“You can’t fool your base,” they say without even a hint of irony.
We’re unfoolable!
*get fooled by their sweater while trying to get in
“I can’t wait to receive my new high quality, US-made Trump phone!”
– The same fools
You fool me once…You fool me. The point is you can’t get fooled again.
-George W. Bush
Fool me once . . . Shame on . . Shame on you . .
Fool me twice . . . Y- . . You can’t get fooled again.For the curious, this quote is because he realized mid-sentence (literally as he was saying “fool me once”) that he was about to give democrats a nice juicy “shame on me” sound bite to use in all of their ad campaigns.
I think he just forgot it midway through. He wasn’t a great speaker so it was initially kind of weird they had him speaking everywhere, all the time.
And he’d inevitably say something wrong, offensive, outrageous, stupid, whatever.
Which is why we were sure he’d go down as the worst predisent evar.
Those were the days
So instead he mangled the phrase so badly we’re still making fun of him for it twenty years later?
Hey, but no ad campaigns, though.
Mission accomplished!
Boom.
Doesn’t matter if they turn on him, if a peaceful agreement is made all Donny has to do is give a speech declaring absolute total victory then they will be back on his crusty Cheeto dick just in time to start a new war with Cuba and Greenland. And right after that Israel will continue bombing Iran out of spite and to get America to eventually do a full scale invasion just in time for Donny and the GOP to attempt to stop the midterms from taking place.
You are of course right on every point, but
crusty Cheeto dick
has put me right off cheetos.
"Fool me once, well okay. Fool me twice, well okay. Fool me three times, well okay. Fool me…

Fool me 847,382 times, well okay. Fool me 847,383 times… hey… umm… wait a minute… umm…"
“Fool me once, shame on you. If you fool me, you can’t get fooled again.” - President George W. Bush
I remember how amazed I was that America would elect someone so obviously dim and unprincipled as George W Bush.
Trump makes him look wise, statesmanlike and knowledgeable.
Bush Jnr. did the same reputation-laundering for Reagan.
… no comment, no notes, the jokes write themselves at this point.
fooling his base is the basis of his entire success
Fool me once, shame on me,
Fool me twice,
Please fool me
Please
They are so incredibly stupid
They’re proudly stupid, and nothing will ever convince them to change that situation
Donald Trump’s Truth Social post praising negotiations with Iran as “productive and professional” triggered an immediate backlash Sunday — not from Democrats, but from his own most fervent supporters, who accused him of repeating Barack Obama’s mistakes and demanded military destruction of the Iranian regime instead
I take it this is a different faction from that non-interventionist MAGA faction?
His base are completely psychotic.
LOL, the very fact that PEDOnald the Pumpkinhead is in office gives the lie to “you can’t fool your base”:
- They think he cares about them.
- They think an effete elitist from Manhattan is a REEL MURIKAN.
- They think he was a successful businessman.
- They think he’s “great at deals”.
And so on. Of course, you could have asked almost any liberal about any of the above, but would the base ever listen to a liberal? Fuck no, that might make them gay.
He’s been doing exactly that for over a decade.
How many people have to turn on him before he’s not in charge anymore? I’ve been told that the vast majority of Americans are against him. It shouldn’t be possible in a democracy for someone to be in charge if most everybody is against him
Enough to both flip almost every Senate seat in contention at Midterms blue, and counteract all the Republican attempts at gerrymandering and electoral interference that will inevitably come.
A gargantuan effort but not statistically impossible
I think things will have to get truly bad by November for that to happen…
Honestly, I think Trump is more likely to be replaced by the 25th Amendment than impeachment.
They don’t have to be many people. They have to be rich people. When the rich turn on him, then he falls. That’s why he spends all of his time lining their pockets.
Hell, the rich have been playing that game with each other since the game began.
Technically did not get half of the votes this last time…
He still got a large enough percentage to win. That shouldn’t happen if he’s as universally hated as he seems to be
Unless the voting was compromised…
And how much of that is bots looking to soften his escape from the debacle trying to make it seem like starting a war was what anyone wanted?
Especially on his own platform. It’s why I’ve always hated the media spin of an article saying people want xyz and there’s no poll only a couple screenshots off Twitter.
The base is taking about Iran and not the Epstein files. I’d say Trump’s done a fine job fooling his base.
Eh, not sure they care about children. That’s just a talking point they like to use to repress and control women.
One in 4 girls are sexually abused before age 18 and one in six boys. 96% of those are by family. Do the math, most of them are offenders too, they will never actually care.
Tbf that could just be one or two diddling uncles. That is to say, one person can molest multiple children.
They fooled themselves.
Lol you can’t fool your base
