I'm curious if this is going to be the way leaders treat Trump going forward. And by curious I mean hopeful. Because that debacle in the Oval Office when Elon Musk completely owned him I think has made it clear that powerful people can dominate this man fairly easily. The guy who used to terrorize people in 2016 on the debate stage is gone. He's a dotering old man who doesn't even know where he is half the time. Interviews like this with other world leaders should be able to dominate the conversation fairly easily.

Trump will not like being seen as incompetent and weak publicly.

[–] LordWiggle 33 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

He should stop being a public figure then because he always looks like that. He's just lucky most amaricans are too dumb to notice.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Being a public figure is the one thing Trump excels at.

[–] LordWiggle 6 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

How though. Every time I see him talking he's making a fool out of himself. How can people take anything he says serious when he constantly lies and talks like a 3 year old.

[–] Krzd 3 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

it works with 50% of US voters tho... so he's doing something right.

[–] LordWiggle 2 points 4 hours ago

Like the movie Idiocracy. It used to be a pessimistic view of the future meant to be a comedy, yet it looks like an optimistic view of the near future, and looks more like a documentary right now.

It shows how extremily dumb the Americans are.

So he doesnt like being seen in public at all?

[–] Mog_fanatic 77 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (3 children)

There is zero chance. I think the only thing that would happen would be he would just shut down all in person meetings in front of a camera. Just like he does with news organizations or press people he doesn't like... He just cries "they treat me badly" and bans them from the White House If something makes him look or feel bad he just shuts it down.

well good… let him hide then…
nobody should be kissing his ass

[–] Dultas 63 points 1 day ago

Seeing less of him isn't a bad thing. He thrives on publicity, good or bad

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

Can't say that forever, downfall imminent

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

when Elon Musk completely owned him

I need to see this.

[–] baronvonj 33 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Elon's 4 year old told Trump to shut his fucking mouth, that he's not the real president, and that he should go away.

Sauce? Please let this be real 🙏

Pretty easy to find on YouTube, but to me (non native speaker) the audio is not good enough to really hear it. https://youtu.be/OjMFTagD7k0

The kid isn't even looking at trump.. plus when he said "you need to shush your mouth" trump wasn't even speaking. Probably reporters whispering to each other

I understand snopes tries to be objective, but I watched it and still think the kid did it.
