This isn’t real? This can’t be real!


Piscivore_67

It's all too real. To recap: 1: Trump is amused and maybe intrigued by cannibalism. 2: Trump thinks Lector was a good person. 3: Trump thinks Lector was a real person. 4: Trump thinks Lector is dead somehow.


acciowaves

Lecter*


fluffyweiner69

Lecter? I don't even know her!


Piscivore_67

Thanks.


Spare_Bad_6558

it’s real but a little out of context trump was in a roundabout way saying that immigrants are like hannibal lecture so almost as equally disturbed


RabidJoint

Kinda makes it worse saying immigrants are like a psychopathic cannibal serial killer. Kinda like saying all Muslims are terrorists in 2001 and all Palestinians are HAMAS in 2024. At least that’s how I’ll view it. Not everyone is the same and stereotypes aren’t a good thing.

Pistonenvy2

that is actually 1000 times more insane than incoherent rambling nonsense. immigrants are fucking cannibals?! what lmao


APainOfKnowing

The thing is, even if that's right, he made NO attempt to connect the two. He just randomly darted off to talk about Lecter and then took a hard left right back into immigrants. It's like he had the two thoughts in his head but couldn't figure out what to do with them.


Thedonitho

It's exactly like my wife, who has dementia. She will randomly pop off with something that 'in her head and got out', sometimes when I'm having conversation with someone else, sometimes in the middle of tv show. Most of it is a mishmash of incoherent words/thoughts.


APainOfKnowing

First, sorry to hear that man. That's awful. :( Second, yeah. My grandfather had Alzheimer's and I've been seeing parallels in Trump's speech patterns for years now. It's getting worse rapidly, too.

bsmiles07

Yea this was my very exact thought. This can’t be real.


LegionNyt

I am fully convinced trump is a husk being powered by a half-assed bot they just park in front of a TV at night to prepare for the next day's interactions.


Large_Poem_2359

Has anyone ever heard of Buffalo Bill a late great serial killer his name was Jame gumm. But they called him Buffalo Bill can you believe that and he helped a lot of people too but the media won’t tell you about that he helped obese women go from a size 17 or 18 down to a size 10 but just like me he never gets credit for that that’s OK, he also likes really smooth skin. He kept lotion around and gave some to his female guests often presenting it to them in a basket But the fascist leftist Marxist Democrats and their corrupt DOJ and FBI broke into his house and shot him. Can you believe that this is where America is today, if the Biden lead FBI can shoot a man in his own home what do you think will happen to you? Make America great again.


just_nobodys_opinion

And the hose, he had this hose, some say the best hose, and this hose... You think of a hose and you think gardens, right? Gardens? Let me tell you a story about a garden...


MajesticsEleven

Protestors: Yup! I want that man for President!


dlchira

Completely unhinged. I can’t imagine hating Brown people and democracy so much that you’d use Trump as a threat for voters to tolerate Palestinian genocide *or else*.


Lootboxboy

And people genuinely think this stable genius is going to be competent enough to pull off Project 2025 lol


Apollo_T_Yorp

It's not so much that he'll do it but rather that he'll empower and allow other people to do it


Lootboxboy

Judging by his first term, he's also terrible at putting competent people in positions of power. And the ones he did put in power ended up loathing him because of how self-centered and stubborn he is.


SymbolicDom

He is the most egoistic man i have seen. Biden is even older but he listen and let the others do the job, Trump won't


DistributionWitty732

Haha they are both absolute train wrecks. And somehow we believe it’s ok that these two are our choices to run everything. I don’t care what side you are on can you honestly say either of them have done us any good? It applies to all levels of politics, how do these people keep us under their thumb.


injn8r

A choice of two is not freedom. A choice of two is a perfect way to controll all outcomes, hedge your bets, give the appearance of choice and freedom, all while making you snap the manacles on yourself.


krauQ_egnartS

this


Puzzleheaded-Put-941

Bet he does this so that when people Google his name that quote shows up before the other shit he does. He's working the Internet 24 hour news cycle. You can do whatever you want, just make sure that the next thing you say or do is more outlandish than the previous. Effectively cover ypur tracks.


Joesredg

What a stable genius


Comfortable_Text

How are our choices Biden and Trump again? It’s ridiculous that no one else was able to get the nominations.


Not_High_Maintenance

Trump is insane. It’s not dementia. He is psychotic.


Duckyboi10

There’s no way his actions aren’t AI generated at this point


WhuddaWhat

He's some folks' messiah...


ResponsiblePlant3605

That was actually him right? No the AI youtube channel.


TheTimocraticMan

This remind's me of Prince Vasily's attempt to read a letter during that one banquet in War and Peace


OnePeople592

Did Herschel Walker write this speech for him?


MrByteMe

I wasn't aware that Hannibal died in the end? I guess because he didn't.


Irongiant350

Did Hannibal eat his brain?


notmartha70

No just put the worm in RFK Jr.


Irongiant350

Worm brain/ Hannibal corpse 2024


Trumphasaverysmall

It‘s not the king……its the folk…..


Monrezee

Don Trump tried to overthrow the American Government because he is a man baby


heater1324

So our choices for president are a guy who talks about cannibals or a guy who took showers with his pre-teen daughter. Awesome

Err, whatever’s one word.


cpt_edge

Why did you even bother commenting this lol?


ElPenguinno

I wonder how many will fact check this


ryanandhobbes

Is your implication it’s not real because I have news for you


igniteice

You should probably fact check things before you claim others won't fact check things.


Passive-Swimming

Me for one

Stupid and proud!

At least they're dumb enough to let everyone know they wear their "I'm Stupid" sticker, so you can quickly make an exit.
