The new self-deprecating Trump is a hit.

I think not.

I’m glad we didn’t find out if Aquanet has ballistic stopping qualities…

Drago said...

Has Field Marshall Freder labelled Trump's description of his combover a lie yet?

That's sort of Freder's thing now.

I LOLed. Literally. His self effacing humor is one of the things that can’t be faked by a “normal politician.” It’s endearing to many, including me, but probably infuriating to his opponents who keep trying to dehumanize him.

Solid early contender for Best Thread Comment.

It's only rated for up to .38 caliber.

Fun!

He's fun.

I mean, God, we need some fun.

Is there anyone in politics having more fun than Donald Trump?

Biden’s nickname in the Senate was “Plugs”

In my experience, if there’s one thing leftists hate, it’s a sense of humor. They insist that you be heavy and serious all the time, because the world is always ending.

The best thing to do in response is shrug your shoulders, laugh harder, and enjoy your life.

Same here. A literal LOL. This is the sort of thing that makes him 'one of us'. This is exactly the sort of thing normal people would do and say to one another, and about themselves.

"OMG, is he serious? This is not the time for jokes. Our democracy is literally on the line and this kind of divisive humor is not what the nation needs at a time like this".

-CNN, probably.

gspencer said...

Plugs Biden and his Jill-inspired "looks" would never do that. Biden's one of those pols who thinks so well of himself but has nothing to back it up. From hair plugs to botox to those obviously mega-buck teeth work to his chic-chic clothes, it all screams PHONY. And then when he opens his mouth . . .

John Borell said...

I watched the rally in real time and laughed out loud at this point.

I'm also struck by how much the crowd loves Trump and how much Trump loves the crowd. There is real, mutual love and respect between them.

Deep State Reformer said...

To be perfectly blunt this is what happens to a country when it selects its leadership using American Idol talent show criteria. The American system of constitutional democracy simply doesn't work any longer. That is the REAL takeaway from all this. No amount of tinkering, or jiggering can save this crazy Jenga tower that is American government. This Idiocracy NEEDS to fall. As any fireman will tell you, at some point you have to realize that there's no saving a burning structure and you just have to let it burn hopefully without too much suffering or bloodshed.

NYTimes headline: "Trump Calls Himself Work of Art"

There is a fine old tradition of the Happy Warrior, a term applied to Al Smith, Hubert Humphrey, and Ronald Reagan.

Trump is a riot 😆

Wrong wrong wrong. The people get what they want. If they choose poorly they suffer. Then they learn to choose well.

There is nothing wrong with our constitutional processes and protections. It is “reformers” like you (or are you a foreign troll assigned to stir up contention?!) who are the real danger in society today in advocating for scrapping the system.

Combover vs. Ducktail… at least for a few more hours.

Anyway…

The rule of Lemnity said...

The side he likes just happens to have the scared ear. Fortunately?

Shooting Trump just gave him fresh material on his favorite subject. Himself. Which is really at the bottom of the hatred against him. Nobody is loved by everyone, nor hated by everyone.

The love and the hatred got personal.

Drago said...

Little known fact: Project 2025 mandates combovers for all males above the age of 35.

Joe Smith said...

There is a shot of Trump right off the golf course where he's holding his hat and his hair is combed straight back. It looks badass.

It would also look great shaved.

Heisenberg!

Mikey NTH said...

American politics a popularity contest?
At least as old as Tippecanoe and Tyler Too - The Log Cabin and Hard Cider campaign.

Joe Smith said...

Found an example of the Trump hair. I think it's a big improvement.

JAORE said...

If the subject comes up again, Trump should say, "Maybe I should ask Slow Joe where he got his hair plugs done."

Kim Jong Un: "Wow, I looked in the mirror when I got out of the shower! I had my chef sign me up for weight watchers and then had him killed, lol."

Bobs said...

Google past campaign signs, Bush/Quayle, Obama/Biden etc and then look at the difference in the type size on the podium. If I’m Vance I’m thinking wtf.

NKP said...

I like it. I think Trump has entered a personally candid "In-your-face-assholes" phase. He's accepted that his enemies could not possibly hate him more, so why not relax and enjoy being himself.

Security issues aside, he seems to feel no need to defend himself.

who-knew said...

That is hilarious.

mikee said...

Were Trump to abandon his long-term combover for a shaved head, perhaps accompanied by dressing in sackcloth and ashes and going barefoot, the TDS patients would declare him an appropriator of the practices of early Franciscan monks, and decry that the cultural theft was naughty. There is just no pleasing some people.

Biden, on the other hand, gets kudos for only showing moderate dementia symptoms on a good day. How's that Covid coming? Is Biden done yet as a candidate?

Narr said...

With the right stylist he could carry off a mullet.

wendybar said...

How can you not laugh?? He is hilarious. A lot funnier than any of the Main Stream late night creeps.

Greg the Class Traitor said...

It's nice to see him having a sense of humor about himself
