m not investing in corn futures but I’m going to laugh really hard if it gets a bump today
What if he is just drunk? Maybe he has been lying about being a teetotaler this whole time.
he’s on uppers they all are
The fanciest teetotals I know are all secret pill poppers.
One can hope it’s micro seizures…we can all hope he croaks before Nov.
🤞
He doesn’t drink or do drugs. It would probably help if he did.
He allegedly does not drink and is allegedly quite the connoisseur of stimulants. Look up “Noel Casler on Donald Trump” for the details of the latter allegation.
I fully believe he doesn’t drink alcohol. Lots of people don’t. And I believe he doesn’t see himself as a drug user because they’re prescribed.

How high are you right meow?
Very. What is your point? This is a well know fact about Trump. I’m not defending him in any way. I hate the man with a passion.
And I still properly fit into the 32 inch waistline pants I keep buying, too. People can claim whatever they want about themselves. That doesn’t make it true.
Except that it’s corroborated by many people who have spent time around him. It was well know long before he even ran for president. People can be crazy fucks without drugs and alcohol.
His verbal diarrhea always contains strange bursts of solid matter in it…in this case:
SPIDEN!!!
In this one, tiny, insignificant case, I’m going to give our asshole criminal buddy Trump the benefit of the doubt. This looks more like a transcription error and he really said, “that’s Biden.” The level of general evil insanity from Trump remains deeply troubling of course.
“But when I say that Obama is the president of our country bah bah bah, they go, ‘He doesn’t know that Spiden [sic], he doesn’t know.’ So it’s very hard to be sarcastic.”
I watched the video clip and the interpretation was correct IMO. 🤷
He may have intended to say “it’s Biden” but “Spiden” is what actually came out. So it’s “Spiden [sic]”.
Man, the Qultists must be on cloud nine trying to “decipher” his latest ramblings.
Not a Qultists, but from that video, it’s clear he was just saying “she will never be running for vice president” for the fourteenth time in 2 minutes.
I am no fan of Trumpelstiltskin, but the non-liquid gold thing seems like the kind of dumb joke I’d make. I think that one doesn’t belong on the list of dementia symptoms, unlike the other things.
Members of the Democratic Party have to be nearly perfect specimens of humanity; members of the RepubliQan party only need to yell loudly and look “strong” to smooth brains. They are allowed to be as awful and as incompetent as the dregs of society; it doesn’t matter at all.
Democrats fall in love , Republicans fall in line.
He is either interposer or interloper or one of the three.
I was pretending to be one of those deaf mutes
I pretend to not speak English when I don’t wanna talk to strangers
This is great. Give the dude more air time. He’s not ready for the spotlight but I sure as fuck am happy to see him be in it.
