Trump's Second Term

[Norman Alexander]

All those images of Trump speech moments... If you check the faces in the background, they seem to be completely different people from one picture to the next a lot of the time. Like he is at a number of different locations. That, or they keep changing the folks sitting behind him while he talks, presumably to stop them retching while on camera? For example, there's one lady just on his right in the "healthcare" image who looks very, VERY sad, like she needs to head to the bathroom immediately...

Probably downwind.

AI, or as Sec. Linda McMahon would say A1 generated.

Going by what is page 2946 for me, looks to me like it was simply snippets of two separate appearances. Of particular note, though, the ones with the Trump Accounts advertisement in the top right of the picture look suspiciously like the people there were simply voluntold to be there, given the pervasive and distinct lack of enthusiasm that seems to be on display in the pictures. I suppose watching the videos might change my mind, but the thought of listening to Trump's "I'm going to make you so dumb" rantings makes it just not worth any effort to verify further.

Hopefully, the telephoto angle means the audience behind are out of his blast radius.

I'm sure the families are happy about the politicizaton of their losses. Classless.

Lebanon used to be a big tourist destination. It's where the 'Jet Set' used to hang out. Big swanky beachfront hotels.

As was Iran prior to the Revolution (and the US prior to this administration).

Recently a female reporter asked him about the Iran war and if he's just gonna bomb until they say "we quit." He asked her if she knew something he didn't and I thought yeah, probably quite a lot.

Those reporters really need to start answering such questions. "I think that describes everyone", or "well I know how tariffs work"... the possibilities for this one are endless.

But the response to "who are you with?" should only ever be "that's irrelevant, please answer the question".

No, I was being sarcastic. I know who he meant because I now understand the extent of his senior moments. It's all of them. Speaking of:

No, just if you're up there.

Yeah it's the native Americans who want Rushmore taken down. The mountain is a sacred site to the Lakota and was illegally taken off them.

Speaking of which, I see the Trump-infected DOT has declared bicycle lanes "DEI" because real men don't pedal!

Can't happen. You need to have the capacity to feel emotion to cry.

Nah, narcissists will cry when they aren't getting their way

Taylor Farms has poured money into Republican campaigns—and Trump himself—and lobbied hard against food safety rules. That’s what Republicans mean when they talk about “deregulation:” businesses do whatever they want, Republicans get rich, and YOU? Well, you get 11,500 (and counting)...
