Shit rolls downhill, and Trump is crouching on top of the turd pile.

So then all of those people who did it and acted on it were kidnapping. Great, lock them up.
Orwell, please stop predicting things.
"Look, people, I'll make this simple so that everyone understands: If you hate the thing I did, I didn't do it. If you love the thing someone else did, I did it. Easy."
This is far too easy to comprehend for a quote from that stack of rancid orange whale shit. There needs to be lots more tangents and useless bits of inane waffling in there.
So… someone else is drafting EO’s and using his signature? How exactly is that better?
Must have used autopen...
The autopen has achieved sentience.
Autopen is written in that invisible ink we had as kids!
The buck stops somewhere I guess.
hey look, I don't know what's going on, I just work here. ask someone who's responsible. the buck stops somewhere over there.
The donvict motto: "the bucks stops with 'that was other kids'".
The buck stops with... I don't know, someone else.
It almost resembles a Nuremberg plea speech.
Ah so it was autopen. Then it needs rescinding doesn’t it according to your own logic.
Dick head.
Also just confirms he isn’t running the show. The “deep state” and his “handlers” are, according to MAGA logic.
Dick heads.
Knew that whole "Biden didn't even sign the EOs!" had to be projection and setting up for something. Here it is. They don't even need him to rubberstamp shit anymore, just full Weekend at Bernie's with our senile walking corpse president. Hooray.
But don't worry, this ends once Trump leaves office /s
We already knew that Putin is the fucking president.
Afraid of everything, a coward given all the power of the executive and capable of only whining, shifting blame, and scapegoating the working class and poor. How evil do you have to be to deny asylum seekers and refugees?
If Joe Biden had claimed he didn't sign something after he obviously did, the top story would have been all about whether he still had the mental competence to lead....
We watched this man fail to operate a car door, we're beyond reason
The whole thing was computer, he was expecting an automatic I'm guessing
Link?
Not trying to be rude here, but this ain't it. This sort of thing happens to me a lot due to hypotension and I'm perfectly mentally capable. Criticize the shit he says, not his physical struggles/disability. This just normalizes ableism. A disabled person can very well be capable of leading.
Thanks. I have had similar things happen to me while not paying attention...
Purely pathological
Didn't he say the other day that Biden's pardons are not valid because he didn't personally sign them? Does this make Trump's expulsion orders also not valid? Ah sorry it only counts when other people do it.
Also he just admitted he just signs whatever and had no idea what he just signed actually contains. Either that or these "other people" faked his signature which is another can of work on its own. Maybe he'll blame it on the deep state lol.
Such a clown show it puts professional clowns to shame.
Not sure if Mafia boss or toddler.
What he is, is the most prolific traitor in American history, worse than ALL other American traitors COMBINED.
He and the people propping him up. There are a fair number of them.
Not sure if he's an idiot or loofah sponge filled with jello.
So, he's admitting he's ignorant and not in control of this administration. I wonder if his worshipers will ever notice that their idol isn't the one pulling the strings?
Luckily, for him, absolute cognitive dissonance is a prerequisite to being a Trumpist.
Ok, I'm going to get hate for this but cognitive dissonance is not a pejorative or a synonym for hypocrisy. It's a feeling one gets from holding conflicting cognitions that provokes further thought. I doubt his fans experience it at all as 'trump said so' is enough to make anything make sense to them.
Youre right, the correct terminology here is "doublethink"
Probably saw some of the impeach comments on social media. It still galls me the folks that want to treat things from maga with the same weight as democrats or any other political figure. When you are a bald face liar no one should believe you without massive evidence what you say is true. I have known and sorta assume it was prevalent enough that most other folks knew, that person, that friend, maybe that family member ; who is always full of shit. You hear something from them and you assume its bs unless someone more credible mentions it and then maybe you put some effort to look into it.
Ah yes a true leader. Takes credit when he wants, not when he doesn't.
The Act itself requires a Presidential proclamation before the powers can be invoked.
That didn't happen. And if it did, it wasn't that bad. And if it was, that's not a big deal. And if it is, that's not my fault. <--- We are here And if it was, I didn't mean it. And if I did, you deserved it.
And this is coming from the same guy who claims Biden's pardons are invalid because he used an auto pen instead of physically signing each one.
I mean, it’s in the federal register with his signature on it: https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2025-03-20/pdf/2025-04865.pdf
There’s no way to know if it was done with autopen, his hands, or some intern using the Annotate->Add Signature feature on their MacBook or whatever but his signature is on it.
Certifiable retard.
The buck stops somewhere else.
He denied any association with project 2025 despite many members of his administration writing it. He also said ukraine started their war. He also says canada doing anything except becoming the 51st state is escalating the economic warfare canada started. He calls the trade deal he signed with Canada a terrible deal and asks who the hell signed it. He knows the internet has rotted our memories and attention spans and hes trying to rewrite history to his favour with that knowledge. The scary part is, it's working.
Trump claimed ignorance
How many times has Trump done this? And he wants us to fear him?
Even if that's the case tough shit. Scratching through that Teflon coating you fucker.
JFC can he not take even the slightest criticism without shirking his responsibility? What a sad joke he is.
This nutgobbler has never taken accountability for anything.
