The phone in question:
How do you misspell “Newsom” on literally the next line?
It was just something new.
Have you ever tried to spell Gnusum correctly, spaysnudel?
I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as sum, is in fact, GNU/sum, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus sum.
holy hell!
This is peak Lemmy.
“I never drink or do drugs.”
Alcohol and Drugs: “Uhhh… no comment.”
Maybe they forgot to feed him? Give him a taco.
that’d be cannibalism
Make cannibalism great again!
Is he confusing his daydreams/dreams for reality? that ain’t a good sign
Yeah, that kind of thing is not uncommon in dementia patients. My friend’s mom was telling us all about her lunch with Rob Lowe a while back. Of course she is in memory care, not the Oval Office.
I’m starting to think someone is just prank calling him.
He is a straight up LOON
Loser obviously on narcotics?
Trump is what happens when you start believing your own propaganda, and think you can order leaders of sovereign countries around because you’re “the leader of the free world”.
Correction, we “were” the leader of the free world
Who’s the leader now?
I think the only real deal he’s ever made is with Baalzebub.
I could easily see him doing a deal similar to the one in “The fall of the house of Usher”
You don’t pay the price. Your children do.
He just wants everyone to think he’s actually working.
Trump believes that he’s still on a TV show
And yet, everytime he claims something, some stupid shit head believes it.
I jokingly said, “Man, I’m loving this $1.98 gas” at work, and some fuck face agreed with a, “Ain’t it nice”.
Gas is at least $2.74 in a sixty mile radius around my town.
2.74 USD / gal. is equivalent to 0.99 CAD / L
Anything below 1.50 CAD / L is considered cheap where I live. I’m jealous of your gas prices
I remember the first time i saw gas hit $1.00 CAD/L decades ago and never seen it below since.
Dropped to 65ish cents during the first few months of covid when the highways were empty, that was wild. Soared back up not too long afterwards
Either that didn’t happen in BC where I’m at, or I didn’t pass a gas station to notice while isolating, but that is wild.
That’s some of the cheapest gasoline in the world… I would be careful complaining about it.
You know, honestly, he could score a win if he used real had prices. 2.70 here ain’t bad and some places have 2.49.
If he legit said, hey, gas prices are floating around $2.50, he could score points. But no, dummy had to exaggerate it to a redonk price.
I got gasoline for $2.36 the other day
$5.10
Just did the conversation. UK is roughly $7.50 per gallon (£1.42/liter). I’ve seen it up near $10 in some places.
I would gladly pay $15 a gallon if we got walkable cities and functional public transportation in exchange for it
Oh, they are working on fixing that. Our public transport was “privatised” a few decades back. It’s a shadow of what it used to be. A few places have improved, but it’s often local efforts.
Walkability is a godsend however. Interestingly, Milton Keynes proves you can have the best of both worlds. It has a robust road network. However, the red routes mean you can get most places with minimal road crossings. Either on food, bike, or e-scooter.
I don’t doubt any of these points but it’d be better to bring the receipts:
- China deal: https://www.reuters.com/world/chinas-foreign-ministry-says-xi-trump-did-not-have-call-recently-2025-04-28/
- India Pakistan cease fire: https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/india-will-not-accept-third-party-mediation-relations-with-pakistan-modi-tells-2025-06-18/
- Phone call to Newsom: https://www.axios.com/2025/06/10/trump-gavin-newsom-call-protests-los-angeles-law-enforcement
- Iran call: couldn’t find a reliable news source about this in the past two weeks
Well, he never did let a little thing like the truth stop him and it’s not like his voter base hears news from anyone but him.
Wait, what?! I thought the ceasefire between Pakistan and India had actually been negotiated by the Trump administration!
The whole reason we’re on the precipice of war is because Taco woke up saw Israeli strikes called genius on Fox news and he wanted to bask in that praise so he started suggesting he had something to do with it. It’s absolute lunacy.
The world is led by fox news 😵💫
Welcome to the future. I actually thought he was tangentially involved too.
No sane person can keep up with verifying news anymore. Most people’s feeds are pretty bad, and that’s the point! He literally burned out fact-checkers and journalists (and numbed minds to them) last term.
As he did on Wall Street before he got into politics:

Might be better if social media changes, but… we basically elected Big Tech:
No sane person can keep up with verifying news anymore.
I would also point out that there’s been multiple organizations that verify and fact check.
And just like we’ve seen in Trump Presidency part 1, MAGA and conservatives don’t gaf.
