    how Trump gets a pass

    Biden looks frail, moves slowly, speaks slowly, and it seems like his brainpan is filled with porridge.

    Trump is an old, fat guy who is in just as bad shape. But he's a reality tv star who knows how to perform plus he doesn't suffer from Biden's insufferable sloooooooooooowness. After Trump left the hospital due to covid - he took a helicopter to the White House. He did something that to me seemed insane and I'm sure no other politician would do. He had cameras right there near the entrance before he went inside. He wanted close-up footage showing he was back and everything was fine.

    To me he looked like death warmed over - he was clearly struggling to breathe and I actually wondered if he was damaging his health with this stunt. Who knows - maybe he did. But Trump understands his base better than anybody. And much better than I do. They didn't see what I saw which is what I think what any sane, honest person saw - an old, fat guy in terrible shape who is in obvious physical distress. They saw their hero returning to the White House after a minor health problem that's not even worth mentioning by name. Lib media was afraid to mention the obvious because they were afraid of seeming partisan.

    After January 6th - lib media became even more obsessed with - in their mind - Trump's inevitable downfall. Mueller and the impeachment didn't work but and this(!) will surely take Trump down! Decent republicans will surely be against a coup! Of course - the GOP was critical of Trump and January 6th for a few weeks but then they did what they always do - suck up to him. He's their cult leader after all. And if you go against the leader of a cult - he'll spare no effort in destroying you and ejecting you from the group. Bow down to Trump and bend the knee.

    Since 2021 - lib media has been reporting day after week after month convincing itself that Trump's downfall is just around the bend. It has to happen! 91 criminal counts! So they oddly ignore all the crazy shit Trump says all the time. They are so focused on getting justice they keep forgetting to simply quote Trump and let him hang himself by his own petard. Instead hour after hour they breathlessly cover his trials because they understand if Trump wins in 2024 - they'll never get justice. But they refuse to accept they will get justice! American exceptionalism is a hell of a drug.

    Meanwhile - Fani Willis might have fucked up her own case by creating a sex scandal by having a relationship with one of her underlings. If she wins the Georgia case - Trump can't pardon himself for it. But her case might die on its own. Also - even if she wins years from now - as president or not - Trump might simply ignore the result. What is the State of Georgia going to do - get into a literal firefight with the Secret Service?

      Full disclosure didn't read all of that but Trump absolutely regularly looks slow and frail.

      After hengot out of the hospital he tried to g8ve a speech to look tough but was wheezing so bad he barely got through it and then looked like he barely managed to walk away unsupported.

      He regularly takes three attempts to say a word and then tries to play it off by acting like he just invented the word.

      Not to defend Biden but suggesting Trump looks healthy and active is one of the most insane takes I've read in a while.

          I got to the part where you said Trump sounded sharp and was quick and looked healthy when he left the hospital and stopped wasting my time.

            You're in the wrong, bruh. Go read their comment, you've completely missed their point.

            Super not what was said. I literally went back to double check that I hadn’t missed something. In your response you agreed with the comment while acting like you were debunking it. Just don’t respond if you’re not gonna read.

              Sorry I'll try to be a better communist by being impressed by the rhetorical skills a syphlitic game show host that's been a stereotype of "dumb guy" for 40 years.

                    The thing that people are trying to tell you here is that you misread (or failed to read) the comment and badly misinterpreted it.

                    It’s ok to just take an L here and laugh about it. I am a chronic L-taker and am not dead yet

                      Fair I was gonna let it lie but seeing somebody use the quote about how you have a responsibility to fully read every comment on an obscure leftist shitposting site if you want to have the right to speak was a little to self righteous for me to not say something.

                      That and I've read the comment and still think people tend to overblown his charisma or instinct. He's just an unreoentant dumb asshole which causes other dumb asshole to agree with anything he says. He gets way to much credit for being some kind of chid whisperer when in reality he barely hides his contempt for them.

                        I stopped reading after the first five words but I'm just going to assume the rest of your comment was admitting to sucking donkey dicks and drinking your own piss. I just have to say.. what the fuck man?

                        Hey, maybe that’s the secret: just utter blatant disdain with the thinnest possible layer of lip service on top. If someone respects you, how lickable can their boots possibly be?
