Social media users mercilessly mocked President Donald Trump over the weekend after a Fox News interview in which he referred to Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba as “Mr. Japan.”

He is the embodiment of the fat stupid American stereotype. I truly feel sorry for the decent, intelligent people that live in the USA.

You fucking leave Peanut Butter out of this!

it's the only thing I have left

The biggest takeaway for me with all this ... whenever there is another level of stupidity in American government or the president ... is not how dumb he looks .... but instead about how the entire country just passively accepts it. How the media just rolls over it like it's normal now.

This country is fucked

[–] CircuitSpells@lemmy.world 14 points 10 hours ago

The media is explicitly complicit in the rise of authoritarianism. I'd highly recommend the book "manufacturing consent", it should be required reading for all Americans at this point.

[–] alekwithak@lemmy.world 14 points 13 hours ago

Right? The press would never have let Biden or Obama forget that gaffe.

Modern News: "Let's talk about Biden's dementia."

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 31 points 16 hours ago (5 children)

I mean.....Biden does likely have dementia, and it is kind of scary that for a couple years there we had a president who may not have known where he was at times.

That being said, we traded in the guy with a good heart and dementia, for a racist hateful asshole with dementia.

And of the two, it's FAR scarrier that the current dementia president has authorization for nukes.

Biden was never going to nuke. Trump might. And forget the next day that he did.

Is this a repeat comment from 1989?

[–] harrys_balzac@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

It could be repeat from a couple of other decades as well.

[–] neukenindekeuken@sh.itjust.works 11 points 12 hours ago

It's almost like we should stop electing old fucks who don't understand the modern world and have mashed potatoes for neurons into the most powerful position in the world or something.

[–] PyroNeurosis@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 14 hours ago

We had Reagan before him. Dementia is swiftly becoming a part of the Presidency.

[–] Lucky_777@lemmy.world 13 points 16 hours ago

Then say he'll clean it up in two weeks.

[–] HenryDorsett@lemmy.world 6 points 15 hours ago

Nah, he'd hit up a mcdonalds, tweet about it while shitting, THEN claim he has no recollection of the event - which may be true, but that is really not a good thing.

Sir, Tim Apple on line 2

“Peanut butter TACO time”

Once you're done fucking with trump remember to keep going down the line. It doesn't end with him.

Liberals will go immediately back to brunch. We’ve seen it already.

Hey, a man's gotta eat.

All you LIbtRads have TDS because you KNOW Biden Biden BIDEN BIDEN has Dementia!

[–] Obi@sopuli.xyz 2 points 10 hours ago

Helaas, pindakaas.

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 13 points 16 hours ago

at least he didn't call him "Mr. Roboto". still embarrassing as fuck though.

[–] FerretyFever0@fedia.io 12 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Tbf, there's a lot of world leaders. I couldn't remember all of their names. Just say the fucking title. "Mr. Prime Minister". That's it. Not the country. Frankly, he should know the prime minister of Japan well enough to remember his name.

[–] gex@lemmy.world 15 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

That would require knowing/remembering that Japan has a prime minister

[–] FerretyFever0@fedia.io 4 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

I mean, most countries have a prime minister and/or a president in power. Even that's a bit to remember. Just for the love of god, fucking google it before you might have to talk about it.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 11 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago) (2 children)

Disagreed. If you're the President of the United States, knowing the basic structure and principal players of the world's 4th largest economy is the least. Kids memorize more Pokémon beasts than this idiot can handle world leaders.

[–] FerretyFever0@fedia.io 1 points 15 hours ago

Of course. This is the bare minimum with several crucial parts missing. Still can't meet it.

[–] bus_factor@lemmy.world 4 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

I wouldn't bet money on Trump being capable of googling things, and he's definitely incapable of admitting he doesn't know something by asking about it.

[–] FerretyFever0@fedia.io 1 points 16 hours ago

Of course not. This is just the bare minimum that most anyone can meet.

[–] Ioughttamow@fedia.io 9 points 16 hours ago

What a dumb piece of shit

[–] crank0271@lemmy.world 9 points 17 hours ago

Peanut allergies notwithstanding, peanut butter kills far fewer people by comparison.

[–] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 4 points 14 hours ago

Oh, my god... Fox News has to keep switching the caption to translate "Weave" into English.

[–] expatriado@lemmy.world 7 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

not even chunky, but buttery smooth

No it's that weird middle school cafeteria peanut butter that almost certainly was 40% peanuts at best.

[–] thesohoriots@lemmy.world 3 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

Old enough for the oil to be separating out a little bit

[–] GeeDubHayduke@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 13 hours ago

Did you say

OIL?

[–] dvoraqs@lemmy.world 1 points 13 hours ago

A lotta bit

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 3 points 15 hours ago

I say shit like that to be funny, but now I feel gross about it.

[–] wirebeads@lemmy.ca 3 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

He still talks about tariffs as if the company in the non U.S. country pays them.

Maybe before rolling out these tariffs, he should understand how the damned things actually work.

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 4 points 14 hours ago

He knows and just doesn't care. It's about bullying other countries to make "better trade deals".

[–] ABetterTomorrow@sh.itjust.works 2 points 16 hours ago

More like garbage
