Donald Trump on Friday downplayed the toll on American sailors enduring nearly nine months at sea on the USS Abraham Lincoln as concerns escalated about mental health and supply issues aboard the aircraft carrier supporting U.S. operations against Iran.
In a brief exchange with reporters before flying to New York for an event to highlight falling violent crime rates across the U.S., Trump refuted that family members have raised concerns about the deployment’s length and even said that the deployment — which includes a record-setting uninterrupted time at sea of more than 240 days — is “not nearly long enough.”
Yes, a reference to someone being amazed of a person being voted in not qualified as President is totally out of context in this thread.
You would think as long as you’ve been on Lemmy, and probably on other places before that, you’d pick up on a common sarcasm trope like my first line, especially when it’s ended as I did. But I realize Poe’s Law has been dead for a good decade now, so the assumption is always that the person is being real. Never mind the many words later that seem to point otherwise. Right, you ignored them, as attacking on an assumption is always a great move. (that’s sarcasm, btw)
The point he is making is irrelevant, and has no connection to voting for a malignant narcissist.
Yes Reagan was an actor, but he was not a psychopath. Although he was part in leading USA down that road.
The election of Reagan has zero bearing on the ability for people to detect a psychopath, and the fact that only another psychopath can’t.
To claim the American voters didn’t know they were voting for leopards eating faces is moronic. They voted for him BECAUSE of it, not out of ignorance.
