        Thanks for the source. After watching the video, the “Mr. Japan” bit was honestly much less noteworthy than the completely incoherent rambling about sending letters to countries congratulating them on the privilege of being able to “shop in the USA”. He just kept repeating that and then naming random percentages. It felt like I was having a stroke trying to understand what he was even trying to say.

      Not my president

      Sorry but he is totally your president. You can’t be in favor of the democratic process of elections and then distance yourself from the outcome.

      You as a nation voted for Trump. He’s your president. You own the consequences along with all Americans.

      I don’t keep up with everything he does

      You should, if only to know when the ICE Gestapo might come knocking at your door or when it’s time to flee because it’s too dangerous to stay in the US.

        We did NOT vote for Trump, they cheated, and we ALL know it. He is an illegitimate leader, and should be removed from power in any way necessary.

          Funniest shit I’ve ever seen. The Republicans didn’t need to cheat! Fucking acknowledge that the Democrats were willing patsies in getting Trump a second term, same as for the first. They could easily win elections by moving their politics even slightly left, but prefer to lobby exclusively for the votes of the seven undecided enlightened centrists in the country, then blame anyone left of those imaginary dudes when they inevitably lose.

            There is no such thing as the Republican Party. It is 100% dead, and replaced by the MAGA Party. The Republicans may not have cheated, but cheating and corruption is the MAGA brand, and they can’t help themselves.

            Even if every poll showed MAGA winning by 30 points, they’d STILL cheat, because they wouldn’t know how to NOT cheat.

              Ah okay so it doesn’t matter that the Dems are ineffective stooges who are doing all the work they can not to get elected, got it.

              Like, if the MAGA party cheats so much, how come they win? Yes, they cheat, but bow come they are allowed to do that? Shouldn’t their so-called opposition stop them? How come that doesn’t happen? How come that they only seem to continue the politics of the MAGA people, like Biden did after Trump and like Kamala promised to do if elected?

              You have a child’s understanding of politics. Realize the political class as a whole is not out for your benefit and the game is fucking rigged.

          Most people who say “Not my president” are Americans who feel ashamed. Nobody else in the world feels the need to say that because they have no reason to be ashamed.

            No, were ashamed that our species is collectively capable of voting for a guy like him. We’d love to point a finger at Americans and imitate Nelson with a “Ha Ha!” of pure Schadenfreude (and maybe even a meme of “That’s the worst president they’ve elected in the history of their nation! - That’s the worst president they’ve elected in the history of their nation so far!” or watch from the distance saying “He’s about to do something stupid”)

            But honestly, we just can’t laught at Americans while they’re not only affecting and destroying their lifes but also try to drag down as many others world wide as they can.

    I’m terrible with names. I fully admit it. But if I forget a name I just ask “what was his name again?” or something along those lines. A normal person would just keep saying “the prime minister”, or I don’t know, just make the effort to remember the names of major world leaders since it’s your fucking job. Not Mr. Japan OR Tim Apple.

    Why some people think he’s intelligent is beyond me.

        I thought he ment it as: Tim - Apple (as in Tim of Apple) or Tim, Apple (as in Tim and Apple). When you listen to the recording it really sounds like he’s saying Tim Apple but I don’t know if people really think he misspoke or if it’s just too funny of a meme to pass up.
