What stupid shit has Trump done today?

Yuk:

 

[quiet guy]

Now he's supposed be getting ready to put his name forward again for the Presidential vote in 2024

 

[teqniq]

He's got no chance has he? (this may not age well).

 

[Ax^]

might not age well but think this is another grift

after the mid terms and the last election why would the GOP hand the power back to trump

Not sure the party has ever been particularly keen on him tbh. Their voters have tended to have other ideas though.

Apparently Kanye wants to run again for president with Trump as his running mate.

I saw that news segment. Apparently it did not go down well with the Donald... I'm stunned as he's normally such a retiring guy who's more than happy to share the spotlight with, well, anyone really. A true team player. Maybe Kanye didn't say 'please' often enough or with the right tone...?

Murdoch has gone right off him.

 

[Cloo]

That Murdoch has lost interest is perhaps the biggest obstacle for Trump now, and hopefully an insurmountable one. Trump, it appears, can take any accusation due to basically having no shame whatsoever, but what he can't take is ridicule, and that's starting to come in from previously supportive vectors.

 

[quiet guy]

For all his outrage at the MSM he really needs it to keep himself visible to the wider American voters who don't follow him on social media.

Donald Trump, the road that might not lead to the White House!

US court strikes down appointment of special master to review Trump records

Decision marks decisive defeat as judges opine the request should never have been granted in the first place

www.theguardian.com

A federal appeals court on Thursday terminated the special master review of documents seized from Donald Trump at his Mar-a-Lago property, paving the way for the justice department to regain access to the entirety of the materials for use in the criminal investigation surrounding the former president.

The decision by the US court of appeals for the 11th circuit marked a decisive defeat for Trump in a ruling that said a lower-court judge should never have granted his request for an independent arbiter in the first place and is unlikely to be overturned in the event of appeal.

“The law is clear,” the appeals court wrote in an unanimous 23-page opinion. “We cannot write a rule that allows any subject of a search warrant to block government investigations after the execution of the warrant. Nor can we write a rule that allows only former presidents to do so.”

The ruling removed the lower-court judge’s order, allowing federal prosecutors to use the unclassified documents – in addition to the documents marked classified they previously regained in an earlier appeal – in the criminal investigation examining Trump’s mishandling of national security materials.

Trump can only appeal to the US supreme court, according to local rules in the 11th circuit, though it was not immediately clear whether he would do so. The former president has lost multiple cases before the supreme court, most recently including whether Congress can get access to his tax returns.

Smack on the wrist for Trump-appointed judge who authorized it. Good delaying tactics though.

I'm surprised that this bit of stupidity has not made the thread yet:
Trump wants back in by suspending US constitution

I think because it's not really news. It's just him grasping for attention by finding yet another way to say what he's been saying for two years. It's really old.

Oxford educated Sen. Kennedy on "high IQ stupid people":



Both of these are Trump's guys. I loved what Jimmy Kimmel had to say. He said "that bag of green stuff isn't kale."

This is the "What stupid shit has Trump done today?" thread and, old schtick or not, newsworthy or not, by any rational measure it's a bloody stupid thing to say -especially as he's still the de-facto Republican leader. The newsworthy point about it is that he's announced another white house run and there is genuine concern over there that were he to get in again, he would cause irreperable harm both at home and abroad.

For some reason I couldnt proerly post the link so the twitter will have to do.

Of course it's stupid and inflammatory and harmful. Everything he's ever said is stupid and inflammatory and harmful. However, you asked why it hadn't been said already, so I simply gave a likely reason - I didn't defend him against any of the points you subsequently went on to make. I only offered a likely reason to go with your original question.

I did not suggest that you were defending the guy at all. I'm sorry you got that impression. I merely provided a rebuttal to the notion that it's not newsworthy, considering that it seems to be all over the news over there...

Fair enough. You're right. I'm not entirely sure I even considered the title of the thread in relation to your post. His stupidity definitely remains newsworthy.

There was speculation he might be declaring a bid for House speaker or something but the big announcement turned out to be a line of Trump Card NFTs.

 

[bimble]

Oh. Im not disappointed at all I think they’re great . Think this one is my favourite. Looks just like him.

 

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

NFTs? Really catching the crest of the wave with that one isn't he.

He knows his audience.

* Snort * You can almost imagine his team going 'Uh, maybe we're not ready for a political bid yet so we need to come up with a big announcement that isn't that!'

'Oooh, I've got something he'll love...'

Full launch video here. It's fucking hilarious.

And you can see the bit where he explains it exactly the way they explained it to him. "They're like baseball cards Mr President."
