Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump lashed out Saturday on his social media site, Truth Social, over Friday night’s episode of “Real Time with Bill Maher.”

In a rant against the “increasingly boring” HBO talk show, Trump griped about Maher inviting on MSBNC host Stephanie Ruhle, who the former president called a ”‘dumb as a rock’ bimbo.”

When moron who publicly bragged about acing the dementia test calls you dumb - priceless. For everything else there is MasterCard.

Misogyny isn't just a man thing! Women participate it in (against the "bad" ones) all the time.

[-] InverseParallax@lemmy.world 21 points 1 week ago

There's a reason Karen is a boomer stereotype.

[-] commandar@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

The interesting thing is that it's actually Gen X where Trump has disproportionately high support among women.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 8 points 1 week ago

Good moment to ask yourself if your mental image of "Karen" is actually old enough to be a Boomer.

[-] InverseParallax@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

No, obviously not. Because I was fucking young then.

Because when I dealt with them they were younger, now they're absolutely boomers, and they don't need to tolerate this, their husband will handle me and he owns a dealership!!!

[-] RBWells@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

What the actual fuck? That is crazy. We lived through Reagan. And both Bushes. Why would any woman my age think Trump was anyone who would make a good president?

Yeah I'm Oregon trail, I know that shit.

Speaking from experience, my sister has never been a Trump supporter until she married her now husband. Now she thinks like he does and votes the way he does. Maybe these women Trump voters just don't want their husbands to get upset. That is the Christian way, honor thy husband and all that bullshit.

[-] ripcord@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago

And/or they have zero ethics or shame.

[-] kescusay@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago

I know it's troubling, but try to remember that polling is pretty much fucked right now. The pollsters are having a horrible time trying to get statistically valid samplings, and it's quite possible that the poll in question is very much off the mark.

[-] InverseParallax@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

No, southern women adore trump, a lot are crazy and want a big strong man to tell them what to do so they don't have to risk thinking for themselves.

[-] ZombieMantis@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

More like, want a big strong man to come save them from the evil bad people. My mother is that ways, and is self-unaware enough to say so pretty directly.

[-] InverseParallax@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

That's baked in deep in some places, that's why educating women is such an existential threat.

Imagine women who don't feel helpless and have some confidence to think indepdently?!?!

[-] masterofn001@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 week ago

There's this thing (brainwashing) called tradwife.

[-] Cephalotrocity@biglemmowski.win 5 points 1 week ago

Do I want to search tradwife, or will it ruin the rest of my day?

[-] Badeendje@lemmy.world 31 points 1 week ago

It's basically women cosplaying being a 1950s traditional housewife.. and then getting surprised that the men who actually want this turn out to be massive misogynistic POS's. It's a safe search, if only for the schadenfreude.

[-] Demdaru@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

Also a lifestyle that some women assume after finding a man. Then, it works best - most of the case both parties happy, but also most of the time it's not really viable economically...unles the dude plays 1950 traditional husband, as in works his ass off

[-] WhiteOakBayou@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago

Did that 1950s husband work his ass off or could he afford a home, car and family on wage at about ~40 hrs a week? Maybe both, but, having been and known people, I doubt people worked harder back then. The switch from black and white to color did not change human nature.

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

Yeah the trick to tradwifery is either to do it as a form of bdsm or to take a concerning amount of quaaludes.

[-] Badeendje@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Sure.. plenty of people have kinks that work in their relationship. But mostly the tradwifes are not in it for the kink but for some misguided idolized view of how things would work.. they make home and take care of their man, making themselves completely dependent. Only to then find out why women's suffrage has been fighting so hard for independent self sufficient women. Because if the man turns out to be abusive, you are trapped.

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Well yes, this is partly me mocking those tradwives. I’ve known people who do it as a kink but they are wildly different in part by both parties tending to be very feminist.

Women didn’t demand the right to work because it seemed fun, but rather because it came with the freedom to leave.

[-] Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de 59 points 1 week ago

His insults are really slacking these days.

[-] ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

They have been for a long time. He comes up with a good one every once in a while. But most of them are lazy and unimaginative.

[-] Vytle@lemmy.world 52 points 1 week ago

BREAKING NEWS: MANCHILD THROWS TANTRUM AS HIS PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN GOES DOWN IN FLAMES

[-] Nightwingdragon@lemmy.world 45 points 1 week ago

But the democrats are the ones that need to turn down the rhetoric.......riiiiiiight.......

[-] Gork@lemm.ee 41 points 1 week ago

C'mon Trump, we expect better of your nicknames.

Like Meatball Ron.

[-] normanwall@lemmy.world 33 points 1 week ago

Meatball Ron was an unexpectedly good one after all his lazy ones, and I'm not even sure why

[-] andrew_bidlaw@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 week ago

Something-something a ~~thousand monkeys with typewriters~~ demented gramps spouting random bullshit. Given enough time, they are sure to produce something that sticks.

[-] paf0@lemmy.world 35 points 1 week ago

What an old-timey insult from that conniving flim-flamming charlatan snake oil salesman.

[-] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

I've told them a thousand times. Never call chicks, broads.

I'd like to ask Trump what his definition of bimbo is and why he thinks it applies to her.

Because I kinda feel like his definition would be something like "anyone I want to fuck, if only they would shut the fuck up for the thirty seconds that would take."

[-] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 26 points 1 week ago

Dude is addicted to TV. Why does he hate watch Maher?

[-] someguy3@lemmy.world 25 points 1 week ago

Yes, yes, let the hate flow through you.

[-] DogPeePoo@lemm.ee 24 points 1 week ago

If Trump were any dumber, he’d be Boebert.

He’s definitely in the dumb-dumb group with Boebert and Ron Johnson— the paint huffers.

[-] Rhaedas@fedia.io 5 points 1 week ago

Competition is fierce down at the bottom.

[-] the_post_of_tom_joad@sh.itjust.works 20 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Less normalize calling Trump a bimbo. It'd be a trip to see his blonde bombshelled bimbo ass face bimbin' out tryina see where he went wrong

[-] carl_dungeon@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago

Well, he’s a whiney old bitch who stinks and rapes women.

[-] cabron_offsets@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

lol, this guy. We should be thankful that his accelerating mental degeneration is so evident.

[-] MisterFrog@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

The number of people he's said he hates or called names because they've either supported the Harris campaign, or spoken against his, seems to be quite a lot.

Baffles me that anyone could look on and think, "hmm yes, this guy seems socially intelligent", is beyond me.

[-] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 week ago

I wanna see a slander lawsuit.

[-] Nusm@yall.theatl.social 8 points 1 week ago

As much as I would like to see it too, I don’t think an insult is legally slander.

[-] Ton@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Meanwhile, he gets another shot at being in the news cycle. This is the mofo’s M.O.: say outrageous shit, end up in the news cycle for another 24 hours, so that your opponent is not in the news…

[-] YeetPics@mander.xyz 2 points 1 week ago

Tankies sure do LOVE this weird fucker.

Must remind them of their own incompetent and weak leaders or something 🤷

[-] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Only a straightup fool would put that thing back in the hotseat

Even his insults are getting weaker.
