A brief look at stuff Donald Trump has said lately

This is by no means exhaustive. It's just a short collection of some of the extremely presidential things Donald Trump has said recently. Needless to say, none of it is even remotely true.

  • "The transgender thing is an incredible thing. Your kid goes to school and comes home a few days later with an operation."
  • "Hard to believe, they have some states passing legislation where you can execute the baby after birth. It’s crazy."
  • "Look at Kamala ... every place she has touched has turned to shit!"
  • "Over the past 4 years, Kamala and Crooked Joe Biden have presided over an economic reign of terror, committing one economic atrocity after another."
  • "There will be no future under Comrade Kamala Harris, because she will take us into a Nuclear World War III!"
  • "The USA is not ready for a Communist President."
  • "MASSIVE SCANDAL! The Harris-Biden Administration has been caught fraudulently manipulating Job Statistics to hide the true extent of the Economic Ruin they have inflicted upon America."
  • Barack Obama should be hauled in front of a military tribunal:

Things Trump has tried to sell recently:

  • Gold sneakers: "People were going crazy for these sneakers. You probably were, too. Everybody was. Every friend I have had called me for a pair of sneakers."
  • NFTs: "Back by popular demand, my TRUMP DIGITAL TRADING CARDS, Series 4: The America First Collection, is available RIGHT NOW, and I think you’ll love it!"
  • Picture book: "My new Book, SAVE AMERICA, is out next week, and is already a Best Seller! I hand-selected each photo, and wrote the captions - It is a MUST HAVE for every America First Patriot."
  • Bible: "I'm proud to endorse and encourage you to get this Bible... You all should get a copy of 'God Bless the USA Bible' now."
  • Bitcoin sneakers: "Just spoke at the Bitcoin Conference in Nashville, Tennessee on Saturday. It was GREAT! Get your Bitcoin Sneakers now."

    No man knows a grift better.

    "Trump has made $300,000 (£273,000) from branded bibles, listed on the financial disclosure form as "The Greenwood Bible".The former president started selling the books earlier this year after partnering with country music singer Lee Greenwood.
    Mr Greenwood is known for his song God Bless the USA, which inspired the name of the bible: God Bless the USA Bible. They are for sale on Mr Greenwood's website for $59.99."

        Also true that there are states which allow post-birth abortions (“executions”, to quote Mango Mussolini): they’re all the states with the death penalty on their books. They routinely abort people of various post-birth ages…

        Oddly enough, they are also exclusively red states.

      There's a guy on YouTube -- forget the channel -- who, really, "rates" Bibles according to the quality of the translation, typeface, paper, binding, and other features with an eye towards deciding whether this is a durable product that can be used and referenced weekly in church, Bible studies, passed down through the family, etc. He's not denominational or anything, just sort of a codicology geek. A bunch of readers asked him to take a look at the Trump Bible and he determined that:

      1. It's almost certainly printed in China, though it doesn't say (which, he says, is a dead giveaway that it's from China)
      2. Everything about it is crappy quality, from the cheap vinyl binding, to the paper, to use of the non-copyrighted (= "cheap!" = Trump), but extremely problematic KJV translation.
      3. Is desecrated with a bunch of political texts like the US Constitution and -- really -- a "special message" from Trump and singer Lee Greenwood about how "special" the Bible is.

      So: cheap, crappy, Chinese-made Bible designed solely to make Trump money. Which is so on-brand for Trump. Monetize sacrilege and get gullible Christians to pay for it.

    Trump is a total con man. As long as there are people willing and able to fall for his slimy, shifty, scams he will keep it up. He is a fraud and a money grubber. It simply stuns me that he can show such crude and creepy behavior that still have any support. He is intellectually stunted and ignorant. If he gets voted in again, we only have ourselves to blame. He is about as "Presidential" as a dead stump.

      It’s affinity fraud. Trump pretends to be an ignorant religious patriot, and the MAGATs are only too eager to give him their money. Who would have guessed they would be such suckers for a womanizing amoral narcissistic New York City grifter.

        He is not pretending to be ignorant, it is the only thing he has in common with his MAGA cult. They are as ignorant as he is if not more so.

  3. jamesepowell

    The non- or barely engaged voters never hear about these things because the political media are diligent in promoting and protecting Trump.

    You forgot to mention his most jaw dropping marketing scheme - selling medieval style relics of himself in the form of clippings of fabric from his debate suit.

    I knew Republicans were trying to take us back to the middle ages, but I didn't expect it to be quite this literally.

    If we didn't already know this guy from decades in the spotlight before 2015, I'd guess he's running a psyop, if not a massive satire, to expose the foibles of USA democracy.

    Every friend I have had called me for a pair of sneakers.

    So, no one, then?

    Get your Bitcoin Sneakers now.

    Doing for sneakers what he does for America.

    Now look, nobody's saying they agree with everything the little Austrian Corporal serial fraudster and sexual batterer says, and those Brownshirts MAGAts are just crude. And all that talk of "camps" is just silly -- I mean, how could the most civilized nation on Earth allow something like that to happen? But really we DO need to make the trains run on time reduce taxes, and we have GOT to to do something about the Jewish immigrant problem! They're poisoning the blood of our Nation!

        And they don't have bidets in the slammer.

        (But, why shouldn't they, they're not expensive anymore and they'll save money on toilet paper).

    He's also trying to sell swatches of his coat and tie from his debate with Biden, just as he did with his jacket from his arrest photo.

    And the grift goes on
    And the grift goes on
    Trump keeps grifting MAGAs fools each day
    buy my blahdedah
    buy my blahdedah
    doom doom doom
    doom doom doom

    He's now saying Kamala Harris never worked at McDonalds.

    And, --that's all they've got.

    Reporters need to ask him about this. Just keep him going on about it.

    Future generations will look on this with a mixture of disbelief, confusion, and revulsion 100 times greater than how we look at it now

    Remarkable when gathered in a list; what a picture it paints. Also notable is the things liberal commie socialist pinkos like myself see as clear signs of a retarded asshole - ok, human garbage - ok, a sick piece of fucking shit - are the very things that bind his minions to him more strongly than ever. I've said that Trump knows people, but I need to clarify - Trump knows an American population that's been primed by 30 years of Fox News, Gingrich, et al. He knows the American 'conservative' id that's scratched scratched scratched at our society for a hundred years. He has become the embodiment of the darkness of the American project. I am not surprised, at all, that he has gained such a fanatical following, and that this will not just go away by itself, ever.

    "Barack Obama should be hauled in front of a military tribunal."

    If he manages to do this in a hypothetical second term, he would be immune from prosecution under SCOTUS' generous dispensation of presidential immunity for official acts. Ironically, justice Gorsuch's justification for such broad immunity is that former presidents should be able to enjoy their retirement unconcerned about possible prosecution by their successors on partisan policy grounds!

    "Look at Kamala ... every place she has touched has turned to shit!" Pure projection. The rest is just the ramblings of a desperate and sad little man.

    The only logic I see for the continued MAGA loyalty has been mentioned here before- pure spite. 🙁

    Many probably understand he offers nothing to help them, and may even wreak havoc, but that's a price worth paying because they know he will . . . “stick it to the liberals”.

    ain't democracy great 🙁

    Donald Trump also claims climate scientists are predicting sea level will increase by an eighth of an inch in the next 400 years. The latest NOAA report predicts an eight foot rise by the end of the century.

    Donald also claims large parts of the country lose power when the wind stops blowing.

    The media and everyone else have allowed Trump to lie with abandon for so long that over time and with the onset of senility, he now feels he can just make up whatever shit he wants whenever he wants.

    Every friend I have had called me for a pair of sneakers

    This can be true AND it can also be true that nobody has called him for a pair of sneakers.
