This is one of those really rare moments where you get to say “you’re right, Alex Jones.”
Every day the gymnastics needed for a Trump supporter gets more and more convoluted. First, he was speaking up in favor of H1B workers (so much for support of American workers), then his "no new wars" turned into broad support of Israel and military actions taken, now his "drain the swamp" has turned into "it's not permitted to even talk about Epstein".
More proof that he is a shameless huckster with no honor in him at all. Sadly, much of his base is quite used to making excuses on his behalf and I'd imagine they can keep this up for quite a while. What a scumbag. I won't be upset when he leaves the White House, whether that's due to health problems, impeachment or running out the clock.
Trump's a paedo himself, ofc hes's gonna get all defensive over this
Hit em with the ole slammy whammy eh?
Can we stop using this word? It's not the WWE were talking about and it's lost all meaning
I am literally in the wrestling business and I hear that term less there then I do reading headlines.
Well, he IS in the WWE hall of fame.
How is a man baby in charge of the free world?
He isn't. He's in charge of the United States of America.
Because the Americans are all idiots.
not all of us
The gaslighting by Trump is absolutely insane, and what's worse is the republicans who are supposed to be grown men copy catting his childish behaviour.
No, because HitlerPig is a text book psychopath who has no feelings or emotions other than greed and hate, and he teamed up with the two richest foreign Sociopathic Oligarchs to RIG the election. All of the have no loyalty or patriotism toward America, and only see it as a fat, lazy target, to be ruthlessly exploited.
The election was rigged, and we all know it. HitlerPig and The Goblin have all but admitted it in numerous statements.
I just watched this scene like 2 days ago. Parker flips out and fires all his loyal henchmen because Clown asks him a question, and he's an utter and insane moron. It's a pretty cliche trope. But in that one, Riri beats beats the shit out of him with a mech suit.
Praying for someone to beat the shit out of Trump with a mech suit
There is no war in Ba Sing Se, you hear me? THERE IS NO WAR IN BA SING SE
Don't look up. The king has warned (once again) that if you do, you're a damn fool.
The more he reacts, the guiltier he looks. What a morone.
Urrrp!
Wait, wasn't your whole political philosophy built around ignorance and spineless loyalty? If you train them to fall for scams and conspiracies don't get shocked when they go for another conspiracy that you don't like.
...because I don’t want their support anymore!
Damn, he's gone "full Hitler in the bunker". "Those damn traitors! They failed me!"
That is so dead on. I really want to see what those meetings are like
his last campaign was built on releasing the epstein files. everything else was secondary to the voters.
he’s gone “full Hitler in the bunker”
There's just one more important step for that to be true ... and I don't mean poisoning his dog.
Fucking his niece? Cause he's already doing amphetamines.

So when do we get to the cult leader showing weakness and losing control of his enraged mob who tear him apart part?
They should Gaddafi Trump
I was thinking batman: the cult. But I get where you're headed.
The one thing that is in the back of my mind is what is Trump going to do next in order to attempt to cover up this Epstein list situation? Will he declare war on a foreign country? Will he declare war on the people of the United States who stand against him?
When the last republican president had an approval rating as shitty as trump's, he lucked into the worst terrorist attack in US history.
It will absolutely be against US citizens because MAGA cares far more about not having foreign wars, than having gestapo disappear US citizens.
I hate that maga is perfectly fine with wars inside the country

That’s generally what cult leaders do, they don’t bend to their followers, they beat them down as weak and fake believers until they fall back in line. And the ones who do get out immediately become the enemy and the devil in one.
This is Jim Jones/David Koresh type shit
He needs to get the MAGA true believers to rat on any fake MAGA who changed their opinion so ice can deport them as a priority to Alligator Alcatraz for bullets and swamp burials

I'm guessing this is why they are working on rigging the elections. So he'll be insulated even from people that peel off due to his pedophile platform.
exactly. he doesn't need them anymore.
He does need them, though he may not think so. Support isn't just for voting. His narcissism needs people to like him, and his entire personality can collapse without it (possibly to suicidal levels). They support him in more tangible ways, as well, such as counter protest actions.
Just in general, fascism needs to maintain the illusion of widespread, inevitable "populist" support. That's one reason why big public protests are important even if they don't have tangible results right away.
John Steward actually wrote a poem to conservatives about this situation, it goes like this:
How, Does, My, Ass, Taste, Now ?
Man, it would be incredible if Epstein and Trump's inability to shut up about it is what brings this regime down.

This is interesting... In the past when Trump has tried to push back on his followers he's followed the TACO principle. Like when he wanted to take credit for the COVID vaccines but his audience was anti-vax he quickly softened his language to "take it... if you want it tho. Maybe it's poison who knows?"
He's never been a leader - he's just been an amalgamation of all of the racism and conspiracy theories his followers have. He says "yes" or "maybe" to everything. I think this is the first time he's really said "no" though?
