Since he said he doesnt care that means he cares? Not like he ever tells the truth.
Trump’s remarks were a far cry from his statement in the immediate aftermath of Biden’s diagnosis.
“Melania and I are saddened to hear about Joe Biden’s recent medical diagnosis,” he wrote. “We extend our warmest and best wishes to Jill and the family, and we wish Joe a fast and successful recovery.”
There’s no way Trump actually wrote that
It’s always so plainly obvious when he
tweetstruthslies something himself and when one of his PR people does.
Trump is a dick. Nothing new.
The sympathetic message was quite obviously the words of someone else,
This is who he is
A vile, cruel piece of shit
Oh, he’s a chicken too. And fat.
With small hands
The smallest
And a weird, tiny dick
Somewhere out there, an unrelated fear-riddled, unwashed, overweight, small-handed, peculiar-membered person is crying.
Well as long as they aren’t also a vile and cruel piece of shit, they’re just fine in my book and I hope their self-confidence discovers the boost it needs in these troubling times.
Otherwise, fuck 'em. Cry until the learning comes.

Of course not, Trump is incapable of feeling empathy about anyone or anything that isn’t him.
The only surprise is him admitting it out loud.
The biggest surprise for me is in how America just stands by and says nothing about it
If Biden had been up there saying that about a political opponent … it would make headlines all over the world.
Trump does it and his behaviour is so normalized that everyone just shrugs their shoulders and moves on.
These idiots in positions of power saying and doing whatever they want aren’t the problem … it’s everyone else who just accept it all.
If Biden had been up there saying that about a political opponent … it would make headlines all over the world.
It’s like the “only Democrats have agency” thing.
When Democrats fuck up we’re like wow they really screwed up, look at these bad choices, they’re fucked up.
When Republicans fuck up we’re just like well yeah that’s what they do. You don’t get mad at the sun for setting or a fire burning. Sometimes we act like they’re just immutable forces of nature instead of human jerks.
We don’t really hold Republicans to any standards.
The difference, as a rule, is Democrats CARE what people say. Look at what happened with Al Franken. If he had been a Republican he would have said “It’s a joke, get over it.” and would be in office today.
They care to a point. Most people want a populist anti-elite approach to politics and messaging but that’s off limits. In reality, what you see is the following dynamic:
- Republicans get their cues by testing various talking points on their base to see what sticks. They respond to the response of their base and double and triple down on the most popular. So in a sense get their policy cues from their base, but I left out one crucial thing: they’re extremely disingenuous about it because the talking points are mostly just culture war tabloid style outrage bait — moral panics filled with lies and half-truths. Still, to the common Republican voter, this seems like a dialogue.
- Democrats could do the same thing but with real stuff. Even appeals to emotion are fine as long as you’re being truthful, because a lot of the time you need to meet people where they are. But Democrats do not talk to their voters at all, they despise them and feel entitled to their vote because hey, look how bad the Republicans are. But then where do they get the policy if they don’t talk to voters? Oh, why, the Republicans of course! They triangulate a “common sense” position between their ivory tower ideas (mostly just “civility”), the Republicans and the (pre-programmed) Republican base. Except for the populism, you see, because that’s “going low” and they’re going to be the adults in the room who “go high”.
I hate this worthless octogenarian club of a party, sometimes more than the Republicans.
(I apologize that this turned into a rant. I do want Dems to win, I just want them to stop being, you know, them.)
That’s not true. He empathizes with all the crooks he’s pardoning.
Cause he’s a crook.
I don’t think that’s empathy, he wants something from them or already got something from them.
How is that surprising? Saying the quiet part out loud has been his entire political existence.
Hard disagree - him saying it out loud seems entirely on brand for him.
Trump is trying to get other people to say it, too. Like the way this post is sort of working in Trump’s favor if that is his desire.
Toxicity is contagious as the song tells us
I find it even more surprising he managed a single complete sentence with absolutely no trace of a lie contained therein…
Hateful and short as that sentence may be. 🤷♂️ 🤡
In exceptional cases a sentence that is hateful enough does not have to contain any lie.

Trump cut the medical benefits to his own nephew.
Pretty sure he didn’t want to fuck his nephew.
I’m pretty sure Trump doesn’t want to fuck Biden either
This is the worst thing I’ve seen all week.
I love it.
What have you done
Just his daughter
Well, the one whose name he can actually remember
Well of course he doesn’t - he’s a psychopath. A complete lack of concern for others is one of his defining characteristics.
And even beyond that, Biden’s a special case.
Another aspect of Trump’s mental illness is his entirely self-absorbed conception of reality. For instance, he wanted to win in 2020; and he believes he deserved to win in 2020, therefore, from his delusional point of view, the only possible reality is that he did win, but somebody stole it from him.
And that somebody is Biden, and since another aspect of his mental illness is to childishly cling to grudges over perceived wrongs, he has it in for Biden specifically.
I always remember that prophetic quote from some time between 2016 and 2019: “He will not go willingly”.
It was either Mary Trump or Tony Schwartz; they both said things to that effect.
Such class. Such compassion. What presidential behavior, from a true leader.
And if you don’t think that’s snark, I’ve got these genuine imitation gold coins with my face on them, only $199.99.
Worst thing, the world is getting used to this. Soon (some) people will think that’s just how politics works. Partial imitations are popping up everywhere.
Same
It’s never the one who deserves getting ass cancer…
I hope all figures who support genocide and war also get aggressive cancer.
I was about to say this is something Lemmings and Trump can agree on, and here you are!
Well most ML are maga anyway.
He talks like a simpleton and they think this is better than Biden
Royl Cohn taught him well
That is cold. I wouldn’t think that even about my enemies.

I do wish a lot of terrible things but once something is real, I usually don’t enjoy it.
You don’t have to enjoy it. But the world would be objectively better off without that piece of shit.
