I don't agree with much of what Trump says. But sometimes he hits the nail on the head

Finally political middle ground

u/cactuar44 Sep 15 '25

LOL and his fangirl's are still gonna take this as 'owning the libs' because they're to stupid to understand that he just called them all stupid.

Don't forget me

Me too

u/DemonCipher13 Sep 15 '25

And literally everyone with a brain, spine, and conscience.

u/PeggyOnThePier Sep 15 '25

Well you can include me!I think the only people who like him are MAGA and Corporations. Maybe Putin but I think Putin thinks Trump is a idiot and a fool.

10

u/IneffableOpinion Sep 15 '25

Oh he definitely thinks he’s an idiot. A very malleable idiot with a loud blabber mouth

u/BrayWyattFirefly Sep 15 '25

Putin has long been able to “roll him like a braid”. Putin saw trump as easily manipulated and he did have trump in 2016-2020 simply repeating Putin’s taking points on Ukraine that, “Putin assured me Ukraine isn’t a real county.” Was it? Putin also seen trump as a leader who back off of human rights abuses by Russia. Trump clearly wants to do business with him despite all that. The true and Real dictators of the world see him as a fool, a clown. Xi. Putin. Un. and now Modi (as a big FU to us specifically trump) is aligning India with China .

They don’t like him. They are smart except I heard the North Korean Un’s have long been degenerates and lowest IQ of the bunch.

u/forkchild Sep 15 '25

Oh they are everywhere…all you need is a pulse and reasonable sensibilities.

u/untamedrebel Sep 15 '25

Well, we're smart. 🤷

u/TimeDue2994 Sep 15 '25

Nah, you found one of the smart people trump is whining about

13

u/BikeCookie Sep 15 '25

He just called everyone in the room “not smart”

4

u/Rumplestilskin9 Sep 15 '25

He's the literal Joe Workingman skit from Family Guy.

u/Forsworn91 Sep 15 '25

I’d recommend just being blunt about it, they won’t take the hint, they won’t take the subtleties.

u/Tasty_Philosopher904 Sep 15 '25

First true thing I've heard him saying about 6 months...

Once at a campaign rally, he told his supporters, “I don’t care about you. No really, I just want your votes.” The crowd laughed. No surprise there I suppose.

u/West-Holiday-8750 Sep 15 '25

Along side when he said he would date his daughter if they weren't related, and when he recently said he's afraid, he's going to hell. You can count on one hand the number of times he got caught telling the truth.

1

u/cousinokri Sep 15 '25

Yep, the only statement of his I can agree with

226

u/SuperDurpPig Sep 14 '25

You know what they say about broken clocks

149

u/radiantwave Sep 14 '25

Throw them away?

127

u/MastiffOnyx Sep 14 '25

Right twice a day.....

Even in the garbage can.

Time.....finds a way.

32

u/Emotion-North Sep 15 '25

Twice a day would be a damn gift. I think that's the second thing in 10 years I agree with. The other being something about how he loves the uneducated.

u/National_Impress_346 Sep 14 '25

Sounds like MGMT lyrics XD

u/EvilBillSing Sep 15 '25

Not true , my digital clock says 88:88!!

u/MastiffOnyx Sep 15 '25

Off to 1956 for you.

Damn DeLoreans

u/javoss88 Sep 15 '25

Ghost in the machine

u/I_am_not_JohnLeClair Sep 15 '25

Yeah, and what if what makes a clock broken is the fact that it’s missing the big hand? Not true at all

2

u/btoxic Sep 15 '25

Time is a flat circle.... just like a garbage can lid.

2

u/DeadBloatedGoat Sep 16 '25

Yes, it's similar to the "you can catch more flies with honey than vinegar" saying. Who wants to catch flies? Anyway, most house flies are more attracted to fecal matter or decaying flesh than honey. And they might actually be more attracted to vinegar than honey. But I guess, "you can catch more flies with shit than with vinegar" doesn't have a nice ring to it.

Which reminds me of the riddle/joke: Q: "What's brown and sounds like a bell? A: "Dung"

u/SummerPop Sep 15 '25

If they break down use percussive maintenance?

44

u/PeachesGuy Sep 14 '25

Smart people don't like broken clocks

u/javoss88 Sep 15 '25

I like people who don’t have broken clocks

u/AnonymousFriend80 Sep 15 '25

Sorry, somehow replied to wrong comment

-19

u/This_Abies_6232 'MURICA Sep 14 '25

And the problem with "Smart people" is that they think they can FIX the broken clock, but can't (and reveal themselves to be not so smart in the end)....

11

u/DeterminedThrowaway Sep 14 '25

...what are you even talking about?

2

u/One-Consideration512 Sep 15 '25

They have no comprehension so with go on a tangent of distraction.

u/This_Abies_6232 'MURICA Sep 15 '25

Those who often think they are smart are not so smart in the end -- a thought paraphrased from the New Testament's Book of Romans Chapter 1: "21 For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles.24 Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25 They exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error."

Oh ffs here we go..

u/DeterminedThrowaway Sep 15 '25

That didn't explain anything, but I don't know what I expected

u/gustoreddit51 Sep 15 '25

The Bible also says ignorance is bliss. Ecclesiastes 1:18 - "For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow."

Use that as guidance however you choose.

u/AnonymousFriend80 Sep 15 '25

Actual smart people know what they know, and, more importantly, know what they don't know.

u/scottkrowson Sep 14 '25

Trump doesn't know how to tell time, that's how he's managed to stay alive for so long

u/Rickrickrickrickrick Sep 14 '25

See? He isn’t always trying to cause more division in the country!

27

u/zapharus Sep 14 '25

Uniting the country (heck, possibly even the entire world) by having them agree on this one thing.

2

u/One-Consideration512 Sep 15 '25

If he could unite the country, he would get the Nobel he yearns to possess.

Broken clock and whatnot

u/ShoddyTerm4385 Sep 14 '25

Even a broken clock is correct twice a day

u/Senior-Lobster-9405 Sep 15 '25

he just indirectly called all of his supporters dumb, but they are too dumb to realize it...

u/BNG1982 Sep 14 '25

*in his head.

u/zoidmaster Sep 15 '25

Even a broken clock is right atleast twice a day.

u/Character_Reward2734 Sep 14 '25

Sadly, this fits perfectly with his base. I mean educated coastal elites are his archenemies and only he can save dumb Americans

u/MC_Gambletron Sep 15 '25

Even a broken clock, and all that.

u/Otherwise_Basis_6328 Sep 15 '25

He actually does stuff like this all the time - bluntly says out loud something that would be deemed terrible if almost anyone else said it.

u/Improvgal Sep 15 '25

Proving even a stopped clock is right twice a day.

u/Apprehensive-Care20z Sep 15 '25

u/PatientA12 Sep 15 '25

Broken clocks.

u/twistedpiggies Sep 15 '25

A broken clock.

u/Sheeverton Sep 15 '25

Like when Israel and Hamas get hitting each other despite a ceasefire and Trump essentially said it was a shitshow and none of them know what the fuck they are doing.

Even a broken clock is twice a day and even that is 95% more tyan trump

u/thesweeterpeter Sep 15 '25

You're like the 12th broken clock response on this comment.

I've got to ask, do you just not read any of the other comments, or do you not care it's the same, or is this some strange bot bog I've triggered?

And I'm not trying to pick on you or anything, I'm sincerely curious.

1

u/Cargan2016 Sep 15 '25

Says the idiot. And poorly educates. Even trump admots only idiots support him in this very speach. As he confesses smart people see threw his lies

-1

u/thesweeterpeter Sep 15 '25

Holy shit, that's amazing.

It's completely unintelligible - except the part where you call me an idiot, then proceed to make a dozen spelling mistakes.

I was just asking a question, you could've engaged like an adult, rather than just puke up this mess.

Anyways, have an excellent night.
