Onlookers fear ....

I like that kind of fine British understatement. It is like the BBC diffuses that MS Titanic appears to have had a minor collision with something floating on the surface and there might even exist risk that she cannot reach her destination harbour on time.

Uh, anyone with a modicum of sense has known this for YEARS. Please try to keep up.

Yeah, we put a flag there and everything. Come on people!

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 3 points 12 hours ago

Fittingly the flag has been bleached white by now. So it'll still be useful.

Did you read the description under the pic? I get the feeling Raw Story really doesn't appreciate him, lol. Look at the date.

U.S. President Donald Trump gestures as he makes an impression of a transgender weightlifter during his address to House Republicans at their annual issues conference retreat at the Kennedy Center, renamed the Trump-Kennedy Center by the Trump-appointed board of directors, in Washington, D.C., U.S., January 6, 2026.

Don't you mean "Orbital America" 😜

Way to clue in

New Jerseys is now New America. Moon is now Moonmerica. This really is representative of why the rest of us mock america for being so fucking stupid.

He's elderly, ill, and has dementia, on top of the fact that he may very well be the dumbest human to walk the earth in several millennia, this is not news to anyone.

[–] LittleBorat3@lemmy.world 3 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

He may easily be the dumbest US president in US history

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 2 points 11 hours ago

It's him or Herbert Hoover, but at least Hoover probably understood that magnets are waterproof.

[–] FatVegan@leminal.space 26 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

That's what's blowimg my mind. Yeah he's old, demented, has always been surrounded by dumb yes men. But even putting that aside, he's just as dumb as a sack of rocks. Always has been.

[–] metermatic26@lemmy.world 19 points 17 hours ago (5 children)

Its said he used to be quite charming and manipulative, so its not really stupidity. I think he may have a personality disorder. His choices often aren’t contemplated, but rash and emotional.

There’s also a pattern to his actions. Absolutely none of his decisions seem to be governed by empathy, morality, ideology, strategic national interests or even long term personal interests. Instead, nearly all his actions seem impulsive and emotional, aimed at satisfying his short term personal need for gratification, admiration or payback.

His frequent tantrums, his impulsive decision making, his inability to maintain composure, his inability to maintain professional relationships, together they all point to some sort of mental illness.

I think he may have a personality disorder.

You think so, huh? What tipped you off?

[–] p03locke@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 13 hours ago

I think he may have a personality disorder.

may have? My brother in christ, everybody already knows he has a pretty strong case of narcissistic personality disorder.

Don't you mean "Moon America"?

Man, how disrespectful of you. Use its real name.

[–] BigBrownBeaver@lemmy.world 5 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

Sorry, that name is already taken.

Try Moon America1
