Given that IMO Biden has no mental state Trump would have a better mental state as he is not a sock puppet like Biden.

We should have a thread on Biden, so wouldn’t have to engage in whataboutary.

I worry more about the mental state about the tens of millions of Americans who want to vote for a guy with such a huge mental problem.

What do they expect? Thoughtful and measured actions? Or crazy ideas and shooting from the hip?

It's amazing what so many people want as their commander in chief who can press that red button.

 

That doesn't mean that I think the other guy is perfect. He is far away from perfect. But still a lot better than the nutter. 

 

 

Out of Trump and Biden, who is the one sending two aircraft carriers to stir up a middle east war? Who is the one sending big bombs to kill children with?

Of course that doesn't apply to the idiots that think Biden is actually capable of another 4 years, does it?

Seems someone on here has the attitude that he is more intelligent than other people on here.

What trumpers fail to realize is that many Biden supporters are most interested in the continuation of US democracy and rule of law. Whether Biden survives 4 more years is secondary to US democracy surviving 4 more years. Under Biden, that will happen. Under trump, it is the end of the 250 year US experiment in democracy.

 

Biden supporters take trump at his word. We believe he intends to destroy the system we have served, and that because he is a self-serving, childish, vindictive, dictator-wannabe scumball criminal.

 

One of the fascinating aspects of trumpism is that he has drawn losers from around the world to his siren song of retribution and false promises. Oddly, those non-Americans spend infinitely more mental energy focusing on trump than trying to do anything in their own country.

 

THAT^ is when one knows trumpism is a cult.

Biden is POTUS, this is why he does what America does.

The USA supports Israel unconditionally since decades. All American presidents did that, from both political parties.

 

I understand that many criticize Biden for the unconditional weapon deliveries to Israel. But we all should not make the mistake to think the other party and the other guy who wants to be elected, would not do the same.

Remember, Trump was the one who moved the US embassy to Jerusalem in 2018, all other presidents before him recognized that that was/is a bad idea. 

 

When there are two candidates and one of them does A that doesn't mean the other guy would not do A and instead would do B. Maybe the other guy does A+.

A million times better than Joe Bidens.

 

That's not true. I agree Biden is too old for this job but he does have a quite good track record.

 

My personal beef re Biden aiming to get re-elected is with the dem party, they know he's old and makes errors etc., but they have done nothing to find / decide an alternative candidate.

 

And it seems to me there are credible alternatives in the dem party.

To paraphrase Kipling, it's the sane man's burden.

 

Sometimes it takes 'tough love' to get through the vapors surrounding trumpsters....point out the reality about which they have no knowledge nor association. All those folks who were losers, weren't the cool kids in school, weren't at the top of their class, nor the football hero, couldn't get a date to the prom----they try to live vicariously through trump. trump, a loser himself with his 6 bankruptcies and dozens of failed and shuttered stat-ups, a guy who inherited half a billion dollars from his dad and had dad co-sign all his loans, understands them, and---despite the fact he thinks they're losers and wants nothing to do with them but get their votes---tells them what they want to hear. Rather than work to improve themselves so that they can take advantage of the Booming Biden Economy, trump gives them excuses. EVERYTHING is somebody else' fault. trumpers never have to face themselves and accept responsibility for their own failure, because trump gives them an out. trump exploits their weakness.

 

"I am your retribution" appeals to trumpers, because it FINALLY gets back at all the cool kids from their youth. trumpers want a dictator. They hate democracy and they hate Capitalism, because that forces them to compete with everybody, and trumpers know they come up short, plus they refuse to accept personal responsibility and do anything about it. Like trump himself, his goobers demand to win when they lose.

It is truly amazing the amount of support this man enjoys among members of the American electorate.

 

But cognitive skills are not a requirement for citizenship..

 

You just have to look at them at their Trump rallies.. it's obvious that they are not America's finest.

 

And his supporters here on AN?  Laughable in their incoherence..

Actually not.  Whenever he tries jokes he punches down or repeats a right wing trope.

How many times did  he skip the White House correspondents dinner knowing he would bomb?

Even with a team of  writers he could not get laughs like  George W Bush  or Obama.

Apparently you didn't see the State of the Union Address or your maga blocker shielded you from the reality. 

 

I did. Drugged:

 

Psychiatrist sees signs Biden was medicated for State of the Union performance

 

Hence Trump suggested drug tests before the presidential debate, in the unlikely event Biden's handlers allow him to show up. Even so, slurred, divisive, demonizing, threatening SCOTUS (fatuously), pandering, lying, blaming, angry. Off teleprompter, screwed up royally. No new, unifying, optimistic vision, just usual Dim talking points for retards. The reality of his policies seems to be sinking in, hence the low approval numbers.

 

Fail, except, as a campaign speech, proof-of-life for his base.

 

As for blocking, you couldn't have seen Trump's gracious victory speech after winning Iowa, 'cause the fake news media wouldn't let you. 🙂

Well back before he ever actually dreamed of winning the 2016 grift Trump endured one of those vulgar celebrity roasts

"Donald, are you enjoying yourself?" "Tell your face"

 

Trump as lad probably suffered some severe unaddressed trauma. Obviously also a has a learning disability which is nothing to be ashamed of but masked by the years of privilege.   A deep inferiority complex gave birth to the toxic narcissism.

I think he is actually a tragic figure and  doubt he has ever experienced any real joy in life.

Hes made more money and accomplished more than all of the folks speculating on his mental state, including folks here.

 

Guess that says enough.

His first 14 million were given to him by his dad. It doesn't take a very smart man to make more money when he can invest in things other people told him were good. Buying up land and property is about the best way to make money, especially if you have money to burn,and 14 million plus is money to burn, especially seeing most land and property investments pay off, some significantly. Making money doesn't make you less disturbed, only a rich narcissist.

 

I said to others, and some in my family, before he was voted in, that this would be a mistake, voting for a successful businessman doesn't mean president material. I told my family, half of which voted for and half against him, that this was a classic narcissist, with a limited vocabulary, a misogynist and maybe a racist to boot. It looks to me that he made a few bad decisions during Covid that cost many lives. The most powerful man in the world (before) is a very disturbed individual that is very easy to spot, and it amazes me that some of my family and friends, who are all very intelligent people, voted for him and still think he's worthy of another session at the top.

 

Out of all the people in America, why can't they find one more qualified, with a good past history in politics? Biden, picking up the pieces, hasn't done too bad, but what can you expect when he has to fix mistakes made before him, and decide on other issues at the same time?

When he was a celebrity and the roasts were merely due attention and confirmation, good fun, not mere political hatred, you see. Very different. You're gettin' desperate now, pal.

Have to agree. Biden is certainly getting results - a shame for him that most are bad, unwanted or unintended.

No, celebrities often lose fortunes listening to their advisors. Besides real estate, he engaged in a number of other profitable ventures.

But you were of course wrong, boring your family like that, as you are now. Exactly what the USA needs is a successful businessman to introduce some common sense, and esp. fiscal common sense, into the gov't. He was hardly perfect and hopefully has learned from previous experience, but still things were better under Trump. That's really the bottom line.

 

Too bad Ross Perot didn't make it back in the day.

I'm by no means a fan of Biden, but my goodness, that statement (if done by an actual human being) is simply absurd.

Biden is at least steadily working for the country. The economy is fine. Corporate greed is keeping prices higher than they should be, but that's not something any president can change. 

Meanwhile, the other guy is either playing golf, sitting in court, playing golf and cheating while doing it, or sending mean 'truths'.  Name a policy that Trump has proposed other than simply saying 'tax cuts' at his rallies. He has no policies other than revenge and self-preservation from the legal system, period!

 

He has proposed reversing most of biden's policies. That should keep him busy for 4 yearsand do the trick.

Odd comment.

 

Admittedly, to take advantage of the Booming Biden Economy, one needs a good education as well as skills and talents. That leaves out the vast majority of trumpers. The world has left them behind. Obviated them. They are redundant. They do themselves and their spawn no favor by reproducing, because they will pass on their lack of skills and talents to their kids. It's a vicious downward spiral of Darwinian Reality, and it will only be made worse by AI.

 

They grasp on to the lies and false promises of trump, because if they didn't have false hopes, they would have no hope at all. Sucks to be them.

 

For those with education, skills and talents, things are fantastic. 4th Quarter GDP was just adjusted up. The stock market continues to do well. The US economy is beating all other developed nations, and US inflation is also lower than most developed nations.

 

Thanks to the bipartisan Infrastructure Bill, all Americans will benefit from improved roads, bridges, airports, electric grid, communications, etc. It's so good that even Repubs who voted against the Bill are going to their home districts trying to take credit for the improvements they voted against.

 

And what does loser trump offer? "I am your retribution".

 

As for who is working for whom, I don't think Biden got the infrastructure deal done just for his family. Same with the Chips Act, which is resulting in the construction of the first new chip plants in the US in decades. trump's goobers, if they are working at all, and not just parasiting off the Taxpayer with their SSDI and SNAP, are working for trump, sending money to his PAC so he can skim it to pay his legal bills.

 

Odd comment as Biden spends trillions of $ that don't exist to push the USA into a world of eternal debt - but who's shocked?

[spidermike007]

He is likely quite insane, definitely semi senile, and dangerously narcissistic. The real issue with Donald Trump is that he's a terrible negotiator, he cannot negotiate his way out of a paper bag and that makes him a huge risk as a leader. 

 

He also seems to have the emotional development of a 13 to 14 year old boy, that is quite an issue too for a world leader.

I used to ask them this, Republicans. Why they could not stand behind such a candidate. One who could lead more effectively to push GOPs trad conservative platforms without the long history of fraud, crimes, scandals and constant flood of blatant lies.

 

It has to do only with this vile mans complete hypnosis of the MAGA base. A base whose entire ideology is based on tropes and myths and the so-called culture war.  Then the winner takes all electoral college what comes down to sometimes a few thousand votes in 6 or 7 swing states.  Remember how he was absolutely vilified by nearly the entire slate of GOP stalwarts in 2016? Then the establishment GOP all rallied behind him.  A short outraged bleating of outrage from McConnell after the insurrection then all forgotten.

 

This is pure power politics where the ends justify the means. I do not think he can lose again in November.
