This level of projection usually requires lasers and a special backdrop screen.

He concluded with, "Worthless orange lumps can't even score with their own gorgeous daughters!"

So much projection it's a damn Pink Floyd show. Complete with pig.

I just came here to say 'Fuck Donald Drumpf'

Weird how right-wing radio isn't freaking out about how Trump 'hates America' when he makes comments like this.

[–] CoWizard@kbin.social 8 points 2 years ago

That goes against the key tenant of being right-wing: introspection

[–] e_t_@kbin.pithyphrase.net 11 points 2 years ago

That's his campaign promise.

The only time Trump says something correct - and even then, he probably has the wrong idea on who those “thugs” and “perverts” are, because it’s sure as hell not just the Democratic Party.

[–] btaf45@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

He is the pervert and the thug.

Why would I vote for someone that thinks my country is a hellhole? He thinks our (and his) country is so bad that the country goes to shit with less than one presidential term following his own? That sounds to me like either he’s the one who did a shit job before or everything he says is bullshit - likely both.

[–] AngrilyEatingMuffins@kbin.social 13 points 2 years ago

I mean… America is a hellhole, just not the way Trump thinks.

[–] SuperSpaceFan@geddit.social 8 points 2 years ago

Maybe he can just move somewhere else.

[–] foo@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 years ago

Projecting much?

[–] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Hmmm, I wonder what they will do with their 'love it or leave it' mentality?

[–] xc2215x@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They will excuse it because he said it.

[–] DarkGamer@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

If Republicans didn't have double standards they wouldn't have any standards at all.

"Ran by perverts and thugs"

Someone tell this stupid asshole that he didn't win in 2020.

[–] Cylusthevirus@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago

If he hates it so much he's welcome to leave. I hear Russia is taking rich new citizens.

[–] diskmaster23@lemmy.one 4 points 2 years ago

Look, Trump didn't do anything to improve things for the working person. I ain't about to give him four more years to come up with stuff in which I could have come up with on my own.

[–] xc2215x@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I remember when even being mildly critical of America was seen as anti American. How the narrative changes.

[–] lowdownfool@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

It's critical of those people.

[–] btaf45@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Convicted Sex Offender Treason Trump is a pervert and a thug. It is pure projection.

[–] Infinity187@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

Fuck him. I'm living just fine.

“The election will decide whether your generation will inherit a fascist country or a free country, “ Mr Trump told the right-wing activist conference.

He threatened to “reclaim colleges” and “choke off the money” to universities that he claims are leading a “Marxist assault” on “Western civilization itself.” He also pledged to revive an even wider ban on people from majority Muslim countries from entering the US, along with mass deportations of people living in the country and ending birthright citizenship for the children of people who are in the US without legal permission.

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 years ago

He's right about the fascism thing, but for the wrong reasons.

[–] oDDmON@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Takes one to know one.

[–] Grass@geddit.social 1 points 2 years ago

As if it wasn't the case while he was president along with many before him...

[–] UpperBroccoli@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago

So he really still thinks he's running this country, huh?

[–] HarkMahlberg@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

He's about 3 years late but hey, better late than never.
