Shortest recession ever!

I think tRump's people were planting seeds that he was going to pivot and start sounding more like a serious candidate yesterday. I was seeing things pop up on X about how his speech/conference was supposed to be more focused on policy, etc.

During his speech he even mentioned something like he was supposed to sound "more intellectual" or something to that effect and talk about the economy. That lasted about a minute before he launched into his usual bullshit.

I think a big shakeup is coming with his campaign. He's either not happy and is going to can someone or the campaign manager is sick of him not listening to him and will quit.

edit: oddly I just heard that tRump fired his campaign managers in August in both 2016 and 2020...lol

They were just discussing that on Morning Joe, and Rick Wilson is saying the same thing.

The thing is, we've been here before. 2016 stories talked about how poorly organized his campaign was. Everything was a mess, he fired campaign managers, and we all know how 2016 went.

The main oddity being the Comey letter. If that stupid fucker would have just shut the fuck up it never would have happened.

I love seeing people salivating at the prospect of Project 2025 say it has nothing to do with trump.

Just like all the divisiveness was going to stop after the assassination attempt and he was going to be all about unity.

That’s all he needs to do, but he can’t. All he has to do is focus on the economy and the border. He can’t refrain from attacking candidates personally. Part of it is the response from his crowds when he uses a nickname. But that’s who he is. I’m sure he’s getting advice to stay on this issues, he just can’t help himself.

WHich is why he lost four years ago. He's a mental case narcissist that can't control himself and be a real human being.

That legit surprises me. I really kinda thought it was a good pick. He served in the military and legitimately pulled himself out of poverty. Before he became such a boot-licking toady, I had generally positive feelings about him. He's done admirable things and the bad things are so Trumpian that I remain surprised he's not the most-popular US-born Trump sycophant within the base.

Are you sure he pulled himself out of poverty? I think he grew up in a fairly well off household.

Yeah, perhaps someone with that minuscule amount of self control should not be president?

I don't know! I'm just spit-balling here guys!

I suppose he could have been blatantly lying in his book (Hillbilly Elegy) but as far as I know, it was pretty legit.

I recently told the person who recommended that book to me that I'll never forgive him for recommending spending money on that (Jokingly, of course).

He was a hero to Democrats when he wrote the book. Just like everyone loved Trump until he ran for President and was a Democrat.

I didn't read the book but I thought the movie was good.

I can't say I know the background completely but it seems like he grew up in a pretty decent household. That might be due to his grandparents but I don't believe he was as poor as he tried to suggest.

I've never liked Trump. He went from an annoying celebrity to a political hero for the GOP and it made sense because he's always been a self absorbed narcissist.

As for JD, didn't know about him much personally before he was named VP, but what I know now, what a moronic jackass. It tracks though, because like Trump, he changes his political affiliation based on whatever works to his advantage. It's easier to grift the GOP so they chose to be Republican.

curmudgeoness

"Everyone" loved these guys? Nah.

I'm quite literally old enough to remember the orange one's long-running feud with "Spy" magazine -- those were the folks who coined the phrase "short-fingered vulgarian." Nobody took that jackass seriously. His business dealings and disasters were infamous.

JD Vance: Ah, yes. My well-meaning friends, who came from more affluent backgrounds than I did, kept pressing me to read that book "so I could understand what life was like for the poor and working-class people." I'd tell them I didn't need to read it because I had lived it, and they couldn't quite process that. "No no, he really tells it like it is!" My response: I've eaten squirrel, I know how it is, thanks. The Yale part -- I think I read an excerpt somewhere -- didn't  ring true, either.

He's all about the striving - just a hollow man trying to thrust himself forward.

"Trump Was Always a Joke in New York" is the headline. As a former NYer myself, it's true. He was a vaudeville act, and with the Central Park 5 - a grade A asshole.
