  1. A spark of self-awareness flashes momentarily in a cold and dark place.

    But lacking anything to set alight, it quickly goes out.

  2. I doubt he can even tell the difference between real life and half the bullshit AI slop he peddles at this point.

    Dude needs to go

  3. Did he just end another war? What is that now, eleven wars ended? One more and he gets a free hoagie 🤤

  4. I could already see how people inside his circle could be taking advantage of AI and making fake videos of Portland being on fire.

  5. He’s trying everything to distract from what a failure it’s all been.

    Prices through the roof.

    Home costs going up.

    Gas is 4+ dollars

    The Epstein files are still the topic of conversation.

    The wars we are involved in are getting worse

  6. “Nation continues to suffer as illiterate malignant narcissist billionaire conman wannabe dictator remains unable to interpret basic information.”

  7. I’ve probably said it before, but it’s pretty obvious that Trump is not exactly “all there” mentally anymore. Unfortunately, nobody is going to tell him “No” because he only appointed people to Cabinet posts who would be loyal to him no matter what. He’s going to become increasingly more erratic as his cognitive decline worsens. And that’s going to be bad news for everybody.

  8. We’re into 25th Amendment grounds here. This president is toying with the idea of sending American military forces into Portland, apparently based on false video footage, rather than speaking to the state and local leadership. And he is now admitting that it might just be a coverage snafu? Combine that with his weird posting of the AI fake video about medbeds that he quickly deleted, and I think we are easily into territory of needing this man to be relieved based on his declining mental faculties.

    MAGA shredded Joe Biden for his own senility. If they can’t see it happening to their own guy, we’re cooked. The downside of this, of course, is that we’d be saddled with a Vance presidency which might be worse.

  9. The President of the United States gets his intel from watching Fox News. Let that sink in.

  10. Well Republicans are stuck in the summer of 2020 constantly…

    Like their obsession with BLM and George Floyd is as bad as them still blaming Obama for things.

  11. TACO Trump, coming fresh off a surrender to Portland now gears up with his battle against Spineless Schumer. Who will blink first!?! Both are skilled chickens, and this shutdown showdown could go either way. Who will win in this mass surrender off? Find out soon, only on CSPAN.

  12. Wow. So all it took was the governor being NICE to him and telling him that pdx is actually a safe place with farmers markets, community bike rides, and beautiful fall weather? I believe him when he says his people told him differently. Fox is probably playing clips from years ago/other cities and deluding its viewers. I’m happy but also deeply troubled that he is so misled

  13. I knew it! He was watching the History channel and confused Portland for Poland.

  14. > “Am I watching things on television that are different from whats happening?”

    Yes that is what fox news is known for doing

  15. Womp womp. See what happens when you actually stand up to this walking testicle?

  16. Imagine not calling the Governor of the state before you commit military troops. The buffoonery level…

    Anyways, still waiting on those Epstein files.

  18. Literally every false right wing accusation of Biden being not all there, not the one running the show, completely demented from crippling old age, etc, etc, etc, ad nauseum, all to deflect from the truth – that *their* leader has utterly lost it, probably for a while.

  19. He’s so confused he thought an AI video of him talking about medbeds was actually him.

  20. Why is the president getting his intel from television? The US has become such a joke.

  22. It’s statements like this that tell you he’s an idiot.

  23. Today the president of the most powerful nation on Earth learned that tv isn’t real life. More at 11 on how Buffalo wings aren’t buffalo.

  24. Trump’s quote:

    >”I spoke to the governor, she was very nice,” Trump said. “But I said, ‘Well wait a minute, am I watching things on television that are different from what’s happening? My people tell me different.’ They are literally attacking and there are fires all over the place…it looks like terrible.”

    Oh man. Is he suddenly discovering that Fox News does not, in fact, accurately report what’s happening or properly convey context or scale?

  25. “They are literally attacking and there are fires all over the place…it looks like terrible.”

    1. Your grammar sucks

    2. I live two miles from where the ICE building “protests” are and it’s literally just 10 people holding up signs and giving the officers donuts. That’s the only demonstration going on in the city. It couldn’t be more peaceful right now. People going to breadfest and the city flea market. If shit starts up it’s bc of him.

  26. People in Portland: yes.

    What actually happened right before he tried to send the military: protesters taunted ICE by hanging donuts from fishing lines outside the ICE facility. Im not kidding; you can’t make this shit up

  27. I’m disappointed the military went along with this. Not surprised, but greatly disappointed. They were going to commit treason against citizens. “Just following orders” my ass.
