We can get a couple hundred actors a couple times a week in different cities for "events".

[–] SeductiveTortoise@piefed.social 11 points 1 month ago

We can get him some audience dressed in orange at a facility with 24/7 service

[–] SethTaylor@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I volunteer as a tribute. I will listen to four hours on Arnold Palmer's dick if it means this guy stops being president.

He's already grifted untold billions, so why continue with the headache? He can fuck off into the sunset and never face repercussions for anything. Maybe he'll even join Bush Jr in a painting session and the media can lick their asses acting as if they didn't do immeasurable damage to the country...

[–] this_1_is_mine@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

He thinks.... If he lives long enough to enjoy it. But history though written by the victors is edited by those who lived longer.

[–] ferrule@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

we are now in an age where history will contain more facts than pesonal views. we have the annual fed reports showing he was bad for the economy. we have all the police and judiciary reports showing all his crimes along with video of him admitting it. and we have archived tweets of him being a fucking moron.

You can't rewrite history when the internet never forgets.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The internet foesn't forget, but half the country refuse to believe anything not told to them by fox news. Thats how they know what their opinions are.

[–] ferrule@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

trump is worried about his legacy, what they write in history books. he won't be remembered fondly.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

I hate how everyone treats Budh like a jolly lovable old grandpa.

And not.....you know......A FUCKING WARMONGER!!!

[–] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 43 points 1 month ago

Don't give me hope.

Are we certain he hasn’t already died and they shoved an animatronic chat bot up his ass?

It would explain a lot. Including the smell.

[–] muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

They absolutely will pull a Weekend at Bernie’s with trumps corpse but like every else republicans do, it will be dumb and obvious.

We will all know when Trump finally dies. Hell, we’ll probably know before he does.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 1 month ago

russia has replaced as a cyborg/renaminated corpse bot.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 29 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

I mean. If it gets him out of politics, I’m sure we can get him an off-mainstreet theater in Branson.

(I know he’s full of shit, like always, but I can snicker, can’t I?)

[–] muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 month ago

I suppose it wouldn’t be the worst thing to happen to a president in a theatre.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

I don't know man.....with all the shrinkflation, full size snickers are almost what halloween size was when I was a kid. And costs 6x what full size bars used to.

[–] northernlights@lemmy.today 26 points 1 month ago

Nothing he rambles means anything, it's so tiring to be bombarded by it every single day.

[–] Kintarian@lemmy.world 21 points 1 month ago

Yes, please quit

What a weird way to spell clown

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 12 points 1 month ago

shouldve just stuck making reality slop, its big money very low effort fits your style.

[–] muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 month ago

Trump: -burns down the everything- “I’m bored. Let’s bring back the apprentice”

[–] AliasAKA@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

Pretty sure he wants to just resign so Vance can pardon him.

[–] SethTaylor@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I'd let this dude host every one of my birthday parties til one of us croaks if it meant he'd resign

I'm talking speech without timer here, folks. He can speak as long as he wants. I don't care. I just want the shit to stop.

[–] Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

What's your policy on microphone blowjobs and slurs?

[–] SethTaylor@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

The more, the merrier. Who doesn't love a blowjob? I know Bill Clinton does!

[–] ThunderComplex@lemmy.today 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

What’s your policy on just standing there and idly dancing for 45 minutes?

[–] SethTaylor@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

If it's YMCA he's dancing to, I'll have the oxygen tank ready

[–] Rhoeri@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

It’ll be great to one day be able to wake up without the smell of his diaper everywhere. Every morning I look forward to that one headline, and every day I’m left disappointed.

[–] Clent@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

He's trolling you and it's working. Sad.

[–] SethTaylor@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I feel more teased than trolled. I now fully want this to happen. Trump residency at the Sphere. Trump the podcast. Trump the talk show. He can have whatever except the White House. He can host my next birthday party and narrate my children's birth so long as he resigns lol

[–] Clent@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 month ago

so long as he resigns

That's the troll, he knows people want it and he knows he never will but wants to feed off the attention.

In this case, he also knows other don't want it and is able to play feed off reactions for multiple sides.

The best option for those who want this is to straight up ignore it, dont click on it, dont talk about. If forced to acknowledge it just flatly say, "ok"

It's called gray rocking and it's the only want to interact with toxic people; they can feed off negative energy more easily than they can feed off positive energy.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 5 points 1 month ago

Sounds great, bud! Do it!

[–] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Well, I can't wait to watch the Kennedy Awards.
