Person clearly in denial keeps claiming he's totally not in denial

[–] [email protected] 13 points 9 hours ago

The audience is going to get a pack of smokes/some milk. Just like my Dad was going to do, 29 years ago.

Alexa, play "Despacito".

"They're not leaving. They're just heading to my next rally and making sure they get good seats."

Probably what this clown's narcissism is feeding his brain.

[–] partial_accumen 48 points 17 hours ago

Quote from the article applied at the relevant point of the prayer.

The Narcissist's Prayer

That didn't happen. <--- "The people that you see leaving? Because nobody ever leaves,"-Trump

And if it did, it wasn't that bad. <--- "people were actually lining up in the back for photos since he couldn’t pose for pictures earlier."-Trump

And if it was, that's not a big deal. <--- "And when they do, I finish up quick." -Trump

And if it is, that's not my fault. <--- Trump then suggested that his staffers were to blame for the apparent departures

And if it was, I didn't mean it.

And if I did, you deserved it.

It pleases me to know that Kamala Harris lives rent-free in his head.

[–] whostosay 15 points 16 hours ago (3 children)

I love this thought, but something has always bothered me about the phrase "living rent free in x head"

I can't even explain why I just hate it

[–] elbarto777 1 points 4 hours ago

That phrase doesn't bother me, but I can understand the sentiment. People tend to use the same "clever" phrases over and over, and when there is a phrase you don't particularly like, you end up hating it after the 100th time.

In my case, it's "looking at you, X" where X is not a person. E.g. "I'm looking at you, Unity framework!"

Or whenever there is a post about a wholesome prank, someone will always comment "See? This is a good prank. Nobody got hurt, everyone laughs." At this point, I'm inclined to think that people deliberately do it as a version of "First post!!"

[–] bcgm3 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

I know just what you mean, but also it sounds like poetry compared to "Ohio skibidi rizz."

[–] whostosay 1 points 4 hours ago

You're not wrong lol

[–] [email protected] 36 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

So the phase "living rent free in my head" is living rent free in your head.

[–] whostosay 18 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

I'm not here to tell you you're wrong, but go fuck yourself, friend.

edit: In my defense, I only really get upset about it when I see it, other than that the phrase is chillin somewhere.

You still may be right tho

[–] [email protected] 37 points 19 hours ago

He suffers from Kamala derangement syndrome

[–] [email protected] 44 points 18 hours ago (3 children)

After years of listening to this nutjob .... he isn't the idiot any more

We are for putting up with him and just giving him a platform to speak to everyone as if everything he said had some sort of importance or even common sense.

[–] bcgm3 2 points 5 hours ago

He's like a train wreck that just keeps on wrecking, forever. You'd think the novelty would have worn off years ago, but... We just keep looking.

[–] bitwaba 13 points 12 hours ago

That has been the case since 2016.

[–] saddlebag 9 points 15 hours ago

Totally agree. American people have proven that they will vote for the most rotten cunt possible as long they’re racist and misogynistic enough. You here are dozens of mini-trumps all over the US. This election is a short term requirement that he loses but the work will take years or decades. I hope for the future of mankind

[–] [email protected] 60 points 19 hours ago (4 children)

Love the ad on the rsbn clip, says alot about his followers I guess

[–] [email protected] 11 points 9 hours ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 hours ago

We've got you covered

[–] WhatYouNeed 5 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Is he...standing in front of giant toilet paper rolls?

[–] Whats_your_reasoning 6 points 10 hours ago

Gotta be prepared for all the shit that’s about to spew out his mouth.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

That’s not a real ad right?? That’s gotta be KHQ team having some Idiocracy-style fun with their tweet… right??

[–] [email protected] 16 points 16 hours ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 10 points 16 hours ago

Well I’ll be damned. I can’t even with these people lol

And thanks, huge props for providing the receipts so quickly!

[–] [email protected] 19 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Ha! That's wild. You can literally just buy it at the farm store in town here.

I'm sure it's far cheaper there too.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 18 hours ago

You could, but then the money goes to some business instead of a grifter. Don't you love America?! /s

[–] ThePowerOfGeek 34 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

Good grief, she said that weeks ago! That little comment permanently damaged his ego on a profound level, didn't it.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 18 hours ago

His crowd (cult) is a measure of his self worth. He surrounds himself with people that will shower him with praise, and attacks anyone that doesn't feed his ego. If he hadn't started a life of crime so early, he probably would have loved setting up a compound and just living out his days with a cult to control and have them heap praise on him every second of every day.

"Theyre just so excited they can't sit still. These people they have to get up and run around. We have the fastest runners. They get up and run and sometimes they leave but they come back they always come back. I met one guy he left and he came back he said "they're not doing it like you over there. They are not good." And I said I know."

[–] NegativeInf 40 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

I had to Google this to make sure it wasn't real.

So good job!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

So is it real? I hate that I have to ask this.

[–] NegativeInf 9 points 17 hours ago
[–] [email protected] 16 points 20 hours ago

Trump and his alternate facts.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 20 hours ago

They're going to get a beer and a hotdog but they'll be right back.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 17 hours ago

True they could be changing their trump brand diapers.

[–] NatakuNox 4 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

(read in Trump's voice)

Their going to take a poo they'll be right back... Ya right back when America was great again... When women knew their place and tough white Christian men wouldn't be canceled for burning a cross on an ethnic persons lawn... Kamabla wants to eat your babies as they come out of the womb... Oh yes it's true...

[–] [email protected] 6 points 17 hours ago

Too coherent. It needs more rambling off in random directions, maybe think about electrocuting a sinking shark or smth

[–] FuglyDuck 5 points 20 hours ago

They're not leaving. His sharpie has just run out of ink in the later photos.

[–] linearchaos 3 points 18 hours ago

They're just going out for smokes, they'll brb

[–] solidgrue 3 points 19 hours ago

They're just going out to vote for you now. Right, Donnie?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 20 hours ago

Schrodinger's voter?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 18 hours ago

They just realized they’re not willing to elect a man who combs his sideburns behind his ears, for a second time.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 18 hours ago

“…and the waddle on my neck is not a vagina”, continued dumb-dumb.
