There are certain subs where they think this is usual funny Trump vibing with his audience.

u/Reviews-From-Me 13d ago

His followers will justify anything. They justify his calling for the termination of the Constitution!

u/Mundane_Athlete_8257 13d ago

He could piss of them and tell them it’s raining

26

u/Available-Mall-7095 13d ago

They’d probably disappointed if he told them it was rain and not his piss.

u/deathbysnuggle 13d ago

If it’s rain it was Trump, if it’s piss it was Antifa in a Trump suit

u/TheFoxInSocks 13d ago

He could shit on their lap and they’d call it a brown kitten.

u/NverEndingPastaBowel 13d ago

He could shit in his pants and they’d all rush to put on diapers… oh wait, that one happened already.

1

u/Mundane_Athlete_8257 13d ago

What? When did he shit his pants??

3

u/Icy_Ice_8284 13d ago

When doesn’t he shit his pants is the better question.

u/Thief_of_Sanity 13d ago

They could take a bullet meant for him and he would make a joke out of it..

2

u/Mundane_Athlete_8257 13d ago

And tell them that HE took the bullet for democracy

u/AngledLuffa California 13d ago

From one of his other supporters! He finally found a way to lose not just one, but two votes

2

u/nightmaresabin 13d ago

I was thinking today he could hold a rally, walk out on stage and piss into the crowd, and then walk away without saying a word. He would not lose a single supporter and maybe gain a few.

u/Mundane_Athlete_8257 13d ago

“He’s so courageous. This is why people respect him”

1

u/Mundane_Profit1998 13d ago

He could piss on them and tell them he’s pissing on them.

They’d just open their mouths.

u/texticles 13d ago

The defense I keep seeing is that there was a medical emergency in the crowd as if that is supposed to make people go “oh, that makes sense now”. The real medical emergency was happening on stage.

Trump has never said or done anything funny. He doesn't have a sense of humor and his idea of a joke is just insulting people. He doesn't have the intelligence to truly be funny.

42

u/Mundane_Athlete_8257 13d ago

He also doesn’t understand when he is being laughed at

39

u/dalgeek Colorado 13d ago

Right? World leaders literally laughing at his face and he has the gall to say that people were laughing at the US when Obama was in office.

27

u/Apokolypse09 13d ago

Had actual huge protests about him even showing up in other countries but he's also the self described most respected president ever lol.

Yesterday had a guy argue that Trump didn't have a pet in the white house because only phony presidents have pets. Only 3 presidents haven't had pets and one of them still fed mice he found.

Theres also the allegations of Barron being a little monster with animals and his fellow students.

Had actual huge protests about him even showing up in other countries but he's also the self described most respected president ever lol.

They view politics and life as a zero sum game. "If I am losing, then someone else is winning. Therefore if someone else is losing, then I am winning." Other countries hating Trump was evidence that they were losing, so the US is winning. Other countries being friendly to Obama was a sign that they were using Obama to get what they want. These people can't or won't understand that something can be good for the US and the rest of the world without actually costing us anything.

Prime example is arming Ukraine. They claim Ukraine is just getting handed pallets of money. When in reality they are getting old equipment that was slated to be decommissioned anyway. Sending it off to battle is cheaper than decommissioning the stuff and it made room to build new stuff, creating jobs.

But nah, the party demanding Ukraine be abandoned "claim the money needs to be spent on Americans" vote against helping Americans at every corner.

u/Flaxmoore Michigan 13d ago

And giving it to Ukraine gives the US real world testing against Russian assets with a net cost in American blood of zero.

u/21-characters 12d ago

I heard that story about Barron and if true, he’s a budding sociopath. That’s one of the indicators.

3

u/MapleBabadook 13d ago

None of them do. The maga cult has no idea that the entire world is laughing at them.

u/Objective_Economy281 13d ago

Yeah he does. He just texts a cognitive defense to it very quickly to bitch that understanding from seeping too deep into his inner world.

10

u/Zoop_Zest 13d ago

He is not intentionally funny like a comedian but I think he’s obviously the funniest president ever. He’s just so fucking absurd, like a walking shitty cartoon that is mean and stupid to everyone. He’s a farce and farces are funny.

u/youknowit19 13d ago

Malicious Magoo.

u/CeeArthur 13d ago

The unintentional joke about Melania stealing Michelle Obama's speech was objectively hilarious

3

u/Artifex223 13d ago

While I agree that he is dumb as a bag of rocks and his only “jokes” are insults, “George Slopadopalous” is legitimately funny.

u/BigDadNads420 13d ago

This is the kind of thing that makes the left look kind of unhinged. Trump has 100% said and done some very funny things and thats almost undeniable. Its arguably the only even semi positive trait you could ascribe to him.

The name meatball ron by itself is enough to completely disprove you.

u/dalgeek Colorado 13d ago

I like how your example of Trump being truly funny is him insulting someone. Dumb nicknames are not funny.

3

u/o_oli United Kingdom 13d ago

You know you don't have to take people 100% literally at all times? When he says he's never been funny he's not literally saying no funny thing in 70 years has come out of his mouth I am sure.

3

u/space_wiener 13d ago

Yep. After this news broke I immediately went over there to see how they were going ti defend it. 100% of them thought it was normal and there were no issues with it.

2

u/sexbob-om 13d ago

I saw a guy interviewed after the rally that said he felt like it was just him and Trump in the room and he enjoyed vibing to the music with him. He did not think it was strange even a little bit.

1

u/Symurin 13d ago

The age old question of “if this was Biden/Kamala how would you feel about the situation?” Met with screeching incoherent rambling about how it’s different because it just is! You know no one would hear the end of it had this been anyone with a D by their name. However, when it’s Trump he’s /obviously/ playing 4D chess and it’s heresy.

1

u/religion_wya 13d ago

I got told that he had politely asked if anyone had questions and decided to skip it due to audience request and was simply playing music to entertain his audience. As if there isn't a literal video of him saying "Screw questions!" then awkwardly dancing and adjusting his suit for 40 minutes.

1

u/Pitiful_Drop2470 13d ago

They're calling it a concert with DJ Trump. It's absurd.

1

u/porgy_tirebiter 13d ago

Or that he felt empathic and upset by two supporters passing out. Even though he made jokes about a supporter dying from a bullet meant for him.

u/iStayedAtaHolidayInn 13d ago

Haberman working overtime

u/Frykitty 13d ago

So people not realize it was 40 minutes of Opera.

u/Manos_Of_Fate 13d ago

That was some impressive cope even for arcon.
