US Elections 2020 IV: The Two Gentlemen of Corona

[JesusAndYourBush]

It does suit him. He should do it! Go for an old lumberjack look. His base would lap it up.

Suspendies and a bra?

Superman's had a beard before (because when a character appears in multiple comics for 80 years most things have been done), but my main guess is that it's a way to cover up an awkward visual join.

Yeah I imagine it's there to cover the transition from slender neck of whoever that superman was to flapping jowls of Trump

[QDRPHNC]

Why have they added a massive blonde beard to Superman?

cover his wattle

Whenever I see Barbie's perfect wean I'm compelled to draw shit running out of it. It makes all the difference.

The first pic shows the new-born shit-machine arriving home for the first time, shit pourin' out of it, all over 5th Ave. The second shot is a shit-free wean and mum, that someone can shit-up if they like. (Get involved, is what I say, have a go).

"We have so much evidence" = "We have no evidence"

One last grift before he gets dragged screaming from the Whitehouse.

[Pearly-Dewdrops Drops]

Is he using some kind of NSA bot swarm to up his YouTube vote radio? There is simply no way that is remotely close to accurate.

[Keebleman]

There's nothing on the BBC or Politico about it.  I would have thought it would have been at least mentioned.  That - and the weird 'green screen' effect -  are what leads me to think it's a spoof.  But a 45 minute spoof?  With no gags beyond the bounds of what we'd expect from Trump (granted, those are pretty generous bounds, and I have only looked at a few random minutes of it)?

[Urinal Cake]

It's on his official twitter/fb https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1334240039639937026

Proper banana republic stuff.

[idunnosomename]

his edges look so like the bg is comp'd in, for sure. bizarre

[DrGreggles]

Because no news channel will show him any more.
Substack next.

He sounds so convinced. I think he really believes it.

Never mind.

[Pearly-Dewdrops Drops]

Genuinely, what is going on there? The ratio is implausible and the comments are 100% pro-Trump.

Christ! what an ignorant dicksplash!

[Keebleman]

Guardian and Daily Mail are both linking to it now.

[amputeeporn]

Really do enjoy glimpses of bemused Melania, like in this video where they've filled the White House with tat:

This would be perfect if Melania walked into an office to find Donald on the phone, assumedly closing a trade deal then smiling up at her, warmly.

[Ferris]

Watched 30 minutes of it. He really genuinely believes it.

Never mind, he's an obese man in his mid 70s so in the ground soon.

As someone said earlier, he really has lost the edges to his face and - in my eyes - the edges to his brand of charm as well. His hair looks thinner, he sounded needy and weak. There's no way this won't be the moment that a lot of people look at him and see a car salesman.

[Urinal Cake]

I think it was easier when he could blame Hilary, Obama, Bush and Pelosi etc for the world's problems. People's natural distrust etc of them could be exploited. But blaming Mueller, generic corruption or generic Democrats  doesn't do him any good unless he QAnon supporters fighting against shadows. I mean at least blame Soros.

Yeah but to who? There's no independent listeners any more.

It's either the ~20% of the US population who are dumb as rocks and will literally vote for him regardless, the ~30% in the middle who aren't paying attention, and the other ~50% who think he's a dangerous moron.

There's no one left to pitch to. My guess is this stuff is a desperate bid to convince an audience of 1 before the system's machinations kick him to the curb.

That's insane. Worryingly insane. How could anyone think that looks good?

[chveik]

45 min... he's so fucking boring now

still hope he manages to fuck that defence budget though

[chveik]

He really genuinely believes it.

yep it looks like it

[Dex Sawash]

I've got it rolling in the background. Without listening closely he sounds a lot more like a normal person than he usually does. Definitely a bot.

Even Giuliani is like, 'Woah you sound a bit unhinged.'

"Honestly? What I saw was a food-van; and there couldn't have been (I'm sure there wasn't) enough food for even... I'm not sure what the food was Sir, maybe sandwiches, maybe soup, but there wasn't even enough for even two-thirds (I'd estimate two-thirds) of the people that were there... in the hall Sir... the counting hall. And I never saw a single sandwich or burger or anything come out that van Sir, which was supposed to be a "food"-van; so what was it doing there? And who were all these people, just hanging about?"

Genuinely, what is going on there? The ratio is implausible and the comments are 100% pro-Trump.

He (as we all know of course) has a massive, extremely fanatical base and this is on what appears to be his own channel and so will mostly have been initially seen by his subscribers and within his fanbase echo chambers. As noted above it's not been covered much by the MSM because he is an irrelevant outgoing hasbeen/demonic MSM forces are terrified to cover the truth that God's instrument speaks (take your pick) so in that context the hugely pro Trump ratio makes sense.

I notice this Donald J Trump YouTube channel only appears (unless I'm looking at it wrong on my phone) to have existed since just before the election and has since shat out oceans of click bait content at a rate that would be competitive with that of a 16 year old unboxing video influencer. Seems likely he intends to transition to being the biggest YouTube grifter on the planet during his declining wilderness years/exile before his glorious 2024 returh and indeed it makes me strongly suspect that the channel was set up largely with the intention of being an escape vessel to continue to speak to his base online at length if he lost. Why didn't he have an official YouTube channel before then? Cos of course he didn't need one as the world covered his every fart and grunt (sometimes literally).
