      Listen I hate trump being a word salad clown more than average but this was barely a recognizable impression of an Indian. I’m super disappointed and I was shredded to find out it wasn’t even on the level of trump making fun of the handicap. It was like watching an episode of Jerry Seinfeld doing the stand-up intro to his show. Perhaps less racist than that.

        Not a thing the President of the United States should be doing, but that was nothing, at all. He imitated the man, for a single phrase, nothing outlandish. I do that all the time telling stories of personal interactions.

        Anyway, we’ll both be banned from lemmy for “inciting racism” or some such. 🤷🏻

          You should what he shouldn’t be doing fucking little kids. Or protecting anyone who has. Release the Epstein files.

            The hell are you on about?! I’m merely stating that little imitation was nothing to get up in arms about. Did you actually watch the video? I had expected something utterly heinous.

            FFS, the prime minister of Japan chased Trump around a palace today, corralling him like a toddler. Then he ranted to our seamen about fucking magnets. I can hardly be upset that he quoted Modi in his actual accent.

            I’ve been banned 100 times for speaking, uh, loudly about this administration. Go check my posts if you think I’m MAGA.

              Perhaps you should think both things are bad and completely bizarre thing for a leader of a country to do? You should stop becoming normalised to his weirdness. It is not normal, and never will be.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    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.

      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.
