This is actually so funny it’s hard to believe it’s real. He’s like a sitcom character

It's like "oh fuck I forgot I had a test today and forgot to study, time to cram and hope I can BS my way through the essay section".

Or when you're in fifth grade and you have to write a book report so you just read the back of the book and wing it.

Everytime I think humanity can't be that stupid, someone posts another thing Trump did that is so real and so stupid... I lose a little more hope we may actually survive the next 100 years.

Trump makes me actually believe the existence of some of the incredibly dumb shit humans have done in recorded in history.

u/AtariAlchemist 15d ago

Trump is like those e-mail scams that have intentional spelling errors and leaps of logic to funnel out people that are too smart to fall for it.

People who believe in anything he says are literally the dumbest of the dumb, or so delusional that they bend over backwards to justify every word out of his mouth.

u/--NTW-- 15d ago

Except none of the mistakes were intentional, and none of the leaps done ironically. He is just as much a bumbling moron as those who sing his praises.

I had a lot more faith in humanity as a whole before 45. Now I’m sure most humans are still actually just cavemen.

The best thing we can say about Trump is that he was the source of so much great comedy for four years.

I used to think things would get worse until some serious shit went down and then people would get their act together. Like WWII. Sure, that was terrible but humanity made giant leaps forward technologically after that, quality of life improved, nations moved together, a lot of the political extremism actually died down. I thought we "need" a global tragedy. It would suck but turn out good in the end.

Then covid happened and I finally lost all faith in humanity.

u/Due_Cardiologist5357 15d ago

Yes. This cult that got into our mainstream... well the republican'ts and the covid seem like deadly viruses. Both attacking people, killing people, and these two viruses seem to feed off each other.

u/Unstoffe 15d ago

I think we're doomed. Hope I'm wrong, but maybe it's the bear's turn.

u/hexydes 15d ago

Not everyone is that stupid. Over half the country voted for Biden, and so that shows not everyone is that stupid.

...but then again, Donald Trump got just slightly less than half the vote. So guess what that means?

In conclusion, I give us just slightly better odds than 50% to make it through the next century.

u/CopperSavant 15d ago

I'll take those over my odds! We need to become hobbits.

Trump is a Fermi Paradox.

The list really was bottomless. You could do a "mind-bogglingly stupid thing Trump said"-a-day calendar, with just the really good ones, no duds, and still have plenty left over.

I mean, jesus christ - the sharpie on a hurricane map to settle a feud with the national weather service? four seasons total landscaping? the list just goes on and on.

u/CopperSavant 15d ago

It would be funny... If it wasn't from our highest elected office.

u/IRedditok 15d ago

Funny thing is Trump never said it. People are just dumb and will believe what “their” people tell them.

didnt say what?

"So, I’m going to ask Bill a question that probably some of you are thinking of if you’re totally into that world, which I find to be very interesting. So, supposing when we hit the body with a tremendous, whether it’s ultraviolet or just very powerful light, and I think you said that hasn’t been checked, but you’re going to test it. And then I said supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way. And I think you said you’re going to test that too. Sounds interesting. And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in a minute, one minute. And is there a way we can do something like that by injection inside or almost a cleaning? Because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs, so it’d be interesting to check that, so that you’re going to have to use medical doctors with, but it sounds interesting to me. So, we’ll see, but the whole concept of the light, the way it kills it in one minute. That’s pretty powerful."

That?

Tl;dr?

It’s a long thing to read. Was he misquoted and in that case can you post the corrected one, or is there no quote at all?

u/NegligentLawnmowcide 15d ago

I ctrl+F'd to looking for "powerful" to

Donald Trump: 29:46 A question that probably some of you are thinking of if you’re totally into that world, which I find to be very interesting.

seems about the same but there does seem to be some discrepancies at first glance.

So as someone who has worked in transcription for years and specifically transcribed for Rev in the past, most services do usually transcribe in "clean verbatim" which means that verbal tics, ums and ahs, repetition and false starts are often cleaned up by the person who watches/listens to the audio and types it out. That, and different transcribers hearing slightly different things (for example, "supposedly" vs "suppose when") can account for these differences. This is not transcribed through voice recognition software, there's a lot of human error that can go into it.

That’s your problem not mine, most everything he said was misquoted and taken out of context by bias reporters because people would rather run with that than taking the time to read, but you already know this.

4

u/myncknm 15d ago

Yeah I watched/read the whole thing and it sounded equally stupid.

3

u/perrd 15d ago

What was misquoted and what context was missing?

u/GoodAtExplaining 15d ago

Hey, thanks for the source, it's an hour long, though. Can you help me understand more?

...

Your problem not mine, people are biased you suck

uh... K.

Bless you heart. There's video of it.

u/IRedditok 15d ago

You can bless your own heart, watch the full video, not the edited version.

u/kerc 15d ago

Edited? Are you okay?

u/IRedditok 15d ago

Are you ok? Maybe stop replying to people like they’re children? Huh buddy? Come on man.

u/kerc 15d ago

You can't get an adult response to a childish, ignorant comment like yours.
