    magats listen him on right wing sources as part of white noise background noise. they dont pay attention to what hes saying.

    i have a family member like this, its to reinforce what they already believe about him.

      I laughed the first time I heard a MAGAt talking about how bad Biden was at speaking. I seriously thought they were joking, because Trump’s word salad is far worse than any stutter Biden ever uttered.

      …they were not joking. They seriously believe Trump is some great orator.

    This is a stretch. I saw the video, and he just misspeaks by saying “country” instead of “company”, but it’s clear that he understands it’sa company. He says he’ll place tariffs on their toys, not the “country of Mattel”

    My brother in law, without skipping a beat: “obviously he meant Micronesia”

    My reply, apparently not enough to get a response: “So you’re okay with a president who’s so cognitively vacant he can’t tell the difference between two very different sounding words?”

    This one isn’t so bad. Simple misspoken word. Meant to say “company” not “country.” He referenced their “CEO” a moment later.

    Literally a zillion valid thing to complain about Trump. This was nothing.

      For anybody else in his position it would have been a pretty big deal. But because it is Trump and we know how he is with words (as in not at all), this is “nothing”.

      What makes it sting is that when it was Biden or Obama misspeaking, the right wing troll farms and the entire corpoganda machine would have a great day with it. And god help them if they wore beige.

      So yeah, I don’t feel a need to play fair anymore. He asked for every whiff of smoke he’s getting.

      He needs to be judged harshly on everything he does. Everything.

      Let’s just imagine if Biden had said something like that. Or if Obama did it (whilst wearing a tan suit for extra fake rage). The us media would’ve been shouting about it and there’d be TV shows about it. Oppositional politicians would’ve been demanding impeach this and impeach that etc etc etc…

      But, oh, it’s tRUMP who may have misspoke? Oh, well, he’s done much worse so let’s give him a pass, shall we? How about this…NO.
      That fat, dumb, racist, rapist, orange cunt gets no pass, ever.

      It’s the small passes over the years that have had no consequences for him that have allowed him to move to bigger and bigger stuff to the big horrible shit that he’s doing now. And has been doing for decades.
      No passes, just harsh criticism. That’s all he deserves.

      I kinda agree. I think the much bigger story would be the fact that he’s threatening a singular company with a specific tariff of they don’t do what he likes. I don’t even think that’s legal, especially without congressional approval tho I could be wrong. In any case if we start going down the road of picking and choosing which specific companies get to have tariffs or not we are going to fly so fast down the slippery slope of corruption my ass will break the sound barrier

      Its just Alzheimer’s, and hes trying to talk like he thinks people doesn’t see it.

      His father also had it. And it is linked to both bad diet and genetics

          When his father was to ill to run a company, they set up a fake office for him, with a fake secretary, that gave him fake activities, so they didn’t have to deal with the issues of him not remembering that hes to ill to work.

          That was sweet then, but please don’t use oval office as a retirement playground for a demented malignant narcicist.

      Sleepy Joe was very publicly cognitively impaired for years. I don’t think “our guy is as bad as their guy” is a good point to make on this one.

        I don’t remember him saying things like “Mattel is a country”. I remember him agreeing to do a debate while sick, which was stupid.

        I think the difference between a very bad day and mentally impaired is a lot wider than you speculate.

        That said I agree with you only because he DID step back from the race, and had he done that A LOT FUCKING EARLIER then Kamala might have been able to dodge the bus she got thrown under.

            You can tell this wasn’t mental illness because he didn’t immediately fire the secretary of health and human services after and replace him with RFK.

    No shit, that’s why he signs whatever they put in front of him, and project 2025 has been followed almost to a T. He doesn’t give a crap about anything in project 2025. But he’s mentally in lala land and they’ve been hiding his declining health for a while.

    Contextually, there’s no indication he had confused Mattel with a country, likely just said the word because of speech habit when talking about tariffs. To think he confused it, you’d have to subscribe to the idea he thinks it’s a country that makes toys and is run by an executive, or had an ear piece correct him mid-sentence.

    He fucks up multiple times a day. There’s much more low-hanging fruit than this. Come on, peeps.

      Right. Just so we’re clear then, he knows Mattel is a company, and he thinks companies can impose tariffs on the USA.

      And that’s better?

        I’unno. Watch the video. It’s…somethung. Stupid as always, but didn’t think Mattel was a country, that’s for sure.
