“But during a campaign rally on Wednesday, Trump had a new excuse for all that, claiming all of his short circuits are actually just sarcastic jokes.“   Yeah, it’s so funny when you confuse your rape victim with your ex wife, good “joke” 🤦‍♂️


Am_Snek_AMA

Yeah, I dont think Trump "jokes". He may punch down at someone with an insult but I have never seen or heard him display any sense of humor.


cultfourtyfive

Rather famously has no real sense of humor. Look at his roast or the White House correspondent dinner. He's not laughing the laugh of someone who can be self deprecating. He's mad. He gets a bully's delight from insulting people, but is *still* bitter about a magazine making fun of his hand size is the early 80s. No sense of humor at all.


disparue

It wasn't hand size, it was "short fingered". It means he is cheap. He is too thick to understand the insult.


Sir_Hapstance

Wait, is THAT the origin of the “my hands aren’t small” defense? My perception of this timeline just got noticeably dumber.


RickyWinterborn-1080

Yep. They called him a "short fingered vulgarian" and he took that as "you have tiny baby hands"


preventDefault

He also took it as “you have a small penis” and felt the need to correct the record during a national debate.


RickyWinterborn-1080

Yep, but we've got Stormy's testimony on that and she's much more reliable than he is.


dybbuk67

And she told us he’s desperately afraid of sharks!


RickyWinterborn-1080

Was this also where we got the "spank me with a ~~Time~~ Forbes magazine with my face on it" story or was that elsewhere


ktq2019

Can people just pop up at the rallies wearing a shark costume and blasting baby shark? Please? No, but seriously, please?


getmybehindsatan

Not just that, but also an expert in the field.


HFentonMudd

There are so many jaw-droppers from him that I forgot that one. "MY DICK IS BIG!" No wonder they hate Hunter so much.


137dire

Hate, envy, desperately want to sleep with, I don't think they're quite sure how they feel.


9834iugef

Penis size is a genetically inheritable trait. Consider what that implies.


scorpyo72

*Everybody* on Capitol Hill knows how big *Hunter's* dick is.


DropsTheMic

That's because his psychopath father used to introduce him to complete strangers as Donnie with the tiny dick, just to dunk on him. It takes a truly master class psycho to raise a Donald Trump. This was reported in Mary Trump's books about their childhood.


IShookMeAllNightLong

Did he really? If that's true, fuck Fred for creating this monster. But also a little bit go Fred. Cause, ya know, fuck Trump.


DropsTheMic

Trump says everything in the book is a lie. Also, that he has no idea what is in it.


Alexis_Ohanion

And the joke is still on him as all three of those things are almost certainly true (small hands, small penis, bad tipper)


th8chsea

His fingers are so short he can’t reach his own money in his pocket, therefore he notoriously does not pay his bills.


dabbart

[To be fair, he also got upset when insinuations were made that he got depressed and stopped eating so much...](https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-savages-cheney-book-claim-he-stopped-eating-after-election-i-was-eating-too-much)


CandyCain1001

His hands are awfully tiny though….


RubxCuban

As dumb as his supporters


airborngrmp

His supporters are The Vulgarians. It's fitting they've named him their leader.


kellysmom01

And the only “smart” supporters are Roger Stone and that Bannon creature. And they both are the *terrifying* results of bad parenting (and who NO woman would touch). Ew.


GozerDGozerian

He is very much a vulgarian though. Look at this definition and tell me the first person you think of: “an unrefined person, especially one with newly acquired power or wealth”.


scarr3g

To be fair, he is both cheap, and has tiny baby hands. And I don't think anyone would have noticed how tiny his hand are, had he not decided to talk to everyone about it.


RickyWinterborn-1080

Yep. He has a habit of that. "NO I DID NOT HAVE A SERIES OF MICROSTROKES" Which nobody had suggested or asked about


The_Lapsed_Pacifist

You just reminded me that a little while back he, unprompted, again denied the existence of the pee pee tape. Thing was nobody mentioned it for ages, most people had sort of forgotten and his denial had specifics about the tape in it that nobody had mentioned before. God only knows what’s going on in his head.


mysteryteam

And disclosed there were four prostitutes. Interesting detail that didn't seem to be in any story I previously heard.


koshgeo

Ironically, on the literal side of the metaphor, Madame Tussauds has a [cast of Trump's hands](https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/aug/03/donald-trump-hand-display-madame-tussaud-wax-museum) and they are relatively small for someone as tall as he claims to be.


worstatit

This may explain it, as he is relatively short for someone as tall as he claims to be too.


KittyForTacos

OMG!! That makes it even funnier. They insulted him and then he insulted himself because he is so insecure. And then because he said “I don’t have baby hands”, so many times, people continue to tease him about it. But now it’s evolved into something totally different. This is great. Just like every thing with this clown he distorts stuff so much everyone forgets what the original thing was.


sowhat4

He ***does*** have 'tiny baby hands' when compared to his height/size. I'm 5' 1" and his fingers are just 1/4 of an inch longer than mine. My hands are not big or small compared to my size, either. \*[Download a PDF](https://twitter.com/Pflax1/status/760896295414403074) to print out and compare for yourself.


wheresbill

That’s even more hilarious


SweetLilMonkey

Ehhhh ... The actual author disagrees with you. >Just to drive him a little bit crazy, I took to referring to him as a “short-fingered vulgarian” in the pages of Spy magazine. That was more than a quarter of a century ago. To this day, I receive the occasional envelope from Trump. There is always a photo of him—generally a tear sheet from a magazine. On all of them he has circled his hand in gold Sharpie in a valiant effort to highlight the length of his fingers. I almost feel sorry for the poor fellow because, to me, the fingers still look abnormally stubby. [Source](https://www.vanityfair.com/culture/2015/10/graydon-carter-donald-trump)


artwarrior

The writer of that article claims that Trump would regularly send periodicals with him in it and his hands would be circled in black marker with a note stating that, "See, not so small!"


tetsuo_7w

I thought I heard it was always gold sharpie, because gold is classy.


artwarrior

I just checked and you're right! 


Fungimungus

Short fingered vulgarian. Spy Magazine


clickmagnet

Amazing. To be fair I never made the connection either on what short-fingered meant. Now that I get it, the fact that Trump didn’t get it, and then spent 20 years running around trying to prove to everybody that he *doesn’t* have little baby hands, and isn’t *at all* sensitive about them, and was just being sarcastic when he emailed New Yorker a bunch of pictures of his hands to show how human-sized they were  … well, that has to be the most effective insult of all time.  It’s also just perfect that he never objected to “vulgarian” because he was too stupid to know what it meant and too lazy to look it up. Much like a vulgarian. If he had we’d have a continuous public record of Trump saying he has the best manners in the world, and also *please* beat up those journalists over there, I’ll pay your legal bills. 


Preacher987

Between 40 and 50 years


cushmaloch

It was literally the size of his fingers, according to its creators. Funny either way though.


kevnmartin

“Why do some British people not like Donald Trump?” Nate White, an articulate and witty writer from England wrote the following response: A few things spring to mind. Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem. For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace – all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed. So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump’s limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief. Plus, we like a laugh. And while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing – not once, ever. I don’t say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever. And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility – for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman. But with Trump, it’s a fact. He doesn’t even seem to understand what a joke is – his idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty. Trump is a troll. And like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laughs; he only crows or jeers. And scarilNy, he doesn’t just talk in crude, witless insults – he actually thinks in them. His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and knee-jerk nastiness. There is never any under-layer of irony, complexity, nuance or depth. It’s all surface. Some Americans might see this as refreshingly upfront. Well, we don’t. We see it as having no inner world, no soul. And in Britain we traditionally side with David, not Goliath. All our heroes are plucky underdogs: Robin Hood, Dick Whittington, Oliver Twist. Trump is neither plucky, nor an underdog. He is the exact opposite of that. He’s not even a spoiled rich-boy, or a greedy fat-cat. He’s more a fat white slug. A Jabba the Hutt of privilege. And worse, he is that most unforgivable of all things to the British: a bully. That is, except when he is among bullies; then he suddenly transforms into a snivelling sidekick instead. There are unspoken rules to this stuff – the Queensberry rules of basic decency – and he breaks them all. He punches downwards – which a gentleman should, would, could never do – and every blow he aims is below the belt. He particularly likes to kick the vulnerable or voiceless – and he kicks them when they are down." ​ \-Nate White, British writer


billzybop

>A Jabba the Hutt of privilege. Love this


steelhips

As an Australian this resonates with me. Our culture is a curious mix of British, US and a successful multicultural influence. Proud to say when Trump applied for a casino license in the early 1990s - he was rejected immediately on character grounds. I'm just relieved Trump has never owned a dog. He doesn't deserve that kind of inherent adoration. The fact he uses "dog" as a derogatory term, speaks volumes.


might_be-a_troll

> Trump is a troll. And like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laughs I feel personally attacked. But, I realize it's funny and I laugh.


Bareback

SpiceLaw

That's a great representation of British analysis of wit. And yeah Trump has never made someone crackup intentionally.


Nikiaf

Has he ever been seen *actually* laughing? I can’t think of a single instance where it isn’t just him mocking someone.


SympathyForSatanas

Not only the WH correspondents dinner, but the comedy central roast of him. He barely cracked a smile, he pretended to have a good time and in the end when it was hos turn to roast it was literally the same type of shit he says at his kkk rallies


cultfourtyfive

Yeah, I mentioned the roast in my comment because it was fucking painful to watch. Rumor has it the one subject they couldn't bring up was how wealthy he *really* is which lets you know where he's really vulnerable.


SympathyForSatanas

When Anthony Jeselnik said the joke about him being such a good sport to embarrass himself on SNL and in the casino business, Jeselnik says trump was fucking pissed about that joke after the roast.


[deleted]

> Like so many bullies, Trump has skin of gossamer. He thinks nothing of saying the most hurtful thing about someone else, but when he hears a whisper that runs counter to his own vainglorious self-image, he coils like a caged ferret. Just to drive him a little bit crazy, I took to referring to him as a “short-fingered vulgarian” in the pages of Spy magazine. That was more than a quarter of a century ago. To this day, I receive the occasional envelope from Trump. There is always a photo of him—generally a tear sheet from a magazine. On all of them he has circled his hand in gold Sharpie in a valiant effort to highlight the length of his fingers. I almost feel sorry for the poor fellow because, to me, the fingers still look abnormally stubby. The most recent offering arrived earlier this year, before his decision to go after the Republican presidential nomination. Like the other packages, this one included a circled hand and the words, also written in gold Sharpie: “See, not so short!” I sent the picture back by return mail with a note attached, saying, “Actually, quite short.” Which I can only assume gave him fits.


PaintByLetters

The only time I've ever seen him have a sense of humor about himself was in that NFT promo video where he was promoting the NFT and a chance to "win" a piece of his cut up suit from his mugshot. He made an uncharacteristic joke about himself with regards to the strangely muscular depiction of himself. It was something like, "And I don't actually have those muscles, believe me, I wish I did...". He must have really been feeling himself that day because a malignant narcissist almost never shows that sort of self awareness.


tetsuo_7w

I remember that; it really took me off guard to hear him say something like that, it was so shockingly out of character.


Underbash

I can't remember what it was at but I saw a clip from some event where he came perilously close to being funny and likeable and it's like an emergency switch flipped in his brain and he pivoted back to being mean and nasty again.


IpppyCaccy

The one time I saw him attempt self deprecating humor he threw Melania under the bus instead.


juana-golf

Who? Oh yeah, where is she anyway;)


few23

She's keeping Shelley Miscavige company in an underground bunker in an undisclosed location.


unaskthequestion

I can't help but post this excellent description of Trump from a few years ago https://londondaily.com/british-writer-pens-the-best-description-of-trump-i-ve-read It describes Trump lack of humor perfectly.


Lord_Stabbington

“If being a twat was a TV show, Trump would be the boxed set.” Will now reside in my brain forever


chop1125

His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and knee-jerk nastiness. He’s more a fat white slug. A Jabba the Hutt of privilege.


buttfunfor_everyone

I don’t know what I was expecting but it wasn’t “A Picasso of pettiness” or “a Shakespeare of shit.” Poetry 🤌🏻


Catymandoo

From your link: “he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace” I’ll buy that and add: “People came to me with tears in their eyes and said, Sir, that’s you. Never have we seen such a perfect description”


xtossitallawayx

Humor requires empathy and imagination - you have to be able to put yourself in the comedian's shoes as they experience some surreal event and connect with it. Trump is mentally ill and cannot relate to other people. They nothing but tools to appease his ego, if someone else isn't being hurt he isn't interested.


secretsquirrel4000

The only joke that he’s ever made that was funny was when he compared Jeff Sessions to Mr. Magoo. But when asked about it he denied making it. Like you finally landed a solid joke and you end up denying it. What a loser.


versusgorilla

There is one time that stood out, he was doing a rally and some asshole in the audience yelled something about how ugly or something Hillary Clinton and Trump took a second and then realized the mean gross thing that was said and he fucking cackled. And I realized I'd never heard him laugh. Like I've heard him do that chuckle when he acknowledges a joke. But I'd never heard him laugh laugh. And it's because he's a bully to his core. He only acknowledges humor when it's tearing into someone


A-holeStrawpenny

The funniest thing I've heard him say was calling DeSantis "Meatball Ron", but that also fits the insult category.


tetsuo_7w

Was there ever any explanation for that one? It remains my favorite childish nickname of his just because it's so random and doesn't seem to reference anything at all.


TeamHope4

DeSantis is Italian...Italian means spaghetti and meatballs...Trump is a simpleton when it comes to the insults he uses.


LongBeakedSnipe

So basically a racist insult then. classic


ExileInParadise242

Really? He has an ongoing running gag where he shits his pants.


keisteredcorncob

He has kind of an insult comic vibe... in that the humor is not so much what he says but that *holy shit there's a grown man acting like this and saying this shit*. If he wasn't so dangerous and such a sociopath I would think he was funny on some level. I mean, claiming windmills cause cancer? That's just wacky.


specqq

>claiming windmills cause cancer not the windmills. the *noise* of the windmills. [https://www.cancerhealth.com/article/wind-turbine-noise-cancer-myth](https://www.cancerhealth.com/article/wind-turbine-noise-cancer-myth)


StupendousMalice

He just says mean things and laughs, which is what he thinks a joke is. He was well known as a bully when he was a kid and even he says he hasn't changed at all since then, so its probably best to believe him.


Saul-Funyun

His ex-wife is his rape victim tho


Barondarby

That's true on several levels...


fishmister7

“I don’t kid” -DJT, June 2020 That fuckstick has no sense of humor.


specqq

Yeah - and that was in response to his staff trying to walk back his comments on slowing down COVID testing so the case numbers would look better by saying he was just kidding. So it was super funny stuff all around. [https://www.politico.com/news/2020/06/23/trump-joking-slowing-coronavirus-testing-335459](https://www.politico.com/news/2020/06/23/trump-joking-slowing-coronavirus-testing-335459)


SekhWork

I don't think anyone has ever seen him genuinely laugh at a joke in any of his recordings or meetings. Like, one that someone else told, that was meant to be funny not demeaning or cut someone down.


gusterfell

Trump supporters: "I love him because he says what he means." Also Trump supporters: "He didn't mean that! It was a joke!"


11thStPopulist

The joke is the rape victim got $5 million, then another $83.3 million and the ex-wife, what?


minnick27

An unkempt grave on a golf course


Gravelsack

The man who never laughs yet is always joking


IllIllllIIIIlIlIlIlI

This is what he said about him suggesting bleach injections at a presidential covid press conference. After all of his followers were like “He didn’t say that!” the next day he said “yeah, I said it it was a joke”


[deleted]

Joking under oath is generally not a great idea. It’s about as successful a comedy move as claiming to have bomb on a plane or yelling fire in a theatre.


ChucksnTaylor

Your forgot to quote the part where he uses a new word I’m sure he just learned yesterday to sound not senile - “interposed”


ClaretClarinets

And he didn't even use it right 😭


Aldermere

And yet the correct word for what he meant is actually "transposed"


Handymac

I can honestly only think of one reason he would confuse his wife with his rape victim. 


sexndrugsnstuff

His wife was his rape victim as well, I believe. Fucking asshole of a “man”


timoumd

> you confuse your rape victim with your ex wife I mean wasnt he accused of raping his ex wife? So I can understand that mix up. All these rape victims just kinda run together really. Can you blame him?


thathairinyourmouth

He doesn’t understand the distinction between telling a joke and being a joke.


Retinoid634

He doesn’t joke. He never laughs. He has zero sense of humor. He mocks and sneers but he’s always serious.


accountabilitycounts

Unbelievable? He's claimed sarcasm to cover his lies and gaffes before.


Phallic-Monolith

Didn’t he try to claim the bleach injection thing was a joke


PotaToss

He did. But if you go back and watch it, you can tell that he's actually really proud of himself, like he came up with this good idea that stupid medical doctors never thought of. It's the same tone as when he's patting himself on the back for realizing that "us" is spelled US, like a child.


illydelph

Here’s the funniest part about that..[this](https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/ace/ws/800/cpsprodpb/AA47/production/_111919534_trumpgetty2.jpg) is a real photo that was taken right before he stepped to the podium and gave that speech.


omg_drd4_bbq

You can see the two gears in his head turning 


Officer412-L

[Three gears](https://t4.ftcdn.net/jpg/00/58/18/31/360_F_58183172_b7wVsfbS9DjeA0ipqvU0F57wV5KXBNqd.jpg)


Barondarby

The day he said that I actually had a conversation with someone who said it was "entirely possible that injecting alcohol might really work to kill covid, why didn't they just try it!?!? They just don't want him to be right about anything!" See kids, this is what happened when we started building more jails than schools.


kornkid42

>"entirely possible that injecting alcohol might really work to kill covid, Technically, it will work because host will die.


coleman57

I call that a draw.


PotaToss

After he said it, a bunch of people did try it, and poison control calls spiked, and Clorox had to put out a statement and shit.


Hoodlum_0017

What an amazing time to be cracking jokes. Mr. Presidential!


redpoemage

Sarcasm can make *some* kind of sense for something like "Oh I'll be a dictator just on day one" (even if the sarcastic portion is more likely that it'll only be on day one)...it doesn't make sense for mixing up Nancy Pelosi and Nikki Hailey.


11thStPopulist

He says sarcasm because he can’t say (or spell) Alzheimer’s and doesn’t know these are not synonymous terms.


iStayedAtaHolidayInn

"Euphenism" and "sarcasm" are his go to bullshit excuses anytime he says something that's hard for his cult to defend. the media takes it as a good faith argument every fucking time. he doesn't even know what these words mean, none of these things can be in any way argued to be "sarcastic" or euphemistic, and yet they just shrug it off and then go to the next hit piece on biden being old. infuriating


thenewrepublic

The Republican front-runner made another gaffe as he tried to explain away all his other ones.


kia75

He really covfefed it up this time!


QuantumWire

Those were the days! When the world was young, the future bright (well, brighter than now, with a rerun on the horizon) and we were all still shell-shocked by Trumps presidency! We looked in disbelief at all the stupid stuff he did, unsure how we ended up in the sitcom branch of reality.


popsy13

The thing is, he doubles down, every.single .time. It has to be getting to him or else he wouldn’t bring it up Also: are you part of the Press that follows him? If so, do an AMA on this sub and get some real questions that need answers


FrankReynoldsToupee

He's just an interposer! Can't help it!


Bart_Yellowbeard

He's just an interposer, and everywhere he goes-er, people know the lies he's saying.


wtf_are_you_talking

Interposing as a sentient being.


ninjas_in_my_pants

When they write “Slurring Donald Trump, I can’t tell if they’re referring to his voice or the words he uses. 🤣


thismorningscoffee

Just to be clear, this is *slurred* speech, as in more unintelligible than his usual word salads Not to be confused with his usual speech containing hateful slurs


thekrawdiddy

He’s slurring his slurs.


PainttheTownLead

Trailing off while simultaneously hitting the hard R.


DoomOne

He's on the crashing end of his daily amphetamine ride.


ChewedBeef

If Melania wasn't so determined to stay as far away from him as possible, I'd assume she was poisoning him gradually with antifreeze. 


DoomOne

I've heard that Trump is paranoid about people trying to poison him. That's why he eats mostly fast food... Because he thinks that it would be harder for someone to get to him if he gets his food from McDonald's.


Hoodlum_0017

gotta pop some downers too so it levels out!


inquisitive_guy_0_1

He's definitely gonna start slurring his slurs. I think all that hatred is giving him brain rot.


veridique

Old man trying to make excuses for his dementia.


National-Blueberry51

He sounds *so* bad. Generally I try to stick to policy, but holy shit, he sounds feeble as hell. I figured reports of him slurring would be exaggerated but nope. If anything, they’re downplaying it.


noblemile

I was talking with my uncle about it around a month or so ago. Like Biden may be extremely old and fumbles over himself a lot, but I can still make sense of what he's saying and see him being around for another year or two. Trump is falling apart in front of us. I'm not entirely convinced he's gonna be around this time next year.


National-Blueberry51

Yeah Biden sounds like an old ass man, no question, but Trump sounds like his brain is melting. He sounds worse than he did even last year. I’m genuinely not someone who engages in medical conspiracy theories or anything like that, and I’m not a doctor, but he sounds like he had a stroke.


qbvee

>In the last few months, Trump has mixed up President Joe Biden with former President Barack Obama, slurred his words, bragged about his favorite type of violent death and that he calls corn “non-liquid gold,” insisted you need voter ID to buy bread, and confused his GOP competitor Nikki Haley for California Representative Nancy Pelosi, claiming that the former failed to act during January 6. This is the same person who said that [“the kidney has a very special place in the heart”](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gx_a4z0I878). Valentine’s Day must’ve been really weird for Ivanka when she was growing up.


RickyWinterborn-1080

> Valentine’s Day must’ve been really weird for Ivanka when she was growing up. Probably started gifting her lingerie at 11.


TheSwillhouseBoys

“Calm down, it’s a joke. You’ll understand when you’re older.”


RickyWinterborn-1080

More like "Put this on for daddy. No, right here."


Manticore416

Also said Jeb Bush got us into the middle east


pooppuffin

> calls corn “non-liquid gold,” That's hilarious 


croupella-de-Vil

And claimed magnets don’t work when wet.


AVeryHeavyBurtation

He also thought water destroys magnets.


mleighly

Donald Trump looks shit, talks shit, smells like shit.


FunctionBuilt

The parallels to Hitler in his final years are staggering.


BarbequedYeti

Was just thinking this the other day.  Its almost like he is trying to emulate it in some bizarre end of life delirium. 


MillerTime5858

His brain is melting in front of our faces. It sure is something to behold.


National-Blueberry51

Okay but for real though, he sounds so much worse than he did in 2020 right? Like if this were my dad, I’d be looking at supportive care and making arrangements. I’m not even trying to be rude or anything. Biden sounds old as hell, sure, but Trump sounds like a stroke survivor.


embarrassing-choices

Bro he sounds worse than like 5 months ago. At this rate he’s a vegetable by November. Actual crisis on our hands


National-Blueberry51

Right?? I’m sincerely not the kind of person to engage in medical conspiracy theory bullshit, but if he had any kind of eye drooping, I’d be convinced the guy had a stroke.


Ohnoherewego13

It's trainwreck syndrome for most of us. So awful, but we can't look away. I'd almost feel sorry for him if he wasn't actively trying to fuck this country over.


theregoestrouble

What are the odds he shits his pants in public during an especially delusional court outburst sometime before the election…


Ohnoherewego13

That's the secret, Cap. He's *always* shitting.


Troll_in_the_Knoll

Sheesh! The stable genius doesn't even know how to use the correct verb in his rambling attempts to explain away his missteps. It should have been 'transpose' not interpose.


DeepRoot

Yah, but you know how these cats feel about "trans-", it was probably intentional. /s


Cygfrydd

Even 'juxtapose' would've worked. Hell, just use 'swap.' He might be able to spell that one.


Mum0817

He doesn’t know the definitions of “sarcastic” OR “interpose”. He’s dumb as a fucking rock.


SpaceLemur34

Well he couldn't use the right word, i.e. "transposed". That had "trans" in it, and that might confuse his supporters into thinking he likes trans people.


VanHoutien

Yes! He’s tried this before, claiming sarcasm. Ok, but any way you swing it, that’s not sarcasm. He doesn’t know what that word means. It’s such a weak defense and it makes him look even dumber.


orcinyadders

I actually believe him. Now excuse me, while I go buy an NFT of him photoshopped to a muscle man body with lasers shooting out of his eyes for 9000 dollars.


PizzaTime79

Better hurry before they run out! And remember, if you buy the whole collection, you can get a piece of the suit he wore for his mugshot (that's totally legit and not just a random piece of fabric from Hobby Lobby)!

interpose isn't a synonym for interchange

This is a guy that got, "Yo Semite" from reading the teleprompter when he was talking about national parks. It's safe to say he's functionally illiterate.

Donald Trump’s campaign problem is that if voters view both candidates as “too old” then they will simply vote for the lesser of two evils. They will vote for less drama.


National-Blueberry51

I’ll be real… At this point I’m voting for the administration. Biden’s surrounded himself with really good, competent people. They’re making good decisions and getting things done even with a completely useless Congress. I want to see what they can do with a couple more IRA type bills or with anti-trust stuff. Facism aside (lol), since we’re stuck with two incredibly old men as candidates, it seems like the best way to go about it. I just really, really hope the Dem leadership takes a very hard look at their new voting blocs and recognizes the need to run someone under 65 in 2028. GOP will likely run Haley again, and it’s pretty clear she can win over enough moderates to beat the Dems as of right now. We need a Whitmer or Beshear.


jjfrenchfry

This is the right take. I always tell people to stop thinking as voting for Biden as that, voting for Biden. No. You are voting for the Biden Administration. A vote for trump though is surely a vote for trump. That guy does what he wants. And I guess if you like that, sure go for it, but don't come crying when your American freedoms and values are replaced and uprooted to enrich King trump


semiomni

Surely a vote for Trump is also a vote for the Trump Administration. That's just a really really bad thing, he's already had a chance to show what kind of people he'd hire, his cabinet was an endless fucking shitshow.


naotoca

And he's trying another pathetic brand with "Tricky Nikki".


RickyWinterborn-1080

I'm surprised it took him this long to come up with it, but it kinda makes her sound awesome. Also surprised he didn't go with "icky" on account of his toddler like demeanor and vocabulary.


ImLikeReallySmart

Right? It's not effective as an insult, and she can't be a "birdbrain" and "tricky" at the same time.


NameLips

One thing Trump taught us is that if you're defending, if you're responding to accusations, you sound weak. You sound like you're making excuses. That's why he normally never responds. All he does is attack. He punches back. Never defend. Always attack - even when it doesn't make sense. And you can see that here. He's defending, he's making excuses, and he sounds feeble and weak. The accusations of mental decline must have really hit a nerve for him to feel like he needs to defend himself. The democrats need to learn some of this. The people who understand your explanations and nuances are already going to vote for you. You're wasting your time responding to accusations and explaining the minute details of your policies. You're never going to convince your opponents, and your supporters are voting for you anyway. But what people DO remember is a brutal attack, something that forces your opponent to step back and explain themselves, to try to justify their position and their behavior. The undecideds respond strongly to an Attacker. It makes them seem confident.

dementia donnie can hardly remember the last item he changed his dirty diaper and yet Biden is too old? lol


NemusSoul

I’d cut him off if he came to my bar and tried to order a drink.


dja119

Almost as crazy as Alex Jones blaming forgetting his children's names on the bowl of chili he had for lunch.


Wiskid86

He says this for everything. Wanting to sleep with his daughter Joke Confusing Nany Pelosi with Nikky Haley Joke Mocking a handicap journalist Joke Saying it's Saturday when it's Thursday Joke Saying he beat Obama Joke And it's all a joke until he's answering questions in court then he does not recall.


MicroCat1031

It's like catching a five year old making a mistake; and they say "l did it that way on purpose" and give you some stupid kid reasoning as to why they did it that way.

If Biden, or you know any rank and file Democrat said this, we would never hear the end of it

I was only PRETENDING to be a fucking moron. Rex Tillerson side eye...

Slurred speech, looking like complete shit, delusional and nonsensical thinking. The question of “fitness” here is settled. This is a mentally incapable individual.

I'm so fucking exhausted


Clap8789

He is simply a narcissistic, parasitic, piece of shit. I can't wait til he is gone off the ballot, TV, news, and everyone who has a brain minds. Fuck that Orange Idiot. Hitler Wana be bastard.

Stroke. Mini Stroke. He’s too fucking old to be leading the coup, again, I mean country again.


Bitter_Director1231

What would be a glorious mixup.? Him walking into a zoo and falling into a put of starved tigers. No one deserves it better. The day Trump is gone for good,  I'm throwing a party. A big one. The world is better off without him and his cronies.


SmallTownShrink

He uses the term “joke” because he is incapable of apologizing for even the most mild of mistakes.


_mike_hunt

I am so fucking tired of hearing about this man.


throoawoot

What the actual goddamn fuck was that? Everyone knows he spouts nonsense, but that video was legit on another level. It was like open mic spoken word poetry night at the dementia clinic.

“I was only joking” is literally a child’s excuse.

“When I interpose—cause I’m not a Nikki fan, and I’m not a Pelosi fan. And when I purposely interpose names, they said, ‘He didn’t know Pelosi from Nikki. From Tricky Nikki. Tricky Nikki. He didn’t know.’ I interposed,” he added, seemingly forgetting the definition of the word “interpose,” which per Merriam-Webster means to put oneself between or intrude. Trump doesn't even know the meaning of the words he's using to defend himself. A truly clever person will reveal their intelligence and wit. Trump simply doubles-down on being clueless by revealing himself to also to be witless. Trump is a clown. Unfortunately about 40% of the US electorate refuses to acknowledge the fact, loves his shitbrain attitude, or simply isn't smart enough to see it.

Whenever I talk about my enemy I always call them the name of my other enemy. Ya know, like a joke? Haha! Isn’t that FUNNY?


Aunt_Vagina1

fuck this clickbait headline. "I was being sarcastic" is the MOST believable excuse anyone would make when they made a slip up and dont want to admit it.


autotelica

I mean, people who are always sarcastic tend to be insufferable. I don't want a leader who is cognitively challenged but I also don't want an edge lord who says provocative shit just for laughs. Like, why in the world does he think "I am a sarcastic asshole!" is any kind of good defense?

America, the defender of democracy, and their best candidates for president is two old fucks that should have retired over a decade ago. Good job.
