      I hate to say it (I really hate to say it), but I don’t think Trump is incompetent. I think he has different goals than you think he does, and is executing them successfully.

      I mean, obviously he’s a profoundly stupid person, but he’s some kind of idiot-savant that manages to succeed at his criminally evil goals despite that. Might be why all the dipshits admire him so much, come to think of it.

        His goal is to stay out of prison, which he’s 100% successful at.

        Why do you think Vance is doing all the traveling and trump plays golf all day? He doesn’t care. He got a get out of jail free card already.

        A useful idiot. He is manipulated by those around him to achieve self-serving goals.

        He has good jeans to handle all of that incontinence. The best jeans. Jeans like you have never seen before.

      You’d think people would know this already, seeing as he was already fucking President once and all, with even then totally predictable and insane levels of corruption and incompetence. Somehow that record never really came up during the election, amazing.

        the MSMs were working 24/7/365 sanewashing him since he lost in 2020, it had a positive effect on his image, because he was getting free press 24/7+ putin backed right wing grifters were helping hammering the messaging in young men voters too.

      He is. And we let him be president. What’s that say about us?
