He’s also compared himself to the Mona Lisa for his ability to draw large, fawning crowds.
President Joe Biden on Saturday said the 2024 presidential race was “the weirdest campaign I’ve ever been engaged in” because of his rival Donald Trump’s behavior, which he said was “even worse” than in 2020.
The former president, meanwhile, fished for compliments on Truth Social by comparing himself to Elvis.
“For so many years people have been saying that Elvis and I look alike,” Trump wrote, adding a photo that included his face spliced with the late rocker’s. “What do you think?”
Trump is no stranger to humbly likening himself to cultural icons; he’s also compared himself to George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and Nelson Mandela as far as his political career is concerned. Aesthetically, he’s also compared himself to the priceless Mona Lisa painting because it inspires such devotion.
I’m actually starting to think.the reason republicans want him in the oval office is because, due to him being an incompetent insurrectionist moron with the cognitive ability and reasoning faculties of a unripe walnut, he’d be so easy to manipulate into signing into policy any goddamn thing they want him to, in order to cling on to their tenous grip on power.
Hasn’t that been the strategy for several decades?
Looking at you, Bush
Ah yes the man elected because people wanted to “have a beer with him.”
He felt like a common man because he was the failson; a lay-about black-sheep of a political dynasty spanning 4 generations.
He lost the vote, and, remarkably for POTUSes who lost the vote but won the election, he also lost the election and only won due to a lack of competent counting.
It had nothing to do with beer and everything to do with our system’s bad design.
We have to resize the court, before it’s too late.
Them handing the election to W despite his L was the sign it needed to happen, and a mere 20 years later they’re stripping women’s right to bodily autonomy.
And then there was Reagan, who signed off on a bunch of Iran-Contra things and then had Alzheimer’s and other kind of dementia melt his brain like the Mission: Impossible self-destructing tape or something
If that’s the case, why didn’t they pass any meaningful bill in the first 2 years of his presidency?
He didn’t champion anything, so Congress didn’t give him any bills to sign that he wanted.
It’s not 3d chess. Hell, it’s not even checkers. It’s that Republicans are stuck with this moron that a significant, and very loud percentage of their base LOVES.
They did spend a lot of time confirming judges, though
That’s why their (second?) favorite former president was an actor. They know how to follow a script.
