dotard /dō′tərd/ noun

  • One whose mind is impaired by age; one in second childhood.
  • An old person with impaired intellect; one in his or her dotage.
  • An oldster in his dotage; someone whose age has impaired his intellect.

Looks like a toddler who is actively shitting his diaper (probably is). Best part is he was recently talking a bunch of shit about Spain and now they won "his" world cup.

The Spanish newspapers already removed him.

If only the vanishing was temporal...

[–] sachamato@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

Vanish him out of the country

lol, that picture is fucking hilarious Mr Magoo wandering around with a shit eating grin while people try and keep gramps out of the picture.

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 23 points 1 day ago (1 children)

its funny how the team thinks its funny. I would say its sad that everyone outside his yes man circle is laughing at him and thinks he is a loser except of course I can't feel bad for him. he is like every loser trope in old comedys. like frank burns and such.

I agree with this comment.
It would be sad ...if he didn't rape children.

[–] Tiger666@lemmy.ca 1 points 15 hours ago

Eat and rape, dont forget about the "jerky".

This is a real caption by The Guardian

[–] ms_lane@lemmy.world 35 points 1 day ago

He got his golden shower!

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 32 points 1 day ago (4 children)

Yeah, sorry Spain.

Our doddering, demented, stupid president has no sense of tact, and I suppose we should be glad Kash Patel wasn't in camera range either.

This reminds me of the #UnwantedIvanka memes from his first term, when they were trying to groom her to be his successor before they realized the whole fucking world hates her.

I was a.azed he stayed for the whole game, his motivation must have been anticipation of stealing the spotlight at the end.

Fifa world cup is an elites-only event. He was there to play king of the Uber rich. He can't resist. https://bsky.app/profile/joshsternberg.com/post/3mr3f4uczgc2s

[–] YouTalkinToMe@lemmy.wtf 6 points 21 hours ago

Nah, he probably expected to get that shiny gold trophy

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 1 points 17 hours ago

He needed a good nap.

the kid throwing a tantrum on the left gets the attention, but the older kid on the right actually blows out 2 of the 3 candles in the end.

[–] SalmiakDragon@feddit.nu 10 points 1 day ago (2 children)

He's playing support, I think.

Is this real? It just screams dementia so loud. Get that man out of office and into an elderly care facility with locks on the doors.

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 2 points 6 hours ago

Malignant narcissism.

[–] cyberpunk007@lemmy.ca 52 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Dementia or insecure loser that wants to take all the credit for everything, like he's been doing this whole term.

[–] nulluser@lemmy.world 25 points 1 day ago

~~this whole term.~~ his whole life

[–] fonix232@fedia.io 30 points 1 day ago

"Stage, people, big gold thing, I remember these, I'm usually up there smiling, letsa go!"

He's always like that. An insecure little shit, desperate for attention.

Here he is shoving a world leader out of the way so he can jump in front of everyone ...

[–] Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works 119 points 1 day ago (2 children)

He genuinely doesn't know where he is, does he?

[–] krashmo@lemmy.world 66 points 1 day ago (10 children)

That's certainly what it looked like to me. Not so much "I want to be here" but "my people didn't tell me what to do after the medals". He looked like a confused old man shuffling about.

[–] fonix232@fedia.io 27 points 1 day ago (1 children)

And then MAGA turns around and starts complaining about Biden

If this were Biden the right-wing propaganda outlets would have this as their top story for a whole week.

Geriatricmaxxing.

[–] AlternatePersonMan@lemmy.world 66 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He genuinely thinks he won the world cup now. That's the way his tiny brain works.

I know it’s Trump but I really thought this was The Onion. I’m at a loss for words.

This timeline really is wild.

Like this sort of shit makes me feel like we're just entertainment for some aliens somewhere or maybe we're in a simulation that clips are grabbed from to make shows. Idk it's just so fucking dumb. Like ... Why is it so dumb? But also horrible and mean. It's just so wild to me still that our president in the USA is a rapist pedo man-child misogynist lying con man who's dumb as rocks on top of it all.

[–] pahlimur@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I grew up in a sort of non religious republican household. The answer your looking for is republican voters in the US are just stupid as fuck when it comes to reality. They live in a bubble of hatred that keeps them confused about how anything really works. Its why it's impossible to explain anything to them. Tribalism cranked up to 11.

Took me 6 years of college to stop being a republican dumb shit. I was raised so racist and sexist and I'm so glad I grew some empathy in school.
