His simple framework of "if it's a bad thing, it's 10x worse now vs the past so you need me in charge" that he has used forever (including 'American Carnage" in his acceptance speech) really fails when it comes to weather.
First, no normal human is blaming the Biden admin for the strength of hurricanes these days.
Second, if hurricanes are getting worse that implies climate change is real and we need a Democrat in charge to try to stop it.
It's a goddamn tragedy that a plan that stupid actually works on so many people.

glances at Biden's Senatorial record on climate change
I am. All those windmills built, and they can't even put them to use to push back against the storm? I mean what was the point ^gahd^
Windmills?
It seems to me that you aren’t well-versed in adventures—they are giants; and if you’re afraid, get away from here and start praying while I go into fierce and unequal battle with them!
For you my fair lady, I shall defend your beauty and honor by confusingly threatening anyone who make a pass at you
Trump says that every time. Clip from Kimmel.
I knew he said it before... but 5 times?! lmao he is truly a sad ridiculous man
People who support Trump post things Trump said. People who support Harris post things Trump said.
You're not wrong, but that's no reason to stop calling trunk on his shit.
Of course, it just reminded me a little of the "a vote for Bart is a vote for anarchy" gag.
the vacuum between his ears is almost as strong as the field of a black hole
On the inside of his head his speeches are concise and coherent. Unfortunately they get spaghettified as they travel across the interdimensional gap between Trump Land™ and the rest of the universe.
Because he's deaf and can't read. He got a hurricane briefing once and tried to correct the drawing with his personal hopes and dreams. That was the last time they gave him a hurricane brief.
People who support this dude are weird for not seeing he's not fit for office. He should step down and let someone younger go, like Biden did. He has way too much ego to admit he lost an election, nevermind stepping down, but it would be the play
Pepridge Farm remembers this. He used a Sharpie, and wanted to detonate a nuclear bomb on American soil.
Well I don't think that's the real problem here - if you could nuke a hurricane out of existence, it would be a feasible option. The area of effect of a nuke is a lot smaller than media has led us to believe, and if you detonate it at the right height there's not much fallout. It's a totally reasonable option... If it worked
The problem is, it wouldn't work. For any competent president, this was just a bit of brainstorming. It's creative out of the box thinking, I bet previous presidents have asked the same thing
And that's the problem. The conversation should've gone "can we nuke the hurricane? Have we looked into that?" "Yes Mr President, we've looked into it and it just doesn't math out". And then they continue on with disaster preparations like a sane person
The problem is: why did we even hear about this? Even the most harsh critics couldn't make brainstorming look bad, throwing out any idea that pops into your head is the point.
But he had a creative idea, and where most people would feel a moment of disappointment and move on, or maybe even task people to reevaluate the option, he bragged about it in public. He turned "the science doesn't work" into "they wouldn't let me"
And honestly, it's probably one of the best ideas he's ever had..."if sunlight kills the virus, can we use that?", "if bleach kills the virus, could we inject bleach?" - it shows like understanding of biology, but a president doesn't need to know biology. They just need to hear "this wouldn't work" from someone who understands the science, and move on
But the damaged little snowflake he is, he doesn't let go of the weirdest of ideas, because they made him feel smart for a moment and he's deeply insecure. He brags about his brainstorming sessions, which is weird, and then he presents his ideas in public as "they wouldn't let me" instead of "this was a neat idea, but unfortunately it wouldn't work"
And that's far more disturbing. Having a creative idea is good, having it turn out to be impractical is fine, but holding onto it and pitching it to the public is deeply worrying
Him being unfit for office has little to do with his age, to be clear.
It 100% has to do with his age of you consider the chances of dementia in a 30—60 year old candidate, and then in him, a candidate with full-blown dementia.
Completely missing my point.
You'd think he'd remember given he blocked aid to Puerto Rico after Maria – a Category 5 hurricane.
What? How can you forget after the whole sharpie thing? That was kind of hilarious. Just draw an arrow on map and redirect Milton towards some immigrants or something buddy. Your succubus hag seems to think weather control is possible and you think highly of your own abilities - give it a try!
He wasn't aiming the hurricane, he was trying to make himself retroactively correct because he didn't know the states names.

Idk, maybe we're sleeping on him just being stupid.
We've always known he's stupid, but he probably has dementia too.
Having heard the man talk, it really does sound like cognitive decline, especially compared to older recordings of him.
I want my Leader to be PROUD of his Lack of 5th Grade Education Level!
