Because he is a con and very good at it

Even when Biden is trying to sound reasonable, he’s hampered by the fact that his knowledge of issues never goes deeper than

There. fixed it for you

tbegz-63.bsky.social•71 days ago

He’s definitely not very smart.

rigbythedog.bsky.social•71 days ago

Trump doesn’t have to govern and he won’t even try to govern. He’s there to grift and con and bolster his Trump Organization portfolio (and play golf).

icassassin.bsky.social•71 days ago

It kills me - absolutely fucking kills me - that more media does not straight up call Trump an idiot.

Come the fuck on, guys. He’s stupid as hell and should be loudly mocked for it.

DISGUSTING that TIME MAGAZINE named this CONVICTED FELON Person of the Year. He should have been sitting in a jail cell from day 1 awaiting his court cases. Instead he was having rallies to win the election. The only reason was to stay out of PRISON. TIME MAGAZINE should ashamed of themselves.

Talking points of the day distributed to all GOP. It’s a calendar with the talking points of the day.

ojodio.bsky.social•71 days ago

He has the reading level of a fifth grader in special education. He has no idea what he’s talking about most of the time & just lies anyway while trying to sound important

tallboy66.bsky.social•71 days ago

He also has no real knowledge about anything

People are talking about it
I talked to people about it
We're going to talk about
We're going to talk about what to do about it

Knowledge would take effort. That’s beyond the capacity of the orange turd.

dapperdamesnysd.bsky.social•71 days ago

Everyday in every way we are reminded trump is unfit for office. I’m still in shock honestly, but we must forge ahead. With any luck he will continue to screw up and show his true colors to the people who voted for him. And maybe in the next 2 and 4 years there can be an awakening. Spell broken.

njerdoc.bsky.social•70 days ago

Correction: never deeper than “Fox News talking points and random tweets he reads”.

gogs-48.bsky.social•71 days ago

Points that he's "seen or heard somewhere."

born2bemild.bsky.social•71 days ago

Or "people came up to me and told me" (with tears in their eyes)

witwarrior.bsky.social•71 days ago

Trump does not know, and he does not care.

“Blank malice.”

witwarrior.bsky.social•71 days ago

Possibly “blank malice” should be “blanc malice” for white supremacy.

nalathenoodlegator.bsky.social•71 days ago

I’m not defending him but he is dealing with two personality disorders, possible addiction issues, potentially dementia and he isn’t physically well. Just one of those issues to deal with is a lot. Meanwhile he has five serious issues that could affect him. He is a mess…

witwarrior.bsky.social•71 days ago

You forgot to mention that he’s vengeful and ruthless. Not disorders, not health issues. Just a nasty man.

blackcatlady9.bsky.social•71 days ago

I tried to read the interview. my head was spinning I had to stop reading. It was so incoherent he couldn't put three words together that made sense

oldskier.bsky.social•71 days ago

Even if he had knowledge, he doesn't have the language to convey it... I don't understand why MAGA loves word salad!

mrchompchomp.bsky.social•71 days ago

“Talking points” is often too generous.

tallboy66.bsky.social•71 days ago

Blabbering incoherently is accurate

born2bemild.bsky.social•71 days ago

"often"

mrchompchomp.bsky.social•71 days ago

Lol. Covering my ass. On rare occasions he does rise to the level of nearly coherent for up to several seconds.

idummkopp.bsky.social•71 days ago

This is why:

kbpiers.bsky.social•71 days ago

Ignorance abounds. Now he’s back tracking on his campaign promises just like 2016. No wall no hlthcare to no lower prices no end to wars. When will they learn?

mammau.bsky.social•71 days ago

"sWaggeringly" unfit.

tisjules.bsky.social•71 days ago

DUH!

clemster90241.bsky.social•71 days ago

Politics aside, I'm impressed when a politician knows his stuff and answers questions in a substantive way. It shows they do their homework. It doesn't happen much!

idummkopp.bsky.social•71 days ago

But not THIS politician.

kauffy.us•71 days ago

I mean... it's worked for Musk so far.

idummkopp.bsky.social•71 days ago

Musk is not interested in what Trump is saying but only in how much power he can get from him.

kauffy.us•70 days ago

I don't think Musk even understands what Trump is saying-- but as long as it keeps him out of prison and he can be seen as being important, he'll do it.
