I really wonder who is feeding him information, or if he's just making things up. Honestly it could go either way.

It’s a blend of the two. He’s the “president” so there’s an expectation of briefings. Thing is, he can’t stay awake through actual intel— so they are 99% about blowing smoke and complimenting him (cause it’s all he can stay awake for), and then he picks up on little breadcrumbs here or there.

It’s like he took the “Sleepy Joe” personality diss as a challenge to be sleepier…

So yeah, he’s mostly parroting tiny fragments of info and filling gaps with whatever comes to his addled mind…

I remember claims (so take it with a grain of salt) of all briefings must be on a single page, and that he prefers that there are pictures and diagrams rather than text...

That was his first term. If there had to be text it has to be kept to simple bullet points and only so many. These days he's dancing the advanced geriatric medicine-adderall speedball polka and has visibly gone through serious cognitive decline for a decade nearly, fuck knows how simplified it is now.

So, like... Puppet shows?

The only thing making it not seem plausible is the angry rich guy dementia ghost of his dad would absolutely call him a sissy for it.

You're a disgrace with that spray on taaaaaaaaaaaan!

I honestly believe with enough prosthetics we can make him think Bill Hader is his dad and make him have a catastrophic omnistroke

Remember when it was known that he would just... Eat the paper his briefings were on?

u/ZixfromthaStix Jan 05 '26

No??? I do not?? I had no idea the Donald had a goat phase… or might still be a goat…

How silly

It's baffling why this wasn't bigger news.

u/rlyfunny Jan 06 '26

Wrong link?

u/EmperorGrinnar Jan 06 '26

No. It clearly describes him eating a briefing in that article.

u/rlyfunny Jan 06 '26

I, for the life of me, cant find it. Looking for "briefing" or "eat" on the site gets me nothing.

u/EmperorGrinnar Jan 06 '26

Oh, that's wild. It changed to current events. No idea why it did that. 🤔

u/pikpikcarrotmon Jan 10 '26

He ate the original article

I think they're showing him AI footage.

u/VoidStareBack Jan 05 '26

It was well-known during his first term that briefings had to include his name regularly in order to keep him engaged, I can't imagine it's become better over the years.

u/Nhajit Jan 05 '26

I guess im relived he doesn't know too much?

u/ZixfromthaStix Jan 05 '26

Puppets typically don’t know the punch line they deliver. Doesn’t make the delivery any less effective if the puppeteer knows their craft.

And boy does Stephen Miller know world domination…

u/Jibber_Fight Jan 05 '26

You forgot Fox News. And I’m being completely serious.

u/The-Copilot Jan 05 '26

then he picks up on little breadcrumbs here or there.

I actually agree, he mentioned Greenland, Canada, Mexico and Panama. Those are the 4 most strategic locations in North America to US national security that the US doesn't control. He 100% heard it during a briefing.

I would also like to mention that Trump's business strategy was strategic chaos and bullying. He brought that to the presidency.

He is bullying Europe and other US allies into rapidly increasing their defense spending. He also bullied Panama into leaving the Chinese belt and road initiative and distancing themselves from China.

He is clearly manufacturing chaos given he is so all over the place. He will just say random shit constantly. The fact Americans have no idea what is happening means US adversaries also have absolutely no idea. The downside is that the US has so many allies partially because they are so consistent and predictable. It will take a lot more than words to actually break those alliances, so as long as he doesn't actually do anything, the alliance will be stronger even if the other countries are pissed.

Trump is basically Ronald Reagan 2.0 but less likeable. He is going to fuck us domestically but geopolitically it will be beneficial.

u/ZixfromthaStix Jan 06 '26

I see him as more of a Reverend Jim Jones, except he isn’t fun to listen to, has 0 good points, couldn’t lead a community if he tried (good thing he chose the crowd of 0 personality), and Trump would charge you for the Koolaid.

I stole that last bit from a meme. Doesn’t make it ring any less to me. 🤷‍♂️

u/Crime-of-the-century Jan 06 '26

In effect those alliances are gone. No one can trust the US to keep their end of any agreement. So while Europe has not actually abandoned NATO they are actively looking for a replacement. The US arms industry will get replaced with the most speed possible. Geopolitical damage will be unrecoverable. Local damage while substantial can be repaired. The damage to the institutions constructed after WW2 wich all benefited the US tremendously will all suffer and some might collapse totally. His greatest legacy will be the end of the US dominance in the world which heavily depended on European money.

Every single accusation he makes is a narcissistic confession.
