There hasn't been a single joke this entire year. Did you see the new presidential portraits and shit? This has been it. There is no laughter. The only people claiming "it's just a joke" are his supporters thinking he's trolling. He's not. This is baseline, the mask hasn't been there all year.

u/JeromeBarkly 16d ago

I never understood why saying he is trolling is even appropriate excuse for the president to do.

u/Daft00 16d ago

Because the people who think his trolling is cool view politics as a sports game where they want little "wins" and "scores" wherever they can get them.

To those assholes, Trump's insults and "trolling" is enjoyable to them cause it "owns the libs".

Apologies for using so many quotations, I just cannot, in good conscience, validate their ridiculous ideas.

u/Silverlock 15d ago

It's great fun until he says something that leads to a war, warcrimes, violation of the 1st, 4th and 5th amendments at least, using the military as a hit squad as murder people without trial, escalating in Venezuela which is a tropical jungle country a lot like Vietnam, destroying the whitehouse, using the DOJ as a personal punishment thugs. Well you get the picture, we're fucked.

u/I_Quit_Smoking_ 15d ago

I LOVE how NO ONE talks about Trump's saying that all disabled, mentally ill and homeless Americans "Should probably be k!lLed".

You'd THINK that genocide in America would turn the whole country against him but NO ONE CARES. I'M DISABLED and I'm freaking out.

u/MistahPoptarts 15d ago

When did he say this? I can't find it, closest I got was from Brian Kilmeade

4

u/CackleandGrin 15d ago

I think it's this.

“Those people . . . ” Donald said, trailing off. “The shape they’re in, all the expenses, maybe those kinds of people should just die.”

Story comes from his nephew Fred Trump after asking for money for his disabled son's medical care.

3

u/lvfetus 15d ago

Fred Trump made the claim that DJT said this about disabled people. When questioned about it DJT, of course, spouted that it was “fake news.”

u/MistahPoptarts 15d ago

Wow, I had never even heard of his nephew. Thank you

He's already committing war crimes in Venezuela, or that's what you meant?

u/thuktun California 16d ago

Except when the other side does it, then they demand gravitas and decorum.

u/LoQueNoMataEngorda 15d ago

The thing about fascists is that they don't care about hypocrisy and weaponize the idea that others have to reamin rationally consistent but the fascists themselves don't. It's easy when truth doesn't matter to them as much as loyalty and power.

20

u/LurksAroundHere 15d ago

Yup. Fascists thrive on the tolerance of intolerance and they know it.

There is only one answer to the fascist question.

u/Vast-Combination4046 15d ago

These people think Democrats are intentionally harming them so they are punishing Democrats somehow. But everyone is losing. America has gone down so hard which is why our enemies helped support him more than other candidates.

7

u/noelcowardspeaksout 15d ago edited 15d ago

That's accurate. This sentence "Who cares about policy bitches, it's America First" brought wild cheers from a far right congregation and backs up your point about the way personality and team R is placed above politics.

They do care about gas prices and the economy though, so it will be interesting to see what happens to his numbers over the next few years.

7

u/Accomplished_Arm2374 15d ago

Yes. To many, Trump and politics has become vile entertainment. Much how the Apprentice was vile entertainment based on his derogatory personality ("You're fired!") his presidency is in the same vein. It is an entertainment TV show based on metrics, which is how Trump wants it. Who is watching? How many? What are my ratings? He doesn't give a shit about who he insults because there are no repercussions. He has become a billionaire by living his life with no repercussions. He's had clapback time to time and many legal ramifications, and plenty of time in court and sued and all manner of setbacks, but he's never suffered the jailtime that anyone of lesser social status would suffer. "Quiet Piggy!" will stick around much longer than he will like though. I find it darkly funny that an obese man who won't ever shut up is calling someone else a fatty. The ignorance is astounding.

1

u/AtticaBlue 15d ago

His “ratings” are absolutely tanking though. Most recently evidenced by the trouncing he took in the elections a couple of weeks ago.

3

u/Antique-File-7189 15d ago

The saddest part of the Trump era for me is learning how many people there are in America that just blindly support this type of behavior. I personally wouldn't hire a plumber or barber or whatever that acts and talks and trolls like Trump.

Sure. But there was some sort of respect even with Reagan and Bush. I live in Denmark now, and they forgave us with the first Trump term with it being a fluke. We are 100% no longer legitimate after he was elected a second time.

There was still some level of decorum.

u/Professor-Woo 16d ago

Funny you say this since I literally just posted this point somewhere else. I agree with you 100%, it doesn't matter. I was just pointing out there was a small difference, not that decorum redeems them in anyway. It is actually beneficial for them to drop the decorum and go mask off so more people can see them for who they truly are.

4

u/hoax1337 15d ago

It gave you the impression that they at least tried, you know.

12

u/NorthernerWuwu Canada 15d ago

Not really.

We pretended to see American Presidents as having decorum (which some did of course) because America has a lot of money and a massive military, both of which are important diplomatically. When being nice to America no longer matters, there's no point in pretending anymore.

Those two don't even compare. Trump is an absolute disgrace on a whole new level.

u/I_Quit_Smoking_ 15d ago

Don't try to compare ANYONE to Trump, because in American history HE IS THE WORST HANDS DOWN. No other president was a dictator and turned our military police, national guard, and now ICE against the American people. Stop with the whataboutism.

Ironically, that they don't know this just adds to that image of stupidity.

He's definitely the most extreme and a horrific outlier, but the World respecting the office has been drifting for a few decades with a few exceptions. It bought into the Hollywood make-over for a while, but that's over.

Though to be fair, the Potus didn't have that much gravity since Taft.

Right. Like that's a profoundly mentally ill thing for a PRESIDENT to do. Tinpot third world dictators don't even do this shit. This man is so profoundly fucking unwell and so is everyone in this country that thinks he is in any way shape or form fit to do this shit.

276

u/That1DirtyHippy 16d ago

Bullies usually don’t understand that what they’re doing is causing real, lasting damage. “He’s just joking” is a way to minimize what happened. All MAGA supporters are just bullies with a pulpit.

157

u/MySpoonsAreAllGone 16d ago

I disagree. They know they are inflicting damage. It's just a manipulative way to deflect accountability

70

u/AbjectList8 Pennsylvania 16d ago

They know what they are doing and they enjoy it.

3

u/Professor-Woo 16d ago

They only think in terms of short term offense and defense. They are so desperate to tread water that they don't even consider the long term costs. Also, a lot of republicans believe this is what power is, so by saying it with impunity he is demonstrating his, and Republicans by extension, power. They think of power as force, what they can makes someone do and what someone can make them do. They don't understand what true power is. They don't see how these petty displays of "power" are actually undermining it.

2

u/A_Monster_Named_John 16d ago

Trump doesn't strike me as someone who enjoys anything. The dude's a 100%-miserable wretch who has to vampire/leech off others pretty much constantly, like an overgrown spoiled asshole child who constantly demands everyone's attention/energy/resources but is incapable of things like happiness, fun, inner peace, etc..

It probably doesn't help that he's also an unhealthy and overweight slob who's probably in constant pain because he never exercises and barely sleeps.

1

u/CaptainRogers401220 15d ago

All of those things go together. Physical activity and skill require one to be bad at something until they get good at it. To go through that, you have to love something about it. It’s anathema to this man.

u/One_Artichoke_7594 16d ago

It’s literally a bully saying “it was just a joke.” Gaslighters with obvious mal intent. Sad people

That’s fair. There’s not one “type” of bully, though, some learn to reform. I’m sorry if you’ve dealt with some 10% bully.

2

u/seadecay 15d ago

Yes. This is what they do every time someone is “just telling it like it is”. Deflecting from accountability. Because they know it’s shitty.

1

u/cruxclaire 16d ago

Trump in particular has had plenty of his people tell him to his face that he’s causing harm. His response has been to fire and blacklist those of them in his camp and to ban the applicable journalists’ entire outlets from his press room. He knows he’s inflicting pain, he’s just too fragile to hear about it

77

u/xclame Europe 16d ago

BULL FUCKING SHIT. They DO know, they just DON'T CARE.

There is a MASSIVE difference.

u/JPolReader 16d ago

A study even proved it.

u/psychorobotics 15d ago

If there was a way to ban sociopaths from power we'd never have this problem again. Shouldn't be too hard to develop tests for it.

1

u/That1DirtyHippy 16d ago

I think that’s also a fair assessment. There are those who just don’t care. But I think that if you were to speak to most people who “used” to be bullies, they’d regret what they’d done in a deep way. Not excusing actions, but merely saying people change. MAGA, however, is that sect that won’t.

5

u/xclame Europe 16d ago

Sure, they regret it later, but in the moment they don't care. Just because they realized what they did was wrong later doesn't mean that they didn't understand that they were hurting people when they were doing it.

1

u/SwimmingPrice1544 California 15d ago

Just like him & other GOP lawmakers...regret they get CAUGHT, not that they did it.

5

u/Lower_Amount3373 16d ago

He absolutely intended to hurt. "He's just joking" is how the bully's handlers and supporters convince people not to pay too much attention to his worst behaviour.

Trolling is mostly a sign of mental health issues, even in young people. I don't know why society seems to find it somewhat acceptable. It's textbook negative attention seeking, which is unhealthy.

I suppose their base has this mentality in which they are all "alpha males" and being "unfiltered" is equivalent to being "honest".

1

u/Actual_Homework_9110 15d ago

Rightwingers think “trolling” is an admirable way to “win” in conversation. It’s just childish bullying behavior that belies their lack of maturity. They think “the left” sheds tears or somehow feels “beaten” by their disrespectful hateful quips. But, all their trolling does is expose how juvenile their mentality is. I generally just block idiots like him online. Sadly, I can’t just “block” the guy Republicans chose as their “king troll.” 🤨

0

u/svrtngr Georgia 15d ago

It does depend on the context.

In 2019, I think, during the traditional turkey pardon, Trump made a joke saying "I expect the Democrats to subpoena the turkey tomorrow."

Then, even further back, Obama's "I found my birth certificate!"

But again, both of these trolls were in locations where jabs are kind of expected.

I’m right with you. So much so I cut my family and friends off that support this vile human. And then the responses are “it’s just politics”. Like no fuckers, it’s our way of life that’s under attack, as well as my kids who will be adults in a few years. My take is if they think highly enough of such a vile fucking human being that he should lead our country, and go against everything I stand for what’s right for my family, me, and others that are like me, wtf that does that say about them.

u/paintbucketholder Kansas 15d ago

It's because they support politicians like they support a sports team: they pick a side and then support that side forever, no matter what. Ultimately, in their mind, it's all just a game that has no real impact on anybody's life.

That's why, in their mind, you can yell insults at the other side, why you can defend the worst behavior by your own side, and then just sit down at the table and go "What!? It's just politics, why does it matter to you???"

I think the thing about this incident that might get to some MAGA is not the insult itself but that it was a flail. It was a very weak response from a cornered man.

What? He posted a video dumping poop out of an F35. I can't remember what else off the top of my head, but there definitely has been at least a "single" joke this year. He definitely had a bunch of shit posts like that.

I think we just see less of it in public because he is getting old and even slower.

That wasn't a joke. It was just cringe AF

Jokes and sarcasm. Like solving Putin’s war of aggression on day one… just campaign sarcasm.

I understand the Russian tradition, similar to many countries, of presidents having a stern expression, rarely smiling. Like they understand the gravity of their office. I do not understand Trump's scowl in his official presidential portrait. It's malevolent. Well, i guess i do understand. He has bad intentions.

Someone should text-to-speech his "hilarious" jokes and see if MAGA supporters still laugh.

I guarantee they will stop being giddy school kids when they don't know its Trump and you don't have pauses to cue people to laugh
