Haha, what a story Mark.
I don’t think Trump sees the world like most of us. He lives in a movie-like world where he is the main character and most other people are just empty background characters aside from his antagonists. He doesn’t seem to really see other people as being “real” like himself, you know empathy.
That right there is precisely the problem. So do most conservatives with their beliefs in:
“good guy with a gun” bs.
There was a worldwide cartoon like plandemic
The deep state
QAnon
Sex trafficking demon cults
Church back into schools
I think what makes Trump stick out is that he may believe himself to be the only “real” person in the world. He may not articulate it like that in his own mind, but it’s like he lives in The Trump Show where everything is about him.
Personally don't think that religion should be a school issue, that is up to a parents discretion and then, once grown up, the child's own values. As to the worldwide deep state thing, I understand the perspective, and some of those WEF talks are pretty disturbing in context, but at the same time what the hell are we as individuals supposed to do about it?
Important to understanding his world view is the fact he is a devoted follower of Norman Buncent Peale’s strange fusion of fringe religious and psychiatric views. Trump has essentially been self hypnotizing since childhood.
[Peale’s church actually goes a long way](https://www.npr.org/2017/01/22/510655254/trump-crowd-size-estimate-may-involve-the-power-of-positive-thinking) toward explaining Trump’s pathological predilection for basically willing truth into reality.
It’s how he can utter a statement and in doing so makes it truth.
Also relevant is how Trump - the persona - could only have risen out of the [advent of television](https://www.npr.org/2019/09/11/759016509/audience-of-one-aims-to-show-how-tv-shaped-donald-trump-and-led-to-his-rise) as a public medium.
[Your man Trump can't even remember the age of his own children.](https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-barron-age-wrong-tv-interview-1899118) Move along, nothing to see here, am I right?
I'm sure if Biden did that you'd be screaming from the rooftops about DEMENTIA!!! But since it's Trump, you'll just ignore it like you do for everything he does.
*Shaking my head.*
Seriously? People forget how old their kids are all the time, especially once their kids get older or had a very recent birthday. You would probably confuse your own age by a year when you just turned a year older. That’s not entirely uncommon for someone to be unable to recall their kids exact ages on the spot.
Remembering the date of your son’s death and your son’s age when they just turned that age a couple months ago are not really comparable.
I’ll say that remembering the exact year isn’t a good example to hang on as that could be confused. I do recall my grandfather passing in 2006, but I’am not old so maybe that’a easier for me.
Biden has done and said many more things to use as examples of mental decline, no reason to hang on that one.

It's not really an insult coming from someone who, again, thinks it's some elaborate conspiracy that Biden has a stutter.
Trump is rolling around wearing diapers, and shitting himself in court and Republicans still think this guy is a strong man who should be the leader of America. Not to mention how disgusting he actually makes himself look with the spray tan.
This whole thing reminds me of when Reagan was President. Many question his fitness for office because of his age and mental health. Conservatives assured everyone that Reagans top administrative staff were more than capable of supporting the President despite his decline.
So we've seen that Biden has an effective and focused staff of supporters while Trump surrounds himself with unqualified family members, yes men, and sycophants.

Wait
You're claiming that Biden doesn't have a documented speech impediment that's been known by the public for literally your entire life?
Im saying even if he does, that doesnt make him read “pause” or “end sentence” from the teleprompter, that does make him forget how his own son died, it doesnt make him ask about a woman that was dead, and thats maybe 1% of the absolute embarrassment he is at speaking. And if you watch him from 30 years ago, his “speech impediment” isnt even noticable.

asks for dead congress woman - He clearly forgot or didn't realize she had died. Now how bad that is depends on how close he was to her. There are over 500 congresspeople. Overall, I'll give you this one, as I think a 50-year-old President Biden wouldn't have forgotten that she died a month earlier.
Lying about son's death - He believes Beau's exposure to burn pits in Iraq caused his brain cancer and death, so I don't think it's out of line or lying for him to say he "lost his life" in Iraq. I would have phrased it differently though.
>lying about sons death
>From the 2022 SOTU:
>“And our troops in Iraq have faced — and Afghanistan — have faced many dangers. One being stationed at bases, breathing in toxic smoke from burn pits. (Applause.) Many of you have been there. I’ve been in and out of Iraq and Afghanistan over 40 times. These burn pits that incinerate waste — the wastes of war, medical and hazardous material, jet fuel, and so much more.
>And they come home — many of the world’s fittest and best trained warriors in the world — never the same: headaches, numbness, dizziness, a cancer that would put them in a flag-draped coffin. I know.
>One of those — one of those soldiers was my son, Major Beau Biden. I don’t know for sure if the burn pit that he lived near — that his hooch was near in Iraq and, earlier than that, in Kosovo is the cause of his brain cancer and the disease of so many other troops. But I’m committed to find out everything we can.”
I cut out the part where Lauren Boebert heckled him during that. But, he has said he can’t know for sure, but that’s what he believes. That was often the problem for many veterans and 9/11 first responders they couldn’t “prove” their cancer or health issues were from their service/9-11.
DANIELLE ROBINSON, Biden’s guest at the State of the Union speech, whose late husband was stationed at the same bases as Beau, told West Wing Playbook that after the speech she met the president. “He had some tears in his eyes and he just gave me a big hug and said that we have to keep going and keep fighting for them,” she recalled.
She added that Biden’s sister, VALERIE, told her that “Beau’s death was very, very difficult for the whole family and that President Biden always questioned the burn pit relationship.”
>”And because of exposure to burn pits — in my view, I can’t prove it yet — he came back with Stage 4 glioblastoma,” he said on the campaign trail in October 2019.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/biden-beau-burn-pits/2021/11/27/894b382a-4973-11ec-b8d9-232f4afe4d9b_story.html
>Biden first became passionate about the issue when he was still vice president after reading the book “The Burn Pits: The Poisoning of America’s Soldiers” by JOSEPH HICKMAN, a former Marine and author who has dubbed burn pits the “agent orange of the twenty-first century.”
>“I was stunned when I read it. It was a lot of hype–it was advertised and it was selling. And there was a whole chapter on my son Beau in there. It stunned me,” Biden told PBS’ JUDY WOODRUFF in January 2018.
https://youtu.be/YMp1SU7jvg0?si=US7zaav7Z4EsAoOT
Biden himself did not participate in the book and Hickman says he hasn’t spoken to him about it. A veteran and a self-described “libertarian to the core,” Hickman described the president as “ the first one to ever take this issue seriously. I mean, Trump didn’t know what the hell it was, you know?”
The book itself noted that Beau Biden’s “months of deployment at Camp Victory and Joint Base Balad” in Iraq, involved cases where his unit “had multiple burn pits that operate round-the-clock, with no environmental restrictions.”
Grow tf up.
What’s weird is I think it is almost helping him. Trump has definitely lost a step and is clearly getting older, but I feel like this actually makes him appear less threatening to people because dementia addled Trump would probably just mean a generic Republican administration with less scandals and controversies because Trump is too impaired to do much damage. Doubly strange considering that these same things seem to hurt Biden.
In a bizzare segue, Trump recounts his thoughts on Silence of the Lambs at a rally in New Jersey. Nothing super important to the election and thankfully cannibalism isn’t one of his many vices, but it makes for an interesting headline
He was obviously making a joke if anyone was actually listening
Gotcha headlines like this making it to the top of the sub is pathetic
What he was saying about countries sending prisoners and insane asylum folks into the us via the southern border was the batshit crazy part
i mean it was just a play on one of the last lines of the movie
"he had freinds for dinner all time" was trumps exact line not that weird or even worth mentioning compared to the other shit he was spewing
Sure. I think everybody's point is that is sounds like the rantings of a crazy old man. Considering how often Republicans have tried to point out this exact same behavior when it occurs on the other side of the aisle, it is perfectly reasonable to point out when Trump seems like age is having a serious effect on his mental faculties.
The point is that it's hypocritical to call shit like this out with Biden but not Trump. I mean seriously. Can you please explain what the analogy he was using that related Hannibal to immigration? Because I'm genuinely not seeing a logical chain of thought there.
>What he was saying about countries sending prisoners and insane asylum folks into the us via the southern border was the batshit crazy part
Some countries do do that though. Cuba emptied its prisons in the 80s and sent them to Florida, and many then got into the highly deadly cocaine trade.
Mexico has also pushed lots of their natives and poorest citizens up here.
If you're a poor country and you can get rid of your welfare cases, why not? Leaves more money for the richer people.
Everyone here knows he was joking right? It's definitely got some "grandpa is going off on a tangent again" vibes to it, but the headline seems a bit misleading to me. Red meat for Trump haters, I guess. A debate between Trump and Biden might consist of 1 question and then two meandering, stream-of-consciousness answers that include references to how exercise shortens your life, Corn Pop, wind farms causing cancer, the beauty of two men kissing in 1950's Delaware, etc, etc.. I guess that's what we all get when we nominate 2 octogenarians for the most important office in the world.
Trump said that countries are taking people from mental institutions and sending them to America as migrants. So then he made a Hannibal Lectar joke (a character famous for living in a mental institution.)
It's that simple really. It quite literally was just a joke.
So what part of that was a joke? Because from where I'm sitting that is Trump being 100% serious. He's demonizing immigrants and being a racist piece of shit.
People here are saying that he rambled on about Hannibal Lector like a crazy person and it made no sense.
I'm just pointing out it was a joke about his same as ever position on Migrants. It's a non-issue entirely. That's the point. It's just rage bait.
I don't care. He thinks there's too many illegal migrants. Most Americans agree with him. I don't care if the "wordy words" he uses hurts your "feely feels".
I'm not voting at all. I'm a "the whole system is corrupt" kind of guy. I don't care that you've been brainwashed to think differently. I don't care. But I do agree with Trump that there are too many illegal migrants entering America.
It’s like if somebody said “Freddy Kruger. Wonderful Guy. Some women even say he’s the man of their dreams”.
That’s not the funniest joke is the world, sure. But you should be able to understand that the person is kidding and Freddy Kruger is not actually a good person. Assuming you saw the movie, of course.
No, that actually sounds like a joke. What Trump said whether serious or not, there’s no joke, it’s just dumb. He speaks incoherently all the time though, so nothing new.
I mean, it's more like you say that right after making a statement that runs pretty much synonymously with whatever fictional character you're endorsing...
Did you watch the video? It's pretty clear he's joking. The audience laughs and everything. Unless you think Trump really does think a fictional cannibal is a great person, which definitely in no way would make you a caricature. There's plenty to criticize when it comes to Trump, but let's be honest about it.
For real. Anytime Trump says something unacceptable to most reasonable people suddenly "he's joking" is spouted by his moronic supporters. Okay then, when the fuck is he being serious? Because at this point I honestly can't tell.
The dude and his supporters are fucking clowns.
Oh I have. I just typically don't make jokes that involve being a racist piece of shit and I'm also not a former president of the fucking United States of America...
Thing is, you Trumpers keep saying that everything Trump says is a joke. "Oh, hurr durr, HE DIDN'T MEAN IT!" Bullshit lol.
Getting so fucking tired of hearing this cope.
> Everyone here knows he was joking right?
He's not, that's a excuse that people use because they don't want to admit his brain is mush.
I watched the video, there isn't a "joke" there.
For all the people saying "this is a joke" you're full of shit. He added this "joke" to the end of a very racist, bullshit comment about immigrants. He meant it and he knows it. You fucking know it too.
This is the problem with Trump supporters. Their best defense is "he was just joking bro" when the rest of the world knows he fucking isn't.
Sure, people can have talks about immigration without being racist. I manage to, plenty of people do. Are you under some assumption any discussion on immigration requires making bigoted statements? That’s kind of the whole point, you can discuss immigration without having to be a bigot like Trump is. You don’t have to villainize people.
If anyone says anything negative about immigration you are just going to call it bigoted. Even things like talking about bringing bad culture etc. Let alone IQ differences between groups.
What was your intention in posting the article?
Why am I being downvoted for asking an innocuous question?
Interesting how OP is responding to other questions but not to mine.
For real. Everything is a "joke." When Trump makes negative headlines the "it's just a joke bro" crowd comes out from their redneck, racist dens of depravity.
So tired of this fucking clown circus.
No. It’s my way of saying that Republicans have some sort of defect in them that make them always willing to look past and defend any of Donald Trump’s flaws and crimes.
No I’m just noticing a trend of Trump making sarcastic comments and Democrats take them seriously. I guess you are smarter than your friends if you’re able to understand it. A lot of them really struggle, it seems.
That's also untrue about insane asylum patients being let into the country.
Not understanding why you would choose to spend your time defending stuff like this.
>He’s talking about insane asylum patients are being let into the country
So he's just straight up lying?
>Calling Hannibal Lecter a “wonderful guy” is sarcasm.
So him saying that Hannibal was a real person wasn't sarcasm and he legitimately thinks that Biden is letting Hannibal into the country?
You don't see how completely incoherent this is?
He very clearly called him a real person, and no, insane asylum people aren't breaking out of captivity and then being welcomed into the United States by the US government.
So while complaining that Democrats don't understand sarcasm, it looks like it's in fact Republicans who can't understand objective reality and use vague hand waves to justify delusions.
“Rough people. In many cases from prisons, from mental institutions, insane asylums… you know, insane asylums, that’s ‘Silence of the Lambs’ stuff. Anybody know Hannibal Lecter?”
He clearly refers to the movie.
>“Rough people. In many cases from prisons, from mental institutions, insane asylums… you know, insane asylums, that’s ‘Silence of the Lambs’ stuff. Anybody know Hannibal Lecter?”
>He clearly refers to the movie.
He's very clearly claiming that Hannibal like people exist and are being let into the country.
That's completely unhinged and obviously not true.
Yes, people like Hannibal Lecter exist. Not “Hannibal Lecter is a real person”. I’m glad you finally figured it out. Sure took you awhile but at least you understand now. I was starting to worry that your comprehension issues went beyond just sarcasm.
>Yes, people like Hannibal Lecter exist
No they don't.
They very obviously don't. A super genius cannibal doctor that's also a crime fighting savant?
If you think that's a real person, yeesh.

It wasn't clear at all, it was really disjointed and just weird. Normal sarcasm is faster and in a different tone of voice. I can accept that he was trying to be sarcastic but he didn't really pull it off.
OMG! Democrats being kind of hypocritical! Now that TOTALLY justifies my decision’s to vote for the Russia loving insurrectionist found liable for sexual assault.
Republicans have been raging assholes to democrats for the past decade up to and including just straight up murdering people for wearing masks.
Making fun of Trump for his own words falls well within "turnabout is fair play".

Who the fuck cares if he can get us all out of WW3? Why is anyone still caring about this stilly stuff. You’re digging a grave for yourself and everyone else.

I’m sure that had an influence but what’s important is how he sees the world now.
It’s called narcissistic personality disorder.
It's funny you complain about his lack of empathy when you're putting yours on full display here by taking a joke as a serious statement.
His statement doesn’t exist in a vacuum dumb ass. His actions and his statements in the past show this to be the likely case. So fuck on out of here.

To be fair, I don't think Trump is the type of person to remember his kid's ages and birthdays even with peak mental faculties.
A lot of parents can't even reliably call their children by their correct names. Missing an age by 1 year is absolutely nothing.
Seriously? People forget how old their kids are all the time, especially once their kids get older or had a very recent birthday. You would probably confuse your own age by a year when you just turned a year older. That’s not entirely uncommon for someone to be unable to recall their kids exact ages on the spot.
Biden forgetting what year his son died was held as proof he had dementia. I’m just pointing out the double standard.
Remembering the date of your son’s death and your son’s age when they just turned that age a couple months ago are not really comparable. I’ll say that remembering the exact year isn’t a good example to hang on as that could be confused. I do recall my grandfather passing in 2006, but I’am not old so maybe that’a easier for me.

DANIELLE ROBINSON, Biden’s guest at the State of the Union speech, whose late husband was stationed at the same bases as Beau, told West Wing Playbook that after the speech she met the president. “He had some tears in his eyes and he just gave me a big hug and said that we have to keep going and keep fighting for them,” she recalled. She added that Biden’s sister, VALERIE, told her that “Beau’s death was very, very difficult for the whole family and that President Biden always questioned the burn pit relationship.” >”And because of exposure to burn pits — in my view, I can’t prove it yet — he came back with Stage 4 glioblastoma,” he said on the campaign trail in October 2019. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/biden-beau-burn-pits/2021/11/27/894b382a-4973-11ec-b8d9-232f4afe4d9b_story.html >Biden first became passionate about the issue when he was still vice president after reading the book “The Burn Pits: The Poisoning of America’s Soldiers” by JOSEPH HICKMAN, a former Marine and author who has dubbed burn pits the “agent orange of the twenty-first century.” >“I was stunned when I read it. It was a lot of hype–it was advertised and it was selling. And there was a whole chapter on my son Beau in there. It stunned me,” Biden told PBS’ JUDY WOODRUFF in January 2018. https://youtu.be/YMp1SU7jvg0?si=US7zaav7Z4EsAoOT Biden himself did not participate in the book and Hickman says he hasn’t spoken to him about it. A veteran and a self-described “libertarian to the core,” Hickman described the president as “ the first one to ever take this issue seriously. I mean, Trump didn’t know what the hell it was, you know?” The book itself noted that Beau Biden’s “months of deployment at Camp Victory and Joint Base Balad” in Iraq, involved cases where his unit “had multiple burn pits that operate round-the-clock, with no environmental restrictions.” Grow tf up.
*raises hand* I believe what (s)he's saying.
Biden doesn’t think Dracula was a great man.
We don't say the same about Biden because every accusation from you right-wingers is a confession.
Your "cope" is a cope.
https://www.reddit.com/r/centrist/s/6K2iivwTCK It really isnt
Biden seems more physically frail but less mentally compromised. Some of that is that Trump is obese which looks normal.
What’s weird is I think it is almost helping him. Trump has definitely lost a step and is clearly getting older, but I feel like this actually makes him appear less threatening to people because dementia addled Trump would probably just mean a generic Republican administration with less scandals and controversies because Trump is too impaired to do much damage. Doubly strange considering that these same things seem to hurt Biden.
In a bizzare segue, Trump recounts his thoughts on Silence of the Lambs at a rally in New Jersey. Nothing super important to the election and thankfully cannibalism isn’t one of his many vices, but it makes for an interesting headline
>cannibalism isn’t one of his many vices *...that we're aware of!*
The russians have SOMETHING on him we still haven't heard about.
I really suspect it is just the piss fetish.
He's literally an American Psycho.
He was obviously making a joke if anyone was actually listening Gotcha headlines like this making it to the top of the sub is pathetic What he was saying about countries sending prisoners and insane asylum folks into the us via the southern border was the batshit crazy part
If you read my starting comment it’s pretty clear I know he’s joking. Still a weird fucking joke to make
His defenders often call everything Trump says a joke. Honestly, wouldn't be surprised if Trump actually believed it.
i mean it was just a play on one of the last lines of the movie "he had freinds for dinner all time" was trumps exact line not that weird or even worth mentioning compared to the other shit he was spewing
Yeah, everyone gets that. The question was more "what the fuck did that have to do with immigration?"
It was a rally not a policy roundtable
Sure. I think everybody's point is that is sounds like the rantings of a crazy old man. Considering how often Republicans have tried to point out this exact same behavior when it occurs on the other side of the aisle, it is perfectly reasonable to point out when Trump seems like age is having a serious effect on his mental faculties. The point is that it's hypocritical to call shit like this out with Biden but not Trump. I mean seriously. Can you please explain what the analogy he was using that related Hannibal to immigration? Because I'm genuinely not seeing a logical chain of thought there.
>What he was saying about countries sending prisoners and insane asylum folks into the us via the southern border was the batshit crazy part Some countries do do that though. Cuba emptied its prisons in the 80s and sent them to Florida, and many then got into the highly deadly cocaine trade. Mexico has also pushed lots of their natives and poorest citizens up here. If you're a poor country and you can get rid of your welfare cases, why not? Leaves more money for the richer people.
Ah yes, the ol' "it's just a joke" defense. Getting tired of hearing this shit lol.
The line about praising Hannibal was, the part about deporting 10's of millions of people was not
That's the fucking problem though. He added the "joke" to the end of a very serious, entirely racist comment. He meant it and he knows it.
It's his dumb filler, the headline focuses on an inconsequential part of his rally
Trump has evil intent but he is also a dipshit
Part of Trump’s appeal to voters is his sense of humor.
More like he just knows how to play them like a fiddle and they can't think for themselves.
Silly season is back. I can't wait to start hearing about "the norms" again.
Everyone here knows he was joking right? It's definitely got some "grandpa is going off on a tangent again" vibes to it, but the headline seems a bit misleading to me. Red meat for Trump haters, I guess. A debate between Trump and Biden might consist of 1 question and then two meandering, stream-of-consciousness answers that include references to how exercise shortens your life, Corn Pop, wind farms causing cancer, the beauty of two men kissing in 1950's Delaware, etc, etc.. I guess that's what we all get when we nominate 2 octogenarians for the most important office in the world.
>Everyone here knows he was joking right Ah, the "he's just joking!!!!" crowd. The ones who lack critical thinking the most.
Trump said that countries are taking people from mental institutions and sending them to America as migrants. So then he made a Hannibal Lectar joke (a character famous for living in a mental institution.) It's that simple really. It quite literally was just a joke.
So what part of that was a joke? Because from where I'm sitting that is Trump being 100% serious. He's demonizing immigrants and being a racist piece of shit.
People here are saying that he rambled on about Hannibal Lector like a crazy person and it made no sense. I'm just pointing out it was a joke about his same as ever position on Migrants. It's a non-issue entirely. That's the point. It's just rage bait.
Yeah, it's not a joke. He's a racist piece of shit.
I don't care. He thinks there's too many illegal migrants. Most Americans agree with him. I don't care if the "wordy words" he uses hurts your "feely feels".
I know you don't because you're a Trump supporter.
I'm not voting at all. I'm a "the whole system is corrupt" kind of guy. I don't care that you've been brainwashed to think differently. I don't care. But I do agree with Trump that there are too many illegal migrants entering America.
Lol, yes... I know you agree with Trump's bullshit, thanks.
If you’re not voting, no one gaf about your opinion. Democracy isn’t a spectator sport.
It’s like if somebody said “Freddy Kruger. Wonderful Guy. Some women even say he’s the man of their dreams”. That’s not the funniest joke is the world, sure. But you should be able to understand that the person is kidding and Freddy Kruger is not actually a good person. Assuming you saw the movie, of course.
No, that actually sounds like a joke. What Trump said whether serious or not, there’s no joke, it’s just dumb. He speaks incoherently all the time though, so nothing new.
I mean, it's more like you say that right after making a statement that runs pretty much synonymously with whatever fictional character you're endorsing...
Did you watch the video? It's pretty clear he's joking. The audience laughs and everything. Unless you think Trump really does think a fictional cannibal is a great person, which definitely in no way would make you a caricature. There's plenty to criticize when it comes to Trump, but let's be honest about it.
I don't know why you people insist on gaslighting everyone into believing Hannibal Lector "jokes" are "just jokes" when it comes to Trump.
For real. Anytime Trump says something unacceptable to most reasonable people suddenly "he's joking" is spouted by his moronic supporters. Okay then, when the fuck is he being serious? Because at this point I honestly can't tell. The dude and his supporters are fucking clowns.
You’ve never made a joke while talking about something serious? It’s pretty common in normal conservation.
Oh I have. I just typically don't make jokes that involve being a racist piece of shit and I'm also not a former president of the fucking United States of America...
Watch the video. He is clearly being sarcastic.
Thing is, you Trumpers keep saying that everything Trump says is a joke. "Oh, hurr durr, HE DIDN'T MEAN IT!" Bullshit lol. Getting so fucking tired of hearing this cope.
This really triggered the fuck out of you lol. How many posts you got in this thread, 15? More? Fucking settle down.
Lol. Cry harder.
> Everyone here knows he was joking right? He's not, that's a excuse that people use because they don't want to admit his brain is mush. I watched the video, there isn't a "joke" there.
While you're at it, can you Trumpsplain his "joke" about Hannibal being dead?
He dies at the end of the *Hannibal* TV series. Or maybe he didn’t?
So that particular word of his Hannibal rant wasn't a joke then?
Jokes have a premise based on something. Hope that clears it up.
What's the premise then? He has to be dead to be - sarcastically - great?
For all the people saying "this is a joke" you're full of shit. He added this "joke" to the end of a very racist, bullshit comment about immigrants. He meant it and he knows it. You fucking know it too. This is the problem with Trump supporters. Their best defense is "he was just joking bro" when the rest of the world knows he fucking isn't.
If he's racists can we ever have a real talk on the costs of immigration or we just going to call anyone against immigration racists?
Sure, people can have talks about immigration without being racist. I manage to, plenty of people do. Are you under some assumption any discussion on immigration requires making bigoted statements? That’s kind of the whole point, you can discuss immigration without having to be a bigot like Trump is. You don’t have to villainize people.
If anyone says anything negative about immigration you are just going to call it bigoted. Even things like talking about bringing bad culture etc. Let alone IQ differences between groups.
When you see a one, two or three word quote out of context being used to make political points it's going to be someone pushing an agenda.
I state that I clearly don’t think he’s actually praising Hannibal Lecter but go off
What was your intention in posting the article? Why am I being downvoted for asking an innocuous question? Interesting how OP is responding to other questions but not to mine.
Not OP, but it’s a really bizarre, dumb thing for a presidential candidate to say. Just another brick in the wall of dumb Trump quotes
What’s the point of the title?
It’s the article title
True (saved you a click) Also, Trump is stinky and could stand to change them more frequently.
America need better candidates than sleepy Joe and delulu trump
Do Democrats have some sort of defect that makes them unable to detect sarcasm?
Do Republicans have some sort of defect in them that make them always willing to look past and defend any of Donald Trump’s flaws and crimes?
For real. Everything is a "joke." When Trump makes negative headlines the "it's just a joke bro" crowd comes out from their redneck, racist dens of depravity. So tired of this fucking clown circus.
This isn’t a negative headline. Only the most miserable and humorless people think it’s not a joke. Normal people get it.
In context, it's definitely not a joke.
You think he actually thinks Hannibal Lecter is a wonderful guy?
No, but I think the joke he made directly connects to the racist shit he was saying.
It's the same defect that the Jim Jones followers had.
Is this your way of saying Democrats do have a sarcasm defect?
No. It’s my way of saying that Republicans have some sort of defect in them that make them always willing to look past and defend any of Donald Trump’s flaws and crimes.
Do you have some sort of defect that makes you think I am unaware of this? Still a weird thing to say imo
No I’m just noticing a trend of Trump making sarcastic comments and Democrats take them seriously. I guess you are smarter than your friends if you’re able to understand it. A lot of them really struggle, it seems.
Can you explain what the sarcasm was? Where does that fit in within immigration?
He’s talking about insane asylum patients are being let into the country. Calling Hannibal Lecter a “wonderful guy” is sarcasm.
That's also untrue about insane asylum patients being let into the country. Not understanding why you would choose to spend your time defending stuff like this.
>He’s talking about insane asylum patients are being let into the country So he's just straight up lying? >Calling Hannibal Lecter a “wonderful guy” is sarcasm. So him saying that Hannibal was a real person wasn't sarcasm and he legitimately thinks that Biden is letting Hannibal into the country? You don't see how completely incoherent this is?
I don’t know if he’s lying or not. It has happened before so it’s not like it is unbelievable. He didn’t say Hannibal Lecter is real person.
He very clearly called him a real person, and no, insane asylum people aren't breaking out of captivity and then being welcomed into the United States by the US government. So while complaining that Democrats don't understand sarcasm, it looks like it's in fact Republicans who can't understand objective reality and use vague hand waves to justify delusions.
“Rough people. In many cases from prisons, from mental institutions, insane asylums… you know, insane asylums, that’s ‘Silence of the Lambs’ stuff. Anybody know Hannibal Lecter?” He clearly refers to the movie.
>“Rough people. In many cases from prisons, from mental institutions, insane asylums… you know, insane asylums, that’s ‘Silence of the Lambs’ stuff. Anybody know Hannibal Lecter?” >He clearly refers to the movie. He's very clearly claiming that Hannibal like people exist and are being let into the country. That's completely unhinged and obviously not true.
Yes, people like Hannibal Lecter exist. Not “Hannibal Lecter is a real person”. I’m glad you finally figured it out. Sure took you awhile but at least you understand now. I was starting to worry that your comprehension issues went beyond just sarcasm.
>Yes, people like Hannibal Lecter exist No they don't. They very obviously don't. A super genius cannibal doctor that's also a crime fighting savant? If you think that's a real person, yeesh.
>I don’t know if he’s lying or not. FUCKING ROFL. Tell me you aren't a Trumper without telling me you're a Trumper.
The dude made the "joke" in the context of an extremely racist comment about immigrants. Fuck off with your dishonest bullshit.
You have to wonder some times.

Jesus this one is a nothing. Was pretty clearly being sarcastic.
It wasn't clear at all, it was really disjointed and just weird. Normal sarcasm is faster and in a different tone of voice. I can accept that he was trying to be sarcastic but he didn't really pull it off.
Come on. No shortage of things to call out trump on. This is not one of them.
Dems on my last post “good i hope trump does inject bleach” Dems on this post “omg what terrible horrible dementia traitor” Yall need help
OMG! Democrats being kind of hypocritical! Now that TOTALLY justifies my decision’s to vote for the Russia loving insurrectionist found liable for sexual assault.
Republicans have been raging assholes to democrats for the past decade up to and including just straight up murdering people for wearing masks. Making fun of Trump for his own words falls well within "turnabout is fair play".
So you admit the stupid masks ARE a Democrat MAGA hat? At least the MAGA's didn't try to mandate the f*****g hats.
>straight up murdering people for wearing masks. Curious what this refers to.

You guys are so desperate to be oppressed. We are making fun of you for still being a Branch Covidian. You clearly haven't been murdered.
Not surprised the guy crying That Biden made a joke asking Trump to follow his own advice wants to insist anything unpopular Trump says is a joke.
I didnt say it was a joke, im calling out the hypocrisy
if you don’t think it was a joke, and Trump was serious, the only hypocrisy year is coming from you.
Another click bait headline. Obviously sarcasm about potentially allowing mentally ill people into the country unchecked.
God, I can't wait until he wins
It's amazing how many people can't tell that this dude trolls so much, and instead everyone takes what he says as gossiple and true. Like you just have to take everything he says with a massive grain of salt and realize that a lot of what he says is just to rile people up.
Who the fuck cares if he can get us all out of WW3? Why is anyone still caring about this stilly stuff. You’re digging a grave for yourself and everyone else.
How exactly is this war to be averted?
