      We saw what he’ll do during the Obama ape post. Blame a few staffers, not by name. Then say he’s not sorry and move on. I doubt the upset Christians will remember this or care in a week, two weeks.

        oh, I forgot about that-- it was a long time ago. edit: sorry, the past few months have felt like a decade!

        still:

        • that was twitter (not even X yet), not his own platform
        • he was much more adroit then. he’s much more old grandpa crazy now
          • he won’t say he’s sorry, he’ll double-down, if he acknowledges it at all
            • if he goes the double-down route, which is possible because I don’t think this Pope-fight bullshit is going away (yay!), who knows what downhill direction the diarrhea will run
        • this Pope-fight isn’t just affecting Trump, now his “Christian” base is getting involved, and not on Trump’s side

        so, this is gonna be fun to watch

        edit: 15:37 ET (UTC -05:00)

        ok, so, it has been fun to watch! His response…

        Trump gets McDonalds DoorDashed to White House and then takes Iran war questions with delivery person

        so, he admits to posting it because he claims he thought he “looked like a doctor healing people” which either makes him seem to be the biggest liar ever or the most completely bonkers person ever, and, really, it’s not an either/or situation anymore but a matter of “which is more the case” at this point.

        more to come…

        Yup. They believe what they want to hear. A few repeats of the “fake news! doctored images! liberal media persecution!” mantra from their lord and savior, and their outage will be redirected onto ‘the left’, and any internal conflicts they have will fade into numbness and blind adulation.

        He actually took credit today and said he was clearly a red cross doctor.

      This is all the better because we know he’s seen it. And this is exactly the type of trolling he loves to dish out so much being thrown back in his face.

      So not only could he have lost supporters over the slop, the reply slop is superior. It ridicules him with Epstein while highlighting what a farce his inner circle is.

      He’s probably simmering on it every time he stops focusing on further bungling things with Iran. I hope it’s a contributing factor to some stress-induced condition that hurts like hell.

      1. Even the first time in office he’d rip stuff up, try and flush it down toilets, and even eat it. 2) There’s a lot of stuff his administration shouldn’t be able to do, so long as Rs are majority and Dems lack a spine it doesn’t matter.

        Sure. I’m aware of that, as well. It could also be investigated, possibly, if he is ever out of office and we don’t “move forward”.

        So much damage has been done and it will take generations to fix, secure and codify if we don’t want a repeat. If it isn’t fixed, it seems the next attempt would be more successful for GQP.

        Mostly yes but there were a few comments like “ugh why did he do something stupid again” so mostly you’re right, but there are cracks. And in the last 10 years, it’s the second time we’ve seen any cracks. (Epstein files was the 1st thing they started calling him out on)

        When those cracks start to form, I’m coming through with my seeds of empathy and compassion so they can learn to stop beng dickheads. I’m gonna grow empathy trees in those cracks that destroy the foundation.

        (Unrelated but the floor in our garage cracked a plant started to grow in the middle. Can you tell? Also I’m rewatching The Good Place)

    Coward.

    We all have the screenshots. This changes nothing. Here’s the URL for posterity’s sake:

    https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/116394884725149647

    And to all MAGA Christians upset by his post: Give me a fucking break.

    It wasn’t the child rape and murder but the picture of your fairy tale that was over the line? Yeah right. He’s been blasphemous since day one, and supporting him was a conscious choice by Christians. They can serve only God or Trump, and they chose Trump.

    It doesn’t matter what he deletes, it doesn’t matter what they think about him now - they are blasphemers by their own religion.

      The problem with shit like this is that all those Christians are absolutely going to vote Republican in November.

      They would absolutely re-elect him if he ran again.

      They would 100% believe him if he told them that he learned his lesson.

        I don’t think they believe him so much as they believe the propaganda about any competition to him.

        It’s been “Elect this shitty person because they are not that shittier person!” on both sides my whole life, and without ranked choice voting being national people will always pick the one their echo chamber calls a savior from the “other” they’ve been filled with fear over ignoring any decent option.

        MAGA will spawn an evangelical antisemitic movement, presumably headed up by someone less incompetent than 80yo reality-TV Trump.

        That movement and that leader already scare the shit out of me.

      Trump wishes he was that important. IMO, people of ancient times ran into douche bags just like trump back in the day and wanted to warn future generations.

      75 generations of “telephone game” and you cooked up a whole religion.

        Beatles emerged victorious. People burning Beatles albums outed themselves as fools. Story old as time.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
