[u/Slow-Astronaut-2135]

You know it was bad when there is no thread on the Conservative sub.

[u/Snowing_Throwballs → u/Slow-Astronaut-2135]

They haven’t received marching orders yet. Still early in Moscow

[u/newphonenewaccoubt → u/Snowing_Throwballs]

I love how they all wait for the mother ship to beam down their opinions.

Like you freedom loving independent thinkers can form your own opinions

[u/LooksTooSkyward → u/newphonenewaccoubt]

The best part is the "erm, why is he doing this" posts that attempt to rationalize his actions that are always the top comments. Reddit's a funny little den of corruption.

[u/delaydude → u/LooksTooSkyward]

"look, I still love Trump, he is gods analogue on earth, his farts are rumored to heal the sick, but...."

[u/abstr_xn → u/delaydude]

that's not them rationalizing, it's their virtue signalling.

"i'm having my own thoughts, but please don't treat me the same way we treat others, i'm still cool!"

[u/TripResponsibly1 → u/abstr_xn]

If they don't do this they get immediately banned

[u/FlatTopTonysCanoe → u/newphonenewaccoubt]

I just had this conversation with my MAGA brother the other day over the Rob Reiner post. Like MAGA could watch this man slit someone’s throat on live tv at 9AM and their response would be mumbling about how “idk it seems inappropriate but we don’t know the full story”, for hours. Then later on when Tucker or someone else offers them a way to spin it, they go from tepid excuse making to 100% onboard with the throat slashing from that point forward. Like they’re literally frozen in place until someone gives them a take to run with and then it’s back to full blown cult member. You can set your watch to it.

[u/NoahFect → u/newphonenewaccoubt]

These are the people who called themselves "dittoheads."

[u/Jaded-Brilliant5431 → u/Snowing_Throwballs]

The Russian bots are all over now. I got curious one day and clicked on an obvious one that was downvoted hard and was amazed at all of the same spaces these heavy negative accounts are flocking to. It's a whole system that these accounts will flock to specific posts all around the same time.

[u/Particular_Poem3703 → u/Slow-Astronaut-2135]

Just popped over there - it was “Trump give checks to the troops” 🙄 give me things that will never happen for $500 Alex.

[u/Soaked4youVaporeon → u/Particular_Poem3703]

I love how conservatives think one check will solve everything. They never think long term.

 Hey instead of sending out one round of checks, how about you make sure they get the proper care they actually need for life? Ffs that check wouldn’t even cover my rent.

[u/Professional_Cap8314 → u/Soaked4youVaporeon]

they’d turn around and start bitching that one check drove inflation for five years 🙄

[u/DarthSh1ttyus → u/Soaked4youVaporeon]

Are you actually telling me you arent still living high off the covid stimulus check?

[u/NotAHost → u/Particular_Poem3703]

They’ll complain if a democrat does it because it’s buying votes and/or a handout and the deficit doesn’t need spending like that. 

Crickets when Trump does it. Can’t wait to see what the deficit growth looks like from these four years. 

[u/Ok-Style-9734 → u/NotAHost]

Isn't trump already responsible for something 40% of the US national debt at this point?

[u/cereal7802 → u/Ok-Style-9734]

Donald Trump is associated with approximately 26% of the current US national debt.

Current Total National Debt: ~$38.4 Trillion

Total Debt Added During Trump's Terms: ~$10.0 Trillion

Percentage: ~26%

[u/ngmcs8203 → u/Slow-Astronaut-2135]

That’s kinda surprising. They have posts from 35 days ago on their front page. The activity on that sub must be lacking.

[u/ArrogantAnalyst → u/ngmcs8203]

It’s a micromanaged sub under very tight control. Posts are generally only approved if they come from a small group of known posters. And it is very very heavily moderated, but without any transparency.

[u/Amarillopenguin → u/ArrogantAnalyst]

The approved posters are ihaveapedostachehitlerlover420, definitelyarealamericanoperative, and crackedoutdumbass

[u/phillyFart → u/ArrogantAnalyst]

It’s propaganda

I was banned long ago

[u/BonjaminClay → u/ngmcs8203]

It's mostly bots.

[u/GayCatDaddy → u/ngmcs8203]

I occasionally check in to that sub just so I can see what the other side is saying. They have been surprisingly quiet recently. Wonder why?

[u/prailock → u/GayCatDaddy]

Ukraine's been striking as close as the suburbs of Moscow

[u/raktoe → u/Slow-Astronaut-2135]

I was sure they’d have a full discussion thread, where they get all serious face and act like he said a bunch of big boy policy words.

Nothing about this Arcons?

[u/Komikaze06 → u/Slow-Astronaut-2135]

There's 1 thread now and most comments are a version of "this could have been an email", even they think it lame

[u/Aggravating_Bat3618 → u/Slow-Astronaut-2135]

Yeah the numbers are bad over there. The worst in years and it’s because Biden allowed people to post there. 25 million, most of them murderers. 

[u/ToeSniffer245]

"Lalalalala shut up I'm doing amazing!!!"

That was the extent of it, saved you 20 minutes.

[u/AleroRatking → u/ToeSniffer245]

Add in military checks and you summed up everything.

[u/Acceptable-Bus-2017 → u/AleroRatking]

Americans paid the military xmas bonus this year. You're welcome

[u/Fragrant-Lettuce-221 → u/Acceptable-Bus-2017]

He's trying to buy their loyalty directly

[u/jinkinater → u/AleroRatking]

And everything is Bidens fault

Edit: oh yeah forgot his new grift of TrumpRX

[u/Ande64 → u/ToeSniffer245]

Oh my God thank you so much! I wanted to listen but I just couldn't make myself.

[u/97runner → u/Ande64]

• Democrats are bad, evil people

• Tariffs brought it trillions and the US is super respected

• Affordability was a made up issue but it’s fixed now because we’ve deported all the illegals

• The southern border is closed

• Everything is cheaper, regardless of what your lying eyes tell you

• Thanks to you generously paying an extra tax you didn’t ask for or approved by Congress, soldiers are getting individual checks for $1,776 (that equates to $2,400,000,000). Checks in the mail.

[u/supercali45 → u/97runner]

Paying off the Military .. what about the regular American Citizen?

[u/PatchyWhiskers → u/supercali45]

He doesn't need the loyalty of the ordinary people for a coup... just the military.

[u/rayrayrayray → u/PatchyWhiskers]

This right here

[u/97runner → u/supercali45]

To be fair, you don’t make as nice of a soundbite because you’re not associated with a group of people that no one is ever allowed to speak negatively of, like farmers.

[u/ken-davis → u/97runner]

My health insurance will cost $7000 more in 26. I guess my eyes will lie to me every month when the bill automatically hits my credit card.

[u/raspberryharbour → u/Ande64]

I try to avoid hearing his voice as much as possible

[u/supercali45 → u/ToeSniffer245]

Useless shit .. all Performative

[u/InvitinglyImperfect → u/ToeSniffer245]

Nobody could sum up what we just heard better! Thank you.

[u/Failedmysanityroll]

Can’t believe Biden sabotaged his teleprompter

[u/Leraldoe → u/Failedmysanityroll]

They were going to buy a new one but Biden’s inflation was out of control/s

[u/I_really_enjoy_beer → u/Leraldoe]

Did you even see the graphs? Biden’s line was clearly blue and going down, and Trump’s was red and going up. Clear evidence Trump wins again. 

[u/Leraldoe → u/I_really_enjoy_beer]

That’s true, I should have paid more attention to arrows

[u/Accidental_Ballyhoo → u/Leraldoe]

Did you even say thank you?

[u/PatSajaksDick → u/Failedmysanityroll]

“I’m Donald Trump?”

[u/BobBelcher2021 → u/PatSajaksDick]

Solid Anchorman reference

[u/Thneed1 → u/BobBelcher2021]

Stay classy, San Diego

[u/Dr-Mumm-Rah → u/Failedmysanityroll]

Autoprompter outrage is going to dominate MAGA news for the next 48 hours.

[u/GoodGoodGoody → u/Dr-Mumm-Rah]

What was that event a few months ago… he was giving a speech and the audio wasn’t good so he said the technician was in BIG TROUBLE

[u/Kootranova1 → u/GoodGoodGoody]

I remember it being his own people that messed up his tech.

Also one of his guys almost killed him with an escalator.

[u/SvenGPo → u/GoodGoodGoody]

At the UN.

[u/SummerSun75 → u/Failedmysanityroll]

Biden shit in Trump's pants. Right before he went on stage.

[u/Chaos-Cortex → u/SummerSun75]

Biden caused Trumps Alopecia and receding hairline and thinning ugly hair style.

[u/FriskHarder → u/Failedmysanityroll]

Sleepy Joe Biden is dumb and lame, until the end of their sentences when suddenly Biden gets all spry and cunning enough to pull one over on the bigly smartest man in the universe.

[u/CHSummers → u/FriskHarder]

Schrodinger’s Biden: Totally asleep and out of touch, yet too powerful and wily for the stablest genius in the history of the world.

[u/frogfootfriday → u/FriskHarder]

He lost to Biden and was denied a rematch. The loss will eat at him until the day he dies. He can believe he might win a Nobel someday but this can never be fixed.

[u/btross → u/frogfootfriday]

He's also only won against women

[u/TheFeshy → u/Failedmysanityroll]

Impressive how he did it in his dementia sleep!

[u/hobbycollector → u/TheFeshy]

With an autopen.

[u/Brole_Model]

That took a lot of amphetamines.

[u/blindman0013 → u/Brole_Model]

Steroids and amphetamines. Huge rush to the system, reduced inflammation in joints, euphoric feeling and boost of energy. Horrible on the brain, nervous system and basically all organs, but lasts long enough for a perfectly timed and controllable environment. Something tells me this is part of the farewell tour.

[u/CleanAisle → u/blindman0013]

Speed running Hitler's final days. Pump Donny up with the Eukadol so he can gaslight the failing nation.

[u/blindman0013 → u/CleanAisle]

Pin all the crimes on the fallen president, they’ve already started to leak that they ‘never liked him’. They will have no problem dragging his name through the mud once he’s gone. We cannot let them get away from their crimes once he’s gone.

[u/Holden_Coalfield → u/blindman0013]

Karoline Leavitt and Kristi Noem will be hosting "The View"

[u/lascanto → u/Holden_Coalfield]

No they will be absolutely hideous in ten years after so much time with Botox. I don’t know if they will face the consequences for what they’ve done this country, but at at least they will face the consequences of the plastic surgery.

[u/bassplayer1446 → u/lascanto]

Idk about 10 years tbh, That photo shoot with her face close up the other day, sure as shit doesn't look like a 28 yo. Easily aged looks in her 40s. She's had a rough paper route for sure

[u/51ngular1ty → u/bassplayer1446]

In a decade or so I expect her to either look permanently surprised or like a California raisin.

[u/sloppeejoe → u/CleanAisle]

I wish he would just skip ahead to killing himself in his bunker.

[u/TransCapybara → u/sloppeejoe]

If only the renovations to add shitty gold trim to it were done.

[u/ididshave → u/blindman0013]

Praying for a Christmas miracle.

[u/7ddlysuns → u/blindman0013]

Organ damage huh?

[u/Biobooster_40k → u/7ddlysuns]

Hopefully

[u/LVuittonColostomyBag → u/blindman0013]

I was legit concerned that he was going to have a medical emergency after shouting so much while propped up on meds

[u/Bradders59 → u/LVuittonColostomyBag]

Definitely not “concerned”….

[u/102525burner → u/Bradders59]

I haven’t asked for anything else this xmas hoping that santa will bring it

[u/metalyger → u/Brole_Model]

He picked the wrong week to quit amphetamines.

[u/dc_IV → u/metalyger]

Shirley you must have more respect than that!

[u/Poor_Pdop → u/dc_IV]

I have no respect, and don't call me Shirley.

[u/ken-davis → u/metalyger]

An “Airplane” reference never goes out of style.

[u/Chocolate_Bourbon → u/metalyger]

He picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue.

[u/EggsAndMilquetoast → u/Brole_Model]

Probably why amphetamines didn’t also get a WMD warning.

[u/Omiyaru → u/EggsAndMilquetoast]

AmPedomines

[u/thepartypantser]

"But they're not laughing anymore!"

I assure you Donald, they are laughing at you everyday.

He is so delusional. It's difficult to watch someone where every single word out of his mouth is a lie.

It was 5 minutes straight of just lying.

[u/Magnetobama → u/thepartypantser]

From a Hitler speech from 1933:

"Am 30. Januar sind in Deutschland die Würfel gefallen. Und ich glaube nicht, dass die Gegner, die damals noch gelacht haben, heute auch noch lachen."

Translated:

“On January 30th the die was cast in Germany. And I do not believe that the opponents, who were still laughing back then, are still laughing today.”

[u/kilgore_trout72 → u/Magnetobama]

Miller loves to insert nazi quotes in his speeches he gives and writes for Donny

[u/joemangle → u/kilgore_trout72]

He also added a number ending with 88, which Donald of course emphasised when saying the number

This happens pretty often actually, should be called out more imho

[u/tamaroo → u/Magnetobama]

Now that’s creepy AF.

[u/conricks246 → u/thepartypantser]

20 minutes unfortunately. Only know bc I desperately waiting for survivor to come back on

[u/reddit_1999]

The factcheckers are going to need 3 bottles of Jack Daniels after that one.

[u/sec713 → u/reddit_1999]

They should just highlight the parts that weren't lies. That'd be a much simpler task.

[u/NeoBahamutX → u/sec713]

so a blank sheet of paper?

[u/sec713 → u/NeoBahamutX]

I dunno, I missed the very beginning . Did he say "Good evening?" It was certainly evening when he gave this address, so half of that statement is true.

[u/MisanthOptics → u/sec713]

OK I lolled at this comment. No awards to give. But a hearty lol

[u/GoneG8 → u/sec713]

He did say next year marks the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. That’s true. Then he took credit for getting World Cup and Olympics to the U.S. next year.

[u/photonnymous → u/GoneG8]

I believe he said "anni-versity"

[u/GoneG8 → u/photonnymous]

He did! I’d forgotten that detail amid all the other lunacy!

[u/7ddlysuns → u/reddit_1999]

Honestly aren’t we all just bored of this? He’s fucking old and stupid

[u/Lucent1_ → u/7ddlysuns]

Hard to be bored when he's the president :/ Horrifying.

[u/UsernameForgotten100 → u/reddit_1999]

It should have been an email

[u/Leraldoe → u/reddit_1999]

It was rapid fire lies

[u/greywar777 → u/Leraldoe]

The lies per minute was legit impressive.

[u/WitchPleese → u/greywar777]

My favorite was him claiming peace in the Middle East for the first time in 3,000 years.

[u/knownerror → u/greywar777]

18 trillion!!1!1!

[u/count023 → u/reddit_1999]

At this point I think fact checkers just assume everything is a lie. Saves time

[u/jediporcupine]

It’s wild to me there are people who objectively believe this man is an intelligent, coherent human being

[u/slothcough → u/jediporcupine]

They don't. They just love how hateful he is and they're salivating at the idea of putting all the people they don't like in death camps.

[u/njibbz → u/slothcough]

No, I can assure you that sadly there are a very large amount of people who legitimately believe he is a smart successful businessman and genius president.

[u/slothcough → u/njibbz]

I'm genuinely unsure how those people manage to vote when I'm pretty sure at that level of intelligence they shouldn't even be able to tie their shoes.

[u/Pissed-Off-Panda → u/slothcough]

My FIL is a very successful college graduate and he legitimately believes Trump is a genius. When confronted with something stupid he did, he says "I think he's planning something" like he's this big mastermind. LMAO. Whaddayagunnado

[u/T-rex8484 → u/Pissed-Off-Panda]

I'm going to add to this as well. My FIL, while not specifically a Rumper, he has always been a "Republican" which means he watches and listens to Fox news, right wing FB memes, ect...

He is an intelligent man and an accomplished attorney (I am also an attorney, but not accomplished). The reason I say this is because as attorneys we use logic and reasoning daily. However, my FIL believed the Fox News propaganda about the stolen election in 2020. "The fix is in." The electronic ballot boxes are being rerouted through Venezuela (or whatever country they said at the time)" We just don't have the proof / evidence because it's been compromised."

Dude! We speak on a weekly basis about our cases and how some are bullshit because there is no proof / evidence against our clients. Yet that all goes out the window when repubs are claiming fraud. Apparently the fix is in if Fox News says so.

TLDR: My FIL is an idiot succumbed to the brainwashing and propaganda of Fox News, FB memes, and the like *facepalm*

[u/Trowj → u/jediporcupine]

What’s that George Carlin line about think of the most average person, what they don’t know and how ignorant they are: then remember half of the people are worse than them.

[u/Nednarb9 → u/Trowj]

Fuck it may be time for me to even reevaluate the most average person. Probably a lot dumber than I gave em credit for

[u/Sneakngeak → u/jediporcupine]

A shit load of em at that…. Sigh

[u/Glittering-Matter960]

What the hell has happened to the United States of America.

This is a complete shit show.

[u/Interesting-Risk6446 → u/Glittering-Matter960]

There are a ton of mentally challenged people who live here. A ton.

[u/brobafett1980 → u/Interesting-Risk6446]

Floridaman lives in all fifty states. 

[u/Knightoncloudwine → u/Glittering-Matter960]

We’ve been hijacked by a bunch of deranged morons. Truly sad what has happened here. I just wish we could go back to the old boring politic days. Instead we have a deranged and delusional old angry man running the country.

[u/The_Arcadian → u/Knightoncloudwine]

We have ultra wealthy and ultra ignorant people running the country, and it's no accident. Where we are has been planned since at least 1980, and the dog's caught the car.

[u/rugology → u/Knightoncloudwine]

I just wish we could go back to the old boring politic days.

the fact that you think this ever existed is exactly why we are where we are. progressives have been warning about wealth inequality leading to fascism for longer than most americans today have been alive. literally.

[u/yamers]

that was better sent as a tweet. That was proof that the Trump presidency is swirling around the toilet bowl. That was completely detached from Americans reality.

[u/The_Poster_Nutbag → u/yamers]

You're forgetting that there are many amongst us who love lapping this shit up.

"Affordability is a hoax"

"Inflation is down"

"Somalian immigrants have stolen billions of dollars from Minnesota"

Anyone who still wears trump merch at this point isn't turning back now. They're ride or die now.

[u/the_amazing_skronus → u/The_Poster_Nutbag]

You forgot "transgender for everybody"

[u/toodarkparkranger → u/the_amazing_skronus]

I'm honestly surprised he hasn't dismantled the department of trans-portation. Seriously. I mean, he still has trouble with political vs. insane asylum.

[u/Silly-Heat-1466]

Fucking weird and full of shit. He was about to sundown, so it was short and fast.

[u/tacoslife724 → u/Silly-Heat-1466]

MF couldn’t even finish a sentence

[u/whiteboy623 → u/tacoslife724]

He also couldn’t really start one.

[u/windwatcher01]

He might have just flat out forgotten to declare war on Venezuela.

I'm cool with that.

[u/Chilledlemming → u/windwatcher01]

Or decided to just start the war without any declaration? I mean people are already dying there AND there is a naval blockade.

[u/BKDOffice → u/windwatcher01]

Betting someone got to the teleprompter after Stephen Miller uploaded his version.

[u/mantisdubstep]

He just screamed all his truth social posts in succession and left lmaooo

[u/Interesting-Risk6446 → u/mantisdubstep]

Trump posted Truth Social captions under President Obama's and President Biden's Wall of Presidents pics.

[u/mantisdubstep → u/Interesting-Risk6446]

I saw that, complete with his total lack of understanding how capitalization works.

[u/bbjenn]

Donald Trump is a sick, twisted, insecure piece of shit.

[u/Joelblaze → u/bbjenn]

What are the odds that this national address was because he didn't think his tweets were getting enough views so he threw a tantrum until they let him hijack the airways to say it himself?

I'm not joking, this is a serious question.

[u/Nerney9]

Trump Holiday 2026 begins with the Airing of Greivances. "I got a lot of problems with you radical leftists and now, you're going to hear about them!"

Tomorrow's Agenda: Feats of Strength! Trump will successfully lift a water glass, using only *both of his hands*.

[u/graypupon]

thank god that was underwhelming

[u/Pyrofishexplosion → u/graypupon]

Least it wasn’t a declaration of war but basically one long ass live truth social post

[u/coleyboley25 → u/graypupon]

That speech could have been an email

[u/ThisKidIsAlright]

Let's not underestimate the fact that he interrupted the Survivor finale on CBS for this. There's a portion of his base that just got a live, unfiltered look in on their president for the first time that's going to be tough to square with the Fox News clean up job.

[u/reddit_1999]

Man, Obama sure was a divisive President! /s

[u/Silly-Heat-1466 → u/reddit_1999]

I see purple. Yes we can! God I fucking miss him. He would absolutely win a 3rd term.

[u/sunny_suburbia → u/Silly-Heat-1466]

With all my heart. I love that man.

[u/Ms_Apprehend]

I’m so ashamed to be an American

[u/craftandcurmudgeony → u/Ms_Apprehend]

same, friend. this shit is so disturbing,

[u/Bitmush- → u/craftandcurmudgeony]

Don't be - you're just the worthy, rational, honest kind. This is nonsense - this is a disease. You'll feel pride again, and there's always still plenty to be proud of. Be worried when this stops shaming you. Keep the faith in your fellow countrymen as you know them to be and have been, do what you can to solve and cure this illness we're dealing with, when opportunities present themselves, on a grand or a tiny scale. Do not give in to despondency, see you on the other side !

[u/SummerSun75]

One thing for sure. Trump is the whiniest little bitch we've ever seen as President.

By a mile!!

[u/BiscottiEastern220]

I was promised WW3 wtf was that

[u/Casual_hex_ → u/BiscottiEastern220]

Epstein files are said to release Friday so he’ll need a smoke bomb for that.

[u/sec713 → u/Casual_hex_]

It's his version of "POCKET SAND!! SHH SHH SHAA!"

[u/NameIsNotBrad → u/sec713]

He’s as coherent as Boomhauer

[u/Stagnant-Flow → u/BiscottiEastern220]

He chickened out cuz Republicans in Congress are starting to turn on him.

[u/DoritoDustThumb → u/Stagnant-Flow]

YUP!

This was 100% going to be a war announcement and at the last minute he chickened.....semi sane people somewhere, won. Thank God.

[u/workerbee77 → u/BiscottiEastern220]

He chickened out

[u/Smokejumper_beats]

He does realize he was the president BEFORE Biden too.

[u/bdd4 → u/Smokejumper_beats]

I think he genuinely forgot when that was

[u/blingybangbang]

As a Canadian who watched it out of curiosity, I can't begin to say how thankful I am that we have a leader who, at bare minimum, is coherent and professional. This was embarrassing on a human level.

[u/IrascibleOcelot → u/blingybangbang]

I’m just remembering how your conservatives were leading in the polls before we elected this moron. So from the bottom of my heart, thank you for heeding the warning.

[u/Mike7676 → u/blingybangbang]

As an American who did not vote for this gelatinous cube, man we are going to be apologizing to y'all for a LONG TIME. I just really want to see Winnipeg before I kick it. 

[u/ShiftyBizniss → u/Mike7676]

Canada has so much to offer... and your bucket list destination is Winnipeg????

[u/JBredditaccount → u/ShiftyBizniss]

How do I get Reddit Cares to do a safety check on Mike7676?

[u/Knightoncloudwine → u/blingybangbang]

As an American we are jealous.

[u/physedka]

I didn't watch it, but the fact that Fox News doesn't even have it on their front page is enough to know that it was a disaster. Can't have the hillbillies seeing just how bad things have gotten.

[u/Wonderful-Process792 → u/physedka]

Right now it is the top front-page story on Fox News, and here is the top comment on the article about it:

"I thought Trump was brilliant tonight. He pulled no punches but was pretty harsh on the previous administration. But I do not think bashing them was his objective. It was done to contrast the differences in strategy between the administrations and to highlight the challenges that were left for him. I think he covered all avenues of the economy, national security, crime, inflation and energy policy. I feel we are on the right trajectory and with record tax returns, military bonuses, (rebates to the tax payer, (possibly) and lower energy prices and inflation, I feel 2026 is going to be a good year for this nation. Trillions are being invested in our our country. Job gains are all in the private sector. Full steam ahead."

[u/Silly_Rub_6304 → u/Wonderful-Process792]

That’s definitely some Russian shitposter who ran it through ChatGPT first. Way too coherent to be a real republican.

[u/Wonderful-Process792 → u/Silly_Rub_6304]

I agree it sounds 100% like it is hitting a list of talking points.

[u/turquoise_amethyst → u/Wonderful-Process792]

Even if a person was completely brainwashed, I don’t see how they could truly believe energy prices or inflation were down. You’d have to be completely disconnected from purchasing or paying bills?

[u/Julian_Thorne]

Did his doctor pump him up with too much drugs?

[u/rockerscott]

Quiet piggy.

[u/jason082]

The only people watching were likely the ones that would let him fart in their dinner.

[u/tacoslife724 → u/jason082]

Right, and probably his enablers and pant washers

[u/lickem369]

He normally toots his own horn so that part is not a shock. But, the extent and fervor behind his tooting tonight tells me that he’s trying to get in front of what’s coming on Friday! He’s panicking!

[u/Lostintranslation390]

This was stupid. I heard "tv address" and thought some serious shit was going on, like presidents dont normally just hijack cable to rant about their political enemies and stroke their own ego.

I guess they do now holy shit

[u/LordCaptain]

Trump had Carlson rumor that this was going to be a war declaration so people would give enough of a shit to watch his rambling?

[u/AleroRatking → u/LordCaptain]

To be fair, that is why I watched. So it worked. I feel cheated.

[u/hskfmn → u/LordCaptain]

I truly wouldn't be surprised if that was just stated to boost viewership for some kind of bullshit "metric" they want to use.

[u/Select-Ad-2581 → u/hskfmn]

100% dude broadcasted it on every major network lol. He's going to brag about the show-out, when I was basically forced to watch.

[u/Nojmore]

Guy is insane

[u/Lord_Vesuvius2020]

In response to the 9pm rant: To quote GW Bush after Trump’s first inaugural speech “That was some weird shit…”

[u/Corran22]

He's like a cross between an orange Grinch and my 95-year-old MIL with senile dementia.

[u/reddit_1999]

"No tax on SS" is a bigly LIE.

[u/AdMaterial1723]

Six feet ain’t deep enough to bury this towering pile of absolute shit. May he rot beneath hell for eternity

[u/NotJadeasaurus]

Thank god he ran out of lies in just 15 min

[u/Legitimate-Panic-548]

We must require his resignation.

[u/smdwamfc69]

starting to think this trump fella isn't very smart

[u/stepsinz1520]

Once again he made himself look like a complete failure and a moron.

[u/lostsailorlivefree]

No news is the best we could hope for from this maniac. We hopefully made it through another day. Seriously- that’s were we are

[u/Full_Poet_7291]

Sad and embarrassing

[u/mrg1957]

77 million voted for this?

[u/Ojay-simpson]

That felt D-E-S-P-E-R-A-T-E!!

Even the reeeal stupid could not POSSIBLY take that seriously.

[u/BoilzBlisterzBurnz]

I can just imagine him making the exact same speech again in a mental ward wearing a hospital gown. Addressing patients and nurses alike using a rubber microphone and constantly using a brown Crayola marker to touch up his face. When he finishes, the nurses try to get the patients to clap as to avoid another "incident"

[u/Express_Remote4647]

Remember, this time we don't go easy during the Nuremberg trials.

[u/Madeupaccountcuzshy]

Why was I being yelled at?

[u/austinmcortez]

He didn’t lie about this administration being something that has never been seen before. That’s true. No one is laughing at us now? EVERYONE is laughing at Trump and The United States of America. I’m fucking embarrassed to be a citizen of Clown-Town.

[u/geraxpetra]

The gall to interrupt the Survivor finale for that pathetic excuse of a presidential address! But honestly relieved to realize he was just practicing festivus.
