It’s funny how whenever Trump goes on one of these tangents it’s always reminiscing about some woefully outdated way of handling whatever he’s complaining about, just like the old man he is struggling with understanding the modern world, too bad his voters are every bit as lost in modern life.

That’s the difference between someone like him and Biden.

Biden is old as fuck and has some old fuck ideas, but he also realizes he’s an old fuck and his old as fuck ideas are outdated, so he relies on experts and not quite as old fucks to advise him.

Someone like Trump (and pretty much everyone on the right these days) will only take advise from anyone that simply re-enforces his own old fuck ideas.

As much as I would like a younger president, I would much rather have a body there of any almost age that listens to the advice of experts. Someone who surrounds themselves with the best minds and makes decisions based on their expertise is better than any one person. I still would prefer a younger person that did that though.

He sounds like a bad stand up comedian.

Which is funny too considering how many of Trump’s friends were stand-ups or in comedy in general, like how Trump was a good friend to Howard Stern, whom is mostly friends with comedy or music legends, Howard even talks about Trump being one of the last people to leave Howard and Beth’s wedding. Although now Stern thinks Trump is a huge un-american piece of shit after Trump’s election and presidency.

So Trump has been around enough comedians to know a thing or two about stand-up, but his material just isn’t good at all.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
