There are only a couple of possibilities here: 1) Donald Trump thinks people actually believe him and in all fairness, the MAGAs probably do. They know nothing about how government works. 2) Trump honestly believes what he’s saying. 3) Trump has no idea where fantasy ends and reality begins, so it doesn’t matter what he believes or not. He’s too far gone. As always, put out the Bat Signal for niece, Mary. Maybe she’s got a handle on this.
Mark Levin of Fox News recently did an interview with Trump. He aired some clips last week and this week as well.
They’re all ludicrous, but I particularly like this NATO one.

In no world, in no time in history did that happen. But, again, Trump is banking on people not knowing how NATO works, like he banked on people not knowing how tariffs worked. In both instances, only Diligent Donnie, the single and only president who would actually president this country, unlike the others who were merely president in name, confronted deadbeats and boy, did they got shook fast, and the money came pouring into the treasury. Right.
And there’s more where that came from.

The bottom clip is great. Pure megalomania. He and he alone made the Olympics sell out.

I think the magic of Trump is, it doesn’t matter if you don’t know what you’re talking about as long as you don’t know that you don’t know what you’re talking about. As long as you think you know what you’re talking about and you are tone deaf to all information to the contrary, then it really doesn’t matter. Because you will sound like you know what you’re talking about and that’s all that matters. Remember, this is television. For sure, that’s all that matters, not what was right or wrong but what sounded okay.
Television was originally hailed as a wonderful medium that would record reality, as it took place. What wasn’t known at the time is that television itself would become the reality. And that’s the world in which we live and that’s the world that made it possible for Donald Trump to become president. He sounds okay on TV. Sorta, Because even by that standard, he can’t hold up too well for too long.
A man who stands for nothing will fall for anything.
Malcolm X
R.I.P
I have heard that quote. I didn’t know it was Malcolm X. Thank you.
Don’t worry that you did not associate those words with Malcolm X. I have no doubt that he said those words, although I did not know he had said them until Scott Samuel Jackson quoted him. I then researched the quote. I found a number of sources attributing that quote to Malcolm X. One source dated it on February 21, 1965. However, I researched further, and I found perhaps a score of quotes similar to this version from other people dating back to 1926. One source said the original author was anonymous, but another source quoted the published materials in which some version of this quote appeared. Here is a link to that site:

Davy Crockett said that …..
X was a wise man.
It is imperative that his entire genetic line be neutralised at once. No effort must be spared in this, for it is written. Feed him to the pigs still screaming. I want the sound for my ringtone.
I appreciate your obvious comedy. Not to be a buzz kill, but we have to watch out for going over the line here. Don’t advocate violence.
The idiot can’t even get his facts straight. Germany did NOT ‘surrender to the Russians’. It surrendered to the United Nations. The sequence was:
29th April Caserta, surrender of German forces Italy and Western Austria to Field Marshal Alexander (British)
4th May Lüneburg Heath, surrender of German forces North West Germany, Denmark, Netherlands and Schleswig-Holstein to Field Marshal Montgomery (British)
5th May Haar, surrender of German forces in Bavaria and Southern Germany to General Devers (US)
7th May Steyr, surrender of German forces in Upper Austria to General Wyman
8th May Berlin, total surrender of Germany to Air Chief Marshal Tedder and Marshal Zhukov (General Spaatz (US) and General de Tassigny (French) as witnesses)
Never mind sending a white flag – someone should send him a white feather
Diapers may or may not know how to tie his own shoes. It’s is safely assumed he does not know ANY f**king history.
fox is so Bates hotel, it is hard to tell who is really speaking. Murdoch, the lawyers, trump, the audience. Which one ends up in the dress with the knife?
A couple of things that get me to change the channel-
those sh1tty cadillac commercials
those sh1tty dodge ram commercials
the sound of that bleached blonde trailer park skank from georgia
fat @ss and his loaded diapers wearing that cheap, no class suit.
is that the only suit the “billionaire rapist” owns?
I think it’s a uniform that was chosen for him in 2016. Don’t want to look so rich that you intimidate the MAGA voters.
There is no bottom to him. Just when you think you’ve heard his narcissism in full, he pulls more crap out of his red cap. It truly does not matter to him if he knows what he’s talking about, as long as he can convince himself and his cult of deplorable idiots that he knows what he’s talking about.
Never ceases to amaze me, and his accordion hands go wider and wider as he brags about how great he thinks he is. What a sad sack. Truly deranged.
