    This shit ain’t even funny anymore.

    I didn’t know you had flies in Iowa. I hate flies! Now they’ll. I’ll get in trouble for saying that. Cruelty to animals. No it’s true.

    (laughter)

    You know, I said the other day I was at a place and it was a beautiful place, but they had like, flies. And I said, get flypaper! They said, “Sir, they’re not allowed to sell it anymore because of cruelty to animals.”.

    They actually said that! I don’t know. Can you get fly pa-? Used to be great, right? But they said, “You can’t do that anymore, sir, it’s cruelty.”.

    What the hell is going on with this country?

    The GOP frontrunner for the Presidency of the United States is clearly falling deeper and deeper into dementia.

      I don’t know, he sounds like he always does.

        Yea, I feel like people are always trying to find some medical reason to explain Trump and why he is the way he is. But I think we don’t need one, the man is dumb, he is cruel, he is selfish, and he was given enough money to get away with being like this for his whole life. We don’t need a diagnostic tool to figure this guy out, he is exactly how he seems.

          No. Hard no. I’m old enough to remember when Trump was the laughing stock of the entire country in the 90’s. He has not been like this his whole life.

          He’s been eat up with Narcissistic Personality Disorder his whole life, but now he’s straight senile. This is not the same bullshit.

            Nah, he’s just a narcissist who’s getting old.

            Ascribing it to some medical condition feels just like making excuses for his bullshit, when really he’s always been spreading this kind of bullshit.

            And it’s always some insane claim like “flypaper has been banned” or “wind turbines cause cancer” or “you have to flush a toilet twelve times today,” when really he’s just upset that flies are buzzing around him or that Scotland decided to put a wind farm near his golf course or that his fat turds haven’t been flushing.

            But he always makes it into some hare brained conspiracy theory, some concocted “they’re out to get you, you should all be upset” crusade so he can have thousands of people cheer and holler and validate his narcissistic belief that he’s the eternal victim in this world.

            None of this is new. Don’t make excuses for him.

              Again, hard no. See the recent examples you brought up?

              FFS, no one can say anything about Trump’s mindset without this kinda argument. I’m not saying he was formerly smart, or sane, or bereft of narcissism.

              I’m simply saying he wasn’t some old man yelling at clouds. Which is where we’re at today. He wasn’t nearly this unhinged in 2015, eight years ago, when he won the GOP nomination. Think a man in his 70’s somehow remained the same mentally? Don’t know about you, but I’ve paid close attention to the President of my country. Pointing out that he’s getting worse is not some sort of apology.

              And of course you’re right in noticing, “validate his narcissistic belief that he’s the eternal victim in this world”. LOL, he’s pulled this bullshit since he was rejected by the New York liberals. LOL, they saw him for what he was, kicked him to the dirt, and he never forgave them.

              Kinda off topic, but this is an important history lesson. Ever seen Obama savage Trump at the White House Correspondent’s Dinner?

                Trump has been making insane claims about “windmills” - as he calls them - since he realized that he wouldn’t be able to bully the Scottish government into stopping a wind farm project that could be seen from his golf course.

                That was in 2011.

                Take a look at the Trump Twitter Archive and see for yourself.

                So no, this didn’t only start at some point after 2015. Trump has always been a crybully and a narcissist.

      absolutely nonsense.

      you can watch Flypaper (2011) on prime on demand for three bucks. And it was certified “no animals harmed during the making of this production”.

      This sounds like some “how much is a banana”… he’s so disconnected from reality.

      OK, the guy is crazy and I don’t like him or his politics, but really do you think Biden isn’t going senile? The guy can’t even finish a sentence half the time. Can we not get someone that isn’t over the age of 70 in the whitehouse!? Seriously even 60 is getting to a “retirement” age and should be slowing down, not taking on the most important role there is in the country’s government…
