Trump with AI imaging: like a chimp with a machine gun

And even if that idiotic fantasy came true, would it still be a fun ride with the cost of living skyrocketing, jobs being shed like leaves from a tree in the fall, the US without friends or allies, involvement in foreign wars, a Presidential Gestapo invading our cities, and a gigantic fiscal and trade deficit?

I think you're misinterpreting how people feel about Trump's most recent shit. A LOT of folks are feeling that their civil rights are endangered. That's more fundamental than consumer prices. (And relatively few people give a flying crap about the stock market, anyway.)

He's said and done so many unPresidential things, it's just par for the course at this point.  It's sad that there are so many people that think what he does is totally fine.  It just keeps making America and Americans look even worse on the world stage.  It's embarrassing. 

That's not how America is supposed to work. There are laws, rules, and standards that everyone, regardless of bank balance, is supposed to follow. What Trump did shits on the civil rights of all citizens, but especially Black people. Somebody should sue his fat ass. I believe that he could be prosecuted for criminal violations of civil rights as well, both the Obamas' and by extension, all other Black citizens' as well.

I'm simply appalled that Trump is getting yet another free pass on this. The timid murmuring from his party is already dying down. One thing he's correct about: he can get away with literally anything.

I'd love to get David's take on this one.

  OK Jerry, here is my take, which I already know will be disected and criticized. (1) I have viewed the video - in it's entirety. (2) I also saw the video of President Trump explaining - and condemning - the video when asked while on Air Force 1.(3) The complete video starts with talk about the machines used in the 2020 election, then morphs to an A.I. generated Lion King spoof that was recorded in October, 2025. (4) Apparently President Trump viewed most of the part about the 2020 election machine usage and did not watch the remainder which included the Lion King material. He gave his OK to show the video not knowing about the Lion King part. (5) That brings to the forefront the question - why would he post this video if he knew the total content? What possible reason would he - or anyone- post anything that could/would be described as "racist"? Everyone knows that anything that can be construed as being racist would be blown out of proportion and run with to discredit the President - which as we all have seen, has happened. (6) I suggest that, if interested, one take the time and view the complete video and then make up your own mind. This, Jerry, is my take.

Oh, he LUVVVED the video and came four times.while watching it over and over. Then he came again while watching Trump double down on it at his press conference. So manly!

The only difference between now and the pre-Civil Rights era is that it's now kind of gauche to come right out and say, "I hate niggers." But the hatred is otherwise the same now as it was then, and exists in the same proportion of the population. Trump grew up (if that's the right term) during the "Colored drinking fountain" era. That's where his values (if that's the right term) originate. And that's where David's Tay-ucks-ass bigotry originates.

As I said, I'm amazed at the almost total lack of outcry from the Trump cult. This is one occasion where they could safely criticize him. Hell, we would all like to see David post some mild, timid criticism of his orange master. But in over ten years of Trump ooze, he has NEVER breathed one syllable of criticism of the asshole he loves.

If we get anything from David, it'll be deflection. Same with Tom. They'll both post some "what about this or that, HUH???" inanity. Anything rather than admit that the orange jerkwad whose balls they lovingly lick is a horrible racist bigot.

I was right! David is making excuses.

He claims that the Turd didn't know about the Obamas caricature. But Trump held a press conference and claimed that the video wasn't a mistake, that he approved of and heartily endorsed it.

If he wanted to repudiate it, he could have done so right then, claiming that it was posted without his knowledge and approval. He could and should have apologized for it. That would have been the decent thing to do. But he didn't.

And since David obviously enjoyed and approves of the video and Trump's doubling down on it, he and the Turd are racist, bigoted soulmates.

Or do you disapprove of the video, David, and do you think Trump should apologize for it?

Trump is President, so he's responsible for everything the White House does. He appointed half a dozen meme creators to post this exact type of shit. Whose fault is it when one of them crosses a line? David's trying to be an apologist for the Turd, which is beyond disgusting.
