I think I stopped being amused at Trump's verbal diarrhea around the time he emerged as the front-runner of the 2016 GOP primary.

Considering how many more people died from COVID than needed to, simply due to Trump's actions (and inaction), he's technically a mass murderer more than a serial killer.

Trump killed more Americans than Osama Bin Laden.

[–] diabetic_porcupine@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

How may Americans did osama kill?

Between 3,000 and 10,000, depending on how you much blame you want to give him for the resulting Afghanistan and Iraq Wars. Reasonably, closer to 7,500, since the Iraq War was a bizarre Bush nonsequitur and probably shouldn't be counted.

... though arguably many of the casualties of the Afghanistan War wouldn't have happened if we hadn't shat on all the post-9/11 international goodwill we had by invading Iraq under false pretenses.

& a infant murder Co conspirator.

.........wait, are people just NOW realizing this?

It's not funny when white Americans are suffering

[–] binarytobis@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

I have to assume this screenshot was taken ten years ago.

[–] laranis@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 day ago

I couldn't even bring myself to laugh at him shitting his pants in the oval office. And that's objectively funny. The previous and next thing on the scroll was how ICE is terrorizing Americans and the AI bubble needing to burst. Just not in the mood for a giggle.

It was never funny with Donny, it was always hateful since he came down his gold plated escalator.

[–] Zachariah@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He was a piece of shit from the beginning—well before any presidential aspirations.

[–] JamieDub86@piefed.social 3 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Did people always know this? I dont think he was talked about much before his presidential campaign.

[–] FinalRemix@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

At best he was a gameshow host with a failed casino, failed steak venture, shitty boardgame, and was known (at least here in Atlantic City) as completely fucking radioactive. You DO NOT do business with him if you wanna be paid.

That's what I knew of him well before all this shit.

I didn't know much about Trump's entire existence because I was not wealthy nor in New York.

Please tell me you're joking

[–] cv_octavio@piefed.ca 4 points 1 day ago

Central park 5 would like a word in edgewise there.

[–] huppakee@piefed.social 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

... unless he shits his pants on live tv.

[–] FreddiesLantern@leminal.space 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Probably has multiple times by now…

[–] thatKamGuy@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Well at least once that’s publicly documented!

[–] Quetzalcutlass@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Link for anyone who wants to experience a little schadenfreude. It audibly happens a bit past thirty seconds in, then he immediately ends the press conference and shoes everyone out.

[–] Floodedwomb@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

Holy shit guy, welcome to 2016.

[–] taldennz@lemmy.nz 16 points 1 day ago

Hysterical laughter is excusable. Something has to give or you'll pop a blood vessel.

It gets crazier by the day.

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 5 points 1 day ago

I never laughed at anything he said.

The thing is, laughing at them is one of the most powerful non-violent tools we have. I'm not saying everything should make you laugh, but when people laugh at him and mock him it's more damaging than trying to "gotcha" moments him and his followers.

[–] Ryanmiller70@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 day ago

This is basically my reaction whenever some new dumb thing happens with him that's not actively harmful so everyone just clowns on him for it. Like yeah ha ha he shit himself like every old dude. Does this get us closer to chopping his damn head off?

[–] xxce2AAb@feddit.dk 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That disturbingly implies that at some point, this individual did.

[–] huppakee@piefed.social 1 points 1 day ago

I'm also guilty of laughing about the crazy shit he did, to be honest.

No one does.

But Donald's golf buddies have bought up all the media outlets, so the only sources reporting on the problems with the Donald admin are alternative media. Therefore, get on Youtube and start searching. I'd recommend starting with Breaking Points or Drop Site Media. Ryan Grim, though not terribly charismatic, does great reporting and for bonus points, he once clocked Jesse Watters in the face.

Not just that. There's a real possibility we might be the only intelligent life in the universe, and that arsehole is an existential threat. Think about that.
