Are you concerned that Trump has totally lost his marbles?

Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah. President DONALD J. TRUMP

Of all the politicians America could put in the White House, why are they voting for the nursing home / and lunatic asylum candidates ?
You have to wonder how many brain cells there are between the voters who voted Trump in a second time. Probably about a shared five and one of those is obviously on the blink.🙄

Because anything was better than a black woman. Or any woman. But especially a black one.
Good ole merica.

I can’t see how the people around him let this happen.

Totalinsanity · 05/04/2026 16:36

The fact that a single individual has the power to make decisions with repercussions as far ranging as these without anyone else being able to stop them demonstrates a severe lack in American democracy. I really really feel for the decent human beings of that continent who quite obviously have no control over what is being done by their leaders in their name. Land of the free my backside!!!!

They "carried" Biden until he started sitting down on chairs that weren't there....

America has one of the largest poorly educated citizens anywhere. The average is about attainment of around 12 I think.
They have little ability to critique, question etc.

You wouldn’t think they had schools if they weren’t always on the news.

The only reason America has schools is for target practice.

Etc etc.

The amount of people still defending him has really changed my perception of Americans. An extremely large percentage of the population is as thick as a Boxing Day turd. About 25 ‘Trump’s shit his own bed again’s ago I might have had time for ‘left behind traditional communities lashing out against a changing world’ narratives. Not any more. If you look at the president of the USA’s words and deeds right now and still support him - you’re a fucking brainwashed moron. I’m done with tolerating idiots.i

If you’re reading this and disagree with me, it’s because you’re not smart enough to put your partisanship to one side for the good of a country. It’s that simple. You don’t recognise how you have been manipulated into this position because you lack the ability to critically assess a situation and step back from the fact that you hate ‘the libs’ or ‘woke’ or whatever to see that America has been taken over by an insane bunch of Christofascists fronted by a man who falls asleep in meetings and literally shits in a nappy.

I don't remember his first term like this.

There were enough people in his administration with real experience of how governing a country works to keep him in check. He got rid of all those people in his second term.

Walkaround · 05/04/2026 16:39

You’re just acting as an apologist for someone who has always been this way - just like all the idiots who think the ends that they are fantasising about justify the means, which is what the Nazis also believed. The ends of evil behaviour are never good and never what the apologists told themselves would be the result, because in the end, the actions they are trying to justify are at least as horrific as the things they despise.

Vance didnt agree with the war and was demoted to the Fraud department.

Still vice president though. And writer of books about Catholicism with a nice snap of a Methodist church on the cover.

Whilst the foul language is unstatesmanlike and an unfortunate example of the continuing decline in standards in the West, President Trump is to be admired for the efforts, thus far, against a genocidal regime. The USA needs to remove it entirely, however. The President is also to be admired for putting the interests of his own people first.

April Fools has been and gone!

And then they took him away from the nuclear button long before his decline got this bad.

Stop the whataboutery. Stop defending the indefensible.

toiletpaperthief · 05/04/2026 16:39

This is what happens when an unhinged psychopath gets elected as the president of the most powerful country of the western world: he has the power to ruin the worlds economy due to his ignorance, massive ego and psychopathy.

Who are all these sensible, measured people and where have they been hiding? As far as I am aware, he is surrounded by like-minded sycophants and anyone who criticises him for going a step too far even for the MAGA crowd is immediately fired, like all the top brass military generals.

I obviously didn't phrase this well - I meant outside of America.

Worry about your own country. We just had a president with dementia and now this. Hopefully next president will be normal.

Worry about our own country?! If only it were that simple. What a stupid thing to say!!

Probably worried if they speak out they might 'disappear' to somewhere like Gitmo or have an 'accident'.
How does his wife put up with it?

I just went to check the BBC to check what he actually said because obviously he didn’t say what you claim, that would be outrageous. You clearly made that quote up, but you didn’t make it a realistic Trump quote, you went too overboard with it……………….

Never occurred to me you copied it word for word 🤯.

Why are none of his advisers doing anything? Does no one, none of his inner circle or anyone else have any control at all? Are his children insane? Do they not have eyes and a brain?

scalt · 05/04/2026 16:44

You mean he was sane, once upon a time?

"Any history of insanity?" Tell you what, I'll cross out the "in". "Any history of insanity?" "None whatsoever."

I suspect (and hope!) it will be another case of TACO in the end...

BeserkingTuesday · 05/04/2026 16:24

I feel sorry for him (well a little bit) He keeps taking these "IQ" tests. More likely ongoing cognitive tests. The NHS says, "People with symptoms of dementia are given tests to check their mental abilities, such as memory or thinking.
These tests are known as cognitive assessments, "

The one he talks about most is the MOCA - it's a test for dementia, and most of us would be able to score 100% standing on our heads.

Shadesofscarlett · 05/04/2026 16:46

A criminal and a sociopath and a complete and utter narc who also has dementia and tweets utter shite while sundowning. A complete and utter recipe for disaster but it has got the convo away from epstein files so has served it's purpose for him.

Totalinsanity · 05/04/2026 16:47

At some point the American people who do possess an operating brain are going to have to try and stop this insanity - how the Jeff do they start?…. Genuinely, they can’t want the entire world to assume they’re all evil (please see the really good definition of evil Rory Stewart recently put forward)….but what are their options? Guessing the writers of the constitution didn’t foresee this scenario….🙈🤦🏼‍♀️🙈

Thechateau · 05/04/2026 16:48

We should all be furious that this has been allowed to get to this stage by the Republican party and that article 25 of the constitution which as far as I understand anticipates exactly this situation has not been invoked.

Most of the world are worrying about their own countries. it's Trump causing all the trouble that is affecting every country in one way or another. He is everyones problem and that IS a huge problem.
It's not our fault a big portion of America elected a nut job.

Yep - it's high time that America decisively deals with Trump. I don't understand how this is all going on but everyone stands there dumbstruck. Do something!
