The news that President Joe Biden would not run for re-election caused a stir not only in America, but also in Russia, where pro-Kremlin propagandists are kicking up a fuss about what it would mean for their beloved Donald Trump.
Appearing on Monday’s broadcast of a state TV show 60 Minutes, State Duma member Oleg Matveychev complained that Biden’s move is a disaster for Trump’s election chances. “He is left without any trump cards!” Matveychev said. “Previously, he could easily attack Biden’s health, now he has nothing left to attack. More than that, attacking Biden at this point would be seen as inappropriate and rude.”
“Now they’re switching to [Vice President Kamala Harris] and are trying to attack her, but nothing new will stick to her,” Matveychev added. “Bringing up the fact she is not quite white will only activate her electorate.”
Russian state TV’s coverage of Harris—which is a carbon copy of what is playing on Fox News—was largely limited Monday to attempts at mocking her laughter.
Matveychev said that Biden’s departure from the race rendered the previous agenda obsolete. Discussing the age of the U.S. president or an assassination attempt against Trump is now yesterday’s news, he argued.
Does Trump even laugh? I don’t recall ever hearing him do it.
Trump doesn’t laugh because he’s a fucking psycho.
Joker disapproves.
The closest I’ve ever seen is that muppet/froggy grin he does when he thinks he’s getting away with something. I think he has a joy deficiency.
He probably barks out a “ha” sometimes but joylessly. I mean maybe be if he screwed over some orphans we get a belly laugh?
Good.
Holy shit, I hadn’t even realized it. I can distinctly remember each recent president laughing (at least mildly), except for Trump.
It would be horribly unsettling to hear him do so. And the rare Trump laugh would be at the most awful, evil thing, I’m sure.
