    I agree. He looks like a man who took too many drugs, ate too much junk, and then died on his bathroom floor mid-shit.

    It’s so weird that this is the statement that makes some of his supporters question his sanity or ability to form and communicate coherent thoughts…I would say there’s a trail of breadcrumbs of much more damning statements going back as far as you’re willing to look, but it’s more like a trail of roach-infested bakeries.

    If saying he looks like Elvis is damaging to him when trying to overthrow the country didn’t, that will be weird.

      It is entirely within expectations of the fucked up timeline we’ve found ourselves in, though.

      Call for treason and insurrection? Uproarious Cheering.

      Fuck children? Endless defense and excuses (and cheering)

      Wants to fuck his own daughter? “Well hell yeah, I’d fuck my daughter too if she looked like Ivanka!” - Disturbing number of republicans when looking at a pre-teen picture of her.

      But say you look like Elvis? Oh my god, thats just so inhuman and so far fetched.

        Politics works under WWE rules now. Trump is the heel they like. As long he’s doing fucked up shit to the face characters, they keep on cheering.

        Him trying to be a face character is bad because people only like him for being the heel.

      Not really. His followers revere him because they believe his is so strong. Pretty much the only strategy that can work against him is to make them believe he is failing or is becoming a joke. When they become embarrassed about him.

    No fucking shit he’s demented. Seriously, this is the first time we are seeing this in a headline? And it’s from rawstory, and it’s in quotes?!

    Goddamn, corporate news media - do your fucking goddamned jobs and call it like it is - YES he’s got dementia. He’s also a rapist and a convicted fraud if you want to really get down with the trüfax instead of the weak ass bullshit you normally run to goose this pathetic horserace as per your republiQan owners’ instructions.

    Oh yeah and he orchestrated a failed coup to stay in power that got some people killed. Dunno if you knew that or not based on how you talk about him and what he does. I’d be happy to direct you to ALL THE GODDAMNED PROOF if you need, just hit me up there. Corporate news media. You utter shitbags. This entire trump fiasco - all of it - is absolutely your fault. You can’t be destroyed fast enough.

    “OMFG [Ivanka Trump where the hell are you?!?!?!? Politics aside do something FFS,” the user, Jil, wrote.

    Sounds like she is doing something. She’s avoiding her father’s clusterfuck now that she and her husband got their multi-billion dollar Saudi deal and don’t need him.

        So Trump is zombie Elvis with a fake tan and a comically bad comb-over…

        Still nowhere near as crazy as many of the Qanon consist theories over heard

      I was gonna say, I can see a mild resemblance to the Elvis before he died, but even then Trump is a lifelong 4 or 5 and fat Elvis was still an 8.

    The man is a narcissist, and constantly compares himself to other, much more successful people. He will hint at it if the person is controversial or outright state it if benign.

    He’d like to be seen as intelligent as an MIT professor, as honest as Lincoln, as famous as the Mona Lisa, as dangerous as Al Capone, as persecuted as Mandela.

    He’d none of these things, but he wants to plant that association in your head. It’s transparent and a consistent core of his disorder.

    If you want to destroy him, double-down on these delusions.

    Why stop at Elvis? Get him talking about his theory on aliens, ask him to compare himself to Jesus and whether he’d do a better job of spreading Christianity than the big man himself, get him to discuss how to split Gaza to make everyone happy, ask how a successful coup of the whitehouse would look like, maybe even ask if Rosa Parks was being reasonable by not getting up out of her seat.

    You don’t destroy people like this by pointing out how stupid they are, because those die-hard followers will still worship him if he answers all the above. Where he’ll be destroyed is in having those on the fence go from “he’s a bit crazy, but he’ll do something, so I’ll vote for him” to “he’s fucking nuts, he’ll do something crazy, so I’ll vote for Biden”.

      Have you seen his, ahem, retruth of the video ‘and God created Trump’ video? He’s literally comparing himself to Jesus. And his followers went wild!

    With each passing day we march further and further into “no reasonable, rational person would vote for that man” territory.

    How fucking brain damaged is this country?

    Can we dig up Elvis and do a side by side comparison? He’s probably right, but I don’t suppose fat Elvis is fat anymore.

    The mistake here is thinking that his supporters will care, if they even hear about it.

    They won’t.

    As long as he is hurting the right people, they will excuse anything.
