I’m with you, it seemed still sufficiently performative to be really intended to get his base in on the pressure to go after his personal enemies.

Basically, the Biden administration economy was just along for the wild ride of post pandemic and Russian war nonsense, both the ups and downs.

Generally speaking I don’t believe in the usual “the economy is whatever the president makes if it”, though Trump’s policies are unusually terrible economically, so I guess he’s convinced me that presidents can be mostly responsible for economy, at least a bad one.

Sure, must have nothing at all to do with massive tariffs on food and construction supplies and arresting a lot of the food and construction workers.

No, you see he didn’t verbatim say the words, he learned from watching sketchy mob shows that no one can blame him if he avoids the specifics and just says “the hard way” and that they’ll “find some work to do”.

Grading on a curve, sadly he was much better than a lot of the other right wing personalities.

He at least let them have a mic even in his own forum, which is more than you can say for most right wingers.

he’ll be the oldest president in history upon leaving office.

That assumes he makes it 3 years. I’m not so sure that his health will hold out that long.

I read it as sarcastic, that these are the same guys that say “blue no matter who” when it’s their guy, but the second it isn’t, suddenly they actively undermine the primary winners of"their" party.

Given how NYC elections and sentiment around Trump even before he ran for president, it seems an interesting strategy to think affinity with Trump would be an asset with that crowd.

Even in many areas where Trump is actually popular, candidates that received an explicit endorsement from Trump still failed. It’s not even much of an asset there. In NYC one would think it’s pretty much poison to a campaign.

It’s a busy era for “Not The Onion”.

Pretty much this, when people with his level of narcissism ‘find god’ it’s always with a self-affirmation bent, that God must want whatever he wants, because he is the best and obviously whatever he wants is, by definition, right.

If anything, a person might conclude they’ve been too lenient somehow and they need to double down on “their vision” before it’s too late.

No no, he would want to keep Ivanka for himself… Though maybe she’s too old for him by now…

Did anyone say alive?

Trump Pyramid where he gets buried with his jet…

the most prominent supporters tend to be rightwing cranks,

Right now, the most ardent term limit hopes are against Trump. I also see people here all the time clamoring for Congressional term limits, either to get some of the GOP out or to make more room for progressive candidates on the Democrat side. Without term limits things can get too stagnant.

Even if people get to be as perfectly healthy at 90 as they were at 30, without term limits you could have some pretty bad situations with the same politicians in the same offices for decades and decades. Even with term limits there’s plenty of political positions across the municipal, district, state, federal levels to move between to build a very long and useful political career.

Well there’s age limits v. term limits.

I think term limits are definitely reasonable, regardless of age. We don’t need one person in a specific government role indefinitely.

Age limits, I’m kind of inclined to agree that would be hard to pin down. Frankly 73 is a bit young in my experience to be as far gone as John Kennedy seemed to be. Certainly it drops off and drops off suddenly at some point for people, but you do have people into their 90s with their cognition intact. Bernie Sanders is in his 80s and he seems mentally still there.

I’ve known people in that age that are mentally intact. There’s been a few celebrities that seem intact even into their 90s like Dick Van Dyke or Betty White. There was a guy at worked I only communicated with by text and assumed he was my age as we worked on an issue. Turned out he was 84. It was announced that he was leaving and I assumed he was going to retire, but no, he got a job elsewhere for a raise…

Certainly that video featured a man far more deteriorated than most anyone I’ve known in their 70s.

Problem is mostly the voters voting for a letter (R or D) and frequently not even paying attention to the specific person.

Stuff that’s coming on is not believable… well at least he’s telling one truth in that video

What are you doing that makes you so suspicious? Trenchcoat and shades?
