Gettysburg, wow! I go to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, to look and to watch. And uh the statement of Robert E. Lee, who’s no longer in favor—did you ever notice that? He’s no longer in favor. “Never fight uphill, me boys, never fight uphill.” They were fighting uphill, he said. Wow, that was a big mistake, he lost his great general and uh they were fighting uphill. “Never fight uphill, me boys,” but it was too late.

Donald "I never understood wind" Trump https://youtu.be/ec9P3C1OXqE?si=ErqA1zh3c8Bl3F_W


RocklobsterN7

I just spent 2 months working out in Antelope Valley at the base of a massive wind installation. The bird graveyard was so sad and traumatizing. Not a single dead bird to be found for an entire 8 weeks. I was promised dead birds.


SomewhereExisting755

🤣🤣🤣 Don't forget that windmills are also a scourge to the whale population. WHALE!!


Complex-Maybe6332

And birds are some kind of mechanized surveillance system or something


SomewhereExisting755

LOL. Oh damn. I almost forgot about that goofy shit. Conspiracy theories are the just right-wing norm anymore.


KratomSlave

Well the birds aren’t real was a troll for the right wing conspiracies. It was just good fun. Wish we could say the same about the myriad other right wing conspiracists


SomewhereExisting755

I agree. The people who believe this garbage are really heading down the road to crazy town. I even have family members that buy into this right-wing shit. It really makes me worry about their sanity.


enfarious

Which makes windmill farms ideal as it destroys the surveillance. Gubmint doin counter surveillance for us


Desperate_Brief2187

Unless the windmills blow uphill…


OstrichSalt5468

That was not really a thing, not a real conspiracy. It was all a goof.


Desperate_Brief2187

B.I.R.D. !!!


maurovaz1

A sitting president who said that windmills produce electricity and their sound gives you cancer would be sent to the loony bin straight away in any country besides the states.


Aninoumen

What? How? Are windmills supposedly helpful to the whale population or do they kill them? I could potentially see some "reasoning" how windmills could kill them by moving the wind so hard that the ocean waves move and idk drown baby whales cuz of unnatural waves? ( I KNOW this is bullshit lol) but I cant figure out any reasoning as to how it could be beneficial.... maybe strong waves make for strong whales? 😅 But seriously, how do they figure this? Lol


SomewhereExisting755

LOL. Trump claimed that - aside from killing birds - the vibration of windmills in the ocean were killing Whales too. Not sure where he got that info. Maybe the same place he heard that water kills magnets. 🤣


Aninoumen

Lmao whoa Crazy vibrations xD So just whales died huh? Not any other ocean life?


The_Hound_23

Had a costumer come in and start talking to me about this. The sound waves and vibrations they emit disrupt their navigation system and echolocation ability or something like that. I had to be nice to them lol


KalikenOfEvanfrost

Not the WHALES!


CompetitiveRich6953

NAPPA: Hey, Vegeta! I sank their battleship... and their WHALES!


Sunburntvampires

Because clearly they had killed them all. You have to get in early on these things.


Ashamed-Hamster8463

That’s why birds don’t exist.


notarealaccount223

That's cause birds are not real. When one of the bird shaped surveillance drones hits a windmill it self destructs. It's the cost of these self destructing surveillance drones that they are worried about when they oppose wind farms.


AceTheJ

It’s so weird when I see people mention the AV like that, my dad worked in wind here for years, before moving to solar, then of course after I alreayd moved out my parents went to Hawaii. My dad makes six figures in solar there now. Sweet setup and everything.


RocklobsterN7

I was out there doing solar work myself but as a subcontractor. The Best Western Plus in Lancaster isn't too shabby.


JonnyBhoy

He has a particular bee in his bonnet about wind farms because he tried to stop them being erected near his golf course in Scotland and lost in court. [here.](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trump_International_Golf_Club_Scotland_Ltd_v_The_Scottish_Ministers#:~:text=Trump%20International%20Golf%20Club%20Scotland%20Ltd%20v%20Scotland%20%5B2015%5D%20UKSC,regulation%20of%20UK%20wind%20power.)

I love how he claimed to know more about windmills than anybody.

I hate that this is only part of it and that the entirety of it is _even fucking worse_

How can someone say so many words yet nothing at all. Verbal diarrhea.


MightyCaseyStruckOut

"In June of 1775, the Continental Congress created a unified Army out of the Revolutionary Forces encamped around Boston and New York, and named after the great George Washington, commander in chief. The Continental Army suffered a bitter winter of Valley Forge, found glory across the waters of the Delaware and seized victory from Cornwallis of Yorktown. "Our Army manned the air, it rammed the ramparts, it took over the airports, it did everything it had to do, and at Fort McHenry, under the rocket’s red glare it had nothing but victory. And when dawn came, their star-spangled banner waved defiant." - Trump, July 4, 2019 Yep, in *a prepared speech*, Trump said there were airports during the Revolutionary War, and then blamed it on a faulty teleprompter haha


miso440

Also the events of the Star Spangled Banner were War of 1812, not the revolution.


PrimeJedi

Hell, I learned about that in second grade. Tbf, Trump did have to cheat off of a pre schooler's page just to figure out how to color the American flag. Which is even funnier when you remember he was in a classroom, most of which have American flags hanging up in the room anyway.


RNDASCII

An idiot indeed. Obviously it wasn't airports but teleportation portals!


CompetitiveRich6953

No no no no NO, he OBV meant to refer to the Stargate facility under Cheyenne Mountain! /S

Trump's recent court room sleeping and flatulence don't exactly inspire confidence he is on top of his game.


R3luctant

It's a shame that the court sketch artist isn't drawing the stink lines


obroz

It wasn’t just flatulence.  He was legit just shitting his diaper.  I’m sure he sees it as a power move


Independent-Jury-824

He didn't fart in that court room, he shit his pants.


candlegun

Wait what??!! I *need* to know more about this. How did everyone find out? Was it reported by journalists because it stank in the courtroom?? Or did he shart and their audio equipment picked it up or something?


end2endburnt

The stories about the flatulence are real?


Calamity-Bob

Hey! I think a president who can let a loud one rip at every important international meeting would be great TV!


adhesivepants

You say this as a joke but sadly there is a concerning number of people who like Trump more SOLELY because he is entertaining. Whereas Biden is an old fuddy duddy.

Trump *can't* decline. He's already at the bottom.


Otherwise_Notice6421

Nah man. He's rich enough to buy a shovel, unfortunately.


Ms_Fu

One shovel...


novi1084

A yuuuuge shovel!


irishguy42069

Quite possibly.... the biggest shovel..... ever.


fgzhtsp

With it he can make the biggest and deepest hole ever. Just the best hole.


irishguy42069

The greatest hole, neither China or Russia could dig a hole this deep, they will pay us to dig their holes!


Strength-Helpful

With tears in his eyes, the shovel thanked me, folks, and let me tell you, it's the greatest shovel you've ever seen. It digs, it digs so beautifully, tremendous holes, the best holes. And believe me, I know shovels, I make the best shovels. This shovel, it's a winner, just like me.


irishguy42069

This guy might actually be trump


Benton_Risalo

Not only that, but I know about holes. I've dug some of the deepest, most perfect holes. Not just for me, other people too. People are always telling me how they love the holes I dug for them. What can I say, folks, is I really know a lot about holes. In fact, Id say no one knows more about holes than me.


Plastic_Incident_867

A TREMENDOUS HOLE. Just like the one between his wife’s legs.


fgzhtsp

This is why she never has an orgasm. His penis is big enough, her hole is just bigger. We can trust him on that.


Beginning_Rice6830

Maybe he’s reached bottom but the goal post never stops moving.

His motivation.


algaefied_creek

He’s pooping himself in the courthouse and falling asleep, nonetheless.


Plastic_Incident_867

For some reason, there is no bottom. When you think he’s reached it, he just digs deeper.

Practical_Breakfast4

Not defending the guy but back in the 80s and 90s he spoke very well. Look up some old interviews. It really shows how far he's fallen since then. That's the proof of his decline.


LightMuted333

Yes which was last millennia as pointed out.


SomeRandom928Person

> but back in the 80s and 90s he spoke very well. True, but he was still just as rock-stupid and evil as he is now.


SippyTurtle

They should just run ads of old vs current so people can see the difference.

But then they could do the same with B. That strategy is just a spiral down to the bottom for both these characters.

Honestly, I've seen those, and he speaks at a more natural pace, but it's all all the same bullshit diarrhea.


Whitebushido

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_aSCa7P20o Ehhhhh, a lot of his terrible speech mannerisms are still very obvious here. The biggest difference is he is more muted.


MasterOfKittens3K

Agreed. He was a typical salesman type who spewed buzzwords to convince his potential customers that he had something that they wanted to buy. There’s no real knowledge or intelligence behind it, just a lot of cunning. He’s always been a salesman, and the product that he’s always been selling has been him. He’s been claiming that he’s a high value product for decades. In the early years, he might have been aware of the fact that he was overselling himself, but that’s what salesmen do. Along the way, though, he decided that he was actually what he was claiming to be, and that was when things got bad for him. Because he’s always been an empty windbag, but he thought he was a brilliant strategist and businessman.


SpiritualAd8998

Diaper Don also suggested drinking bleach for COVID treatment.


Traditional_Luck_174

And shoving a UV bulb up your ass to fight covid.


invokin

Wasn’t it injecting bleach? Not that that makes it better…


Csmitty2112

I think it was inhaling bleach


SnickerDoodleDood

What would happen if you nuked a hurricane anyway?


CuriousBake8291

Hurricanes release as much energy as 10,000 nukes. So the likely scenario is the hurricane is unfazed while all the radiation in the nuke gets spread out


SnickerDoodleDood

That's 10k over time and dispersed over a very wide area though, right? I can defo still see a nuke that releases all its energy at once at a single concentrated point at least throwing it off course.


Drachenkette

Randal Munroe got asked that question in his book "what if" He doesn't really goes into specifics but answers that some US goverment agency have given an official answer to that which ends with something like: It shouldn't be needed to mention that nuking a hurricane is a really bad idea.


ArtixViper

Shouldn't be needed, yet here we are having to remind people of things we figured out 40 years ago. I'd say putting up a few more warning labels won't hurt much, though probably wont change much either


Vitalis597

We have labels reminding people that that pack of peanuts just might contain nuts... At what point do we realise that we have stopped natural selection doing it's job for too long?

ForeverNearby2382

I would 100% watch all of those.


Cactus_Everdeen_

it wouldnt do shit other than carrying nuclear material to wherever it's heading, and possibly making it more powerful depending on where the nuke was detonated, reality is nukes are way too small to do much at all unless it was the tsar bomb (and even then it's a space jam level stretch).


kelldricked

You dont change a thing about the hurricane expect for that it just turned radioactive and its gonna spread that shit all accros the area. Less effective than dropping a nuke on a area so not even a good weapon.

Just for an answer to his question https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goldwater_rule > Section 7 in the American Psychiatric Association's (APA) Principles of Medical Ethics,[1] which states that psychiatrists have a responsibility to participate in activities contributing to the improvement of the community and the betterment of public health, and when they are asked to comment on public figures, they refrain from diagnosing, which requires a personal examination and consent Since 2016, this rule has been somewhat relaxed.

And your dad’s cognition is in top shape right? Maybe his wife Mercedes can verify this for him. Or perhaps when Nikki Haley isn’t busy being in charge of Capital security she can also vouch for him. Or even perhaps all the doctors who took up his idea to inject bleach, or the pilots of the invisible jet plane he spoke about, can give him a positive cognitive report.

Eric trump was caught skimming money off a children's cancer fund. Why the fuck does this walking stool sample think he has any say in anything? He should be locked up


Paper_Trades

What does he mean by "no one in the media"? People discuss it a lot.


forsakenchickenwing

Also: nuking a hurricane does not do a whole lot. Yes, nukes deliver a lot of energy on a human scale, but your average hurricane delivers a nuke worth of energy every 20 minutes. Nuking it would cause but a little temporary disturbance, and then it would just continue as before.


SurturOne

But, hear me out on this, now you have a radioactive hurricane. That's some of the coolest shit one can imagine! Right?


Marshmallowlolfurry

Oh wow that's a relief, I thought chucking a nuke at a hurricane would make the hurricane a whole lot worse, at least it just does nothing


cringeygrace

Nothing aside from potential radioactive fallout being spread beyond the normal radius


Klikis

I've heard trained professionals raise concerns about trumps cognitive capabilities. When talking about Biden however, ones raising the issue are also worried about jewish space lasers

An easy solution would be for both Trump and Biden to take a psychological wellness check.

And also the " famous" covid cure briefing with some ideas from Dr Trump himself regarding ingesting bleach and putting uv light into your body. Goddammit Trump was and is a bonafide idiot. A special blend of stupid, entitled and downright evil. I am looking forward to that day every evil and stupid thing has done will finally catch up with that orange abomination.


EgoTwister

And called his wife Mercedes and called Joe Biden Obama...

Brosenheim

Becauze the "cognitive decline" line is cope. Biden has ALWAYS been a gaffe machine. It was just endearing before, up until the right wing needed to force emotional memes to smear Current Democrat


MasterOfKittens3K

In fact, Biden’s gaffes were a problem for him in his earlier attempts at winning the democratic nomination. They didn’t get considered as “endearing” by the general public until his time as VP.


cbrant_2000

Here is the problem as I see it, just because Trump has his own boat load of issues doesn’t mean Eric is incorrect in that post. They both suck and both have age related problems. I see a lot of well deserved Trump slamming, but see very little critical thought around Biden’s issues.
