I hope his IV treatments hurt. The bruising on his hand means it may sometimes be hard to get the vein.

To require the IV version of diarhetics means his congestive heart failure must be really bad. Most ppl can just take the pill version.

All that swelling can also mean he's near kidney failure. Would not be surprised if he needs dialysis soon.

I hope he suffers a lot of pain and we can hear him cry about it.

Also, release the Epstein files.

Reading this made my heart sing. Bless you, sir/madam.

[–] Darleys_Brew@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 day ago

Let’s hope he has a long life of this. Also, release the files…

A lot of people are saying Trump is a pedophile too.

[–] frenchfryenjoyer 35 points 1 day ago (2 children)

He raped children.

this is a bullshit attempt at distraction

[–] Phegan@lemmy.world 42 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He raped children, I am in no way, shape, or form disputing this.

But this is not a distraction. It was in Project 2025, he has talked about it for years. He wants to be a dictator. He isn't trying to distract from being a pedo, but treating his authoritarian statements as a distraction serves only to distract from any action we have left to stop it.

He can be both, a pedo and a dictator. And we should act accordingly

I'm just going to say it....

Did anyone not expect this? Like... Of the people on Lemmy, is anyone here surprised that he is pushing to be a dictator?

Oh, also, Donald Trump is in the Epstein files. Donald Trump raped children.

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Well there were a bunch of people saying that he's the better choice over Harris because of the whole genocide thing. Which, last I checked, still hasn't stopped, but when I point that out, people make new accounts to tell me I'm a genocide denier and should get genocided myself. Methinks those users are actually Trump fans.

[–] lobut@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day ago

Yeah, I pointed out how the Dems weren't as bad as Trump and they say I'm promoting genocide.

Idiots or bots? I don't know. If they're being earnest, I get that the corporate dems are in Israel's pocket and stuff. No denying that, but like you said ... the Republicans haven't stopped it as far as I can tell either.

[–] madjo@feddit.nl 7 points 1 day ago

Perhaps only MAGA is saying that.

A lot of people are saying he raped children.

Donald Trump raped children.

[–] BussyGyatt@feddit.org 10 points 1 day ago

I've heard a lot of people say that, you know.

[–] RagingRobot@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

All the best people are saying it too

“A lot of people are saying” is Trumps version of Christians saying “God says I’m right.” With Christians, they are the only ones who get to speak for God, who agrees with them on everything, and anyone saying otherwise is lying. With Trump, the “lot of people” are never people you can directly question or challenge. He’s making it up, saying he has a consensus but cant prove it.

A lot of people are saying Luigi Mangione did a horrible thing for the best fucking reason and was totally justified in doing so.

A lot of people want a dictator….yea, not quite as believable.

[–] sbrodolino21@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago (5 children)

We are witnessing the downfall of American democracy. Hopefully Europe holds.

[–] muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 day ago* (last edited 20 hours ago) (4 children)

Europe is already falling. This was part of a coordinated effort. The right did stupid shit to erode the US, hostile foreign powers hijacked the Republican Party using Trump once they had weakened the US enough, and this destabilized the entire western world due to their reliance on the US.

The republicans dumbly did exactly what their enemies wanted. And they still don’t even realize they are being used yet.

[–] sbrodolino21@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Not saying Europe is in the best shape but you have a President threatening war to stay in power, accepting Qatari bribes, saying he wants to be treated like kim jon un, etc.

It's not even close.

[–] muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works 0 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

And what is Europe doing “for the children” lately?

[–] sbrodolino21@lemmy.world 1 points 20 hours ago

Nothing at all. No law proposal has happened yet, nothing official.

I really doubt something like Chat Control will ever pass.

But a lot more of other people are saying things that would get the secret service asking them pointed questions if it got out.

[–] Goldholz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 50 points 2 days ago (5 children)

A lot of people also say "tax the rich to oblivion" and "housing food and water is a human right!". Will you do that too?

And Americans are rolling over and allowing this. My childhood and all those Hollywood movies actually made me believe Americans would fight. Instead they whimpered quietly.

"But people will die if we fight, we should just let them enslave the population in ~~death~~ labor camps instead!"

A lot of people are saying that trump had an intimate relationship with a sexual predator that trafficked children and was involved in the same or similar pedophilic behavior. A lot of people are saying this.

A lot of people are saying Trump going to Epstein's island dozens of times to rape kids was bad

I like dictators when they're riddled with bullets or hanging from a pole in the town square.

"Mr President, lots of people are saying that dictators end up in a noose like Saddam Hussein, or with a knife up their ass like Ghadafy, or in front of a firing squad like Ceausescu, or gunned down by their own bodyguards like Indira Ghandi, or beaten to death by a mob like Musollini, or killing themselves like Hitler. What death do you imagine the American Working Mob has in store for you?"

A lot of people are saying my penis is not small, in fact they are saying it's a totally normal penis, FAKE. NEWS. Sometimes after my IV treatment it ALMOST sticks out past the pubes I said MELANIA, I said would you look at THIS but she wouldn't unlock the bathroom door FAAAAKE NEWS!

"I don't waaant to be a dictator... but a lot of people waaant me to be a dictator... so maybe I'll be a dictator."

[–] fluxion@lemmy.world 113 points 2 days ago (8 children)

For the first time in history, after even a triumphant Washington refused to be treated as a king, all the power of the US government was handed to a single individual ...

... and he's a fucking idiot who can barely read. Great job patriots 👍
