      His followers don’t even care anymore. He could tell them he’s a dragon and they’d be like “WE LOVE YOU TRUMP” and just start wearing dragon masks to rallies.

    2. Like I’ve said before, if they don’t fact check him in real time his followers will eat it up and never be able to be told anything different. That’s why he was so upset about being fact checked in the debate. He needs them to absorb the lies before they hear the truth in order for the lies to stick.

      Trump is supremely stupid, there’s no doubt, but he’s got some incredibly smart puppeteers pulling his strings. Pretty sure one of them speaks fluent Russian and likes posing shirtless riding bears.

    3. You mean other countries won’t put up with US bullshit just because a billionaire did/said it? Amazing!

      Some psych professor(?) literally wrote a book called “Bullshit” in which he distinguishes that from a lie. A person who lies is trying to fool you into believing him. A bullshitter doesn’t care if you believe him or not, as long as you keep listening.

    5. And while idiots they both are, this sub is getting really annoying. There’s gotta be more facepalm content on the internet that’s not American politics.

      *durr i seen things i dint wanna hurr*

      Get the fuck over it. You have the report button available, and you’re not required to be here.

    7. He has a BS in Economics. Do we really believe he would be first in his class in that subject? I doubt he ever even attended.

    8. The Elon Musk fiasco with Xitter here in Brazil was just so… dumb.

      * Elon Musk refuses to take down accounts that were spreading desinformation and incentivizing attacks on the government (which resulted in an invasion of government buildings).
      * Supreme Court issues fines for failing to comply.
      * Elon Musk decides to have Xitter leave Brazil, not paying fines and trying to circumvent Brazilian law.
      * The Supreme Court says that if Xitter is going to flee the country in order to avoid fines, it should not be able to operate in Brazil, so Xitter gets IP-blocked.
      * Supreme Court also freezes Starlink assets to pay for Xitter fines. This is something that would not have been legal, but when Elon took over Xitter he fired almost all regional employees and had Starlink pay part of Xitters’s severance obligations. This made both companies part of the same economic group, which made the Supreme Court order valid.
      * Elon Musk loses his shit and makes Starlink issue a statement saying it won’t block Xitter until it gets its accounts unfrozen (further cementing the argument that both companies are part of an economic group and making the decision to freeze assets even more justifiable).
      * While Xitter is frozen, Bluesky and Threads skyrocket. This is important because Brazil has a >200M population with very active social media activity, making it highly relevant in the digital ads market.
      * Elon Musk tries to circumvent the ban by moving to CloudFlare, making it so it was impossible to block Xitter without taking down other services.
      * CloudFlare doesn’t care about Xitter’s notion of “FREEDOM 🦅🦅🦅🦅” and says it will comply with Brazil’s Supreme Court, geoblocking Xitter in Brazil if it needs to.
      * Xitter gets fined (again) for this little stunt.
      * Elon Musk caves in and says it will comply with Brazil’s Supreme Court’s orders in order to lift the ban.

      To the general outcome for Xitter was:

      * Got fined (more than once).
      * Lost users to competing platforms (a lot of them probably permanently).
      * Lost advertisers (a lot of them probably permanently).
      * Probably lost money with the CloudFlare maneuver (which wouldn’t accomplish anything anyway because no sane company would buy ads while the platform was banned).
      * Decided to comply with the orders which set it back to right where it was before the whole ordeal but in a worse economic position.

      Watching this unfold in real time was like watching a pidgeon playing chess against Stockfish, but all the pidgeon’s moves were shitting in its own mouth and scream EN PASSANT.

    9. Doesn’t everyone know he was lying about being at the top of his class? UPenn releases their Dean’s List each year, and President Trump’s name wasn’t on it during any of the years he attended.

    10. The real facepalm is that people think Trump can be humiliated; the false reality he lives in due to his extreme malignant narcissism does not allow him to experience humiliation.

    11. Exactly. I wish people would stop reposting these weirdos’ bullshit. Even a supposed “negative” reposting, ie facepalm, is giving them additional exposure. The more we ignore them, the better off we’ll be.
