        They do and he empowered them to get loud and fight for their “beliefs”. We’re all like “Great, another folksy dope remark, from the folksy dope”, but they see their own view on things confirmed by the great, successful & rich version of themselves.

        At least that’s what I’ve come to believe, after all these years of jaw dropping things said and done. The reaction to most things Trump does and says, should be a “No” in unison from every human being that can add 1 and 1.

    Because everyone knows Obama is secretly controlling the Deep State from his hidden bunker compound in his original birthplace of Kenya. /s

      That’s seriously what maggots think. All of them. I watch a lot of their media and so many of the elected politicians still even say “who’s actually doing that, not Biden, is it Obama?”. Like they could come up with detailed conspiracy theories that would take someone just a few searches to realize its bullshit. But they don’t even need to do that anymore. The population is so retarded that all they need to do is reference that last guy they hated. Biden is a senile and incompetent, right? MUST BE OBAMA. Who they still think is either African or Middle Eastern and never showed iz gurd dam berf ferticate.

      I never understood the Kenya thing. Even if he was born there, his mother being an American citizen at the time of his birth makes him a natural born American citizen and eligible for the presidency. Hell, McCain was born outside the US and was running against him in the same election.

    USA continuously confuses Trump and Biden for good candidates though, which seems like a worse mistake.

    Is this the election for US presidency or for who runs the next bingo evening at the local nursing home? Can’t make this shit up

    […]

    At 77 and 81 respectively, Trump and Biden are the oldest people to run for the presidency in US history. “Putin has so little respect for Obama that he’s starting to throw around the nuclear word. You heard that. Nuclear. He’s starting to talk nuclear weapons today,” said Trump, on Saturday night in Richmond.

    The crowd reportedly went silent as the Trump referenced Obama, who left office more than seven years ago. It’s the third time Trump has made the blunder in the past six months.

    […]

    Trump’s mistake came the day after Biden, twice confused Ukraine and Gaza as he announced that the US would airdrop humanitarian supplies to Palestinians in Gaza who are dying of starvation due to the Israeli bombardment and blockades.

    “In the coming days, we’re going to join with our friends in Jordan and others who are providing airdrops of additional food and supplies into Ukraine,” Biden said on Friday. The US will “seek to open up other avenues into Ukraine, including possibly a marine corridor”, he added.

    A White House official later clarified that Biden meant Gaza – not Ukraine.

      Confusing two ongoing humanitarian crisis, when both are constantly in the news and both are impacting the popular perception of the administration is absolutely understandable. Confusing the current president for the guy who hasn’t been in office for years, who has barely been in the current news or media lately… It’s an obvious bad faith argument.

        Look, Trump shouldn’t be running for President, he should rot in jail. But that doesn’t change that Biden can’t get out 2 straight sentences without fucking something up. I absolutely don’t get why they wouldn’t let anyone younger run instead. You should be sharp if you’re one of the most powerful people on this planet, your daily decisions can affect billions.

    He is not senile. It was a joke. It’s just that Alzheimer made him forget he already used it.

            Wouldn’t checkering itself, even in the abstract, need to reference two discernible colours or shades, and so, wavelengths of light, and so, some extension along a z axis, and position in time? Is it possible even for an abstract checkered pattern to be defined in any less than 3 dimensions + time?

      That’s just how it works. Trump loses 40% of the Republican vote in Michigan, And it shows his strength. Biden loses 20% of the vote in Michigan, and it shows his weakness.

    I hate Trump and I think he is senile and I want him to spend the rest of his life in prison, but I don’t think the news coverage on this is fair. Clearly he has always wanted to be compared to other presidents like Bush and Obama, even if he technically never ran against them. What’s the point of obsessing over this?

      It demonstrates his decline in mental faculties, which is relevant considering his opponent is facing similar scrutiny.

        I think his decline in faculties can be better represented than something as petty as this. The man walks like a tinker toy with a bad spring dragging its right leg. He thinks Ted Cruz’s dad killed JFK, he thinks the prosecutor in Georgia was racist towards him, and that windmills cause cancer. We can do better than him saying he will beat big names of the DNC.

    Fits his message though. “All those leftists are destroying the country and are all the same anyway!”
