I dunno. Did Hillary mention it in her emails?

I'm starting to think this guy may be mentally incapacitated.

Yeah, he seems like a bit of- pardon my language, a real jerkface!

He represents the values of those who voted for him, or about half of US voters and all of the nonvoters in the US.

Can anyone share the snippet of him making the Indian accent? I couldn't find it on Youtube.

edit: Just saw the video from imprudentmortal, dafuq. Wtf is the independent doing, what a crock of shit this story was. The guy is a fucking imbecile, making up these stories undermines the true stories where he is being his imbecile self.

[–] YetAnotherNerd@sopuli.xyz 85 points 4 days ago

And it was just yesterday when The Daily Show talked about how “Trump tours Japan and manages not to do the accent”. Ah, sweet summer children.

Remember when people were baffled Trudeau did a dress up? Good times

[–] DeathByBigSad@sh.itjust.works 16 points 3 days ago (2 children)

At least trudeau apologizes, this turd would never.

Usha should be pissed off, but she'll take like the rest of the fucked up MAGAts.

Wait you got to 2 before this? How?

[–] NatakuNox@lemmy.world 13 points 3 days ago

A man gets tired having to update it every 16 hours. I took a few days off. The other employee was replaced by Ai.

[–] MourningDove@lemmy.zip 9 points 3 days ago

Simultaneously the joke and the punchline. Trump.

[–] Bloomcole@lemmy.world 26 points 4 days ago (1 children)

The hindutfascist is not going to like that

Trump supporters are committed to licking that boot. They'll take whatever he tosses at them and pretend it's gulab jamun.

[–] metallic_substance@lemmy.world 40 points 4 days ago (3 children)

I would love to see the actual video central to the article, but it's so laden with shitty advertisements, I just gave up

[–] impudentmortal@lemmy.world 43 points 4 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (3 children)

The accent isn't heavy at all. Surprisingly not very racist, or at least, not done well at all.

I'm more concerned about his delusional rambling in which he thinks he alone prevented a war between India and Pakistan.

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 14 points 4 days ago

Yeah that was nothing. Big nothing burger.

But yeah, "after literally two days, they called up", as if by a miracle. Even he can't explain the real reasons.

[–] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 6 points 4 days ago (1 children)

His obsession with the Peace Nobel prize is getting more absurd by the day. Egomaniac toddler. But something good might come out of it, or at least less bad.

It’s crazy how often you see an article talking about a video or photo, but they don’t post the video or photo

Honestly I can't hear any pretend-indian accent in the video. He did an odd voice but this seems like a nothing burger.

What an imbecile. Gross

[–] molten@lemmy.world 20 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Is lemmy just the new source of bad fucking info here? I struggle through the goddamn ads and trash and see the same voice that orange weirdo uses for everyone. It's not a slow Newsweek.

[–] dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 4 days ago (4 children)

Sadly this place will lap up anything that agrees with their world view just like the right would, no seeking of truth.

You can’t have a discussion here that deviates from the popular view as you’ll be downvoted to shit for it. It has become an echo chamber where we all just stroke each others ego about how good we are and most people won’t engage with the other side as they believe they’re too far gone.

This has the added benefit of me spending less time on here and just being in the real world where people are open to change and new ideas.

[–] krooklochurm@lemmy.ca 10 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

I've found Lemmy to be among the least echo chambery spaces I've found online.

Sure there are a lot of prevailing opinions that people tend to share but there's also a lot of healthy discussion.

LOL. It's just people kicked off Reddit, be honest.

[–] RisingSwell@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 days ago

Hey now, my Reddit account may be abandoned but it's in good standing

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 days ago

I left on my own when Reddit Is Fun stopped working, thank you very much.

[–] krooklochurm@lemmy.ca 5 points 3 days ago

Sounds like a good crowd.

Given the absolute fucking state of that insipid shithole and how much I love lemmy, and how alike it is to early Reddit, I could not for the life of me think of better company.

[–] UltraMagnus0001@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago

Her lemme prove your point. Hamas is bad, so is Isreal and their people are suffering for it.

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 days ago

I can't speak for everyone, but I've made some pretty libertarian arguments here that have gone over well. You have to tailor your message to your audience. Lemmy is quick to judge and dogpile, but its heart is in the right place. I'd rather get harsh criticism than be gaslit and censored.

Did he do the head shake thing?
No?
Fucking disgraceful!
Taco Chicken so dumb, he can't even imitate the population running half his country.\

[–] LittleBorat3@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

Yes they smile and wobble their head when they say "Adolf hitler, verrry good leader". Happened to me twice, unprompted.

[–] Korkki@lemmy.ml 12 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (2 children)

I honestly don't care about these 'Trump said or did something stupid' ""news"". I get it that his sundowning as hard as Biden did. Tell me if he nukes of threatens to nuke something.

[–] Donjuanme@lemmy.world 24 points 4 days ago

Hey great news.... He wants to start using nukes immediately.

[–] Greddan@feddit.org 21 points 4 days ago

He seems to be selling off weapons grade plutonium to billionaires, so there's that.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 10 points 4 days ago

This is the least surprising headline I've seen in a bit.

[–] treadful@lemmy.zip 8 points 4 days ago

Holy shit this is embarrassing.
