Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

The fact that Trump is old is no where near as serious as the fact that he's a complete fucking idiot. The smartest thing that guy has ever done was marry Ivana, because she was probably the only person in that entire family who actually knew how to use her brain. And he couldn't even manage that for more than about two minutes.
He's not an idiot entirely; he has skills - they're just not intellectual. They are decaying with age though. Worse than his relative intelligence (I put it at no better than average) though, he's a narcissist. Peak narcissist, in fact, and he's bought into his own cult. He's also desperately trying to stay ahead of the speeding train of consequences, and if he has to destroy what's left of the country to do it, he absolutely will.
