    There are some women that think his bank account is as big as he claims and the behavior of golddiggers like that may lead to his delusion.

      We (anyone not alt-right) are to blame too. We click and watch and view stuff with the rest of them…

      I think those that didn’t properly vet him for everyone else hold a lot of blame, too. So many people in the media knew exactly how awful he was, at least as far back as the 80s. And they even gave him a game show for a while.

      That game show did a lot of damage to this country, that’s for sure.

      But let’s be fair, if it wasn’t going to be tiny d, the cons would have pushed up a Palin or a Boebert or a Marge (or, more likely, a male version) and thanks to our bullshit way of voting in Presidents, might have succeeded instead of it being tiny d. Because having Obama as President drove them absolutely nuts.

    If you want to destroy him, double-down on these delusions.

    Why stop at Elvis? Get him talking about his theory on aliens, ask him to compare himself to Jesus and whether he’d do a better job of spreading Christianity than the big man himself, get him to discuss how to split Gaza to make everyone happy, ask how a successful coup of the whitehouse would look like, maybe even ask if Rosa Parks was being reasonable by not getting up out of her seat.

    You don’t destroy people like this by pointing out how stupid they are, because those die-hard followers will still worship him if he answers all the above. Where he’ll be destroyed is in having those on the fence go from “he’s a bit crazy, but he’ll do something, so I’ll vote for him” to “he’s fucking nuts, he’ll do something crazy, so I’ll vote for Biden”.

        OP is correct in that this approach would get more votes for Biden, but not for the reasons they think. You’re not going to convert the cult members. They’re long gone. Also remember that Biden got elected not because he was amazing, but because we endured 4 years of Trump and didn’t want more.

        What you will get, though, are people waking up after 4 years of not Trump, 4 years separation from his shit show of a presidency, realizing, “oh shit, yeah, now I remember that Trump is terrible, I need to make sure he doesn’t get elected.”

      Have you seen his, ahem, retruth of the video ‘and God created Trump’ video? He’s literally comparing himself to Jesus. And his followers went wild!

    If saying he looks like Elvis is damaging to him when trying to overthrow the country didn’t, that will be weird.

      It is entirely within expectations of the fucked up timeline we’ve found ourselves in, though.

      Call for treason and insurrection? Uproarious Cheering.

      Fuck children? Endless defense and excuses (and cheering)

      Wants to fuck his own daughter? “Well hell yeah, I’d fuck my daughter too if she looked like Ivanka!” - Disturbing number of republicans when looking at a pre-teen picture of her.

      But say you look like Elvis? Oh my god, thats just so inhuman and so far fetched.

        Politics works under WWE rules now. Trump is the heel they like. As long he’s doing fucked up shit to the face characters, they keep on cheering.

        Him trying to be a face character is bad because people only like him for being the heel.

        Is there any evidence that anyone who cheered for him in the above is in that boat? I’m pretty sure it’s a subset of the people upset about the treason, sexual assault, seemingly incestuous desires. Because speaking as someone who finds Trump utterly despicable, I fail to see why in the world I should care that he is vain enough to declare himself like Elvis. That’s utterly harmless narcissism on normal scales, let alone grading on the Trump curve.

      Dude might lose his presidential run because he pissed of Taylor Swift fans. This time line is nothing but weird.

      Not really. His followers revere him because they believe his is so strong. Pretty much the only strategy that can work against him is to make them believe he is failing or is becoming a joke. When they become embarrassed about him.

    “OMFG [Ivanka Trump where the hell are you?!?!?!? Politics aside do something FFS,” the user, Jil, wrote.

    Sounds like she is doing something. She’s avoiding her father’s clusterfuck now that she and her husband got their multi-billion dollar Saudi deal and don’t need him.

      Well would you if you were her. There isn’t going to be a real inheritance so no need to make daddy happy anymore.

    Can we dig up Elvis and do a side by side comparison? He’s probably right, but I don’t suppose fat Elvis is fat anymore.

    I agree. He looks like a man who took too many drugs, ate too much junk, and then died on his bathroom floor mid-shit.
