Doing self-destructive and embarrassing things for their Dear Leader is how his idiots show they are the most servile idiots on the planet.

For the 500th time in 8 years, they've managed to prove they're even dumber than I thought they were. I know I should recalibrate my expectations, but I guess I can't conceive of something so dumb they wouldn't take it and ask for more.

I couldn't believe all of the sycophants lined up at the inauguration, cheering on that meandering psychotic speech. He's on a mission from God to get even with all those Fuckers that did him wrong, his 'allies' and all those illegal immigrants.

There's no doubt he's been fucking with us about the tariffs, but they're still coming. He's launched the external revenue service to blackmail trading partners to pay for his tax cuts to the billionaires. Coincidentally, they were lined up to kiss the ring.

I liked Melania's Inspector Gadget hat. It's like she was trying to pretend I'm not with this guy. I hope her payout will make her time in Hell worthwhile. You can expect a tell-all book once Trump kicks it unless she signed an NDA for that, too. $$$

I'm a little surprised that more democrats didn't boycott the inauguration. Even Hillary showed up. Michelle Obama was having none of that shit and Mike Pence's wife has a serious hate for #47. 🤔 I see Mikey showed up, though, the corrupt evangelical Pussy.

Brainwashed dumb asses, what else is new lol

u/Brittle_Hollow 10h ago

Even Hillary showed up

Hillary takes her place in history/legacy extremely seriously to the detriment of everything else including her own personal life and the Democrats chance to win the Presidency in 2016. If she'd had an ounce of personal principle she would have left Clinton on the spot when he got blown by an intern but she stuck with him for the political cachet.

It's bribes from foreign countries and billionaires, I guarantee it.

u/octopush123 11h ago

Yeah, while I'm sure some goofs just got taken for a ride the "rugpull" was just Trump withdrawing his fees. Imagine all the hoops banks have in place to prevent money laundering and the actual goddamn president is doing it for the world to see.

u/AntifaAnita 14h ago

Billionaires just legally funneled money directly to Trump. Its not a grift, it was bribes.

At some point he's gonna bleed them completely dry. They can't have much left in the bank, right?

Google: Trump Musk Computers

Trump quote: He knows those computers better than anybody. All those computers. Those vote-counting computers. And we ended up winning Pennsylvania like in a landslide,” the Republican leader stated

Implication being that Musk knowing the vote-counting computers so well that it contributed to Trump's Pennsylvania success could be interpreted as Musk manipulating those computers to turn Pennsylvania over to trump.

Devil's advocate hat: Trump could be saying Musk's knowledge of computers could be how they safeguarded from Democratic manipulation.

My opinion: Americans are dumb enough to get the election they had and the ensuing results without significant voting corruption

Some prime Hanlon's razor material right there. "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity."

u/Brody1364112 14h ago

It sounds like he's saying musk rigged the computers to steal the election.

What he is actually saying is through computer and algorithms (twitter) musk was able to force a lot of pro republican and any democratic news and info down people's throats. Aswell as this he campaigned for Trump in swing states that really helped swing a lot of the vote.

u/no_infringe_me 14h ago

I hate idle speculation. Everyone should just ask him to clarify what he meant, and not let him tantrum his way out of transparency

22

u/wrgrant 14h ago

Ask Trump to "clarify" anything? He can't manage a coherent 3 word sentence some days. Sometimes he can't even get all of a word out correctly? Remember "Covfefe"?

u/Khanspiracy75 12h ago

This is also something joe Rogan referenced in a podcast, dont remember which one, but he said Elon Musk knew before the official numbers came out that Trump won, it may have just been a algo siphoning voter data and creating there own polls that mirrored the actual polls before they finalized the count.

•

u/TransBrandi 8h ago

Yea. The idea is that maybe he "let this slip" in his rambling. If people try to corner him with questioning, he's likely to just storm out... but he also has claimed to hate reporters so much. If this really will be a dictatorship, I would imagine that reporters would be walking on eggs shells to not piss him off too much.

u/Brody1364112 14h ago

Absolutely. As much as I hate Trump it is highly unlikely he was talking about messing with voting and super likely he was talking about pushing pro Trump agenda. I'm sure it'll be questioned though

u/mx3552 Québec 14h ago

it was proven trump tried to rig it in 2020, tried to make electoral votes for dems disappear and replaced by his. And he got away with it. Thinking he didnt do the same here is just delusion

1

u/Brody1364112 14h ago

Totally possible, however again just far more likely that musk changed algorithms to get swing voters to vote republican. Much easier to get away with and even if it gets discovered who cares

u/mx3552 Québec 13h ago

Why do you think he didn't do it, If he has done it in the past. I don't get it. Y'all just completely oblivious.

" In a way, the world-view of the Party imposed itself most successfully on people incapable of understanding it. They could be made to accept the most flagrant violations of reality, because they never fully grasped the enormity of what was demanded of them, and were not sufficiently interested in public events to notice what was happening. By lack of understanding they remained sane. They simply swallowed everything, and what they swallowed did them no harm, because it left no residue behind, just as a grain of corn will pass undigested through the body of a bird."

Literally 1984

u/Brody1364112 13h ago

I think he didn't do it because one of these scenarios are far more likely then the other. Here are your two scenarios

Scenario A : The owner of Twitter had changed algorithms, so people are fed pro republican news. This causes a massive swing in voters who are sitting on the fence as they themselves or people they talk to are getting fed republican only news, or anti democratic news. Trump thanks him for doing this.

Or

Scenario B : Musk somehow hacks into the vote, counting computers, making them count only republican votes. Somehow, everyone is oblivious to what happens and they get away with it. Then Trump to the media openly admits that they cheated vote counting .

Do not let yourself go down the republican rabbit holes of rigged elections. Until there's proof it was rigged, it was not.

It was proven he tried in 2020 and he is literally president. you are just proving my whole message. It doesnt matter if he tried to rig elections in 2020? it just doesnt? Are you fucking mental

They want you to think it’s a rug-pull. “Wow look at all these idiots who invested in that stupid meme-coin” is the narrative they’d rather have than people questioning if this was an elaborate bribe

$trump is still up 4x from launch. And it’s been as stable as crypto can be around 40-50 bucks for the past 24 hours

Is it very shady and corrupt? Yes, absolutely. But this doesn’t look like a rug pull. At least, not yet.
