Really classy guy.
I think “shitlord” is the word I would have used.
yeah but then i feel bad for shit. that that thing is its lord.
i just really hate that hes using the same air as the rest of us. theres only so much on the planet, and do we really want to share it with people like that? i think not.
Mr Tronald “shitlord” Dump
Don’t be bringing shit’s name into this. At least shit is actually useful for things like fertilizing crops.
He is an entire shithole third world country into and of himself. Welcome to trumpland, you’ve been trumped for good.
Get over your loss in 2020 first, you fucking cheeto
Don’t forget, he lost in 2016 too by popular vote (by a good margin).
He also lost in 2012
And was enraged over it and insisted there was cheating in that election too because of it
When people call out the media for not being harder on Trump, I point to stories like this.
People shouldn’t need editorials to explain to them why this is a terrible thing to say.
The media doesn’t have to be hard on him when just reporting on what he says pretty much condemns him entirely.
I have posted this dozens of times since it occurred. Back after the 2016 election, there was a panel of the creators of TV’s top political dramas. House of Cards, Scandal, The West Wing, and others. All the writers and producers said the same thing; if they’d had a character say that they ‘liked soldiers who didn’t get captured’ the TV networks and advertisers would have demanded that the character be destroyed by a massive wave of public opinion.
That’s so true and it just shows in way how trump supporters are willing to turn a blind eye so long as they think they are sticking it to the rest of us. What they don’t see is how it also corrupts them and ruins their own lives in the process.
Trump had a lottery where the top prize was dinner with him in the White House. There has never been a single winner. Trump hates his voters more than he hates Obama, but they’ll happily die for him.
I was so confused in 2016 by everyone who was excited for Trump, and I didn’t quite get why.
Now those same people feel a lot more comfortable saying horrible opinions in public and I’m like oh, that was why.
Exactly just reporting the facts is enough. If people still keep vote for Trump they are beyond saving anyways.
I agree totally. When trump was first elected, I was horrified to think that there are people so low down and rotten they would want someone like that to be our president. I disassociated myself with neighbors and friends who were republican and I really retreated from society completely. Now I’m thinking it’s time to consider moving out of this country for good and letting the rats have their sinking ship to ride into ruin and damnation.

From an earlier thread today
https://www.cracked.com/blog/6-reasons-trumps-rise-that-no-one-talks-about
The book ‘Future Shock’ came out about fifty years ago and it predicted that a lot of people, facing the massive changes caused by the switch from the Industrial Era to the Digital Age would be unwilling and/or unable to deal with the new world. They’d go insane, desperately trying to hold on tighter and tighter to a world they had already lost.
I can’t remember the last time I read anything from Cracked, but that was a good/depressing read
They shouldn’t, and yet they do.
People aren’t rational actors. Look at Trump’s method of argumentation, look at the success it has throughout the US and around the world, and use that to help infer what people are actually convinced by.
I’ve realized that you need to attach a paragraph referencing why it’s not the best outcome for kids to think they can just die at school, and no, praying kids also get the same outcomes.
So they can just read the headline.
They’ll still all vote Republican.
Trump only won 53% in Iowa. Way too many, but that’s plenty of Iowans voting against him too
Yeah, that other 47% aren’t going to Trump campaign events
True. Donnie was right when he said he could shoot somebody and they wouldn’t care. Yuck.
On the other hand, somebody could shoot trump and become a national and historic folk hero in every history book. Kinda makes you think, don’t it.

Lmao holy fuck.
But people will still vote for this fucking idiot.

But that’s not what he meant!
Thoughts and prayers were a bit much too ask for, clearly…
The bar was already so low…
“It’s just horrible – so surprising to see it here. But we have to get over it. We have to move forward.”
I expected something worse than that
It’s darkly funny to imagine something worse than that.
‘It’s just kids – so not exactly surprising to see it here. Anyway, get over it. Move on.’
Yeah, the get over it in this context is more of… an attempt? At empathy. Instead of “we have to get over it” it should have been something like “we will get through this”.
He’s said worse things though.
He said outloud the things that happen or need to happen, but way too soon and that made it incredibly insensitive. Grieving for someone for years isn’t healthy, or isn’t a normal thing to do. Grieving for the next couple of weeks or months though is something different and entirely acceptable. I doubt any form of attempt at solidarity so quickly after an event would be reacted to positively by the public
Ikr, I am not a trump supporter but this title was bait to say the least.
As someone who has a friend who isn’t here anymore because he was murdered (albeit not by a gun and not in a school shooting), unnatural deaths aren’t something you “get over”, dick.
It doesn’t matter how much you insult him. He and his ilk will never get it. Their entire families are born with a genetic defect that makes them incapable of having or understanding empathy.
It’s not genetic, that implies no fault. This is careful programming.
Pro Lifers when a bunch of kids die: Get over it! Pro Lifers when they lose at anything: FIGHT LIKE HELL!
Narcissism on display. If it’s not about me I don’t care.
I mean, anyone still voting for him doesn’t really give a shit about other people anyways, so they didn’t really have anything to get over.
This is US internal news, normally we would remove it, but in the interest of discussion, I would like to know if you think this should be allowed or not.
Perhaps the rule should be better clarified as “submission should be an internationally significant event”?
How is this internationally significant, though? Trump says something dumb or insensitive on a daily basis.
you are right. this is predictable shitty trump stuff. outlets keep pumping out trumpian headlines because the articles constantly get clicked on. ultimately, posts like these are only serving his interests by promoting him.

But you can check the other news community for that.
Still not global news though.
Yes, please. There are forums that are specific to US news only, and one called “world news” should be for events that are interesting to everyone in the world reading them. An ex president / presidential candidate saying something stupid isn’t that. Neither is a billionaire putting his 3 cents in, or news about their company.
This is not remotely internationally significant
If cheetolini gets a 2nd term you bet your ass it will be internationally significant
However, a random stupid comment isn’t even news

Not internationally significant. This is US news.
I don’t think it should be allowed. It doesn’t affect anywhere other than the US and isn’t internationally significant.
This should be removed in my opinion.
As an American, my opinion is: the less I see about the orange idiot the better
The French should at least be able to keep tabs on our internal stuff, we might need them again.
The US is still part of the world last I checked.
World news doesn’t mean “news about everything in the world”, it means “news that impact the entire world”.
Go ahead and look at a lot of the articles shared here. Many of them don’t impact the world. Many barely impact the country they originate from.
Then let’s remove those as well, shall we
Good luck with that.
“I’m sorry for your loss. Move on.” - Roy - It Crowd
Trump’s just paying homage to his favorite British comedy.
That was Roy, not Moss.
Can this guy choke on a Big Mac and die already
Please god 🙏🏻
He really is on course for a heart attack
Trump is a reflection of his base. Tons of them feel the exact same way.
And empathy doesn’t seem to be something they have.
