Social media users mercilessly mocked President Donald Trump over the weekend after a Fox News interview in which he referred to Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba as “Mr. Japan.”

“But I’d rather just send them a letter, a very fair letter, saying, congratulations, whether it will allow you to trade in the United States of America,” Trump told Bartiromo, per RawStory. “You’re going to pay a 25% tariff, or 20% or 40% or 50%. I would rather do that.”
He doesn’t understand tariffs, which we already knew, but he keeps proving it. His supporters are dumbass idiots.
Notice how nobody’s taking about how it’s Americans paying the tarrif though, not Japan?
He is the embodiment of the fat stupid American stereotype. I truly feel sorry for the decent, intelligent people that live in the USA.
I’m offended! I am not “decent” at all!
Thank you.
Modern News: “Let’s talk about Biden’s dementia.”
I mean…Biden does likely have dementia, and it is kind of scary that for a couple years there we had a president who may not have known where he was at times.
That being said, we traded in the guy with a good heart and dementia, for a racist hateful asshole with dementia.
And of the two, it’s FAR scarrier that the current dementia president has authorization for nukes.
Biden was never going to nuke. Trump might. And forget the next day that he did.
- Reagan was much more obviously affected by dementia
- Even if Biden is suffering he’s far more coherent than what we have now
Yeah the fact he was talking over Kristi noem of all people who even though she is rotted to the core knew for a moment you have to keep up appearances of actually playing nice just to expose just how absolutely racist he is and intending to hurt people says all you need to know of just how bent on evil he is dementia or not.
Like how wretched does one have to be to make her look like the more reasonable person in the room?
Based on… What? Biden has cancer. The convenient narrative that he was diagnosed after he left the White House holds about as much water as no one ever having died at a Disney theme park.
Cancer-fighting drugs do all sorts of whacky shit to bodies and minds. The conspiracy to keep the truth from the public was, I speculate, to avoid the inevitable pressure to have Biden step down and Harris assume the Presidency. Based on Biden’s comments I have little doubt this was a selfish decision based on hubris that was championed and enabled by the establishment et al. Not that Harris would’ve been the People’s President but at least she’d have been capable of actually leading.
I don’t disagree with you. Neither Biden nor Trump were / are fit for the roles they assumed. The dementia angle was weak Republican propaganda though and repeating it just keeps us further from the truth the public deserves.
kind of scary that for a couple years there we had a president who may not have known where he was
Is this a repeat comment from 1989?
It could be repeat from a couple of other decades as well.
It’s almost like we should stop electing old fucks who don’t understand the modern world and have mashed potatoes for neurons into the most powerful position in the world or something.
We had Reagan before him. Dementia is swiftly becoming a part of the Presidency.
Bush Jr was a st a natural dummy. No dementia required.
much easier to control a president who is barely coherent
Nah, he’d hit up a mcdonalds, tweet about it while shitting, THEN claim he has no recollection of the event - which may be true, but that is really not a good thing.
Then say he’ll clean it up in two weeks.
Don’t be afraid of Trump, or Putin for that matter, nuking anyone. They do not have a literal red-button. Launch authorization goes through a chain, and much like Soviet commanders refused to fire in the Cold War, so will our commanders.
Yea… no, that’s total wishful thinking. If Trump winning didn’t convince you that a HUGE portion of the US are brainless morons wholly beholden to propaganda, then a nuke going off near Iran/Palestine will just be a whoopsie-daisey to such an unobservant fool.
The biggest takeaway for me with all this … whenever there is another level of stupidity in American government or the president … is not how dumb he looks … but instead about how the entire country just passively accepts it. How the media just rolls over it like it’s normal now.
This country is fucked
If your “media” is owned by a large corporation or billionaire it’s not media but propaganda.
The media is explicitly complicit in the rise of authoritarianism. I’d highly recommend the book “manufacturing consent”, it should be required reading for all Americans at this point.
The privately controlled media that manipulated the image of this presidency, downplayed / ignored its failings, exaggerated the contempt for opponents and generally just passively accepted all this insanity as normal is not just complicit but an active participant in the rise and installation of authoritarianism in the US.
It’s not an independent media any more … it’s a direct arm of corporate America … the same corporate America that wants to usher in authoritarianism
Right? The press would never have let Biden or Obama forget that gaffe.
Sir, Tim Apple on line 2
Once you’re done fucking with trump remember to keep going down the line. It doesn’t end with him.
Liberals will go immediately back to brunch. We’ve seen it already.
Hey, a man’s gotta eat.
What a dumb piece of shit
“Peanut butter TACO time”
You fucking leave Peanut Butter out of this!
it’s the only thing I have left
at least he didn’t call him “Mr. Roboto”. still embarrassing as fuck though.
He still talks about tariffs as if the company in the non U.S. country pays them.
Maybe before rolling out these tariffs, he should understand how the damned things actually work.
He knows and just doesn’t care. It’s about bullying other countries to make “better trade deals”.
Tbf, there’s a lot of world leaders. I couldn’t remember all of their names. Just say the fucking title. “Mr. Prime Minister”. That’s it. Not the country. Frankly, he should know the prime minister of Japan well enough to remember his name.
That would require knowing/remembering that Japan has a prime minister
I mean, most countries have a prime minister and/or a president in power. Even that’s a bit to remember. Just for the love of god, fucking google it before you might have to talk about it.
I wouldn’t bet money on Trump being capable of googling things, and he’s definitely incapable of admitting he doesn’t know something by asking about it.
All you LIbtRads have TDS because you KNOW Biden Biden BIDEN BIDEN has Dementia!
