Today's Tiedrich rant: elderly fuckwit shits the bed in Asia [View all]



Link: https://www.jefftiedrich.com/p/elderly-fuckwit-shits-the-bed-in

here’s a fun thought experiment. what you do you imagine would happen if you took a deteriorating dotard in poor health and cognitive decline, flew him to the other side of the world and subjected him to a series of high-stakes meetings and ceremonies?

actually, you don’t have to imagine. just watch this befuddled old dipshit wander dazedly during a ceremony in Tokyo.

Length 0:20 sec.


that’s just embarrassing. the squirrel inside Donny’s head gets repeatedly distracted by some shiny object, and Japan’s Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi has to keep taking him by the hand and guiding him to where he’s supposed to go.

does Donny seem drugged to you? is he on something? this is our diminished president, folks. naturally, after this video went viral, the White House shit roofing nails and accused the person who posted it of deceptive editing.

Why didn’t you share the full video, dumbass?” the official White House Rapid Response 47 account replied to X user Acyn, along with a longer version of the event./i]


Yet their video showed Takaichi doing more guiding of Trump. hang on, White House Rapid Response, we can do better than ‘sharing the full video.’ we can show you a longer clip from a different angle, and holy fuckballs, Batman — it’s worse.

Length 0:42 sec.


Christ on a corn cob, Sundowning Grandpa Befuddlepants hasn’t the slightest clue what planet he’s on. seriously, subjecting this goofus to days of events halfway around the world is just elder abuse at this point.
