“We will institute the powerful death penalty for drug dealers, where each dealer is responsible for the death, during their lives, of 500 people or more,” he said.
"Mothers will never again be forced to watch their children overdosing in hosp … and we will never allow mothers to watch their child hopelessly dying in their arms screaming, ‘What can I do, what can I do? Help me God, what can I do?’ We are a nation whose once revered airports are a dirty, crowded mess,” Trump continued, pivoting suddenly.
“You sit and wait for hours and then are notified that the plane won’t leave, that they have no idea when they will. Where ticket prices have tripled. They don’t have the pilots to fly the planes, they don’t seek qualified air traffic controllers, and they just don’t know what the hell they are doing.”
“We will take over the horribly run capital of our nation in Washington, D.C., and clean it up, renovate it, and rebuild our capital city, so that it is no longer a nightmare of murder and crime. But rather it will become the most beautiful capital anywhere in the world,” Trump said.
“Right now, if you leave Florida, ‘Oh, let’s go, darling, let’s look at the Jefferson Memorial, let’s look at the Washington Monument, let’s go and look at some of the beautiful scenes,’ and you end up getting shot, mugged, raped,” he warned, promising that he’d run the city “tough and smart.”
Watch Here:
That’s because of his diminished cognitive capacity.
Voters are demanding that trump step down and let another candidate take his place. It’s all over the Internet. I heard he can’t even tie his shoes anymore.
He has visibly struggled with operating a glass of water.
I heard he can’t even tie his shoes anymore.
“Anymore” implies he was able to at some point
Just grab em by the laces
He tries, but the Velcro is getting in the way
I heard it too. And everyone is talking about it. I’m talking about it right now! See?
I saw a comment earlier today calling on trump to resign. Everyone is saying it:
“Don’t you think he looks tired?”
Well, he was asleep a lot of the time he was being convicted of being a felon so he is probably as tired as he looks.
But his voters/supporters love how his mental abilities are lower than theirs
Trump looks, talks, and acts like someone who has had a series of strokes. As well has having mini ones like during his speeches. Sadly, most republicans are still lower than him in cognitive ability.
Bigly diminished. The best even.
Nobody has ever had more diminished cognitive capacity than me, everybody’s saying it. I have the best deficits, just tremendous problems with coherent thought
You sound like my kind of leader! Let’s go, Brandon!! Save this country from all these mouth breathing librarians, let’s go!
His cognitive decline has been tremendous.
I read the speech and then found the clip. It honestly looks like he was having a series of mini strokes.
“You sit and wait for hours and then are notified that the plane won’t leave, that they have no idea when they will. Where ticket prices have tripled. They don’t have the pilots to fly the planes, they don’t seek qualified air traffic controllers, and they just don’t know what the hell they are doing.”
Man who flies exclusively on private jets complains about public air travel.
Trump must really think we’re all fucking idiots.
Trump must really think we’re all fucking idiots.
Sadly, the people who attend his rallies are.
I mean that’s a reasonable superficial analysis and you can probably get through life on that without a lot of trouble… unless your smart, engaged son or daughter starts talking this bullshit one day, and you have to figure out what is really wrong, so that you can help them. Because calling them a fucking idiot? Ain’t gonna save them.
I think this is a defense mechanism on your part. It’s hard to deal with this, that so many people are so badly removed from reality that they cannot see these simple, important facts. But it’s a lot like someone sees a homeless person, and they immediately jump to denigrate that person, to help them cope with their own emotional needs at the expense of their own empathy.
Oddly, I don’t have a lot of empathy for people who support a guy who has promised to destroy anyone who opposes him. There are only 4 basic reasons to support Trump: you’re really stupid, you’re really hateful, you’re a Christian fundamentalist (heavily overlaps with “hateful”), or you’re really rich. Usually it’s a combination of those things.
The guy was president for 4 years and showed exactly who he was. You don’t get to use the “Oh, they’re just misguided souls” excuse any more.
Calling them idiots isn’t an effort to save them and in no way needs to fulfill that objective. Further, swallowing Trump’s bullshit and honestly believing it is itself sufficient to qualify someone as an idiot. If someone is, in your words, so far removed from reality that they cannot see the simple important facts, then they are by definition not also smart and engaged.
You say that like I wouldn’t jist discipline and/or disown them for it
The problem isnt this obviously true fact you stated; it’s that in the made up scenario in my head, your parenting skills are sub-par
Etymology
The word “idiot” ultimately comes from the Greek noun ἰδιώτης idiōtēs ‘a private person, individual’ (as opposed to the state), ‘a private citizen’ (as opposed to someone with a political office), ‘a common man’, ‘a person lacking professional skill, layman’, later ‘unskilled’, ‘ignorant’, derived from the adjective ἴδιος idios ‘personal’ (not public, not shared).[3][4] In Latin, idiota was borrowed in the meaning ‘uneducated’, ‘ignorant’, ‘common’,[5] and in Late Latin came to mean ‘crude, illiterate, ignorant’.[6] In French, it kept the meaning of ‘illiterate’, ‘ignorant’, and added the meaning ‘stupid’ in the 13th century.[7] In English, it added the meaning ‘mentally deficient’ in the 14th century.[2]

Seems to be accurate. Very accurate!
I guess we aren’t really the ones he’s “speaking” to though.
He flat-out said “I love the poorly educated.”
His voters are, thats the problem
Sure sounds like Trump is advocating for more government intervention.

media: why isn’t biden resigning?
Because Right Wing hacks own it
I would say this is because Trump’s potential voterbase doesn’t give a damn about having a competent, sane candidate. Biden’s potential voterbase has significantly higher standards. It’s easy to point out that there could theoretically be a better-performing candidate than Biden, but I don’t think it’s so easy to find someone that will get more conservative voter engagement than Trump.
Biden should resign, though. Trump’s mental decline doesn’t erase Biden’s.
lemmy doctors are absurd as congressional doctors who diagnosed terri schiavo over the tv.
I’ve seen a lot of comments saying he should step down. Lots of people talking about how unfit he is for office.
Allow me to increment.
He should step down. Ideally into a pit of lava, but that’s just a stretch goal.
Lots of people talking about how unfit he is for office.
Sadly, these calls aren’t coming from within the party itself. The GOP is fully in lockstep with Trump, while the Dems are - once again - stabbing one another in the back as quickly as they can swing the knives.
We should really take a lesson from the '80s Republicans, who had absolutely no problem pursuing their agenda despite a President who literally had Alzheimer’s during his second term.
Second term Reagan was, famously, not great for Republican election prospects. They lost a full eight Senate seats in '86.
Dems love to ruin everything for themselves in the 4th quarter.
Oh no republicans are in charge! The donors to my political campaigns will be so disappointed!
It’s almost like it’s impossible to represent everyone with only two political parties.
I’d say the deeper root of the problem is Congressional districts that encompass 600,000 residents each.
Capping the number of House Reps has turned the local political class into a gaggle of celebrity fundraisers and mega-bundlers.
How many people have actually met their Congressperson, much less a Senator?
Maybe the Hawaiians could volunteer a volcano?
He’s right though. I get shot, mugged and raped at least three times per week in DC. And I’m not even from Florida.
Just another day in DC.
The shootings, muggings and rap rings will continue till morale improves.
we will never allow mothers to watch their child hopelessly dying in their arms screaming, ‘What can I do, what can I do? Help me God, what can I do?’
That sounds like what happened to Anti-vaxxers during COVID.
Sounds like a school shooting.
Don’t worry, the kids are already dead by the time they let the parents in.
I can’t believe they expect Big Government to solve the problem of children hopelessly dying in the arms of their screaming mothers. They should let private enterprise take care of that.

The man is nearly as dumb as the people who vote for him.
That’s his secret of success. He has the unique ability to fervently believe his own lies. If some other fucker like Cruz or DeSantis lies, you can always see they’re aware of it and cringing inside. That’s why they are never perceived as “authentic” by the moron base.
This is how he has talked since campaigning in 2016, just a random word salad of whatever he thinks will get him attention. Maybe it is getting worse?
I honestly can’t tell because he has been incoherent the whole time, but hoping the media actually stays focused on it for a while.
He’s gotten worse over time. I remember during the 2020 cycle seeing video comparisons even between his 2016 and 2020 debates.
I don’t exactly enjoy going back and watching him talk, but it’s shocking going back and comparing seeing how drastic the change has been.
Here’s a bit of the 2016 RNC debate. Trump is still rude and crass. He’s not coming off as an intellectual, but he’s completing his sentences and making coherent points. He wasn’t getting obviously confused like he has been since- talking about airports being involved in the Revolutionary War, claiming Nikki Haley was responsible for January 6th, the famous rant about his uncle being a genius, etc.
Yeah he’s always said incredibly dumb nonsense, but it sounds significantly more uncontrollable now. I honestly think he sounds more like a dementia patient than Joe Biden does.
We will take over the horribly run capital of our nation in Washington, D.C., and clean it up, renovate it, and rebuild our capital city, so that it is no longer a nightmare of murder and crime.
Uhhh why you no do that during your first term? It’s not like DC has suddenly become shitty in the last four years.
He also stirred his followers up to attack those capital police officers, so objectively he’s done more harm than good.
DC also has a mayor, and it’s not the president
Trump should also stop running for president.
I think I saw in another comment here on lemm.ee that biden should make it illegal for felons to be president (dont worry, its an official act!) and then biden resigns. I hope it happens. We need turn the country off and turn it back on again.
SCOTUS will just rule he can’t do that
lol keep dreaming
“Trump is going to be a dictator, so Biden should become a dictator first!” lol
Biden is already a dictator, the supreme court decided that. He has the responsibility to use his powers as a dictator to return us to a democracy, but he’s too out of touch with how much the political landscape has changed to do anything about it.
We are about to see Gladiator play out, only with much worse sports.
i don’t care how the good guys win
Here’s hoping…
“We will take over the horribly run capital of our nation in Washington, D.C."
Can’t disenfranchise us, we’re already disenfranchised. Give us 2 senators and a representative, then you’ll have something to take away.
Let’s get Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam, the Virgin Islands, and the Northern Mariana Islands proper representation as well.
Fun fact: every battleship built by the United States has been named after a state except one, USS Kearsarge, which was named that in honor of the Kearsarge which sank the Confederate raider Alabama during the Civil War (the US Navy since then has always had a ship in commission with that name, as presumably a giant fuck you to the South). In order to restore the beautiful consistency of having every battleship named after a state, I think we should allow any of the territories you listed above to become the 51st state - so long as they change their name to “Kearsarge” first.
Samoa sounds really nice, especially when everything else collapses.
We already ruined Chagos. Not many other places to escape.
jerk vision: “Soma sounds really nice, especially when everything collapses.” Pass it to the left.
Can’t make DC a state for the same reason we can’t make Puerto Rico a state
It makes perfect sense to do so, but would negatively impact the electoral college in favor of people who aren’t Neo Nazis

The cynic in me believes that the Republicans calling for Biden to have a drug test before the debate was good old projection, and Trump was the one who was actually hopped up on drugs. Can’t ride that pharmaceutical train all the time though.
“powerful” death sentence.
Well, yeah. Wouldn’t wanna get involved in one of those limp-wristed, rainbow colored LIBRUL executions, now would we?
The one where you are fed so much avocado toast and kelp until your stomach bursts?
All while doing yoga.
I crave a mighty death 😦
This is why fumbling is such a bad argument. People aren’t listening to the overall message. They are just tone fucking each syllable now as the only problem between these two and that’s a real problem
The problem with Biden was he should step down for someone else and the concern of that is pivoting this late can be bad for dems.
But that doesn’t mean we start the same measurement on trump as the message he is conveying is horrible. It doesn’t compare.
