The cherry picking on when Trump is serious and when he’s not is mind numbing

We can’t take Trump seriously but simultaneously his word is gospel.

Trump was just kidding when he said he wants a third term. He’s just joking around—he doesn’t actually want that.

Trump is trolling with his tariffs—there’s just a negotiation tactic.

Trump is kidding about invading Canada and Greenland—he just wants to make liberals angry.

Trump is just joshing around when he calls himself a king—don’t take it too seriously.

I do not want a fucking president who trolls. Why can’t they understand that? This behavior would not be acceptable in any other context. I’m imagining Barack Obama “kidding” that he will invade Canada. He would’ve been impeached and rightfully so.

And then when we call out his batshit rhetoric, they get mad at us for not “getting the joke”. As if it’s our fault that we take the President of the United States at his word when he says things? And when Trump actually does the things he said he was going to do, suddenly it was never a joke and “this is a good thing actually.”

Fucking ghouls.
