for every doxx Trump commits, a Trump family member phone number should be released. in order of:

Ivanka
jared
Jr.
grandkids
(no one cares about eric, not even trump)

u/Reasonable-Access-68 13h ago

The fact that you said nobody cares about Eric, then didn't even list Tiffany, made this even funnier.

Nowadays everybody wanna talk, like they got something to say…

u/pizzacatstattoos 8h ago

But diarrhea come out when Trumps moves his lips, it's just a bunch of gibberish.

u/account312 10h ago

Trump should get doxxed so that everyone can call him and ask to talk to Obama.

Eric would just be happy for the attention.

Cue time-lapse of him sitting there for days with an expectant smile on his face as hia phone (which is just a wood block with numbers drawn on it) remains silent.

Skibidi Toilet. Specifically, the RC Walmart one.

Poor Tiffany.

u/AlexHimself California 9h ago

A few of them have already leaked in that 2024 NPD breach. Trump himself and Don Jr at least are in it with cell phones. I've been tempted to shoot them texts but I don't want them coming after me directly lol.

u/mountainwocky Massachusetts 11h ago

Even telemarketers don’t call Eric.

u/Teigh99 12h ago

Ughhhh, I can't stand Lara. I wish Trump would go back to ignoring her.

2

u/ElphabLAW 12h ago

Why not Melania?

8

u/typicalamericanbasta 9h ago

Because no one can understand her no matter what language you speak.

Plus, 'I pretty, you buy me' gets old after a while.

u/Freefall_J 6h ago

English is her second language and but at this point, isn't her English more coherent than Donald Trump's? I'm not even joking.

u/Theslootwhisperer 4h ago

u/opinionsareus 1h ago

don't forget Barron and Melania and Eric and his dunce wife.

u/this-is-a-fact 13h ago

Senator Tom Cotton claims to have a 100% child rapist voting record, having voted for a child rapist every time a child rapist was on the ballot.

Remember that in November.

u/RealSlyck 13h ago

It’s Arkansas…he’ll get reelected by a landslide. So much corruption and ignorance there it’s endemic.

16

u/MountainMan2_ 11h ago edited 11h ago

The Republicans are actually spending a remarkable amount on races in Arkansas this year. I'm not crazy enough to say we will win, but this isn't a done deal for Cotton. Every indication is that states as red as Kansas are potentially in the splash zone of this oncoming wave, especially if we get a favorable October Surprise.

As for election rigging, well... If you listen to the vibes coming from the trump administration's inner circle, they seem to think the wave will be too big to let them keep the house even if they rig it, and are quietly starting to lean away from the idea as a result. Most of the damage that will be done probably already has been done in the gerrymander, the ballot purges and the supreme Court cases, which is all just the same kind of rigging they've been doing forever.

Cotton is just one of a number of jug eared, ignorant MAGA senators.

u/cAnDYmanBMF Europe 13h ago

And he did this to one of his own. That's very telling of his character or lack thereof. No ethics, no morals, he's nothing more than an animal.

u/etherealtwo 11h ago

Trump said in his post, "It's very expensive for our Nation where you have high and dangerous steeples to reach, like on churches and municipal buildings."

Anyone know what that means?

166

u/DrXaos 11h ago edited 9h ago

It's stupider than you possibly imagine. Trump thinks that humans have to climb up to tall buildings and literally physically change clocks.

One eternal truth: Trump doesn't understand metaphor or synecdoche or any abstraction ever. When somebody says "we have to change the clocks twice a year" he thinks it means actually removing one clock and installing a different one.

So he believes there are workers twice a year climbing high towers and performing physical maintenance. He also doesn't realize the clocks are no longer there, he only remembers from far back in the past before cell phones and there were more public clocks mounted on buildings.

Like how he truly thinks the people claiming political asylum are literally escaped lunatics like Hannibal Lecter character, and why would the evil Democrats want them?

u/_SCHULTZY_ 9h ago

https://www.huffpost.com/entry/trumps-exercise-and-energy-belief_l_6930cc7ae4b0cee4438247cf

Trump believes that a person is born with a particular energy reserve like a battery and that any physical exercise only drains that life battery and kills them younger. 

23

u/DrXaos 9h ago

So when he called Jeb Bush "low energy" he meant literally like a low battery, and everyone else interpreted as a criticism of Jeb's style.

u/Photon_butterfly 11h ago

Wait wait wait... What? Are you for real? Can you send me a link to this about political asylum. Because that's crazy.

Edit: because tone doesn't exist in text. I believe you. I'm just wanting a link to see this insanity

u/DrXaos 10h ago

Oh that? That was old news and repeated many times.

He also thought tourists and migrants were getting credit cards because he doesn't understand what visa means in terms of travel.

22

u/Hurtzdonut13 8h ago

He also says that Talarico thinks he has six genders because he didn't understand cis-gendered.

Asylum seekers were coming from mental asylum.

u/hiddenrealism 8h ago

welp, time to get out of here turkey legs!

•

u/Freefall_J 5h ago

I took his post to mean people have to climb tall heights to change the time on these clocks manually. Like manually moving the arms.

•

u/_Fun_Employed_ 1h ago

To me it sounds like a threat…like he’s threatening to push someone off a high place…but I don’t know

u/NexusNickel Colorado 13h ago

You send him a request for all the promises Donald and the Epstein class told you.

$5000 for voting red

Tariff rebate

DOGE check.

$12,000 should do it.

All of this over a daylight savings bill. Absolutely unreal. Trump is reading these stories and chuckling about how much he fucked this guy over.

Has anyone tried to sign up for any accounts using that number to see if it's already in use?

u/GivinUpTheFight 11h ago

Not a terrible idea, except at this point we're so deep into the game I'd bet someone else just signed him up for whatever.

I think someone needs some Cat Facts though. The classics never go out of style.
