I’m pretty sure you find out you meeting with Putin is “bad” as you’re going out of the window…
I don’t understand how you could be dumb enough to vote for this shitstain
Religion mixed with vulnerability and fear is a dangerous combination.
His cult literally thinks he’s sent from god when anyone with 2 eyes and just as many brain cells can see he is the closest thing to the antichrist that we will ever see.
He even “suffered” a head wound that miraculously healed within days. This shit is literally from their book and they can’t see it in front of their own face.
I know a very smart lady (university professor, STEM) who voted for him. Church bubble.
As someone who did both of those things, I caution you to be sure not to conflate educated with intelligent. I have met many very well educated, astoundingly stupid people in academia and industry. Some of the most educated people I’ve met were as dumb as a sack of hammers, they just had the right mix of personality traits and privilege to help them succeed in a system that above all else requires opportunity, dedication, and time.
You don’t have to be dumb. You can also be evil. All Trump voters exist on a spectrum between dumb and evil to me. I have known a few and they all fall onto the dumb/ignorant side of the spectrum. A lot of them are single-issue voters too.
But honestly, a lot of Republicans are this way. They think their party fights for the working class, despite clear and abundant evidence to the contrary. When a voting bloc like that exists, it’s really not that surprising they can be convinced to vote for someone like Trump.

If you are gonna give Alaska away at least remember to ask for a refund for the 7.2 million we paid…
LOL, literally doesn’t know where he is.
Alaska
Alaska myself
how did i get here?
USA.
Love the Fox banner. “Threatening consequences”. The consequences being that he’ll leave.
That’s right, the worst thing that can happen to a person is to not be in Trump’s presence.
Sounds like the best thing tbh.
I guess Alaska is free property now
I guess he could think that it’s an unincorporated territory, like Puerto Rico. That’s a US territory, but unless it becomes a state or an incorporated territory, it’s not technically part of the United States, and it wouldn’t be up for grabs.
On that note, looks like the Russian nationalist crowd is resolutely forging on on the Alaska thing:

Russian TV hosts say Alaska belongs to them ahead of Trump-Putin summit
(NewsNation) — Russian state television personalities have renewed claims that Alaska rightfully belongs to Russia as President Donald Trump is set to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Anchorage on Friday.
During a recent broadcast of Russia-1’s “60 Minutes” program, propagandist Olga Skabeyeva referred to Alaska as “our Alaska” while discussing a joint Russian-Chinese military patrol that approached within 200 miles of the Alaskan coast, Newsweek reported.
The comment came after State Duma Deputy Adalbi Shkhagoshev mentioned “our aircraft approached the borders of Alaska,” prompting Skabeyeva to incorrectly claim he had said “our Alaska.”
I suppose it’s probably part of this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alaska_payment_conspiracy
The Alaska payment conspiracy (Russian: Аляскинский платежный заговор, romanized: Ali͡askinskiĭ platezhnyĭ zagovor), also known as the Orkney conspiracy (Russian: Оркни заговор), is a conspiracy theory that the Russian Empire never received payment for the Alaska purchase from the United States, and that instead the ship, the Orkney, that carried the payment in gold was detonated for insurance money by Alexander ‘Sandy’ Keith, a con artist and explosives expert.[1][2][3] This conspiracy theory has been debunked in several ways.[4]
it’s not technically part of the United States,
I feel like this is a really bad way to think of Puerto Rico
There’s a lot of legal weirdness about their status, I get why people think of it that way, and I’m pretty sure that’s how it was explained to me almost verbatim back in like 4th grade.
But I think it’s better to think of Puerto Rico as “part of The United States, but not one of the united states”
That is, it’s part of the country known as the USA
But it is not one of the states that are united that the country is named after.
They’re US citizens, if they wanted to, a Puerto Rican could run for president and do anything that any other natural born US citizen could do, just the same as if they’d been born in Texas.
I feel like this is a really bad way to think of Puerto Rico
It’s correct. Incorporation is the process via which something becomes part of the US. If it hasn’t undergone incorporation, it isn’t part of the US yet. It’s just administered by the US.
They’re US citizens
Yes. Puerto Ricans are American citizens. (Note: in contrast, American Samoans are not, and are just US nationals, an unusual status related to American Samoa reserving the right to run its own naturalization system.) But Puerto Rico the territory is not yet part of the US. It will become part if it becomes an incorporated territory or, as I expect may be more likely, directly becomes a state.
If they’re not part of the US, who are they part of? Because they’re not considered a sovereign nation on their own, and they’re not part of any other sovereign nation.
The US president is their head of state, they have a resident commissioner who is a member of the US house of representatives and although they can’t vote on legislation they can introduce it.
And as far as incorporation goes, although officially PR is considered to be unincorporated, there’s an argument to be made that various acts of congress over the years have effectively incorporated Puerto Rico, for example, Gustavo Gelpí argued just that in his opinion in CONSEJO DE SALUD PLAYA DE PONCE, et.al. Plaintiffs v. JOHNNY RULLAN, SECRETARY OF HEALTH OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF PUERTO RICO

I despise that idiot and his republican enablers and supporters. I want the Epstein files released.
That said, people say this shit at least about Hawaii all the time. I don’t know if the same is true for Alaska. Is it dumb? Yep. Is it especially stupid being a president? Absolutely. Do I think that means “he’s already given it away” or something? No way.
The only pressure he’s applying is to his depends
he had me at “i will leave”
Damn it.
TACO
Hopefully it is good and he never comes back to the US.
The point being that Alaska is a US state and he seems to think its a different country
he think it’s russias territory.
I know, he also didn’t understand that Puerto Rico’s population are American citizens. His ignorance if basic knowledge has been blatantly obvious for decades.
Just rolling with his current ramblings and trying to make light of them to avoid losing all hope.

It sounds like this might be from a satirical news story that was then cited as being actual news, unless you’re thinking of an unrelated incident:
https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/donald-trump-puerto-ricans/
Did Trump Say He’ll Revoke U.S. Citizenship of All Puerto Ricans?
“We don’t really need these non-Americans and I don’t need their votes to win the presidency."
Rating: False
There was no truth to this story, which originated with Adobo Chronicles, a fake news website. The article didn’t garner much attention when it was originally published, but the story was eventually picked up by several Spanish-language websites, which then reported it as if it were real news.
While these web sites cited a “South American newspaper,” all of the information they reported originated on The Adobo Chronicles, a site whose disclaimer notes that its content is not meant to be taken seriously: “THE ADOBO CHRONICLES is your source of up-to-date, unbelievable news. Everything you read on this site is based on fact, except for the lies.”
Great job making up why I posted something instead of just fucking asking!
Also, your example starts with them being citizens, otherwise he wouldn’t be able to revoke their citizenship.
This is the kind of thing I’m referring to.
Puerto Rico got 91 Billion Dollars for the hurricane, more money than has ever been gotten for a hurricane before, & all their local politicians do is complain & ask for more money. The pols are grossly incompetent, spend the money foolishly or corruptly, & only take from USA…
Context for how that was read to mean he didn’t understand.
Plus the tons of articles questioning his knowledge based on other things he said that sound like he doesn’t understand, and Biden pushing as part of his campaign.
Wasn’t this the plot of the Battlefield: Bad Company series?
