In a Truth Social post on Thursday, Trump announced that he was revising a lawsuit against The New York Times to include the organization’s polling research, which currently shows him tanking on everything from the economy and immigration to his handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files.
He would sue gravity for making him fall down if he could figure out a way. It’s always someone else to blame, never a single ounce of responsibility. So tough, not being g able to admit you are wrong or don’t know. So manly. So… Pathetic. Blathering blazerskite!
Grumpy Trumpy. How is that not a meme/his nickname? With shit like sleepy Joe I’m sure it would sting his fragile ego. Sometimes my occasional dyslexia has its advantages.
Tweedledon
That nickname is too cute, he deserves something like “pissy pants orange sack of shit”
What a pathetic toddler.
Grumpy Trumpy took a 'lil dumpy, right in his pants, and then did a little dance.
Weak, pathetic, traitor
From now on all polling questions must be asked in a way that benefits the administration.
polling research, which currently shows him tanking on everything from the economy and immigration to his handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files.
It is so infinitely moronic that some people thought he would be good for the economy. Trump is an idiot that just happened to be born rich, and he is absolutely evil and ruthless, and is lucky he is not in jail.
If Trump wasn’t rich, he would have been in jail by the age of 20.He always meant that he was good for the economy of the rich, and not the rest of us. That messaging was directly sent to the billionaire class, with a beneficial side effect of his moron supporters thinking he was sending that message to them, too.
Yes, and he absolutely shamelessly cut taxes for the rich. And anyone can do that if they don’t care about balancing the budgets. Which of course the tariffs were really for.
But it’s stupid tricks that will prove doubly harmful to the US economy in the long run.
some people thought
Some people don’t think.
The first time around, in 2016, there were a lot of “Trump will be great for the economy” takes. There were many unknowns at the time, so I can forgive people who believed that then. By the time 2024 came around, anyone with a pulse - or anyone who hadn’t attached their entire ego to him - knew better.
Plus when he was campaigning he laid out exactly how he was going to wreck the economy and raise most people’s taxes.
Guy in front of me in line to vote told his kid PEDOnald was going to make groceries more affordable. Morons.
A lot of people were 12 in 2016 and didn’t vote until 2024 and a lot of them voted for trump
They just thought it would be really funny to have that idiot in charge of the country. Too bad education is an afterthought?!
Oh, so you don’t remember when BIDEN CHEATED and immediately shut down the country and tried to inject us all with tracking devices, and we all lost our jobs and everyone died?
It’s ALWAYS the DEMONRATS
/s
My in-laws voted for Trump because they were certain Biden was going to outlaw Catholicism.
Lol. Did you tell them Biden is catholic.
Yeah, you really can’t get much dumber than that. Anyone that bought what that man was selling is a little shy in their bag of marbles.
How can anyone be that stupid? Seriously. It just boggles my mind, I’m too stupid to understand the depths of their stupidity.
I remember when Biden aided an internationally-recognized genocide.
I remember when this, as unfortunate as it is, is almost the same in both parties.
So no, you didn’t help Gaza by getting people to sit out. You made it worse for them and for us.
Yeah, that’s so much better now, isn’t it? But at least you can smugly bask in your self-righteous both-sides-ism.
No, Blue MAGA, those of us who are actual activists aren’t “basking” in anything while half the country cheers racism and the other half pretends their corporate-owned actors are an actual solution.
But I understand how you’d be confused, given the prevalence of the “we’d be out to brunch if Holocaust Harris got elected” narrative in your corporate-and-Zionist-owned party.
Thankfully the youth get it even if you don’t.
The problem with the youth is inexperience. They don’t understand why that won’t work. You need a strong candidate that’s not wholly owned by the other side. The sole role of all the damned independents so far was to dilute the primary vote from one side or the other so they could dump out in the 11th hour.
Right now independents are fighting corporations and billionaires with more money than god that can run smear campaigns. If you did manage to get somone like Stein in who has a lot of good answers to a lot of questions, neither side is going to let her do a damn thing. If you want independents in, you’re going to have to get them into Congress, and you’re going to have to fight all of corporate america to do so. It’s not enough to say, well I’d pass single-payer helathcare, you’d actually have to get over half of congress to do it and you know damn well they clowns in control aren’t going to do that.
You need a strong candidate that’s not wholly owned by the other side
You mean like Bernie Sanders who the DNC openly rigged their primaries against and then had a court declare they were within their legal right to do so?
“[W]e could have voluntarily decided that, Look, we’re gonna go into back rooms like they used to and smoke cigars and pick the candidate that way. That’s not the way it was done. But they could have. And that would have also been their right…” - DNC attorney Bruce Spiva
I don’t disagree with what you’re saying about independents and Congress, etc etc. Personally, I do not think America is salvageable. I think it will bleed out slowly like Rome, with corruption scandals and civil rights decay and further-ballooning inequality and de-facto balkanization, until one day, someone looks around and realizes that the USA is functionally gone. I always think about the quote where someone asks a gambler how they lost all their money. Their response: “Slowly at first, then all at once.” I think that is how America will fall, and indeed, already is falling.
That’s why I already half-jokingly refer to myself as a citizen of the New California Republic lol. But if I’m wrong and there is any chance of salvaging the nation, I am completely certain that the ironically-fundamentally-undemocratic DNC offers no path to that outcome. No institution which accepts money from corporations or Zionists will ever serve the American people.
Good thing Trump put that to bed then huh
There’s plenty of room for both of them in the Hague, even with Trump’s considerable circumference
Why did you support Trump if you think he should be in The Hague?
Covid fucked the economy, not Trump.
It’s hard to argue against because the first part is undeniably true. It’s just that the second bit is bullshit, and you can absolutely double-fuck an economy.
Trump was fucking the economy well before COVID. His first-term trade war with China was doing serious damage to several different sectors of US manufacturing, pig and soy farmers, and the price of many durable goods.
The problem is that everybody has the memory of a goldfish.
I can forgive people who believed that then
You do you. But no, their ignorance and racism doesn’t warrant forgiveness.
Trump bankrupted a Casino, a business that by its very nature should be virtually impossible to sink.
Casinos have an initial cost to open, they have some costs to run, but their chief interest is People who have a problem where they give away too much of their money to try to win big, give you all their money, occasionally you have to give a fraction back so it feels less as if the house always wins.
He did it by building another one just down the road from the first one. He didn’t pay the people who built it driving many of them into bankruptcy. You only have to look at what he has done to know he is the worst possible person to make a legal buck.
Crazy that he gets away with the number of people he’s just, straight up declined to pay.
You’d think after some point either
- People stop working with him
- The people he ripped off track him down to murder his ass
But that never happned, somehow.
Refusing to pay is actually a pretty common trait amongst the extreme narcissistic billionaires.
I just watch that 4 part documentary on Pdiddy and he also refused to pay anyone. He didn’t even pay when he had 2Pac killed!
I know a guy who sold a car and the check bounced. The next morning he was up and on the road. He walked in the guys business and beat the guy down. Then he told him if he didn’t have his money he was going to kill him. The guy talked him out of killing him and called his wife. He had her bring the money. Somehow he never heard a word about it from the cops. I really think he had the guy convinced he was going to kill him. I don’t think he would but I wouldn’t call his bluff if he came at me. Kinda crazy eyes when he gets excited.
I did collections a couple of times for friends. My method was to walk right into their house at dinner time, sit down at their table and tell them that payment was due in 24 hours, or there would be consequences. I’d then give them instructions on how to make the drop. “Go to X place at Y time, await further instructions.” Nothing complex.
You need to know your mark. There are people I knew who’d have shot me dead if I’d tried that on them. But the people I did this to were nice middle-class folks who were seeing what they could get away with. In both cases, they paid up. At that time, I wasn’t much of a physical specimen, but had an intense, manic vibe and could deal with most forms of physical aggression. Due to the nature of the transaction, they wouldn’t have thought of involving the police.
It was also a good education for me, since I learned about the kind of things you had to do for so-called easy money, and I realised that I really didn’t want to do them.
One of the people I was collecting for didn’t draw the same conclusion. About a year later he was pistol-whipped badly because he thought he could cheat his suppliers. He got some front teeth knocked out, a cracked eye socket and a broken cheekbone as a souvenir. I was slightly surprised they didn’t just kill him, or at least curbstomp him. He left the state soon after getting out of the hospital.
Anyone nostalgic for late-1970s Los Angeles probably wasn’t there.
You are talking about drug deals and I’m talking about one car dealer who tried to rip off another car dealer.
Trump also bankrupted the USFL a football league that was big enough to make the Number 1 draft pick choose between the NFL and USFL…he’s going to crash the US like all his bullshit businesses
Wait wait wait, are you suggesting - actually suggesting - that trump supporters are . . Ha! . . What? Stupid as fuck?
C’mon now. Get real.
Yes I am, Stupid as fuck is the correct technical term, but more than that, they are also delusional and most of them are without empathy towards the people they knew would be hurt.
To vote for Trump is so bad, it has to be described as close to mental illness to vote for him, because it’s an act of self harm for most people that did it.
But I have no compassion for those people despite their mental illness, they were warned over and over and again and again. That a 2nd term with Trump would be far worse than the first.
Trump wasn’t really rich. He was just good at getting loans. He might actually have some real cash now, considering all the grifts he’s been running while in office.
The one thing I can say is glad the NYT is having to deal with his bullshit since they sanewashed him
And yet Fox, who has done much much worse, is not.
This isn’t the onion?
How is this not an Onion headline?
Because it’s Trump. Trump is worse than the onion even when he isn’t trying.
Reminder: https://lemmy.ca/post/58668896
Here ya go. This is worth posting so people don’t have to click.
As you wish.
This butthurt baby keeps doing things you would have assumed were only The Onion headlines a few years ago…
Preemie babies have thicker skin.
Fresh pudding has thicker skin.
Go scarf down a few hundred cheeseburgers then, crybaby.
Weak, ugly, pathetic, loser!!!
Alternative link if you don’t want to give the daily beast any traffic:

Any particular reason the daily beast is bad. It did always seem a bit like a sloppy repost station but didn’t seem offensively bad?
I just don’t like their clickbaity sensationalist headlines.
In addition, they’re very tabloidesque in their style. I visit their site sometimes, but their signal-to-noise ratio isn’t great, and there’s often less to their stories than meets the eye. But sometimes you can get some interesting perspectives from them, despite the bullshit.
It’s a wonder they haven’t outlawed these polls
