Wild statements from someone's crazy uncle, he is sounding more like Putin every day

ladyjay5025.bsky.social•82 days ago

Yes, stop wasting screen time on these unserious things

findinglifesfire.bsky.social•82 days ago

Yes it's bait, but no it is far from sounding cool. Did you mean insane?

musicarchives.bsky.social•82 days ago

This is exactly it. He doesn't like everyone talking about President Carter. He's pathetic.

georgiablue.bsky.social•82 days ago

But it sounds completely absurd and workable and not even a little bit cool.

georgiablue.bsky.social•82 days ago

Correction: unworkable.

maurice8888.bsky.social•82 days ago

I would like to know what parasite infected moron T's brain. His thoughts are even much worse than any other tiran this world has.
Does he know any decency or respect? Shame on the Americans who voted for this moron and the other bunch surrounding him 👿🤮🤮🤮

bluedotfrombfe.bsky.social•82 days ago

The problem is with Trump, it’s hyperbole, until it’s not. It’s a joke, until it’s not. You are right to not get worked up but don’t forget it either.

jenbone.bsky.social•82 days ago

Let the media excoriate him. They haven't done so for the past 10 years. LET THEM DO THE WORK!

figgyp.bsky.social•82 days ago

Exactly. They are distractions from the real chaos and “hell” to be unleashed.

jamesahk.bsky.social•82 days ago

My advice since he started campaigning. He will do awful shit and be awful but telling people you are paying attention gives him the power he craves

fijiphil.bsky.social•82 days ago

Forgive my ignorance, but which bit sounds 'vaguely cool'?

doncomer.bsky.social•82 days ago

Doesn't sound cool to me. Sounds like a crazy old man.

bryceatwell.bsky.social•82 days ago

True. There's a much better chance trump slips in the golden shower and cracks his skull open like Roger Ailes.

gulywompus.bsky.social•82 days ago

I keep saying this! He really needs to be ignored!

dcmcb.bsky.social•81 days ago

He's an obese octogenarian in ill-fitting suits, that forces himself on women, wears bad makeup/spray tans, and doesn't know how to drive a car. Nothing about Trump will ever be cool.

kimsofia.bsky.social•82 days ago

I mean, it does distract people from realizing the price of eggs and things won't go down AND us citizens are the ones who will be paying the tariffs, but still, that shitty old man should be taken at his word since he's currently owned by Putin

pecan7.bsky.social•82 days ago

this feels so painstakingly obvious, and yet…

erdrickstorm.bsky.social•82 days ago

Ummm which part of that sounds “vaguely cool?”

joyinthegarden.bsky.social•82 days ago

Exactly. Ignore, move on.

chele-petak1.bsky.social•82 days ago

We fall for it every time...wish Dems would be smarter, pro-active, not their usual reactive.

trueblue47.bsky.social•82 days ago

we should all be riveted to his every word and breathlessly awaiting 1/20 when he reascends the throne and fancies himself the king.....woe to the peasant who doesn't understand this

trueblue47.bsky.social•82 days ago

he's trying to say anything outrageous enough to divert attention back to himself from the Carter honors....which, with every station running it, is driving him batshit

sheldoncat.bsky.social•82 days ago

Better yet, let’s stop pandering to this infantile 5 year old in an ill fitting suit, with lifts in his shoes and a Depends on his orange ass!

calvinonthebeach.bsky.social•82 days ago

Immigration / mass deportation and cutting the social safety net, i.e., Medicare, Medicaid, SSI, etc, need our attention

funkymathwizard.bsky.social•82 days ago

They are smokescreens for other, more dangerous, plans

blogoftheirown.bsky.social•82 days ago

....does it sound vaguely cool?

ozwiltshire.bsky.social•82 days ago

It all seems to be a distraction, but from what i wonder?

BTW
How long will it be before Project 2025 is implemented?

bperrybrea.bsky.social•82 days ago

100% correct! Don’t follow the clickbait…eye on the ball. He can’t be loving that the Carter funeral is #1 in the news. We need to focus on the serious issues while also commemorating a truly decent human being.

rs-c.bsky.social•82 days ago

Exactly and look for the bank he is robbing while he distracts with stupidity coz you know it’s about the money and how he can grift.

floppergostic.bsky.social•82 days ago

(Look, as long as he's rambling about annexing Canada and Greenland, he's not actively destroying our governmental infrastructure, so I say let grandpa cook.)

jonostrove.bsky.social•82 days ago

I wondered: is he just playing with us or is he playing with himself?

thundergulch.bsky.social•82 days ago

That would be easier to do IF he was going to run for reelection. He's not, so he is unencumbered.

larissaschwartz.bsky.social•82 days ago

Pay attention to what they do not the BS they blather. The KGB playbook includes the chaos tactic, ignore the Putin strategy, tend to what's real

leabug1.bsky.social•82 days ago

Meanwhile, he got the PM of Canada to resign, and will pull us out of NATO so we can attack Greenland and the Panama Canal. Let's stop fighting stupid wars. FFS!!!

cactusjackpine.bsky.social•82 days ago

People didn't believe Hitler either.

knittingconnie.bsky.social•82 days ago

Trump wants us to talk about and pay attention to him. He can’t stand that Former President Carter is getting attention. Dangerous, evil, narcissistic idiot is he.

steefanon.bsky.social•82 days ago

Journalists should report on what Trump DOES, not what he says--unless he says it to a foreign leader.

poollady1.bsky.social•82 days ago

He is distracting from his sentencing and the Jack Smith report.

cats-wink.bsky.social•82 days ago

I would like to bake you cookies and cake.

cats-wink.bsky.social•82 days ago

I do think there is a way to fight back. Consider the last person in the room. Consider Trump hates looking like #2.

Greenland is all based on the Tech bros wanting a little kingdom. Trump is just doing what Musk wants.

Canada is just a new trade deal because his last one was not great.

benjaminthomas616.bsky.social•82 days ago

Nine years ago, I would’ve agreed with that. But not now. We need to take him deadly seriously. He’s been talking about Panama for years… He wants US expansion because he sees that as the sign of a powerful leader (Putin-esque.) we need to stop pretending he’s just silly. He’s dangerous.

lburnett15.bsky.social•82 days ago

I was taught to take every person at their word. Especially when it's 'just a joke' or outlandish.

giddiup.bsky.social•77 days ago

I agree 💯. He makes such absurd, off-the-wall, asinine statements. People think he's nuts. And he is. He's crazy enough to follow through. Very dangerous.
