In case you weren’t sure which kind of slurring he was doing…

He sounded like a disoriented, racist Daffy Duck

…it was BOTH!

Trump: hmm, I'm having a tough time connecting with voters. Let's see, who is the best person to give me good PR...

Oh right, the man who fired his comms team and replaced them with an auto-response of a poop emoji, and told all his advertisers to go fuck themselves.

Definitely won't regret that decision.

And now they are suing said advertisers bcz they took their ball and went home.

The craziest part to me is that it sends a clear message to never advertise on X cause if you ever stop you will get sued by Elon.

I'm not a conspiracy theorist, I swear, but I think Trump had a minor stroke. That's exactly what it sounds like.

We'll see in future appearances, I guess.

Stroked out with rage that a black woman is beating him in the polls. He's desperate to say she isn't black because that soothes his racist ego a little.

It could also be the dementia from age, syphilis, and Adderall abuse.

Good. Give him all the rope he needs. As he continues to flounder I expect a hard R before October out of him.

That’s a pretty challenging word to say when your dentures are falling out.

The N word. Which you know Trump uses all the time.

[–] antaymonkey 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Ohhh I get it. Never heard it referred to like that before. Or, if I did, it went way over my head. Thanks.

Musk, meanwhile, has the interviewing skills of a stoned introvert.

Trying to imitate Rogan, I suppose?

He did little but cheerlead Trump and agree with every bizarro thing that fell out of his mouth, while occasionally going on the kind of odd right-wing tangents you’d expect from a man too rich to ever be told to pipe down.

You could say pretty much the same thing of Trump's speaking style, except older and totally incompetent.

Go you fucking racist shithead. Go hard. Go for the gold. Go right to hell.

He's never been OK.
