This is standard procedure for him. Something gives him an idea, he assumes that it is pure genius and he immediately runs with it without even thinking it through or at least educating himself on the subject first to see if it is actually a good idea or not.
This is him just moments before he famously suggested on a national press conference that shining UV light or injecting disinfectant into people’s bodies could be a treatment to COVID:
Been commenting about this for YEARS! Could never find that part of the video and here you have a pic!
If it was just him, it wouldn’t be that bad. Kinda like Bush Jr. The problem is that he surrounds himself with yes-men. I’m sure you’ve seen meetings with him and his orbit. He says something, stupid as hell, and his cult claps, stands, cheers and/or laughs like it’s worthy of a Nobel. It’s seriously deranged behavior. It’s a cult. Except he’s just grandpa sundowner everyone agrees with to get in his good graces, or a child spouting nonsense while the parents just go “that’s nice dear” absent-mindedly. He’s so easy to fluff.
I feel we also devalue Bush jr. for the way he chose to speak to people. I feel you could call Bush a smart man, even politically savy, while still talking like a layman. However, Trump is genuinely dumb like his speech implies, and people just roll with it.
I feel you could call Bush a smart man
No.
He was dumb but playing dumber. I can’t think of many other examples of people like that except Joe Rogan.
Yeah, that I can get behind. His Texan shtick was an obvious act. But, even without that, I don’t think he had an IQ of 100. Like most politicians he had good emotional intelligence, and an ability to connect with people. Still, it was clear that even pretty basic concepts were a stretch for him.
There was a Histioriometry test done, and the journal Political Psychology estimated around a 119 for ol’ W.
And Trump weighs 224 lbs with 4.8% body fat.
Bush Jr was very good at recalling people’s names he met at some event years ago. That’s more a memory feat than intellicence, but useful in politics. My impression is that he wasn’t a stupid man, but instead, one of average intelligence, also lacking in intellectual curiosity.
By contrast, Trump is as dumb as a bag of hammers, couldn’t find his ass with both hands, a map and a flashlight, and yet he believes he’s the smartest guy in the room, which wouldn’t even be true if the room only contained him and a housefly.
I used to think that Trump was just dumb. But, recently I’ve become convinced that he’s actually able to seem smarter than he actually is. Meaning, he appears to have an IQ of maybe 90, but he’s faking it because he’s actually closer to 80. His various coping mechanisms allow him to seem smarter than he is, but that “smarter than he is” still doesn’t bring him up to average.
This is standard procedure for him. Something gives him an idea
so donvict watches public television. huh. the very same public television he wants to cut funding to…
and for entertainment purposes, not just to find ‘biased’ news reports to whine about in an overnight all-caps twitter tantrum.
He probably just didn’t know how to change the channel back to Newsmax.
He was mindlessly flicking through the channels until one seemed interesting.
I doubt his interest extends that far.
I’m sure he has a flunky to operate the remote for him.
Like a spoiled 4 year old in so many ways…
I’m sure there was another similar incident in the last few months when some “policy” came out of the blue, and someone connected it to something else that had just recently been on TV. But, finding something like that is nearly impossible. What do you search for, “crazy policy ideas, Trump, 2025” There are just mountains of BS to sift through.
He likes to free style
You see, geopolitics is like jazz…
Honestly he needs to enter into a wrap battle
If nothing else the US can be number one for wrap
He wasn’t watching PBS… so someone else told him to do it after watching it. Probably same person trying to find more reasons to defund PBS.
Ikr, him watching pbs would be a good onion though
See, I don’t know. He’s been posting about cutting funding, so I could see him turning it on expecting to see a bunch of queers making out with ostriches or whatever the fuck he thinks goes on at PBS but instead got an idea. Which is kind of sweet, if you think about it. That’s so PBS, they can’t help but educate even if the viewer is a fascist penis wrinkle.
Lmfao whatta coincidence!
It’s like a billion dollar rebuild and a multi million dollar yearly budget, why the fuck would we ever open this shithole ever again.
It lasted like 30 years specifically because sadly corroded the ever loving fuck out of everything and last I heard salt water isn’t any less salty then 1969.
I’m sure he wasn’t even aware of what station was airing the movie. He was flicking through the channels and saw one that was interesting.
So… You take a prison which:
- Generates $60M yearly from being currently a museum;
- Needs serious rebuilding and modernization to even function at all;
- Needs a way to be supplied with safe water, plus constant deliveries of all other necessities, likely by boat.
And you get:
- A prison which generates little to no revenue, while needing funds to be kept functioning.
- Only has its name and somber history going in its favor, because “prisoners should be afraid of the historic haunted prison”.
Yes. Brilliant idea, truly a Trump deal in all its glory, as we get to see how the casino-bankrupter’s mind works. Hopefully by the time the prison is ready Trump and his cronies get to be the first “tenants”. And whoever comes next declares the prison closed again and leaves them rotting there.
I bet he plans on charging rent to the prisoners at California rates or some bullshit
Somebody needs to just wave something shiny in front of him to distract him from this stupid idea.
Next up on truth social:
ONE OF MY SUBORDINATES JINGLED HIS KEYS IN FRONT OF ME FOR HOURS. I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS MUCH ENJOYMENT IN MY LIFE.
MAKE JINGLING KEYS GREAT AGAIN!
MJKGA!
An put a tariff on movies so he doesn’t do it again! Oh, wait…
The Honourable Groom of the Laser Pointer.
Yes…?
It was literally NEVER about the money being spent by the government. Anyone who actually believed that is by dictionary definition, dumb.
No it is what they said and they are lying. You confused fooled with dumb, anyone can be fooled such as anyone that thought Biden would do environmental issues and stop the destruction of our race etc
Nobody in the trump regime is ever going to prison because you wont elect me president…I, the only candidate who would actually guillotine traitors, imprison their cucks, and take all the wealth from criminally active billionaires and their labbyists, and cap wealth accumulation.
At this point you’re gonna have to do that first, and then I’ll elect you after, because we can’t trust any words spoken on the campaign trail by anyone anymore.
At the very least, you cant elect anyone who is wealthy.
But it is a typical Trump deal, selling vibes of “doing it the rough old way, with guns and hookers and lead paint and gasoline that makes your windows rainbow-colored”.
That’s what he sells. His fans know it’s not achievable, they want a mess sufficient for something better to evolve, and vibes for them signify that mess. It’s a bit like Shadow ideology in Babylon V.
Please get this man addicted to Star Trek: The Next Generation.
He would deport Geordi, Whorf and Data for not being white. And probably O’Brian for being Irish.
Ha ha irish being white! Whats next, italians? Ha ha ho ho
Whorf
I think I think i read that fanfic back in the 90s… co-starring Long-Luc Dickhard and Chestly Crushher?
Lieutenant Commander Dat Ass
He’d keep Guinan around?
Trump would send Guinan back home, where she would be immediately assimilated.
What if she used her Q-fightin’ powers
I bet tinyhands would think Big-ears are the good guys
He would emulate the protagonist Ferengi race… even more than he does now.
“I am hereby placing a 100% TARIFF on transport fees for any Q visiting from the Q Continuum. As you know, one of them turned me literally orange, ‘as a joke’. If this dangerous criminal is found in Federation space again, I have given out orders to immediately apprehend the Q responsible and hold him in Alcatraz Prison. The Q will then be ransomed back to the bloodthirsty murderers of the Q Continuum.”
Stop letting this man watch television.
Let him watch all the television he wants. Stop letting him interact with people and things.
Let him interact with people and things, but in a retirement home where he belongs.
THE FLETCHER MEMORIAL, HOME FOR INCURABLE TYRANTS AND KINGS
The only final solution I support.
No I’m thinking a bunker with 9 foot thick concrete walls, no door, a 1.5 inch diameter hole for air and McDonald’s french fries, a television and one of those brown blankets they wrap you in when your house burns down. And maybe if you put me in a good enough mood I wouldn’t turn a garden hose down the air shaft.
Sounds like a habitat for the world’s shittiest anchorite.
“Old man yells at cloud” isn’t the issue, “Old man can order airstrike on cloud” is.
*Nuke a hurricane
Alcatraz was a ridiculously expensive prison. That is why it closed down. Meanwhile as a museum it is actually generating millions of dollars every year in revenue.
Has he been there? Like it’s fuckin old. And small. Like really small. I don’t know if he can legally do that either. Since it’s a state park.
It’s a national park and trump doesn’t follow laws
Well yes but it has a cool sounding name
Simple solution.
Rename another prison alcatraz and tell Trump it’s up and running.
i mean, there’s the alcatraz of the rockies.
He really is a profoundly stupid man. Everyone who supports him should be ashamed of themselves.
His supporters have been so crippled by centuries of inbreeding they see him as their genius messiah, literally.
Inbreeding is more likely to produce offspring, but also more likely to produce offspring with genetic defects, and marrying someone very genetically different is less likely to produce offspring, but dangers are fewer.
I mean, provided you can’t find a neanderthal to marry today, the latter concern is not too important.
So both are not too bad, fertility is important sometimes. It’s the natural regulation of population.
BTW, about diversity and all that … it’s good, but triggers the psychological and biological mechanisms (EDIT: reducing fertility) in the parts of population smart enough to be diverse.
So nature also regulates such disturbances. Like the Force in Star Wars. Humanity works the way that if smartasses become too smart, dumbasses would have their asses so it would all cancel out to a more even distribution.
The good thing about this is that everyone who saw the rock movie knows the timing for the boiler room doors so they can easily escape
That man has dementia.
The last thing that America needs is another jail. They have more jails and inmates than any other country on the planet. Also it would cost much more to refurbish Alcatraz than it would to build a new jail. The orange rapist is an idiot.
I was close! I figured he’d just watched The Rock.
The story is far too complex for him in that one
There’s just no way he watches PBS documentaries
It’s a Clint Eastwood movie, not a documentary.
Not a documentary.
There’s just no way he watches PBS
documentariesFtfy
watches a movie about the most famous prison escape ever
thinks it would be good to open said prison
which is not based on real events but dumnald is so stupid he cannot tell the difference
OK, now that’s pretty funny.
