This just feels like either

A. He doesn’t fully get what satire is and assumes it has to be lighthearted or

B. He’s using “provocative” to basically mean “clickbait, but I’m too pretentious to call it that”

Honestly in a use case like family photos, redoing it every x amount of time is probably a good idea anyway so new ones can be added.

Ladies and gentlemen, former reality TV star and convicted felon Donald Trump

Not as far as “dumb” per se but I would accept “less smart” in exchange for physical buttons and a removable battery.

Having had an unfortunate amount of personal experience with a diagnosed narcissist, can confirm that that is a highly effective strategy. You can’t ‘logic’ someone who’s operating in a completely different reality and justified outrage just results in them playing the victim. Laughing at them makes them completely fucking short circuit. Hell, look at how disproportionate Trump’s response was to SNL satirizing him.

“Don’t you think he looks…tired?”

Their whole strategy is basically breaking things then chucking them at the next guy and running away shouting “you touched it last!” so yeah, that tracks.

Maybe it’s right to left and he’s made a maga manga.

There was Big Bob’s Beepers on Hey Arnold.

Ah, fair. My bet is if it happens, it’ll be mid rant at one of Trumps little fascism pep rallies.

Because that’s the line that might actually lose them some supporters and they know it. There’s still a pretty big chunk of that camp that likes to pretend “oh, that was out of context” or “oh, they didn’t mean it that way, just about insert specific situation here”. If they go all in with straight up racial slurs those deflections don’t really work anymore.

That being said, I wouldn’t put it past Trump to slip up on that soon because he’s been starting to get a bit unhinged even by his usual standard as of late.

“And you can’t come to my birthday party anymore!”

Yeah, there’s interviews of his floating around from the early 90s where he was still pretty clearly a self important fucking idiot, but he was significantly more coherent.
