“But remember, I’m the only one who took the test. You know, the aptitude test or whatever the hell they call it. I took it— when I did— every time I do a physical— I take a mental test. And I’ve aced it. WHERE’S MY DOCTOR? Is he around, I travel with more doctors than any human. If people get sick in the audience, they don’t— do— they leave him alone. You know what they call him? Collateral damage. If that person right over there, he looks like shit actually. He looks— he looks like he’s ready to have a heart attack. If he actually had a heart attack, you know what they would do? They would leave him alone.” 

The stupid shit thinks he’s been taking an ‘aptitude’ test. He’s not — it’s a brain damage test. And if you’re being asked to take one every time you have a checkup, it’s because your doctor has an excellent reason to suspect you have brain damage.

Don’t you love the way Donny boasts about acing his dementia test, and then careens wildly into the kind of incoherent anecdote that only a dementia sufferer would tell? Way to connect with your audience, you rotting dumbfuck. People can’t afford food. They can’t afford housing. They can’t afford basic goods and services.

Above all, no one can afford healthcare — and this out-of-touch nincompoop is bragging about how he has all the doctors in the world, and you don’t. What in the actual fuck?

    I do hope any doctor with that much contempt for their Hippocratic oath for a paycheck like this would switfly lose their license to practice if that happened.

    Really connecting with his base just before the midterms.

    They love it when he tells them he doesn’t give a fuck about them, and thinks they’re stupid.

    No /s. They really do seem to love it.

    The context ya’ll’re missing is that this electorate thinks the country is crowded and that cruelty is meant to drive away or kill the excess population because, in their view, the country would be better off if there were less people competing for resources.

    To be fair, if Trump travels with doctors, he likely means RFK, and I wouldn’t want RFK to treat me either.

    Y’all really need to move beyond pointing at his wrongs and expecting things to change. Enough people are already convinced he is wrong and it isn’t changing. Nobody who should be fixing this is doing what their role in society exists to do, they are simply not doing their jobs and it’s working for them. Which means different people in different roles need to do what isn’t their role, to fix it. I bet you don’t think that’s you. You don’t want it to be you. You’re not in a position to fix it, afterall…yet that’s exactly who needs to try. Try. Something. Put effort and energy toward change at the nearest point of failure. If you’re not close enough to one, move yourself closer until you are. Guaranteed you won’t be the only one there. Aren’t we hearing about everyone suffering from isolation and loneliness right now? Find friends in those spaces where fixing this shit starts and fix it together, you have common cause and clearly aligned objectives. Find community, friends, a future and make meaningful improvements to the world. All in one move. But you have to move.
