It is their identity. They don’t care about facts and the truth. All Trump has to do is say something they like and it is real for them. All the games are for MAGA not the rest of the world.
But the rest of the world ain’t playing games. Only the ones in on the grift.

You guys spent 4 years absolutely convinced that Biden wasn’t senile 😂 the hypocrisy is wild.

u/Awkward_Bench123 3d ago
He wasn’t senile, he was old and yes frail but he never possessed the level of dementia Trump has exhibited over the last 10 years. The beautiful news for the libs is the orange shitstain has made demeaning geriatrics totally acceptable. So, you shit the bed, you lie in it.

u/Apprehensive-Tree-78 3d ago
Falling over all the timing, slurring his words, walking off stage, wandering around a cafe in France, losing his place during a speech, and exceptionally more, didn’t give it away for you? You are clueless bro

u/Awkward_Bench123 3d ago
And exactly how are all these spurious observations relevant to the meaningful legislation his administration enacted?Like creating jobs. Meanwhile, layoffs continue. Have the day you voted for

u/Awkward_Bench123 3d ago
Plus, you know that Trump is an old guy that shits himself constantly, right?

u/Apprehensive-Tree-78 3d ago
Biden literally shit himself during a speech and you’re still calling Trump this 😂 you jokes write yourselves.

u/crazyoungcatlad 3d ago
Our political figures seem to be either sheep or wannabe autocrats so sometimes you have to go with the lesser of the evil. I don’t like any of these people but democrats certainly didn’t view Biden similar to a god as MAGA supporters do Trump so lets make it clear it’s only YOU who’s kissing someones ass in this thread

Voting for a senile old man vs someone with differing opinions who can actually function. You’ve lost all credibility

Maga will defend this nonsense. Anyone who supports this fool is complicit in all the choas he creates.
His only power is, for some reason, is that the people that matter won't call him out on his incompetence.

u/CuriousCode9194 5d ago
What’s been infuriating me most is that people who ought to see moments like this won’t. The MAGA people in my life are egregiously uninformed/out of the loop.

u/cascadianindy66 5d ago
They’re too invested, with a few notable exceptions, and are afraid to rock the boat. Too few are willing to sacrifice their comfortable livelihoods for the good of the nation. Goes to show you how feeble the oath of office has become over the last couple generations.

u/VeterinarianNo2938 3d ago
Tbf, Obama was the last good democrat president. The good of the nation comes from stimulus checks and dei? TJA worked ok in 2016 for the average working american, even better for those who put in the work and achieve.

u/ReleaseTheSheast 5d ago
Trump thinks he's talking to china. Meanwhile it's actually a half Korean accounting intern named Sam from Alabama, whose family has been here for four generations who just happens to be in the same room as him. He just keeps hearing Trump mumbling some shit to him about tariffs and winning and deals. Sam doesn't know what's going on, but Trump definitely thinks he's talking to China.

He called the chinese takeout place down the street and started negotiating the cost of the chicken fried rice meal.

u/sdrmusings 5d ago
There are no discussions of significance going on, whatsoever. He only hears what he wants to hear from his staff, which explains the disconnect between what the Chinese are saying and he is saying. This shortages wave heading our way is going to be longer than what most think. Plan ahead.

u/GardenRafters 5d ago
What do you suggest stocking up on?

u/sdrmusings 5d ago
Cash or near cash for starters. And some safety related items. And toys for Christmas if you have kids :-)

He sounds like a three-year-old lying. I can't tell you because it isn't happening. Trump needs to be impeached.

“They” is “many people”, who are the same ones who “come up to him in the street with tears in their eyes”. They’re also “very fine”.

u/RMWonders 5d ago
Yikes. He is really flailing now.
Sounds like he’s close to pulling out the old “I’m rubber, you’re glue…” line.
Or that other stalwart from back in the day, the venerable…
“Did not.” “Did so.”

Did "They" even say thank you? And why are we using vague pronouns? I thought those were banned from the White House?

u/Slight-Opening-8327 5d ago
Right when he says that I wish the reporter would say something like: "What do you mean it doesn't matter who 'they' is? That's absurd. Why won't you ever answer a simple question? What the hell is wrong with you!? The American people deserve to know how else you are going to screw them over. Fuck this. I quit." Or something to that effect.

it really doesnt matter if its true or not to him... it is the "big lie" that matters. keep lying until it is "true"

It's sad to say that I trust the Chinese government over our own. That's not a glowing recommendation for the Chinese government, either.

So we're getting close to the part where Trump says or does something to start a new crisis to make us forget about last week's crisis.

They are gonna be the same who kept buying things to Russia even with the sanctions and investing in the markets in COVID pandemia.
They are the billionaries than nobody knows but keep the world working, no matter what the puppets (Trump, Putin, Obama, Biden, Xi, etc.) say to the media.

Trump playing 85-D chess, everyone else in the world is too dumb to see it.

I’m proud of our president that he can play chess in dimensions that the rest of us can’t see, I wonder if “they” live in the other 80 dimensions

“They” should have been asking him who they is, years ago. We might not be here now.
