Old sleepy Don. They call him the incoherent rambler. Everyone is saying it.

[–] [email protected] 88 points 2 months ago (2 children)

They call him the incoherent rambler. Everyone is saying it.

And everyone really is saying it, too

[–] Plopp 38 points 2 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Many people have been saying it for a long time, folks

[–] felbane 5 points 2 months ago

The best people.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Hell, he's probably saying it, too

[–] [email protected] 26 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

I have the biggest cognitive decline, just tremendous, all the doctors are saying it, they're saying "sir, your cognitive decline has been faster than I've seen in anyone else." I make no sense at all, it's amazing folks

[–] rayyy 8 points 2 months ago

Careful there. Next thing you know all his cult followers will be running around in straitjackets as a show of support.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

~~Mr. Trump~~ SIR, your cognitive decline has been faster than I've seen in anyone else.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Ha yeah true that's much closer to the real thing. Gonna shamelessly edit that in

As a nickname, yes. For POTUS, hell no.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Oh of course. I just know he does the alliteration thing for insulting others because he's dumb and his base is too. Which unfortunately makes it effective.

So giving ole Diaper Don some alliterative handles is both too easy and fun. There are tons of options and I'm sure Dumbass Don would love to hear them all.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Don poorleone apparently really irks him.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

Fantastic choice. I keep forgetting that one.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Target Practice Trump.

[–] Freefall 3 points 2 months ago

Solid clarification!

[–] TexasDrunk 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I prefer Drowsy Don but I'm all in on whatever all y'all decide as long as it has alliteration.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

I like Diaper Don.

It suggests he's a crybaby. It ties in with sleepiness because babies get sleepy too. It implies the loss of control over his body, which also suggests his mind is also probably going. It makes you wonder if he's walking around with shit in his pants. And, it's hard for them to refute.

I think Don-OLD Trump is simple and effective.

Everybody's talking about how they can't even see the tears in his eyes cuz it looks like his eyelids are practically sewn shut

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

Hell, he probably said it himself during that interminable incoherent ramble he called an acceptance speech. Nobody noticed because everyone's ears had gone numb by then.

[–] eran_morad 49 points 2 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

Beat me to it. Yup - he should drop dead and then rest in piss.

[–] [email protected] 39 points 2 months ago (1 children)

He's already having issues with his speech and he keeps doing these weird tangential rants that don't make any sense.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 2 months ago (1 children)

He has been doing this aince 2016 and it has only gotten worse!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Rants! Tangentia--You know, the Weirdest tangents--I gave another speech last week--not at the RNC--No I said the great Hannibal Lecter couldn't have said it better than me! The best! Hot dogs! Away we go and nobody--you know nobody!--does cognitive like me! Just think about that for a second. Four years! Four more years! The best tangents! The most rambling! Sleepy...

[–] [email protected] 27 points 2 months ago (2 children)

As much as I hate trump. I'd rather have that narcissistic shit of a useful idiot sitting between us and Vance if that fucking fascist ever gets near that seat.

That guy is everything wrong with trump wrapped up in a more emotionally intelligent, sharper, more charismatic, more attractive, and younger package.

He's the exact sort of motherfucker I've been expecting them to push after him to take advantage of the path he created, and its fucking terrifying.

[–] FlyingSquid 36 points 2 months ago (1 children)

There is no way anyone would be able to convince Trump to drop out. He decided in 2019 that he was entitled to a second term. He's not going to change his mind now.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 months ago (2 children)

It's all or bust for trump. White house or jail.

[–] zigmus64 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Not sure that’s the case anymore, unfortunately

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

It may take longer to get him in jail even when he loses but Harris may be able to help get him there after she wins, especially with some serious SCOTUS reform. People need to vote BLUE down the ballot!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

White House or big house

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

I don't think Trump has the stature of someone who's overcome a social disability. That guy oozes neurotypical privilege.
