The craziest part of this whole deal is the support for him hasn't really shifted.

Despite or because of all these legal problems, Trump remains by far the favorite for the 2024 Republican Party presidential nomination>

All the Republican/Trump supporters I've ever met here in New Zealand (why? Who the hell knows)are batshit crazy. Most of them Christians too surprise surprise.

I will never understand how he has international fans.

Do other countries not have comparable sociopathic narcissists?

[–] Boldizzle 3 points 11 months ago

It baffles me too.

There was an antivax mandate protest at Parliament here last year and there were actually people in the crowd holding Trump 2024 posters. Like wtf?!

That story just got better and better

“Prettyman federal court house” .. I know it’s just a name but it works so well in this case.

[–] FreeloadingSponger 27 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I firmly believe shit like this annoys him more than anything else.

Very few of us can accept parody of ourselves ... least of all sociopaths/psychopaths.

He was saying farms. Because the guy is a wheat farmer.

Ugly man enters Prettyman courthouse. News at eleven.

Truly hilarious.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago

I can't believe that's really the name of the courthouse
