What stupid shit has Trump done today?

[MickiQ]

They are trying to make us like them again. Right now, they are pushing ketchup flavoured ice cream.

That sounds utterly vile

While bragging about light bulbs and rolling back environmental regulations

When “I signed that legislation I had many farmers and construction workers standing behind me; people that haven’t cried since they were a baby,” he said.

“Some of them never even when they were a baby, and they were crying. We gave ’em back their life.”

Weird how Trump knows which people cried as babies and those who did not.

Trump not ready to commit to election results if he loses

“First of all, I’m not losing, because those are fake polls,” Trump said.

Trump not ready to commit to election results if he loses

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump is refusing to publicly commit to accepting the results of the upcoming White House election, recalling a similar threat he made weeks before the 2016 vote, as he scoffs at polls showing him lagging behind Democrat Joe Biden.

Donald Trump v Fox News Sunday: extraordinary moments from a wild interview

Facing a feared interviewer, the president ended up insisting that identifying an elephant proved his mental capacity

www.theguardian.com

This was choice, on Trump's cognitive test:

Trump, 74, responded by asking that Biden, 77, immediately take a cognitive test. The president said last week that he “aced” an unspecified test. It is assumed he is referring to a cognitive assessment from 2018. Wallace, 72, said he had also taken the test, after seeing the president had.


“It’s not the hardest test,” he said. “They have a picture and it says ‘What’s that’ and it’s an elephant.”

The master stroke was getting Kanye to announce he’s running thereby splitting the anti-trump vote!

hmmm...given that Kanye is actually both quite right win g, and more than a bit of a bell-end, that would e more likely to eat into trump's vote?

All crocodilians.

Trump maybe thinking "islands" on the latter...

Trump did say that the last five questions were really hard. Didn't say what they were though

 

[Raheem]

Trump did say that the last five questions were really hard. Didn't say what they were though

Seems like for most versions of the test, the last five questions are:

*What year is it?
*What month is it?
*What day of the week is it?
*What is the name of the building we are in?
*What town are we in?

 

[petee]

Trump's campaign tactic of explicit racialization began a little bit ago and he went full into it today. two examples:



sharpton is a complete skell, but that's not trump's point obv. Pershing, Grant, or Eisenhower might do, all have marks against them, but did the "president of tbe US" forget who they were?

(also ...

)

second:



it's this: The 1619 Project - Wikipedia

it'll be a sop to his voters that he pretended not to know.

 

[petee]

and here's the brain test

Quiz: Could you pass Donald Trump's cognitive test? - BBC News

The US president has aced a test that casts light on his brain health. How would you fare?

And they say Americans ‘never quite got The Fall’

Apart from his innumerable other failings, the man is depressingly illiterate.
"Presidential harassment' can only mean harassment by, as opposed to of, a Prresident.

Hard to tell with it's mouth open but shovel shaped rather than pointy mouth means probably an alligator/caiman (alligatoridae). Crocodiles (except some Indian ones) tend to have pointier mouths.

Yep, the "really hard" questions that Trump claimed he was congratulated on passing in a way that few people do included "Where are you and what year is it?"

Even if he was talking about the last five categories, those tough questions included "how is a train like a bicycle" and "can you distinguish the letter A from other letters?"

I fear for the elephant

I fear for the elephant

Trump’s next policy will be building a wall to keep elephants out.

 

[ruffneck23]

Maybe we should start calling him Donald Trunk

The creature behind it will have gobbled it or the snake will have done for it before trump hears of the elephant's plight

Trump wouldn't get that.

ermm, it most certainly wasn't! (google Jean Monnet)

Why are you suggersting that I or others "google Jean Monet "to disprove a statement by Donald Trump that I posted commenting about his deranged press conference? I know it's silly and I posted it with the assumption that others would know it's silly.

Are you some crazed Europhile, a self-appointed member of the Brussells inquisition, sniffing out perceived heresy regardless of the clumsily nuanced context in which you found it?

Do you assume that others here are stupider than you?

Unfortunately he's still of kinda of er Black so unlikely to eat into trump's vote.
As the Klansman I met said "we don't hate black folk we just think they should live desperately and not mix"
He was quite heavily armed at the time so arguing didn't seem terribly smart.
Had already been threatened as a UN stormtrooper of the new world order

Tell me about it. I criticised the EU for half-arsing their attempts at reigning in tax dodgers, and a small bunch of people piped up with "But Britain is worse!". As if I didn't fucking know that already!

Most of the time they don't but the odd occasion when they do can make it worthwhile for some brands.

The Sun still doesn't sell in Liverpool.

The sporting and cultural oycott of apartheid south africa was also very effective in damaging the morale of white South Africans, and showing them the extent orf i9nternational condemnation
