Republicans have done their best to destroy public education and it’s finally paying off for them

When this cognitive test bullshit gets trotted out, it's usually as cover for more bad news.

goes talking about himself again.

We’re all living it right now.

So spot on and funnny!

The reality is way worse than I could have imagined.

He’s a moron on steroids

Talking to people in the Villages. Basically telling them that they are stupid if they have trouble with a cognitive exam.

Such disrespect.

Trump: What? Where?

Aide: Right over there! I saw him clearly! Right there in that mirror!

(Trump goes over to the mirror)

Trump: He must be pretty quick on his feet. I’m looking, but the only one I see is me.

Aide: I guess you’re right.

Exactly right: from January 20, 2017, through January 20, 2021.

What an imbecile!

“Fake News!”
Good times relative to this.

Bragging that he passed a simple cognitive exam three times? Hell, doctors wouldn't administer that exam 3 times unless they thought it necessary.

He's got a 6th grade vocabulary, but his mental maturity is behind that curve.

You're giving him way too much credit.

He's incredible. He isn't self aware enough to know when he's dissing himself.

We'll get moron him in two weeks. The biggest moron anyone's ever seen.

george w bush did that as well in his acceptance speech where he said 'i was not elected' .... very long pause before he continued

I would have walked out of that rally .

When I retired, I looked into buying a place there, but after seeing the prices they wanted for almost nothing and taking in the current residents who lived there, I got in the car and fled.
After living in blood-red Florida for 3 years I fled the state as well. The culture shock was too much to take. I'd finally found something to which I couldn't adapt.

you couldn't pay me to live there. Or Florida.

This was 26 years ago, BTW. Things in The Villages are even worse now, although I've read that there is a Democratic contingent in place now. They probably get their houses egged and crosses burned in their yards quite often, though.

I visited many people in Florida over the years prior to my retirement, and thought it would be a great place to dodge upstate New York winters, but visiting there and living there are diametrically opposed. I'll just put a few more layers of clothing on and stick it out in New York, thank you. 😉

Florida was a purplish, even bluish state 30 years ago (as was Ohio). Long gone are those days.

They were too lazy to realize they were dealing with a 4 alarm emergency

were far better off when they were.

Florida politics have always been a cesspool of graft, payoffs, and shady dealings, even under the Dixiecrats. If the citizens of Florida only cared enough to find out what's really going on in Tallahassee.

His brother is deceased now but his SIL is still living there. She loves it. But I'm not surprised by that.

Back during the Civil Rights movement in the 60s and 70s, she researched emigration to Australia because she heard that they only accepted White immigrants. Her husband told her that Australia has Black Indigenous people so she lost interest.

Her sister's husband had a half Vietnamese daughter from his service time there before he was married. The girl had tracked him down and contacted him. Her mother was not in her life for reasons I don't remember. He confirmed that she was his daughter and then wanted his wife to adopt her and make her part of the family in the US. His wife was OK with it, but the wife's sister (my ex's SIL) told her that she should oppose the adoption. The SIL actually said, "That girl doesn't need an American family. She's probably got special privileges right where she is because she's half American. She's just looking for money because she thinks all Americans are rich."

But of course the opposite was true. The US had not yet left Vietnam at the time and being half American was a liability to her, not a privilege. She needed a stable, safe environment. Her Americsn father and his wife wanted to do the right thing by her.

So that SIL of my ex is right at home in the Villages as an enthusiastic MAGA.

a country of Whites where English was spoken so she would not have to learn another language.

she'd be a candidate for the HOA if they actually allowed women to hold such positions. 😉

I'm sure they allow women to hold office, but certainly only white women.

It certainly wasn't the place for me, that's for sure.

or why he even has rallies just to spew nonsense and insult people.

He has shown this can happen.

Not a good thing in my opinion. Trump thrives on the 24/7 attention. Take that away and he becomes nothing but an irrelevant bloviator and a pitiful circus clown. For a decade now, his opposition have been feeding into and playing Trump's game. Just the way he wants it. In fairness, ignoring the ridiculous clown and his antics isn't easy, but without the attention he feeds on he's nothing but a corrupt and lying big mouth of the dime a dozen variety.

“Good publicity is preferable to bad, but from a bottom-line perspective, bad publicity is sometimes better than no publicity at all. Controversy, in short, sells.”

--Trump

you're living proof a moron doesn't know they're a moron. Think about that for a moment.

That's a nice thought.

Hell would freeze over before Repug legislators actually vote for it.

who is the BIGGEST moron of all?

“As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.”
