Dementia is really taking hold on poor old pervert.
“Old felon says nonsense things.”
Suffering from lifelong signs of chronic syphilis
It’s just regular old dementia.
At this point it isn’t even just Trump. Feels like half of Congress is geriatrics who don’t know where they are being weekend at Bernie’s-ed by a staff to vote on things they didn’t read and don’t understand.
Why can’t the McDonald’s take him yet???
Oh yea, armed military police really make me wanna shop till I drop. How fun!
President Donald Trump posted to his Truth Social on Tuesday, saying to “CALL IN THE TROOPS” to save “The Miracle Mile Shopping Center in Chicago” – which doesn’t exist.
“The Miracle Mile Shopping Center in Chicago, once considered our Nation’s BEST, now has a more than 28% vacancy factor, and is ready to call it quits unless something is done about the murder and crime, which is prevalent throughout the City,” Trump wrote, adding:
CALL IN THE TROOPS, FAST, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE! “Just the News”
Media outlets were quick to report that no such shopping center exists, however. “Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and Monroeville, Pennsylvania, all have shopping malls or centers by that name, but none exist in Chicago or even in Illinois. There is, however, a Magnificent Mile shopping district in Chicago, which the president likely was referring to. The Magnificent Mile spans 13 blocks in downtown Chicago and offers high-end shopping and fine dining,” wrote Kelly Corbett for Syracuse.com.
Don’t forget the office vacancy rate in downtown Chicago matches his number. So someone told him there was 28% office vacancy, and someone told him there was a “Magnificent Mile” shopping district, and he conflated it to miracle mile shopping center 28% vacant because crime
which the president likely was referring to
I doubt it
Leave it to the US media to sanewash Trump and his nonsense.
He’s calling for them to protect a real mall, he got the name of the mall wrong (and not even that egregiously). There’s plenty of legitimately horrifying acts to criticize this fucker for, why are we resorting to the same kind of disingenuous truth-stretching rhetoric conservatives rely on to rile their degenerate base?
I wouldn’t even call it a mall. It’s a shopping district.
It’s pretty much a street with a bunch of expensive trendy outlet shops on it. Like UniQlo, Gucci, Breitling, or whatever. Same trendy shit that’s always grouped together.
Protect it from what, vacancy? Like, sure he got the name a little wrong. But call in the troops to… Uh… Open up stores in the district? I think that’s the crazy part. The headline should be more like “Trump orders a call to arms in a business district because stores are empty because the economy is in shambles and other reasons too” or something like that. I dunno, I’m not a headline writer.
I think it’s about “crime”… in his mind.
If he’s going to use it as an impetus for deploying troops domestically then he should at least be able to name it correctly. If he can’t even do that then it’s pretty easy to argue his cognitive decline is progressing.
That’s not really the point. Sure you could argue this, but why the hell are we wasting our time arguing about if the stupid detail of him mixing up a word is actually relevant, instead of talking about the "he’s trying to send troops to defend a street" thing? That is my point. I don’t care if people think it’s a sign of cognitive decline, I care that you’re choosing to spend your time talking about that instead of the thing that really pressingly matters.
The point is that you think it’s okay that a fascist demogogue trying to occupy his own country is too stupid to get a simple name right and is entirely delusional from top to bottom
Oh hey, it’s you again! How’ve you been? Still doing the “aggressively present some truly spectacular misinterpretation of what I’ve written” thing? Glad that’s working out for you.
Aaaaanyways, I’ve never said or even tacitly implied that it’s okay that trump is stupid, nor have I ever made anything like a hinting gesture that he isn’t stupid, nor have I said that this isn’t evidence of his mental decline, nor have I said that his overall mental decline isn’t relevant.
As is becoming tradition, I invite you to give it another go.
What mall is he trying to talk about?
According to the article, he’s talking about Magnificent Mile (which is apparently more of a street with stores on it than a classic shopping mall, just to add to the weirdness of him offering to deploy the military to defend it)
So not a real mall. Got it
It is a mall, being a broad street lined with shops and a promenade (though not wholly closed to traffic), but it’s not a classic “shopping mall” as the term is most commonly used in the US (that being a massive temple complex built to honor consumerism and featuring some very bad food). Which makes it even more patently absurd for trump to want to send troops to defend what is essentially just… a street.
(note that trump never actually calls it a mall, he describes it as a “Shopping Center”, adding to my annoyance over this headline…)
Miracle Mile / Magnificent Mile… I’ll give him a pass on that one.
I’ve actually BEEN there and couldn’t remember the name either. Of course it was 30 years ago.
Miracle Mile is a real thing that exists. In Los Angeles. Even when I’m there, it’s forgettable.
Who uses the full name? We just say “mag mile.”
Lousy reporting. Don’t refute or even explain the real reason for the vacancies, just a casual mention that they are their own worst enemies. What IS the murder rate there? How much crime is actually there,? What policies caused this? Without more details all the report is doing is pointing out that Trump said Miracle instead of Magnificent, which really isn’t that big of a deal.
I just wish he was gone. Fucking shitstain.
Release the Epstein files!
