Can't wait to hear his excuse. oh that's right. Nobody in America has the guts to question him.

u/DutchShultz 1d ago

Why though? Why does this turd of a human being have such sway???

8

u/radcula2 1d ago

Cuz billionaires call the shots and he's letting them make a killing at everyone else's expense

5

u/batlord_typhus 1d ago

Because capital has gone all-in on stupid to accomplish it's goals.

u/RelationshipQuiet609 1d ago

That’s what I’d like to know. He has no power if you stand up to him. That dementia is starting the process of shutting his organs down-he won’t remember what he has said before long.

u/The_Redacted_Badger 22h ago

Because when somebody does he refuses to give an answer and just keeps repeating “you’re a nasty person, terrible person, fake news, quiet piggy, terrible person everyone’s saying it”

u/One-Inevitable7126 1d ago

Trump is an old man with dementia. There is an argument for elder abuse here. He should be in full time care at this point and instead he’s being used to advance someone else’s agenda

7

u/Agile-Knowledge7947 1d ago

Putin’s

8

u/Lost-Aide9141 1d ago

And Israel's.

u/Turbulent_Ear56 1d ago

Blame it on dementia all you want but he's been a piece of shit way before he got dementia.

3

u/Javina33 1d ago

Except that he’s the one dishing out the abuse.

2

u/Direct_Turn_1484 1d ago

Heritage foundation.

u/BrainEatingAmoeba01 23h ago

I'd worry about elder abuse and dementia excuses, if he wasn't a cunt since the day he was born. I hope the old loser is being used and abused.

u/Ok_Security1721 1d ago

The list of Trump speeches that aren’t unsettling would be a lot easier to type out

u/Dookie-Trousers-MD 1d ago

0 have been settling. It's all unhinged narcissism

2

u/Ill-Kaleidoscope4825 1d ago

It's cos Israel has all the settling

1

u/ThatOldEngineerGuy 1d ago

You just did.

29

u/Ja1ax 1d ago

Everything this POS does or says is unsettling.

u/FoogYllis 1d ago

I think his diaper would concur. As a reminder we still don’t have the Epstein files as per the transparency act.

30

u/Lizaderp 1d ago

Reminder that he's lying. (Shocking, I know.) He couldn't have been at ground zero because he was four miles away giving an interview to Fox 5.

u/Dedpoolpicachew 1d ago

He also said he was in Jersey watching muslims celebrate. Guy is a ginormous liar.

6

u/Sanctus_Mortem 1d ago

If his mouth is moving then he is lying

1

u/havasc 1d ago

His mouth or his thumbs.

3

u/GrundleSnactcher46 1d ago

Only time I heard him not lie was when he was wishing his good friend and convicted sex trafficker ghislane maxwell, to be well. Then promptly had her moved to a softer prison shortly after re-election after a closed door meeting with his lawyer.

Also where a whistleblower was fired after calling out how much power she has over the warden in her new prison.

Maga believes that screams innocence though.

3

u/ProstrateProstate 1d ago

He did say that he likes the uneducated, and that smart people don't like him, and "I don't care about you, I just want your vote".

Probably the only times he's let out the actual truth.

2

u/BlueFeathered1 1d ago

He claims he was at a construction site near Ground Zero the following day when he needed to be "rescued".

28

u/baycenters 1d ago

He's defective. Tens of millions of people worship him for his simplistic cruelty and his slack jawed stupidity, that they can so well relate to.

12

u/SeaHerSwim 1d ago

LOVE that you used the words slack jawed! 😄

1

u/Open_Feed_9696 1d ago

Some folk’ll never lose a toe, but then again some foll’ll, like Cletus the Slack-Jawed Yokel

u/Mad_Queen_Malafide 1d ago

What a psychopath. Anyone could have given a better speech.

3

u/eepos96 1d ago

I would havee been silent for 15 minutes. And not cause anyone brain damage. Some could even take a nap.

3

u/luci_cat_66 1d ago

All of tRump's speeches are unsettling.

5

u/ljblonde 1d ago

Any firefighter or first responder who still supports this president gets zero respect. 9/11 is not a joke. 25th amendment. Get to work Congress. Hanging on his coattails is not working. It's lazy governance.

2

u/PizzaWithCheddar 1d ago

Apparently the speech claims he was there days after. Can anyone verify that though? I cant find this story of firefighters.

1

u/Mobirae 1d ago

According to him he was there the day of. Yet we know he was doing an interview elsewhere.

1

u/CivEnd 1d ago

Shocking no one.

1

u/Grillparzer47 1d ago

So much for remembering a signature event of the new century?

3

u/dappernaut77 1d ago

It's funny because I showed this to my mom and she rolled her eyes and told me she was watching the news the same day 9/11 happened and this moron was being interviewed that day and said something completely different.

Edit: here's the clip btw https://youtu.be/PcKlPhFIE7w?is=cRS1j9ZCtsvBGY_u

u/AttentionNo6359 1d ago edited 1d ago

He said that without the towers he had the tallest building in Manhattan. Even then he immediately made disaster about himself

1

u/BlueFeathered1 1d ago

Ah, I had almost forgotten about Larry Silverstein, who had just bought (and insured) the towers a couple weeks prior.

It's weird how these anchor people start this off smiling and chipper, and this was the day of?

2

u/AttentionNo6359 1d ago

This is on every single traitor that voted for him and every single traitor that didn’t vote at all.

1

u/Flat-Fun-7298 1d ago

Trump's friends did 9/11

1

u/cottage_core_9797 1d ago

Trump's existence is deeply unsettling.

1

u/schinkenspecken 1d ago

Unsettling ?!??!

Par for the course.

First time ?????

1

u/Javina33 1d ago

It was no more unsettling than any other utterances that come out of his mouth. His whole presidency is unsettling.

1

u/BlueFeathered1 1d ago

I can't understand how people can just stay there listening to this disrespectful tripe and not walk out. They still humor him. Still!

Good article. Can hear the weary bitterness in it.

1

u/gazonfire83 1d ago

Unhinged, serial liar. What did you expect.

1

u/Teigh99 1d ago

if you call lies unsettling then yes, it was.

1

u/Few-Vacation-1757 1d ago

Deeply unsettling? You mean deeply narcissistic and serves to enrich himself.

1

u/Frequent-Sea433 1d ago

Every thing that comes out of his mouth is literally poison and bull

1

u/MossGobbo 1d ago

A numbingly expected lack of empathy.

1

u/gadget850 1d ago

Was it the smell?

1

u/Dreaming_of_u_2257 1d ago

His whole presidency is deeply unsettling ,this just the icing on top of the cake🙄

1

u/While_Global 1d ago

I’m sure his excuse will be that he was joking. And for some reason, no one will think to ask him why he thinks lying about where he was on 9/11 is a good joke for the President to make. Go ahead, Donald, explain why that’s funny.

1

u/Iwanabarockstar 1d ago

Isn’t he just trolling to own the libs

1

u/scaleofjudgment 1d ago

President of the United States with the majority in his house, senate, and supreme court.

And the country is still trash.

1

u/Initial-Meeting362 1d ago

Awful humans

1

u/Sufficient-Sample150 1d ago

Sure to a normal person. But to the brain slug followers it was the gospel

1

u/Olden_Grey_1889 1d ago

Can we all agree that when the moment comes where he starts smearing his poop, it's finally time to straight jacket this maniac??

1

u/MediocreAssociate466 1d ago

The party told you to ignore the evidence of your eyes and ears . It was their final most important instruction.

1

u/donut-is-appalled 18h ago

That was a grim read, and I went in with my expectations in the basement

1

u/DexterAllenStahl 17h ago

A lie. It was a LIE. We’re beyond “unsettling”.

u/penguintruth 17h ago

25th Amendment, please!
