  I know this has been said many times, but the fact that this clown was actually President of the USA makes me doubt the sanity of humanity.

    It was a huge shock to us all, all around the world, watching him go from attempting to run for president of the U.S., to actually attaining it. The best thing I can say for it, is that it shows that Americans have a genuine hunger for change. If it could just be directed in a productive way…

      That’s a very positive way of putting it. I appreciate it.

    The fact that over 74 million people voted for a literal monster in 2020 is what made me doubt it.

    Also, the fact that there are women and non-whites who vote republican.

      Some people have different priorities or ways of thinking, and this can cause them to conclude that the Republican candidate is the best option sometimes, without being malicious.

      I don’t vote Republican, for the record, but such people are out there. Otherwise it wouldn’t be such a major party (unless you think nearly half the US is malicious.)

    As a non-American, I concede that reading his Twitter meltdowns and hearing is asinine takes was extremely funny for the first 3 weeks. Then it just got sad.

      Nah, when I see what’s going on here in Europe… These may not be such obvious jokes, but this stupid and dangerous right-wing propaganda, which seems to be gaining momentum everywhere, is frightening.

      The popular vote tells a better story than the electoral map, but yeah, the ones that can leave easily, should. I did.

      The rest of the world is trending towards American insanity, though.

      The UN should have walled us off after he was elected.

  But Biden has dementia?

  • Riccosuave@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    I think I am developing dementia from how much stupid bullshit has been involuntarily implanted in my brain over the last 8-ish years of politics in the United States. I honestly think I am dumber and more apathetic than I was before 2016, and that is scary because I actually do give a shit about the progression of our species.

    Even if this were true, I’d vote for a banana peel over Trump because at least the banana peel won’t do anything to dismantle election integrity.

  So stupid… the thing that really gets me is it isn’t a new thing, he was always this stupid. Which means they’re are way too many people dumber than him which is fucking scary.

  • EatYouWell@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    He wasn’t, though. If you look at his interviews in the early 2000s it’s like watching a different person.

    He was still a pompous piece of shit idiot, but he absolutely has had an extreme cognitive decline over the past decade (probably from amphetamine abuse).

    If I had to guess, I’d say he was in the mid stages of dementia with one foot over the advanced line.

    • db2@sopuli.xyz ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      I’ve seen his interviews for the last 40 odd years. Do you recall when he claimed he lived in a cardboard box on the streets of NY until someone gave him a $5 bill which he then built his fortune on? In reality he got several million from his father and never had lived on the street. Believe me, he has never once lived in the same reality as anyone else.

      Even that leaked audio at the start of covid when he said it was worse than a virulent flu. He knew what was going on.

  Is there no contempt of court for lying?
  What happened after this?
  (I know the answer is probably ‘nothing’)

  • geekworking@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Lying in court is perjury, which is a criminal offense.

    That being said, making a mistake on something like a date is a valid defense. Trump immediately recanting gives him a good way to claim mistake.

    There’s more value to prosecution to make him seem deceptive and stupid than wasting more time with something like a super weak case for perjury. You also don’t want to give them more ways to draw out and delay the process.
