Onlookers fear ‘something very wrong’ with Trump

This is their threshold?

There has been something obviously "very wrong" with him for years. Decades, even.

[-] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 45 points 6 days ago

In the 1980s, Trump always made Spy magazine's "Top 10 Worst People, Places or Things" list. His one "mitigating factor" was always "at least he's not in politics".

[-] TehWorld@lemmy.world 13 points 6 days ago

It’s RawStory. Effectively Newsmax for the left wing. Feel-good stories that hold essentially nothing binding them to reality. Best avoided.

[-] MajorasMaskForever@lemmy.world 13 points 6 days ago

A useful idiot still needs to be able to do things for you, win over the right people, set the tone of the room, be the distraction. If the useful idiot goes off of the rails, stops being taken seriously at all, you're left with just an idiot. They're worried they lost the useful part

The Republicans never really had control of him. I think they fear him dying on them and them not been able to hold MAGA together without his unique brand of genuine crazy.

Maybe next time they pick a puppet president they go with someone who knows the score, and isn't under the delusion they're in change.

Fascinating. Where are the Epstein files?

He'll say anything to make people forget that he's in the Epstein files.

He's elderly, ill, and has dementia, on top of the fact that he may very well be the dumbest human to walk the earth in several millennia, this is not news to anyone.

[-] FatVegan@leminal.space 27 points 6 days ago

That's what's blowimg my mind. Yeah he's old, demented, has always been surrounded by dumb yes men. But even putting that aside, he's just as dumb as a sack of rocks. Always has been.

[-] metermatic26@lemmy.world 20 points 6 days ago

Its said he used to be quite charming and manipulative, so its not really stupidity. I think he may have a personality disorder. His choices often aren’t contemplated, but rash and emotional.

There’s also a pattern to his actions. Absolutely none of his decisions seem to be governed by empathy, morality, ideology, strategic national interests or even long term personal interests. Instead, nearly all his actions seem impulsive and emotional, aimed at satisfying his short term personal need for gratification, admiration or payback.

His frequent tantrums, his impulsive decision making, his inability to maintain composure, his inability to maintain professional relationships, together they all point to some sort of mental illness.

The People Of Tranquility Have Taken Advantage Of Our Generosity For Too Long. From Now On The Sea Of Tranquility Shall Be Known As The Sea Of America.

Thank You For Your Attention To This Matter.

Is he aware that the decades of solar radiation on the moon has bleached the flag the Apollo astronauts left?

It's white. Indistinguishable from a flag of surrender.

Not to mention, the US is a signatory of the Outer Space Treaty, recognizing space as neutral ground and subject to the same legal precedent as maritime law governing international waters.

Fucking lunatic should have been removed already.

[-] Zacpod@lemmy.world 17 points 6 days ago

Except Trump had made it abundantly clear that: A) American agreements are signed in pencil B) The American people are OK with A).

[-] jtrek@startrek.website 14 points 6 days ago

American treaties have a long history of being ignored. Treatment of the native peoples, for example.

[-] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 10 points 6 days ago

the US's agreement on something is worth basically nothing, and will be for a very long time

He's surpassed Idi Amin in his cheap self-aggrandizement.

I'm surprised he hasn't proclaimed himself king of Scotland yet.

Its sad that it takes such ludicrous displays before people acknowledge that “there is something wrong with Trump”. And then large chunks of them will in the next breath continue to support him.

[-] bcgm3@lemmy.world 15 points 6 days ago

"Something very wrong" describes literally every single fathomable thing that's come out of this administration.

the increase in trump gaffes correlates with the amount epstein file related news surfacing.

It's way worse than just the moon:

Among Trump’s bizarre online posts were images that appeared to be generated with artificial intelligence (AI) depicting him in hellish landscapes with threatening messages. One depicts Trump walking in Washington, D.C. alongside an army of robots and soldiers with red glowing eyes, and the message, “THEY WILL NEVER SLEEP AGAIN.” Another depicts Trump sitting atop a black throne amid a hellish and war-torn landscape in front of giant humanoid robots.

In another post, Trump suggested renaming the state of New Mexico to “New America,” and in another, redrawing Iran’s borders to mirror the silhouette of Trump’s profile. One post, also likely generated with AI, depicts the destruction of Iran’s Kharg Island with the message, “Bye bye, Kharg.”

Trump also shared an image of the moon that included the text, “THE MOON IS OURS,” alongside an American flag.

I still can’t believe he thinks that fake tanning stuff on his face looks good. He’s from Florida. Why doesn’t he just get a real tan?

They can't even take a strait, or maintain equipment, and have issues with feeding their people. So yes, the us should totally try to "take" over the moon.

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 17 points 6 days ago

Invading an undefended unpopulated rock might just be achievable by the current US military. Although I have some doubt that anyone in the current US administration knows about the lack of oxygen.

Onlookers fear ....

I like that kind of fine British understatement. It is like the BBC diffuses that MS Titanic appears to have had a minor collision with something floating on the surface and there might even exist risk that she cannot reach her destination harbour on time.

[-] reksas@sopuli.xyz 10 points 6 days ago

main thing wrong with trump is that he still draws breath

[-] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 10 points 6 days ago

Slow day in the news for rawstory.com I guess. Lots of people know there's something wrong with this dude, and have for a while.

Throughout history, no land claim has been valid without pissing on it. No one from America has pissed on the moon, therefore cannot claim ownership of it.

It's not too bad as he isn't saying the moon is a projection or that the earth is flat, like many of his followers. But the fact there is something seriously wrong is what we all know since he first ran for president, or even before that. Nothing has changed ever since. The guy is deranged. He's like Hitler, while missing a few chromosomes.
