Trump has said pollsters that have shown his approval ratings sliding in recent weeks should be investigated for "election fraud."

What a giant mango baby

    I have investigated. My conclusion is: Your low approval rating is because you are a toad.

    My consultancy rate is very reasonable at three million dollars per second. You owe me nine million dollars. Sign here, please.

    I don’t think Trump ever developed a theory of mind when he was a child.

    “Theory of Mind” is the developmental change where you realize that other people know things that you don’t know, and you know things that other people don’t know. It usually shows up before you turn five, kind of concurrent with a solid grasp on language. But I don’t think he ever got it.

    So he doesn’t understand how people could know words that he doesn’t know (“groceries”), he doesn’t understand how people could understand the importance of things he doesn’t understand the importance of (pretty much every government agency), he doesn’t see any reason for social supports (because, see, he doesn’t need them). And, paired with his obvious narcissism, since he loves himself, he is psychologically unable to conceive of the idea that other people could exist who don’t love him.

    Under this framework, he can never be wrong, because he literally knows all the things (the hurricane path map). He can never have done anything wrong, because he knows what’s best. And he can never have broken any promises, because he knew what would happen and made the choice on purpose.

    But he’s also been around for long enough to prove all of that untrue, so he’s had to carve out little exceptions for himself: specifically, that (1) everyone who doesn’t like him isn’t really a person, they’re actually evil and bad and nobody likes them (because he doesn’t); (2) everyone who knows something he doesn’t is either keeping secrets or a super-genius, depending on whether he likes that thing or not; and (3) when his actions have negative consequences that actually affect him, it’s because of one of those evil not-people plotting against him.

    So, anyway, when you call Trump a toddler, you’re actually giving him a few extra years of credit that he hasn’t earned.

    He’s going to run for a third term. That’s what this means. Buckle up, y’all. We’re in for yet another Constitutional crisis that the Democrats will do exactly nothing about.

        The man attempted a coup and faced zero consequences for it. In fact, he was rewarded with a second term as president. Forgive me if I refuse to hold my breath for Democrats to do anything substantial to prevent him from wiping his ass with the Constitution.

          What you aren’t mentioning is all of the corruption of SCOTUS and the Republicans at the state level that facilitated his success. The Dems did A LOT to expose them… the American people believed the lies and the state governments went along with the coup.

    “Election fraud”… how? A) Reporting facts of public opinion is never illegal. B) Election fraud comes in 3 forms, as far as I know. 1. Campaign finance fraud. 2. Civil rights violations. 3. Voting/ballot fraud. This is clearly none of these. C) There is no Election going on. The current administration has only existed for 3 months. We are about as far from an election while being far enough into an administration to hold a valid opinion on it as possible. D) YOU CANNOT RUN FOR PRESIDENT AGAIN YOU FUCKING RUBE! I don’t give a fuck what your ethically void legal team of Heritage Foundation ideolgues tells you. They are full of shit.

      So far. If the crybaby gets what he wants, it will be.

      D) YOU CANNOT RUN FOR PRESIDENT AGAIN YOU FUCKING RUBE!

      Alas, when has the constitution actually stopped him? His supporters fully support this blantantly corrupt crap, and he’s even selling “Trump 2028” merch.

        Yes, but for him to actually run, he needs to be on the ballot. Elections are run by the states. He would need enough states to recognize his legal right to run again to even be on their ballots. Then he would have to win any number of court challenges to his being allowed. And then he would have to actually win. And then he would have to be confirmed by Congress. I’m sure he’ll do anything he can to game the system, but I don’t think he’ll make it past all of those stopgaps. More than likely, if he gets a third term, it will not be through any amount of legitimate means. He’ll try to skip elections entirely, is my bet.

    We’ve got zionists running through the streets of New York assaulting people they perceive to be possibly arab, a mayor who is only there because trump pardoned him for his crimes, and trump, who “demands” the polls show him whatever he wants to see. It just gets crazier, stupider, and more corrupt every day, and we are only 2/48ths of the way to trump being out of office, assuming he leaves peacefully. He needs to be impeached.

    Anything that Trump doesn’t like is either done by paid protesters or considered political acts.

    But his cultists will accuse anyone else of being brainwashed.
