    This is dementia right here. I know he’s always been incoherent and rambling, but it’s getting worse.

    And the whole thing with the Time Man Of The Year award…

    First, why does it matter? It’s a stupid award they give out to celebrities and politicians, often over silly things. If your whole identity hinges on a Time award or how big your rally sizes are or how much money you can steal from people, and not on trying to treat others with respect and kindness, then you are utterly lost.

    Second, I looked it up on Wikipedia and it wasn’t 20 years ago. It was 8 years ago, in 2016. It was when he became president, because they always seem to award the new president with MOTY. He didn’t win it before that. He’s probably thinking of the fake Time magazine cover someone made him and which he has on his wall in Mar-a-Largo.

    Third, what the flying fuck is he taking about regarding the car business? I swear reading it hearing him talk comes close to giving me an aneurysm.

      this is why I’ve decided to just label all Maga Republicans as stupid. He speaks incoherently, but they walk around acting like it makes perfect sense. it’s gibberish. it’s total rubbish, and even the bits we can suss out… is freaking insane. but to them, it makes perfect sense and seems totally logical.

        Yes. If you say you’re a conservative, a republican, “religious,” or any combination thereof, I just assume you’re amongst the dumbest humans currently alive.

        Republicans for decades have been targeting people with 5th grade level vocabulary and logic. I used to think that Trump’s big innovation was targeting people at a 3rd grade level, but now I think he’s just targeting people in the late stages of syphilis.

      I mean, I of all people won Time Magazine’s Person of the Year award in 2006, and I just forgot about it until this post reminded me. It’s that insignificant, it literally does not matter.

      It matters because he basis his personality on persecution. And if he can prove one instance he’ll say it proves everything and anything else he comes up with. And it’s a lot easier for him to spread and pull this bullshit than it is for people to shut it down. Most hear the lies few hear the corrections. This is why he even still has a chance. There was an article a month or so ago about a news persons doing an in person town hall and like no one on the audience had even heard of his felony convictions or any of the trials or bullshit he’s currently fighting. That is the problem.

      The car business?

      In 2016, Tesla price was under $16 at the time. I think he is talking to Musk in his mind…
