The best part was when he talked about all of the criminals coming here from Africa… to the criminal from South Africa

That’s OK, there is an implied “only the black criminals” on the end of that sentence for both of them.

No shock that a Trump interview with an African-American would be a catastrophe.

You just know how he feels about - [ looks around ] - immigrants!

people forget musk was an “illegal” himself, having overstayed a visa (allegedly). I do wonder if he lied on any of his immigration paperwork because citizenship can be rescinded on the grounds of fraud. This would force twitter to be registered as a foreign owned corporation and likely would be forced to sell under the tiktok law and he’d lose the military contracts.

“Trump is slurring in a way I’ve never heard from him before,” remarked podcaster Susan Simpson. “Elon sounds like this is maybe the third or fourth time he’s had a conversation with a fellow human.”

Oh, wow… that’s how you kill two birds with one cleverly-worded sentence.

Brava 👏

Funnier if they meant it as a burn for Elon having a picture where he looks like the “videogame prodigy” from Grandma’s Boy.

Don’t worry, when reporters asked his campaign about a very easily provable fact on a live-broadcast and widely recorded event, they said this:

In an emailed response to an inquiry about the lisp from a Huffington Post reporter, the Trump campaign said, “Must be your s****y hearing. Get your ears checked.”

They are absolutely losing their minds right now. Love to see it. (Thanks, Biden.) And no doubt getting screamed 24/7 at by Donnie. While he fails to do anything they advise him to. Also: “Iran hacked us!” Sure, lol.

Even worse is that we are all surrounded by so many assholes that adore donnie like no one else. And many of them have wet dreams about killing/imprisoning/expelling most of the “vermin” (i.e., all the normal Americans).

Technically he died of pneumonia but he did have Alzheimers. It was on full display for years. But you rarely die of it. It just makes you much more likely to die from something else.

He’s also had a sudden drop in campaign appearances this last week. Like he only made a single campaign stop in Montana at a time when he really needs to be out everywhere

I genuinely think there’s a good chance he did

I don’t know if its true but they said he had to reroute away from his intended destination due to non payment of some bill at the airport he was going to would have resulted in the plane being impounded to settle the debt. I can already see trump is a crook. I don’t need this confirmed for that assessment.

A day full of lying constantly can test the endurance of even the Extra Strengthiest of modern denture cremes and gels.

Dudes 78. I’m not gonna ride his ass for having dentures. But, cmon— at least do a refresh of the tooth glue before an interview like this. That’s just common sense… but, then again, look who we’re talking about here…
