He’s just waiting for praise and gifts. Probably sat there thinking about it.

I hope the Chinese gave him neither

[–] libre_warrior@lemmy.ml 18 points 1 day ago

He doesnt want to be woke.

[–] Bubbaonthebeach@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Abandoned key issues? For American people maybe, however I'm sure more financial goodies for himself and his family were confirmed. That was the only part that would matter to him.

His first round of tarrifs in the first term included exemptions for businesess his family runs.

Trump has officially fallen asleep on camera more then Biden.

[–] auzy1@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Even worse, one of the videos they made a huge deal about was doctored to make it look like Biden was crazy, by cutting out some of it.

Whereas, Trump is openly crazy, and we're literally waking up every morning to something weird he's done

[–] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Indeed, the vacuum between his ears is malfunctioning too.

[–] Akasazh@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

I'd suggest another type of squad, which matches the pokemon type of Charmander.

[–] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago

Oh if only he'd fall asleep and stay that way.

[–] SayJess@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 day ago

And this is the guy who projects himself as this powerful demagogue, capable of shaping the world. He’s a pathetic clown with shitty makeup on.

[–] Mulligrubs@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

It's best for everyone that we just keep him sedated and comfortable until it's over.

Remember "Sleepy Joe Biden"?

(i hate Biden too, I've had enough of 80-year-old Presidents thank you very much just my opinion)

[–] Teppa@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

When you put up two people nearly 80 years in age and an 80 year old gets elected its time to look internally.

[–] nomy@lemmy.zip -1 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Fucking brain dead "bOtHSiDeS" take.

Keep your eye on the ball or you'll keep getting played.

[–] DrSteveBrule@mander.xyz 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Saying that we shouldn't have 80 year olds running for the presidency is a both sides take?

[–] nomy@lemmy.zip -1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's an attempt to deflect and downplay the damage currently being done by saying "oh but both parties ran 80yr olds" as if that's the problem and we don't have an army of 50yr old fascists eager to take center stage.

[–] Mulligrubs@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

None of this damage could be done without Democratic help. They could have used the "nuclear option" when Biden was President, for example. Trent Lott (R) started calling it "nuclear option" in 2000s, and bOtH sIdEs adopted the term quickly because it scares the proles half to death.

It's a simple majority vote, a parliamentary rule. Before Trent Lott (R), it was called "the constitutional option."

Democrats are playing good cops, open your eyes and see. They are all looting us right now.

Please vote! I do too, but you should know the Ds won't save us.

[–] Mulligrubs@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

"bOtHSiDeS" are absolute shit, how can you be so blind?

They're not the same, but they are both absolutely embarrassing.

Oh, sorry, forgot. "eMbArAsSiNg TaKe".

[–] whyNotSquirrel@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I do hatethis guy as everyone else but I have hard time to believe a picture like this out of contest.

People do blink, so it's easy to take a frame where it looks like he's sleeping when he's just shitting his pants

He was threatened with contempt of court a dozen or so times he kept falling asleep when he was convicted of all those felonies.

Exactly. Maybe he's not sleepy but rather just deeply enjoying the feeling if sitting in fresh shit.

[–] ZeroCool@piefed.ca 17 points 2 days ago (5 children)

Those weird sycophantic meetings where everyone takes turns praising Trump for the cameras always remind me of a classic episode of The Twilight Zone called "It's a Good Life" (s03e08). For anyone out of the loop, it's about a six-year-old kid who had god-like powers and used them to hold his small town hostage. Anyone that failed to tell him what a good boy he was and how everything he did was good and special would be "banished to the Cornfield." The similarities are disturbing.

What happened on Epstein Island stats within the White House.

I'm quite sure that if we ever allowed to see fully unredacted files we will learn that a lot of those people were involved.

I also think they got additional compromising material via DOGE (which was there to improve "efficiency")

[–] FistingEnthusiast@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Who do you think that character was inspired by?

[–] Thebeardedsinglemalt@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That's why I had to stop watching The Boys in one of the middle seasons. It got waaay too real with the shit going on.

[–] aburrito@sh.itjust.works -5 points 1 day ago

Luckily, it’s gotten terrible

[–] Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago

I've read the short story that was based on, incredibly creepy story.

[–] Apocalypteroid@anarchist.nexus 8 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I'm sorry. Everyone knows that Trump is an absolute cunt but a single frame with his eyes closed does not prove he's asleep. There was a similar claim a few weeks back but if actually go and watch the video he literally has his eyes shut for two seconds. Let's actually focus on the shit he's doing, the shit he's done rather than this low quality propaganda. RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES.

[–] michaelmrose@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It is normal when falling asleep sitting down to close your eyes open them and close them again. We've all been that tired at least once. When one is actually wakeful you blink your don't close your eyes for seconds at a time and you make active motions like looking around when different people are speaking or shifting. He appears in fact to be falling asleep.

Still, not the point. Everyone falls asleep during boring meetings. Not everyone bombs schools to distract from the fact they rape children.

[–] auzy1@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

And even more videos when they're shut a lot longer.

And at least sentence him for tax fraud. Whilst he's in jail they can handle the Epstein files too

Here is the whole video in case anyone wanted to see

[–] regedit@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Not true. He falls asleep when a group of grown ass people sit/stand around him while falling over themselves to fellate his ego. There is only one place he doesn't fall asleep and that's when there are children present.

[–] krisevol@lemmus.org -1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Have you seen that meeting? So you have a clip of him getting asleep?

[–] MnemonicBump@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

There a MULTIPLE videos. There's literally a video of this meeting with Xi.

[–] krisevol@lemmus.org 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

I saw this one, it was a very short meeting. I posted the link on a main comment.

Ask the videos I've seen he's been awake in. I've only seen small clip and still pictures but the fun videos just show him looking down.

[–] krisevol@lemmus.org 1 points 1 day ago

I looked all over YouTube and Google, i can't find a video showing trump sleeping during this meeting. You have a link?

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 days ago

Maybe he should sleep at night instead of being online shitposting

[–] lobut@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

oh look it's "sleepy joe biden"! ... no wait ...

[–] criss_cross@lemmy.world 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

At least when he’s asleep he can’t say stupid shit. That’s a bright side to this fresh hell?

[–] auzy1@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Yep, from my perspective as an Australian, he might be making the world more racist, but on the plus side, the AUD is climbing against USD and we're making major trade deals with China and Europe

[–] wheezy@lemmy.ml -1 points 2 days ago

Can we stop the "Trump Type" tweets? It was funny for like maybe the first week when Gavin Newsom's social media intern was doing it.
