This is MAGA in a nutshell.

When Trump dies, his grave will make the best toilet ever.

If they give his corpse an enema, they'll be able to bury him in a matchbox.

Donny's just sad he'd never be able to get someone to spend 77 years with him.

Where's Melania?

I doubt most people can stand to spend 7 minutes with him.

I forgot about Reince Priebus.

Why are all the people he works with so stereotypically evil?

77 years is a lot of mooches.

Also, I think you mean Melanie

A micromooch is known as a stormy and it's based on how long he lasted inside her.

Please don't make your follow lemmings sick.

Sorry, you have to suffer what escapes my brain. I don't make the rules, I just enforce them.

A micromooch is known as a stormy and it’s based on how long he lasted inside her.

I didn't think they were able to measure time periods that short.

It's possible, but only with the most precise of measuring devices.

The 'Melanie' story is new to me.

Keeping up with all of Trump's idiot stories is beyond any one person's capacity

I know it's petty, but dear God, the man can't even spell his own wife's name correctly.

It's not petty, imho. He'd lose his mind if he were introduced as 'Ronald.'

I think it’s far worse than this. I don’t think there’s anything in the world that could bring him happiness. His pathology will not allow for it.

You know the way that the love of your family, or love for your family, brings you happiness? Yeah, that doesn’t work for him. His parents fucked him up real good.

He is the poster child for the end product of spoilt child with the ultimate helicopter parent.

She passed away this afternoon :/

Next campaign speech: "President Carter's wife... Rosalynn. She died, folks. She died. I never liked her! I like first ladies that don't die like my wife Melania."

Mmm yes, let’s kick one of the last honest politicians in existence while he’s down. That’ll soften your horrific image, big boy.

What’s wonderful is that the next few days are going to be full of coverage of the scandal-free Carter presidency, Carter marriage, and Carter family.

Unfortunately, I expect it to be full of coverage of Trump shitting all over Carter's presidency, marriage, and family. Trump has never passed up the opportunity to get one last kick in on someone who's literally on their death bed.

Republicans rat fucked Carter with Iran Contra. It's Republicans in a nutshell. They have no floor. Can always go lower.

Republicans played with the lives of hostages for political gain. They prolonged the Vietnam war for political gain. They are almost always on the wrong side of history.

I'm going to read Trump's obituary with champagne.

I hope he chokes on a cheeseburger.

or dies of a stroke taking a shit. I hope they find him with his ass in the air.

It's a party of hatred. When he got elected after mocking that camera man for having a disability, it should have been clear for everyone what the republican party stood for.

As the parent of a special needs child I was completely aghast about that. Doesn't even make sense because they want people to "pull their own weight" (which is just what that person was doing)!

It doesn't need to make sense. They only have hatred and anger.

I can't wait to hear what offensive shit this asshole will say now that she's died.

Trump makes cavemen look highly civilized.

Lack of technology =/= lack of sophistication.

And hominids were unlikely to use caves as shelters for an extended period of time without working the stone.

Conservatives delight in the suffering and misery of others. This is simply who they are at their core. It is not a trait they can change. They can supress the public expression of this trait when it serves them, but deep inside, they thrive on the knowledge that a vulnerable person is suffering.

Be cautious in your dealings with conservatives. They do not value the lives of people or animals the way a normal person does.

Jesus bud. The powers that be in the Republican party and a conservative are two different things.

Yeah! The first is the one doing the bad stuff, and the second are the ones voting them into power!

There are such a thing as conservatives that don't vote republican.

Stuff like this is why I consider republicans to be worthless filth.

Trump, criticizing Biden at a rally in Fort Dodge, Iowa, told a crowd of supporters that “the happiest person anywhere in this country right now is Jimmy Carter because his administration looked brilliant compared to these clowns.”

“Compared to Biden, Jimmy Carter was a brilliant, brilliant president,” Trump said.

Which is really interesting since Jimmy Carter's presidency was one of the most competent we've had in history. The only reason anybody shits on it is because of the smear job the republicans and the Reagan campaign did on it.

I think the failed hostage rescue really fucked him up. And also the “malaise” speech — an indictment on the American people for not heeding the warning of a wise and prescient man.

That speech truly hurt him. The aborted rescue was at the very end and jacked up his legacy for decades.

And about 2-minutes after Reagan took office, we got the hostages back. So now Carter looked weak and Reagan strong.

I was just an elementary school kid, but those were my impressions at the time.

That scumbag will say anything to get attention. The filthier the better, and it seems filth is all he's got left.

You'd punish a six year old who acted this way.

What an absolute skid mark. He's the shid mark to the dirtiest underwear possible. Piss stains and all.

And people want this fucking dirtbag to run our country.

No, they want him to bully the people they hate.

It's just disgusting how there's no low too low for him. What a disgrace he is.

I'd expect better behavior from a shit-flinging orangutan at the zoo, with that person, it's just par for the course.

Oh boy. US politics is like some B-class comedy.

I think you're being generous. It's a tragedy that occasionally dips into unintentional hilarity.

For Canadians it's basically been a never ending reality show since 2001. Very entertaining material, you keep thinking they can't top last season but then they do.

We already knew he was toxic waste, we didn't need him to remind us.

I mean, it wasn't about his wife. Trump probably didn't even know she died. Besides, he was making fun of Biden in that quote, not Carter, and certainly not Carter's wife.

He's making fun of both of them. Basically saying that Carter was shit but he looks great compared to biden.

Okay. I don't see what's wrong with that. I find it hard to believe trump targeted him because of his wife's condition, and I don't see why having a sick wife should make you not valid for your regularly scheduled trump insults.

how is that an insult. He called jimmy carter brilliant.

How ridiculous. No he didn't.

Trump, criticizing Biden at a rally in Fort Dodge, Iowa, told a crowd of supporters that “the happiest person anywhere in this country right now is Jimmy Carter because his administration looked brilliant compared to these clowns.

Compared to Biden, Jimmy Carter was a brilliant, brilliant president,” Trump said.

If I said, "compared to a slug, you're a genius," I'm not calling you a genius.

Horseshit. We all know exactly what the insinuation is. "We all thought Jimmy Carter was an idiot! Well he looks like Einstein compared to Brandon!"

Don't carry water for that disgusting, classless fuck.

I dont think that was the implication. We dont need to make up shit to hate about trump but this makes us look bad.

That's EXACTLY the fucking implication. Don't treat us like morons.

You might be right I dont think so

You seem to have an issue comprehending context.

It was absolutely an obvious insult meant to insult Biden even more.

He made it about Biden before even mentioning Carter. It was never about Carter. Carter was just the last single term Democrat, and often seen as an ineffectual president. Especially from Reagan-era conservatives who are Trumps biggest supporters.

You’re either a shill or this is your first day on Earth.

I'm not sure if you are aware of this, but Republicans have been denigrating and bashing on Jimmy Carter for decades. Mostly because there were problems with the economy at the time that caused oil prices to skyrocket. He was an otherwise effective and capable leader, but he was always the butt of every Republican joke for years... "at least X isn't as bad as Carter!" they would say. So to compare Carter to Biden and say he looked brilliant compared to him is a backhanded insult. Not even thinly veiled at this point. He's insulting two presidents at once.

Well, they bash because that's what they do. Like a puppy peeing on the rug.

Oil prices spiking were a bonanza for oil profits in reality. They just used them as a cudgel.
