I am regularly amazed by how Trump acts like a spectator to his own administration. You brought in the troops, mate. That's why things are looking really bad. You did that. You could undo it, or - more foolishly - do it more. You're the president, chief. - ThreadSky

No he's not, he's just an angry old man yelling at the TV

He is both the decider, and not responsible for anything.

johngage1.bsky.social•10 days ago

I suspect he does that, so if something goes wrong, he can find someone else to blame.

tbwagp.bsky.social•10 days ago

it’s all The TV to him, it’s noises and images and flashing on his screen that he gesticulates and screams at until it changes to his liking

They give him papers to sign, he signs them. Doesn't mean he knows what's in there.

If this was Biden, we'd be having a two-week long news cycle about his declining mental acuity, since evidently he was unaware that he did, in fact, bring in the troops.

Nobody can make two weeks out of "He sounds senile" and "Yeah, we know."

patricklinnen.bsky.social•10 days ago

I really wish that were true.

All the media has to do is to ignore the "Yeah, We Know" part of the cycle and breathlessly announce "Biden Is Old" on repeat. Or any of the 'scandals' ginned up by Republicans.

(I know Biden is not Who you are referring to, but the principle remains)

jennyeverywhere.bsky.social•10 days ago

And that guy is as old as Joe Biden. His worshipers ignore that.

welverin.bsky.social•10 days ago

Sure they can, people are STILL talking about Biden’s mental and health decline.

I mean it's a classic part of the fascist playbook, right? Even when totally in power, you have to always act like the victimized underdog in order to justify further violence.

unavaleable.bsky.social•10 days ago

yeah he just reverts to fox news grandpa constantly

spiritusnox.bsky.social•10 days ago

Well I mean he is a spectator in every way that matters, right? He didn't want to actually do the job when he was lucid, he sure as shit isn't doing it now right

Trump has one doctrine

Trump is not imputable for any unpleasant news

Resolves all major questions from his POV

The “campaign” never really ends for this absolute stain of a human being. A Crooked Hillary or Sleepy Joe or “Newscum” post is probably being queued as we speak.

The further I go down the path of years, the more I respect Truman's "The Buck Stops Here" sign. Even if that goal is imperfectly pursued, conspicuously committing to its pursuit is Good Actually.

Have a lie down, grandpa.
