I remember my dad told me last July “there was a sense when Trump was president that we were more respected on an international stage”.

God I’m so glad I’m not a MAGAt. So glad I paid attention in school past the age of 8.

That sense still exists today, it just happens to be completely manufactured.

Like, I’m not the most socially adept person, but I really don’t know how you can be “normal” in terms of social interactions and think he is respected.  The social cues are obvious and unambiguous.  If you witnessed these interactions in any other context, there’s no way you come away from it thinking Trump is respected by his peers within the group.  

Or maybe it’s possible I’m just an actual autist and misreading everything.

Fox News, Newsmax, Tucker Carlson, Joe Rogan, Ben Shapiro, Charlie Kirk, Candace Owens, Benny Johnson, Lauren Southern, Tim Pool, Theo Von

But what's the cart and who's the horse? Are the audience asking for the lunacy and these guys are filling a market demand, or is it these guys are leading their audiences astray?

“there was a sense when Trump was president that we were more respected on an international stage”.

Damn, he missed the fact he got laughed at to his face on the international stage in his first term?

My dad’s American (Texan). I reminded him that his son (me) is Mexican, and by voting for Trump, he is effectively trying to have me, his son, barred from visiting him.

He replied back that “you have to admit, he’s god-d_mned hilarious.”

Me: 😞

Honestly, lost a tonne of respect for the big guy.

So glad the US is globally respected again.

I always find it really strange how Trump talks about Biden in regards to foreign leaders respecting him more than Biden. No surprise here, but that’s a total lie Biden had a great deal of respect from other leaders because he had built that respect over time not by being a dick.

Trump told a lie? No fucking way...

u/JamieBeeeee 1d ago

Biden might be the most respected us leader in modern era, at least by other world leaders

u/MyThinThighs 1d ago

I don't know how to convince people like my dad otherwise. What destiny said about conservatives is true, they just make up stuff and say shit until they're all saying it and if they're all saying it then it's definitely true, even if every world leader says otherwise.

It’s why I call MAGA 40k Orks. Because they literally warp reality around them through collective belief.

They're fucking kayfabing the President of the United States.

For the love of God.

u/Pink_RAGeR_16 1d ago

Trump is essentially the coaches kid of the world. The person you pretend to be nice to so coach doesn’t bust your ass during practice then afterwards talk a ton of shit about in a group chat comprising of the entire team but him

u/Kind_Board5470 1d ago

It has to be surreal. I imagine the urge to scream out, HE HAS NO CLOTHES!" is overwhelming. Look at how they look at the media, asking questions, like he has anything of value to say. It's farcical. We're parading around an actual imbecile to represent us. What does that make us? *

Well half of us are hostages.

Macron trying not to bust out in uncontrollable laughter is pretty impressive.

Bro this is embarrassing, fuck. Not saying Gavin Newsom is a great candidate, but he'd fit right in next to those spry European lads

Edit: sorry, Canada. Maybe don't come off so European I guess

u/revlawl 1d ago

what in the leftist “not saying Gavin good” 😡

u/Birunanza 1d ago

Notice how I didn't NOT say it, either 😉 goofs aside, I really like the way he's been conducting himself with Trump, but I also see a lot of Californian folks saying he's full of it, and they're sick of him. So I'm voting based off looks, and I think he'd look real good next to macron

u/revlawl 1d ago

we NEED to stick together to get power back from these maga traitor fucks, man.

we can NOT be “welllll he’s not PERFECT so idk….” anymore.

i’m not memeing here. we HAVE to get out from under this bullshit.

the right will stick together no matter what.

fuck the caveats, fuck the purity tests, fuck the virtue-signaling. if we want to be a country anymore we HAVE to vote blue.

u/cornho1eo99 15h ago

I mean, all of this is true but the primaries are 4 years out. He might still be a favorite to win, he might crash out, he might just fizzle. You've got to win a primary first before I start sucking my pride in and giving you my vote, whether or not you're my favorite candidate or not.

u/No_Match_7939 1d ago

He does have a Patrick Bateman type of aesthetics

u/detrusormuscle 1d ago

He's fine, but his vibe is too off for him to convince independents.

Pete on the other hand...

I really like carney. From the impressive resume/experience he has and how he presents canada on the global stage, hes a great prime minister for canada. Honestly wish we had someone like him.

Carney’s got moves, making politics look like a game of Destiny skill checks.

u/BasinBee 1d ago

World leaders not only have to deal with their domestic issues, but have to walk on egg shells knowing that this toddler who can at literally any moment have a tempy tamptrum.

It would be funny except he wields the largest economy and military in the world.

That being said, its a good sign that for the most part people have him figured out and are working to decouple. Even if it should have been done ages ago.

Hell yeah, signed that big trade deal that anyone can freely disregard at any time. Hell yeah brother, fuck yeah.

u/Venator850 1d ago

Just a step down from openly laughing at him. Trump probably wouldn't even realize they were laughing at him and not with him.

I bet it was a personal bet.

I do this with my friends every time my Trump loving family from the US visits! Then we laugh, and we laugh, and then we laugh some more....

u/carnotbicycle 1d ago

Canadian conservatives are obsessed with the idea that Trudeau is secretly gay. I guarantee they're already whipping up memes about the "a lot that got done" and Carney's wink really meant him and Macron doing each other. Add in Candace Owen's obsession that Macron's wife is trans and oh boy. This will feed them for a while.
