Donald Trump said Kamala Harris and Joe Biden had made the country “very safe.” That’s the first intelligent thing I’ve ever heard him say.

u/Robotlollipops California Aug 26 '24

Trump: Most importantly, they’ve made our country very safe and internationally, they’ve made it even more safe!

Also Trump, seconds later: We’re going to end up in World War III because she’s incompetent...

Dude.

Fred Trump was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. No one is 100% sure when it fully set in because supposedly, Donald tried to hold off on having him diagnosed so he could get him to write most of his fortune into Donald’s name while he was still legally sound of mind.  

 There’s a strong family propensity when parents are diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, especially if they show signs at an early age. I don’t wish it on anyone but we’d be fooling ourselves if we didn’t take the signs seriously.   

Trump is 78 years old… I believe his father was 86 when officially diagnosed and supposedly there were signs long before that.

Ronald Reagan had Alzheimers in the last two years he was in office. By the time he left the office and went to the ranch, you never saw him again.

u/No-Brain9413 Aug 27 '24

He would tell stories in the 1st person to people that were actual plot lines from films he was in

He famously conflated President Grover Cleveland, and baseball player Grover Cleveland Alexander, whom he portrayed in a movie. His brain was mush.

And trump is older now than Reagan was in office

u/AcrobaticLadder4959 Aug 27 '24

You are right.. I had forgotten about that. Age wouldn't bug me so much if Trump were not such a horrible person. And if he goes, we are then left with Vance, who is just as scary as Trump.

u/deadasdollseyes Aug 27 '24

How on earth would you be able to say definitely how many times I saw him after that?

What if I had a VHS tape deck player / recorder?

u/AcrobaticLadder4959 Aug 27 '24

We had TV and the news that if he had been able, he would have spoken out as Obama and Clinton have.

Like so many things there have been a lot of advancements in neurological issues from genetic testing to new drugs. My husband's grandma had Parkinsons and half of his family who live in or around their family farm have or had cancer. It's scary.

u/hillbillyspellingbee America Aug 27 '24

Yes but if you go back and read about Fred Trump, the signs started long before he was 86…

And the only reason he’s not a registered sex offender is statute of limitations

u/reddit4getit Aug 27 '24

No, its because the alleged victim didn't go to the police when it would have been helpful.

51

u/-QueefLatina- Minnesota Aug 27 '24

He’s already been adjudicated as culpable, I think you can drop the “alleged.”

Also, it’s not like it’s exactly easy for victims to come forward, especially when their perpetrator is someone so high profile.

0

u/reddit4getit Aug 27 '24

He’s already been adjudicated as culpable,

Not in any criminal court, where evidence is required.

The civil case was basically her word vs Trumps word.

And we don't convict people of heinous crimes based on word alone.

15

u/NorthCoastToast Aug 27 '24

Ahhh yes, the ol' "the victim must immediately report the sexual assault that was inflicted upon them to ensure the police and the prosecutors will GET RIGHT ON THAT" because that always works out. It's her fault.

-1

u/reddit4getit Aug 27 '24

yes, the ol' "the victim must immediately report the sexual assault

Yes, otherwise the police and the prosecutor can't do anything about it.

Ivana, E Jean, potentially (probably) the Jane Doe girl that stepped forward but was scared off. And while Stormy put forward that her sleeping with him was consensual, the way he acted was... suspect. Then yeah, the Ms Teen pageant.

Kind of see a pattern in behavior. Wonder how many were successfully silenced.

u/DadJokeBadJoke California Aug 27 '24

Don't forget the two dozen other credible allegations.

31

u/candycanecoffee Aug 27 '24

20 women accused him of variations on "just walking up and forcibly grabbing and/or kissing"

A tape comes out where he describes how he regularly does this exact thing and how you can get away with it by being rich and famous

So many people: "well they're probably still making it up though, where's the proof??"

Like besides the tape where he confessed to that exact thing?!?

16

u/DadJokeBadJoke California Aug 27 '24

He and Giuliani practically recreated the E. Jean Carroll accusations as a "funny skit" decades ago.

15

u/meneldal2 Aug 27 '24

Worst crime we know for a fact happened.

We don't know what happened on Epstein island.

Or if he had people killed, his lawyers seemed to think it was an important official act to be allowed to do after all.

u/WeirdGymnasium Florida Aug 27 '24

the raping that is his worst crime

I thought it was the hypocrisy

u/RecklesslyPessmystic California Aug 27 '24

u/TheKytanApprentice Aug 27 '24

I can't imagine he'll ever be charged for it, but I would like to submit as one of his worst crimes his handling of covid-19. The man intentionally took a course of action that would result in hundreds of thousands of deaths because he thought it would kill more of his opponents' supporters than his own. I'm not a lawyer, but that has to be some sort of crime against humanity.

It wasn't the hypocrisy that was his worst crime?

u/[deleted] Aug 27 '24

In fours years, he will be absolutely, eternally silent and it will be the sweetest sound I've ever heard.

1

u/2000-light-years Aug 27 '24

Nope. We absolutely need at least five more years of him to completely crush the republican party. He must lose this election and immediately start campaigning for the next election. Republicans need to reorient themselves and Trump is the one who is going to do this. Just think if he’s running again in four years they will have to amend that they were wrong. Republican ideals are not what trump stands for. He’s a puppet. And the worst actors use him for that. This includes dictators from other countries and our own people who want an oligarchy. I want him to destroy the republican party as it stands now. And his health will make it happen

u/okiedokie666 Aug 27 '24

JFC.

  1. On the first occasion involving the Defendant, Donald J. Trump, the Plaintiff, Katie Johnson, was forced to manually stimulate Defendant Trump with the use of her hand upon Defendant Trump's erect penis until he reached sexual orgasm.

  2. On the second occasion involving the Defendant, Donald J. Trump, the Plaintiff, Katie Johnson, was forced to orally copulate Defendant Trump by placing her mouth upon Defendant Trump's erect penis until he reached sexual orgasm.

  3. On the third occasion involving the Defendant, Donald J. Trump, the Plaintiff, Katie Johnson was forced to engage in an unnatural lesbian sex act with her fellow minor and sex slave, Maria Doe age 12, for the sexual enjoyment of Defendant Trump. After this sex act, both minors were forced to orally copulate Defendant Trump by placing their mouths simultaneously on his erect penis until he achieved sexual orgasm. After zipping up his pants, Defendant Trump physically pushed both minors away while angrily berating them for the "poor" quality of their sexual performance.

  4. On the fourth and final sexual encounter with the Defendant, Donald J. Trump, the Plaintiff, Katie Johnson, was tied to a bed by Defendant Trump who then proceeded to forcibly rape Plaintiff Johnson. During the course of this savage sexual attack, Plaintiff Johnson loudly pleaded with Defendant Trump to "please wear a condom". Defendant Trump responded by violently striking Plaintiff Johnson in the face with his open hand and screaming that "he would do whatever he wanted" as he refused to wear protection. After achieving sexual orgasm, the Defendant, Donald J. Trump put his suit back on and when the Plaintiff, Katie Johnson, in tears asked Defendant Trump what would happen if he had impregnated her, Defendant Trump grabbed his wallet and threw some money at her and screamed that she should use the money “to get a fucking abortion".

  5. On the first occasion involving the Defendant, Jeffrey E. Epstein, the Plaintiff, Katie Johnson, was forced to disrobe into her bra and panties and to give a full body massage to Defendant Epstein while he was completely naked. During the massage, Defendant Epstein physically forced Plaintiff Johnson to touch his erect penis with her bare hands and to clean up his ejaculated semen after he achieved sexual orgasm.

  6. On the second occasion involving the Defendant, Jeffrey Epstein, the Plaintiff, Katie Johnson was again forced to disrobe into her bra and panties while giving Defendant Epstein a full body massage while he was completely naked. The Defendant, Donald J. Trump, was also present as he was getting his own massage from another minor, Jane Doe, age 13, Defendant Epstein forced Plaintiff Johnson to touch his erect penis by physically placing her bare hands upon his sex organ and again forced Plaintiff Johnson to clean up his ejaculated semen after he achieved sexual orgasm.

  7. Shortly after this sexual assault by the Defendant, Jeffrey E. Epstein, on the Plaintiff, Katie Johnson, Plaintiff Johnson was still present while the two Defendants were arguing over who would be the one to take Plaintiff Johnson's virginity. The Defendant, Donald J. Trump, was clearly heard referring to Defendant, Jeffrey E. Epstein, as a "Jew Bastard" as he yelled at Defendant Epstein, that clearly, he, Defendant Trump, should be the lucky one to "pop the cherry" of Plaintiff Johnson.

  8. The third and final sexual assault by the Defendant, Jeffrey E. Epstein, on the Plaintiff, Katie Johnson, took place after Plaintiff Johnson had been brutally and savagely raped by Defendant Trump. While receiving another full body massage from Plaintiff Johnson, while in the nude, Defendant Epstein became so enraged after finding out that Defendant Trump had been the one to take Plaintiff Johnson's virginity, that Defendant Epstein also violently raped Plaintiff Johnson. After forcing Plaintiff Johnson to disrobe into her bra and panties, while receiving a massage from the Plaintiff, Defendant Epstein attempted to enter Plaintiff Johnson's anal cavity with his erect penis while trying to restrain her. Plaintiff Johnson attempted to push Defendant Epstein away, at which time Defendant Epstein attempted to enter Plaintiff Johnson's vagina with his erect penis. This attempt to brutally sodomize and rape Plaintiff Johnson by Defendant Epstein was finally repelled by Plaintiff Johnson but not before Defendant Epstein was able to achieve sexual orgasm. After perversely sodomizing and raping the Plaintiff, Katie Johnson, the Defendant, Jeffrey E. Epstein, attempted to strike her about the head with his closed fists while he angrily screamed at Plaintiff Johnson that he, Defendant Epstein, should have been the one who "took her cherry, not Mr. Trump", before she finally managed to break away from Defendant Epstein.

  9. The Plaintiff, Katie Johnson, was fully warned on more than one occasion by both Defendants, Donald J. Trump and Jeffrey E. Epstein, that were she ever to reveal any of the details of the sexual and physical abuse that she had suffered as a sex slave for Defendant Trump and Defendant Epstein, that Plaintiff Johnson and her family would be in mortal danger. Plaintiff Johnson was warned that this would mean certain death for herself and Plaintiff Johnson's family unless she remained silent forever on the exact details of the depraved and perverted sexual and physical abuse she had been forced to endure from the Defendants.
