Every day is April Fools Day with that clown

[–] atropa@piefed.social 8 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (2 children)

With all due respect to you, but now you are insulting clows by comparing them to a criminal

[–] Ariselas@piefed.ca 10 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Ok, then hes the most criminal clown since John Wayne Gacy

[–] humanspiral@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 days ago

He's killed much more than Gacy.

Thank you. My favorite drummer's entire family was clowns and they were the nicest people.

He's a sad april fool's day clown

[–] TigerAce@lemmy.dbzer0.com 33 points 3 days ago

That man is a fool every day of the year.

"I'm stepping down as Pres! I realised I'm a piece of shit that can't run shit!"

"april fools!"

[–] OwOarchist@pawb.social 15 points 4 days ago

Time for a court ruling that states saying "april fools" is not sufficient grounds to reverse a valid statement of resignation.

I would take permanent psychic damage if this actually occurred

[–] Voroxpete@sh.itjust.works 29 points 4 days ago

Fuck it, why not? Everything else this administration does is a joke.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago

It is his people's day

He’s gonna suck off Netanyahu live on Fox News, with play-by-play calling by Snoop Dogg and Kid Rock

[–] D_C@sh.itjust.works 6 points 4 days ago

Again?

Ohhhh, live on faux news. Yes, that's a bit different from last time he had ~~Bubba~~Bibi in that disgusting hole on that disgusting orange face.

[–] Maiq@piefed.social 16 points 4 days ago

Were all fools now, at the clown show.

[–] plz1@lemmy.world 15 points 4 days ago

This is where he surrenders the US to Russia, right?

[–] danekrae@lemmy.world 13 points 4 days ago

A fools april day.

[–] QuentinCallaghan@sopuli.xyz 8 points 3 days ago

News like these are the reason why April Fools' Day is meaningless these days.

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago (3 children)

It's Thursday before a 3 day weekend. This is when they always release news that tanks the stock market. He's going to announce boots on the ground, I guarantee it.

Oh shit. My days are off because I just got put on third shift lol.

[–] GG@kbin.earth 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Wouldn't surprise me if he's that stupid, in all honesty. I just hope the rest of the world doesn't go supporting him in fears of becoming the next target. The guy clearly has a desire to ruin USA. It was American voters who elected him. We should just let them get what they wanted. A stupid asshole ruining his own country. Let it happen and avoid getting involved.

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

With rampant voter suppression, musk being involved with voting machines, and the fact that Trump straight up admitted the election was rigged multiple times, I really don't think it was the American voters who elected him.

[–] 1984@lemmy.today 2 points 3 days ago

I dont think anything in America is genuine and works for the best of the people.

[–] 1984@lemmy.today 2 points 3 days ago

Im not sure. It just revovered a little bit, and he needs it to stay up.... But we will see.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

Fitting for a fool like him.

[–] Napster153@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

Bet ya'll he'll give an out of season April Fools Joke
