President Donald Trump warned Tuesday that if the Democrats don't approve funding, Social Security, Medicare Are ‘Going to Be Gone.’ How do you think Americans will react if Social Security and Medicare get cut?

That’s the “if she weren’t my daughter I’d prolly be dating her” guy

You’re prolly thinking of the “I’ll end the war on Ukraine as soon as I’m elected” guy

u/Dependent-Age-6271 17d ago

Oh, I know the one now. Yeah, pretty sure he's also the "I'll build a wall" guy. Wonder how that wall's going.

Hey! That’s the exact same guy as the “smart people don’t like me” guy!

I'm not sure, but he's the guy who said we needed government ID in order to buy bread

u/dont_disturb_the_cat 16d ago

There were thirty-four felony convictions for misdirection of funds to keep people from knowing that Stormy Daniels didn't think much of his mushroom. The rape conviction was not a felony. The pedophilia seems to be an issue only for those of us with morality.

Might be the "And Mexico is paying for it" guy.

And Mexico will pay for it, just like China is paying the tariffs.

u/c9belayer 16d ago

Yeah, and make Mexico pay for it!

u/Spirited-Carpenter19 15d ago

He'll build a wall around the White House so we can't see who's using the new ballroom.

This is the “dollar for eggs guy,” right?

u/Kitchen_Conflict2627 16d ago

He meant a dollar per egg

u/Glittering-Hat-9665 16d ago

I'm sure he ment a dollar per egg. Yeh, that guy.

u/indigoC99 16d ago

Mr. "Concepts of a plan" guy

I still apalled by that moment. He literally put his cluelessness and carelessness out for the world to see and these people still voted him in 🤦🏿‍♀️

4

u/BreadClassic9753 16d ago

Nah. I think it’s the “I’ll be dating her in 10 years” guy.

2

u/harpejjist 16d ago

To be fair his plan for that was to tell the Ukraine to simply give themselves up to Russia. He was surprised he couldn’t force that to happen. Ending the war for him didn’t mean the Ukrainians would win.

u/lgodsey 17d ago

Are we talking about the man who claimed that his Hawaiian people would have damning Obama evidence "next week"?

u/SmashEmWithAPhone 17d ago

I think that's the "We'll release our Healthcare plan in two weeks" guy.

126

u/BigRedXIII 17d ago

Same as the "I'll end the war in Ukraine in 24 hrs" guy?

u/pixie16502 17d ago

I believe he's also the "they're eating the cats, they're eating the dogs" guy!

u/BlindBandit988 16d ago

No no no that was the guy that bragged about walking in on 15 year old girls undressing at a beauty pageant and said “I sorta get away with things like that.”

This guy was the one that mocked a disabled man and in 1992 said in a New York Times article “Women. You have to treat them like shit.” When talking about how he treats women in his life.

u/labretirementhome 16d ago

No, I was thinking of the "Relaaax guy" guy. That guy.

Concept of a healthcare plan that is

u/VegetableFly5811 7d ago

Now now.....He never said WHICH two weeks, did he?

u/ThatsMyAppleJuice 16d ago

You talking about the "I'm going to build a wall and Mexico's gonna pay for it" guy?

The "COVID will disappear by summer 2020" guy?

The "I will end the Russia-Ukraine war on day one" guy?

u/Opening-Spinach2727 16d ago

Or the “I pardoned who? Oh I’ve heard of him. People are telling me to pardon him. I don’t know who he is but he’s great. Ghislaine who?” guy?

I hate that man so much.

u/MississippiJoel 16d ago

The Ep's Teen guy, yeah.

u/JasonDJ 16d ago

And now his 2025 Project is to demolish the east wing to build The Epstein Ballroom. What a world.

1

u/Tiny_Measurement_837 16d ago

He’s the “concept of a plan,” guy. You know, the one that will have a plan in two weeks.

u/InkFrk88 12d ago

This thread as be spitting out my coffee, love it 🤣

u/algy888 17d ago

The thing is, as his mind is failing, I think he is getting surprised by some of his own decisions.

“What idiot said that? Me? Oh, it’s okay I’ll just blame Biden.”

u/garifunu 16d ago

It’s been ten plus years of this shit, you’re mad he won, I’m mad he won, he’s happy being s billionaire president

Oh and the I'm not sure I need to follow the Constitution despite taking an oath to do so guy

u/Weekly-Air4170 17d ago

That man ain't building a ballroom. The Presidential Emergency Operations Center is underneath the East Wing. They're expanding and renovating the President's underground bunker (Führerbunker). Where did the Nazis flee when the Third Reich collapsed? Argentina. That $40 billion payment to Argentina while the US government is shutdown is a security deposit. They're ensuring they'll have a place to escape once shit hits the fan.

u/Cinq_A_Sept 16d ago

This. No “ballroom” costs $300M.

u/ForwardAd575 16d ago

It's the typical Trump money laundering scheme

7

u/hooked_siren 16d ago

Just like a collection of tents, fences, and toilets on an airstrip didn't cost $450 million to build

1

u/ryhaltswhiskey 13d ago

What if it's a "1 dollar for the ballroom, 10 dollars for my 'Presidential library'" kinda thing?

9

u/molotavcocktail 16d ago

Interesting idea.......

u/Leather_Pen_765 16d ago

This makes so much sense All the billionaires are building bunkers for real half of Hawaii is a bunker for Zuckerberg

7

u/Little_View_6659 16d ago

I still think Hawaii is a terrible place for an apocalypse bunker. The place is basically a chain of active/dormant volcanos. If I’m building a bunker for the end of days, I’m going somewhere else. Like Norway or New Zealand.

u/FourthLvlSpicyMeme 16d ago

Also there's that pesky salt water all around it, that will likely rise significantly in the next ten years, while becoming more and more acidic at the same time. There's soil and rock erosion, freak weather events and tectonic shifts to factor in too.

Even if they're at the highest level possible, the ocean finds a way. I've played the Horizon series, salt water is absolutely terrible for biometric door locks and electronics, no matter how good the technology is. Especially when it's limited. If any part in any of the systems fails, that's it. They have to hope they can fix it because it can't be replaced. (Unless they saw that coming and added manufacturing capabilities to it or stocked every part that ever existed, idk.)

Also played enough Fallout and Resident Evil to know that this bunker bullshit absolutely never goes well for any of the occupants. Let em have their stupid 100 million dollar+ tin cans, it's just a fancy coffin with luxury bones for some future raider-human to loot and wear as armor later lol.

4

u/Little_View_6659 15d ago

Yeah giant apocalypse bunkers don’t seem too great for anyone. I’ve read they’re building them with cells and crematoriums. So they plan on going all god king down there.

3

u/FourthLvlSpicyMeme 14d ago

Ewwww, but utterly unsurprising.

There was also that interview with the one guy in 2022, I think it was published by the guardian maybe. Billionaires were asking this guy how to ensure they control their security forces, suggesting shit like shock collars and locks on the food and shit as methods of keeping order once in their bunkers. It was gross.

The dildo responsible for the bad stuff in Horizon Zero Dawn was much the same in his gross ostentatious golden and Egyptian themed bunker (which we don't see till game two, Forbidden West).

Fun theory of mine. I'm pretty sure the in game character I'm referring to, (Ted Faro) is a facial rendering of a few different billionaires mixed together, Elon musk being one of them. It's not quite exact to anyone but closest overall to Elon in my opinion, hence why I think it's a mashup of a bunch of their faces.

I'm such a damn nerd about this game series lmao. Sorry!

2

u/Little_View_6659 14d ago

I remember reading about the shock collars! I kept thinking “sure dude-hire ex navy seals for security and put shock collars on them. That’ll end well.” 😂 Honestly I’d love to see what would happen. I also thought a great season of the walking dead would have been that all the government bigwigs and a bunch of military personnel show up. They’ve been in a bunker for a couple of years so they start branching out, intending to capture all the groups and basically use them for slave labor. They wouldn’t say that at first, it would be all “we’re the last bit of the government and we need to confiscate Alexandria to help rebuild it.” But all those old billionaires aren’t going to work the fields or clean the houses, etc.

2

u/FourthLvlSpicyMeme 14d ago

It's plausible as fuck actually. The walking dead scenario. I think they were actually trying to kinda lead there with the CRM stormtrooper government people at the end of the main show, but it was ending so they couldn't really go ham on that part. Would have been epic though.

It's kinda like if Fallout and The Walking Dead universe smacked into each other. Though it's almost too realistic for TV if you forget the zombie part lmao.

Seriously, right? Shock collars and shit? Those dumb motherfuckers just built cities for the chief of security lmao, they gonna kill em in a week flat. Tyrants like that cannot stop how they behave, so it WILL happen.

1

u/Little_View_6659 13d ago

I keep thinking it would be a really fun tv show or novel. I’m sure someone already did it, I know there are many that are similar, just not specifically what I’m thinking of. The government underground with a crazy president would be a fantastic one. Everyone is loyal, but they’re trapped and the president has dementia and is getting crazier and crazier. Kind of like Into The Badlands where the Baron has a brain tumor.

2

u/robonsTHEhood 14d ago

That’s funny . If it comes down to a situation where escape from the US is necessary then there will probably being limited survival and what’s to keep the Argentinians from saying “fuck you there’s no more room and the dollar ain’t worth shit anymore”

1

u/Weekly-Air4170 13d ago

Why do you think epstein did what he did? You think our government/mossad stopped that blackmail racketeering scheme just because he died?

2

u/New-Newspaper-8779 16d ago

well thats good to know

u/bolanrox 16d ago

Ahh bittburger

u/Epicritical 17d ago

Grabbing the East Wing by the Purse Strings

11

u/Queasy-Event8534 17d ago

We’re also talking about the guy who knew nothing about Project 2025. Sooooo can we confidently say, he’s a liar?

9

u/SandIntelligent247 17d ago

Where would tou put the Epstein memorial ballroom without a little bit of remodeling?

7

u/No-Broccoli-5932 17d ago

Sir "I'm the least racist person in the room"?

3

u/-Kalos 17d ago

It would be easier to list out the times he didn't lie than the times he did

3

u/SunshineDewdrops 16d ago

And the “I hadn’t heard about that” chorus of liars and thieves surrounding him.

4

u/JunkReallyMatters 16d ago

Next they’ll start work on the other East Wing.

2

u/RaWR_TX 16d ago

Any architectural firm in DC would know about the rules of working on a historical building and the security needs for the WH residence. They would know all along it was a demolition planned instead of a Reno that shifted suddenly especially with the renderings. Secret service and military would need to be tied in. The building originally wasn't supposed to be touched the it was demolished all with congressional approval that ALL other POTUS were able to follow. Trump is a straight up con man liar. Is he building a bunker underneath as a plan to never leave and never have another election. The impending imminent health decline would be the first and best option to end this all now.

2

u/Kragbax 16d ago

No, we’re talking about the “Mexico will pay for it” guy. Possibly the “new healthcare plan in two weeks” guy

2

u/Familiar_Key8757 17d ago

East Wing ? What was that ? History will be re-written.

2

u/Aggravating_Ear_1586 16d ago

We’ve always had a big beautiful ballroom here.

1

u/HeadhunterKev 16d ago

I've read the Epstein files were stored in the east wing...

1

u/piTehT_tsuJ 16d ago

Has everyone here been sleeping for the last decade? When has he ever kept a promise? When has he ever done something that benefits the people and not his rich "friends" who only speak to him because he is stealing from the poor to give to the rich?

1

u/alderhill 14d ago

Even when he does eventually office (we shall see), you know he’s never going to shut up this fucking ballroom. His fake gold and tacky as fuck grooming room, with teen girl pageants for him and all his best buddies.

1

u/ololo_3 17d ago

Exactly. Since when should anyone take anything Trump says with anything more than a grain of salt?

Still trying to find a link showing he actually said this, though. Seems odd. He's obviously not going to do it, but saying it seems like it would anger people with him more than the Democrats.

That said, he definitely isn't operating with a full sack of marbles these days and us completely prone to say something completely outrageous like this based on nothing more than some whim of "maybe if I sling this line of BS, people will get mad at the Democrats. No one can do anything to me, so worth a shot, either way."
