Trump's Insanity

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you the remarks of the President United States on Memorial Day 2025:

“You know, when I did the 250, there was nothing I could do. It was 250. It was 250. So I can’t see — that was my baby. The country happened to be 250 years old. But what I did do is during my first term, I got the Olympics, and I got the Great Soccer. You know that whole deal, right? I got — we call it soccer. They call it football. I got them both. I got the Olympics. First, I got the Olympics, and I got it. I was president. And I said, you know, it’s a shame. It’s a shame. I got the World Cup, and I have the Olympics, and I did it. And you have no idea. President Obama didn’t want to make a call to the Olympics. You know why? Because he went to Switzerland or wherever, and he said, you know, if a president goes to get the Olympics, you have to have a deal. You have to be chosen. He went there, and he came in fourth, so he hated them, I guess. And he was unwilling to make a call, and they called me up. The Democrats called me up, actually, from Los Angeles, and I said, I’ll do it. I made the call, and I couldn’t get the people off the phone because they were so starved for love, because nobody would call them from — anyway, we made a deal. I got the Olympics. Then we got the World Cup with Johnny. We got the World Cup, and I got them both, and I looked at my people. I said, isn’t it a shame? I got these two, but it wasn’t in the next four years. It was right after that, and the one after that. And I got the Olympics, and I got the World Cup, and we also have 250, so that’s a pretty wild term. But I got these two things that are incredible. Nobody else could have done it. I’m telling you, everybody wanted it. Nobody could have done it. And I said, and I won’t be president, because I’ll be president for four more years, but it won’t be — and then they cheated and rigged the election. They rigged — you know, they don’t even turn off the cameras when I say that now, because now they know it’s true, too. But they knew it was true before. Remember, the cameras used to immediately turn off. You see all those beautiful red lights go off. Now I can say whatever I want, because then they know it’s true. But they knew it was true before. It’s fake news. That’s why they call it. But you know what? This term is much more consequential than if I had done it the more traditional way. This was slightly harder, believe me. It’s slightly more dangerous, because they’re criminals on the other side that tried to put your president in jail and went after him, just like they do in third-world countries. And we all beat em together. We beat em because our level of popularity was so high.”

Do you still think he’s sane?

his funeral ‘tribute’ was all about him.

Besides all the other things he deserves I’d pay good money to slap him in the face. I don’t even need to be first in line.

Insanity would excuse his behavior and make him above the law which appears to be his primary motive in life

if they didn't know the nature and quality of their actions or that their actions were wrong - the old M'Naghten Rule. He knows what he's doing, more or less, although I don't think he has a concept of right and wrong - so he just does what he wants. He's not normal, though. That boy ain't right.

This is more like word puree. There are words and phrases but the sense behind them is pureed and all you get after the brain-blender stops whirring is a word Slurpee.

the 250 he keeps repeating. He sounds like someone who has dementia. My parents had dementia and made no sense at times and repeated ( especially my Dad) things often. It was so difficult to watch them deteriorate like that.

I hit the mute button. I refuse to listen to anything he says. However, I read his comments you posted. His has figured out a way for the US to win the World Cup. When the other teams from around the world show up he will send in ICE and deport their players and the US will be the only team standing.

It's hard to see much consciousness in that spew. More like a core dump.

I hope he has scared off the World Cup and the Olympics. The UFC on the WH lawn is all he ever managed to 'get'.

28. 2026 World Cup ???
Sat Jul 5, 2025, 06:18 PM
Jul 2025

He's very much bragging, I think, about the 2026 World Cup where some of it will be in the US which coincides with the US turning 250.
I say, I think, because I'm not sure.
I know, the guys a complete asshole and a moron, and he goes off this way whenever he feels he's hit a highpoint or made a move that was pure genius that nobody else in the world could do.
And yes, this does make him mad, mad in the sense that he is crazy and yet brazened by his adoring MAGA supporters who don't necessarily follow his every word, no one could, but who do pick things out of the bag of trash he spews every time he talks in public or tweets. For to them, he can do no wrong.
And that is pretty damn sad.
Here's the thing, you got your hardcore MAGA who basically think Trump is a God-like figure, and then you got your un-informed folks who don't really want to get into politics who don't like how the man talks, but still think, well maybe. Well maybe, why not give him half a chance, what the hell do I got to lose, is what they think.

Then you got the rest of us, who are at the very least, fairly informed, who are sick to their stomach over all of this crap, knowing full well he's a crook destroying our country and any hope we have of possibly saving the world for future generations.

But he's right, we did want to put his ass in prison where it does belong. And I'm not afraid of admitting as much either!!!
