'Aghast' is more likely that 'they' (probably no-one in reality) were yawning at yet another tirade of nonsense. I know what you're thinking, there's been articles like this for years that makes you wonder how anyone could still think something like this. This is essentially tabloid, clickbait crap. That's why. When the mainstream papers really start calling out the lunacy (repeatedly) you'll know it's nearly over for him. Sadly some time away yet.

It's just headline gore. Typical "View From Nowhere" style writing that tries to displace the perspective of the journalist onto a third party.

It's popular among news venues that are terrified of appearing biased.

next, they'll be telling us "wait, guys... his skin, it looks orange!" like it's news

At least he didn't have his own media outlet.... "hic, I order a radio broadcast, ....right now!... I know it's 2am... I want.. I want the bestest, geatestest ... USSSSSR.. sSSR... I want the moon on a stick! Yes! ..Hic... Give me it. Give ME the moon, NOW!.... What? No! I dshidn't just Shay anything if the sort...yeh, the shmoon, moonsss, moonsess. Wodka? Oh loveshly thanksh....now what's was I sayinsh?..."

Russians also describe 1990s Russia as an economic wasteland where all of Russia's wealth and resources were gathered up by oligarchs. So yeah, pretty apt analogy.

Fuck, I thought this was bad.

When Yeltsin passed, the average alcohol consumption worldwide fell by about 10%.

In the 1980s, Trump always made Spy magazine's "Top 10 Worst People, Places or Things" list. His one "mitigating factor" was always "at least he's not in politics".

A useful idiot still needs to be able to do things for you, win over the right people, set the tone of the room, be the distraction. If the useful idiot goes off of the rails, stops being taken seriously at all, you're left with just an idiot. They're worried they lost the useful part

It’s RawStory. Effectively Newsmax for the left wing. Feel-good stories that hold essentially nothing binding them to reality. Best avoided.

I'm surprised more people didn't see him as a joke after commenting about his building being the tallest after 9/11

Agreed. I assumed there was something very wrong with him during his first term.

He was never all right. Even when he was a kid people said that he had massive ego problems. When he was in high school playing poorly in sports people found the fact that he never admitted to losing or playing poorly to be intensely irritating.

NUMBER 1 MOST MENTIONS!

I was beginning to get suspicious

Because the laws never expected the rest of government to be complicit

Nasty People of Tranquility, so nasty.

I'm worried we'll start a war with them and we'll be put down, blasted by tranquilizers.

Where are you getting it that cheap?

His cronies will try to keep him in power as long as possible, so that their schemes keep getting greenlit. Also, they have stupid fucking Vance prepped up.

That's what's blowimg my mind. Yeah he's old, demented, has always been surrounded by dumb yes men. But even putting that aside, he's just as dumb as a sack of rocks. Always has been.

He may easily be the dumbest US president in US history

Except Trump had made it abundantly clear that: A) American agreements are signed in pencil B) The American people are OK with A).

the US's agreement on something is worth basically nothing, and will be for a very long time

should have been removed kirked already

At this point I don't think he's aware of much beyond that 2pm is pudding time.

I would assume the cloth on the flag has broken down by now. It's been getting blasted by unfiltered solar radiation for almost 60 years. I'm not sure what it was made of, but I wouldn't expect thin cotton or polyester lasting in that environment for 60 years.

He likes white things so you'd think he'd know about the flag

Never should have made it through the first term.

Republican party bent the knee so god damned fast...

the US is a signatory of the Outer Space Treaty

Oh, look, another treaty he's ignoring.

I'd suggest Lunarica, but constructing or comprehending even a shoddy portmanteau like that is far beyond his capabilities.

Fuck it, he should outlaw all proper nouns. Nouns are just like pronouns they’re woke and gay. Everything is either America or Trump.

Invading an undefended unpopulated rock might just be achievable by the current US military. Although I have some doubt that anyone in the current US administration knows about the lack of oxygen.

Is he actually making these AI memes? or is he so fried that Miller is just controlling his account at this point.

Yeah, we put a flag there and everything. Come on people!
