He can't stop talking about Biden even though he's not his opponent anymore.

maybe he forgot. he's quite old, you know...

It's more so that now he's trying to walk back the months of harping on age and mental fitness, since now he's the one that those claims hurt.

There's very few people trump could beat, and he's mad his opponent is no longer one of them

I think the fact that Biden "won" by not playing haunts him. I think he's genuinely incapable of understanding that there's more to the world than "winning" and "losing".

For every word that comes out of Trump's mouth, I feel like our national IQ average drops half a point.

Imagine getting frozen in like 2012 and waking up in 2024.

"Put me back in and set it to hot. Maybe it'll go backwards, maybe it won't. Either way, I'm not staying here"

Jeez. That'd be the worst culture shock since Edison electrocuted that poor elephant.

/RIP, Topsy

topsy was not electrocuted by edison, it is one of the urban legends that will probably never die.

it is still sad story and every time i am hearing it i wish i could personally electrocute few of those fuckers who tortured her through her life.

I appreciate you bringing that up because I had also read the inaccurate version of that story before.

I do not appreciate you taking away my favorite reason to hate Edison, but I'll get over it.

That would be bad. Now imagine say 1995 and then waking. "What the hell happened, things were going great!"

"Donald Trump? The guy from Home Alone 2?!"

"That must have been amusing! He's know for being an asshole, but he seems like a harmless clown."

"Wrapped in the American flag and carrying a cross. It Happened Here. God damn it, America."

Here's the take I like : The Mayans were right and the world did end in 2012. What we're seeing now is a prolonged death rattle.

Now keep in mind Trump is 95% of what we foreigners see about America. The damage he has done in your international perception is immense.

It’s because they have countless statements from Trump from 2020 saying Biden was too old, and now Trump is the same age…. Great fodder for attack ads. “Biden is old, many people are saying it.” “I’m Kamala Harris and I approve this message, Trump is the same age as Biden 2020.

Trump picking who's old like Goldilocks with porridge.

81 > really old, too old. but actually not too old. Biden at 81 though, specifically is too old

60 > definitely still old, thought she was younger, still old for a woman and very radical.

78 > young, spry, lively, the best. Not old.

60 > definitely still old, thought she was younger, still old for a woman and very radical.

Don't forget "Not my type"

I read that as trump sobbing: Come back Biden! I was winning come baaaaack 😭

Maybe Biden was too old, probably so in my opinion.

Trump is definitely too old— as well as the litany of other horse shit wrong with him.

Not the least of which is being a convicted creepy, weird, rapey felon; and selling state secrets to unwashed assholes who want to destroy the West.

Yes, both Drump and Biden are old. The big difference is that Biden is still both wise and street smart. Drump always was and always will be neither, he's just weird.

“But clearly I am” he muttered in an elusive moment of clarity and honesty, “not due to my age, but my inability to change a lifetime of petty, racist and profoundly insecure personality traits which despite inexplicably bringing me unearned wealth and fame give me no joy and leave me incapable of finding the love and self respect that will forever elude me” he added, whining as is his nature to do.

Dementia Don the racist rapist that can't complete a coherent sentence forgot how old he is. It's sad, pathetic really. He needs to drop out, he's just too old and the dementia is progressing better than his polling.

Being in these campaign strategy meetings must be absolutely wild…

You assume he shows up

Him being there or not doesn't make it inaccurate.

Beside Project 2025 and everything fascist he says and clings to to get elected so he doesn't have to face judgement, you've got got to admit that sometimes he is hilarious. Unintentionally mind you, but still so funny.

Like this could have been an Onion headline or a sketch about how his whole campaign was 'Biden old' and now he's caught with his pants down when Biden is no longer on the ticket. Next up he's gonna claim Biden faked being demented so he could ruin Donalds campaign by dropping out. It's all a conspiracy, folks...

I'd be dumbstruck if Kamala loses this at this point. It's astounding to see how a campaign could swing so hard after such a fumbled debate and a literal assassination attempt.

Donald had a global nonpartisan crisis last election year and turned it into a wedge issue. He is just completely unfit for any leadership whatsoever.

The people that wanted to bury their heads in the sand and treated the people calling for Biden to drop out like shit should maybe do some reflection, because it was obvious as hell that something needed to change. There was no path forward that way, and Biden should get a medal for swallowing his pride and doing the right thing.

It seems as though Felon Drink Bleach is moving the goalpost back a certain distance.

I wonder how Biden feels about the only people who want to see him run are racist.

If he understood how to do basic math he'd know that when Biden was elected he was about the same age as Trump is now. But common sense was never the objective here even if he could do basic math.

Lmao someone crosspost to nottheonion

Need a moratorium on any headline with the words “Trump says”

That’s the arena band equivalent of, “Are you ready to rock?!?”
