idk I think the riffing and the fact that his stream of consciousness is just leaking out does in fact make him extremely easy to tune-in to while perfectly memorized and delivered speeches about grand visions only work on some people and in some contexts.

From my experience if you don't think that people listen to a lot more of Trump talking, and take in a lot more of it, as compared to Obama or Bush you're livin' in a different world. I'm actually a little shocked this is a point of contention except maybe that he's the bloo bloo bad man and obama is the good good killer of the brown people

It's like saying the beatles are trashy thoughtless noise as compared to rachmaninoff and yet somehow everyone loving knows a beatles song what do you make of that

yeah im sure lots of people just LOVE listening to trump going off about how a memorandum of understanding is not a real thing. hes loving painful to listen to if you are not an absolute, complete moron, and thats in the context of a rally wheres hes drawing energy from a crowd. in a presidential setting its like a watching a bored spoiled toddler, its just awful

obamas SOTUs had higher ratings and viewers than trumps btw

brb, gonna check for new hilarity in the basta toxx thread

he's a compelling character but in no way presidential nominee material. trump hasn't changed the standard of what we'll accept as a candidate but the discourse has (d)evolved to the point where a guy like trump (or specifically trump) is acceptable. it's still up to a candidate individually to prove they have what the public will accept or tolerate and basta never had it- not well known enough

plus between an american and non-american surname the american sounding one will usually prevail, italian man in america has no chance- people want bland and familiar not risky and foreign (and that includes italians, polish, non WASPs in general)

obviously this isn't good or what I want or what I determine my policies on but ethnic bias is absolutely a thing even between two white guys

One of my favorite conspiracy theories I've read is that just as GHWB killed JFK, GWB had a hand in killing JFK Jr. :tinfoil:

Also my uncle (who WORKS at Nintendo btw) once told me Joe Kennedy died over the Atlantic transporting the "third nuke" to Germany

that officer was awarded a $38k settlement for suffering from UC Davis

they also shelled out $1m to the 30 pepper spray victims

that means the officer got almost $5k more than each of the people he pepper sprayed
