Can anyone explain how this is supposed to win votes? 
Trump is Green Lantern, Hulk Hogan, a Jedi Space Force Commander, a fast food window clerk, and the greatest president in history.
Over the weekend of September 6, 2026, Trump flooded his feed with nearly 40 posts in a span of just two hours, consisting heavily of AI-generated imagery and memes.
Green Lantern

Question of the Day
Q: Can an anyone explain how this is supposed to win votes?
A: No one can because it will cost votes.
The war, tariffs, price of diesel, and inflation in general all all extremely unpopular. Antics like this cannot possibly help. All of it shows up in the polls.
What’s Happening?
Trump needs to envision himself as a Jedi knight or Green Lantern to mask his failures on the war, on inflation, on the Supreme Court killing his tariffs, and the Fed not delivering the rate cuts he wants.
The MAGA cult base will support Trump no matter what he says or does, no matter how idiotic or contradictory.
Non-MAGA republicans defend or ignore this just as Democrats ignored the declining mental facilities of Biden.
However, the polls speak for themselves.
Gallup Party Affiliation
Note that Gallup Party Affiliation Favors Democrats by Largest Margin Since 2015
Let’s review what this means historically.
The situation is hopeless for Republicans because Trump will never change who he is. If anything, expect more desperation and ideas that backfire.
Please read the above post for details.
Childlike. Kids dress up as Superman or other Marvel “heroes.” One doesn’t expect one president to do it when they are 80. He’s a sicko.
Spiderman in Minnesota and the character from Scream movies roaming the neighborhoods with a hammer, seems like the thing to do now.
the best film of 2025 was “the apprentice”. watch it. once you understand his mentor was the sick bastard closeted self loathing homo, who taught him how to “win” at life, you will understand the donald. in nyc we figured out by the 1980s he was an outright fraud and asshole. the flyover morons still haven’t caught on. dumbfucks will inherit the earth, the good lord wrote in the bible.
He’s just trying to distract from his binge spending ways. Typical new yorker
At least it shows Trump has a sense of humor anyway. That’s the problem with all you earnest leftist types, most of you trying to fight way out of your intellectual weight grade. Hillary fell into that trap when she called Trump’s supporters “deplorables,” and Trump happily greeted the crowd at his next rally as “all you deplorables.”
Unlike Trump, I don’t think our civilization is salvageable. As Machiavelli said, sometimes a society is so corrupt that you would just have to kill unimaginable numbers of people to straighten it out. It’s like God drowning everybody in the Noah story. In our times, you would have to have a military coup, martial law, and the execution of everyone in a position of authority today. There are still good people, and even sensible people, but you won’t find them in positions of authority.
HA HA HA. glad there are morons out there still doing the lefty v righty, blue v red, pom pom panties kick line. thanks for the chuckle. i do agree this evil empire is collapsing and not a thing anyone can do to stop that. a great thing really. was in russia in 1990s after the last evil empire collapsed and it was glorious
Blame LaRussa for all that lefty – righty crap.
A great start: lead with insults, not arguments. Right off, this is unworthy of sixth grade playground discourse. The attempted pseudo-intellectual touches are laughable. Your mind wanders all over about six ill-scribbled maps before stumbling off the edge. Thanks, I needed some comic relief.
Stay off the glue before noon, partner.
Glue? He’ll have you know the only thing he huffs is children’s underwear, and that you’re “probably jealous” of that.
I am loathe to admit it, but you have a point.
Any sign of humor is a token of hope in the neurotic and the insane alike.
Reminder to everyone that Arthur Orwell here openly admits to being a pedophile. I wonder who he considers “good people”?

i thought this was a got me in the first part but the shit just kept flowing
OMG! Now I see it! Your right. It’s sooooooo funny! Now, how ya gonna lower inflation? How ya gonna end the war(s)? What about the tariffs? Are they bringing down the deficit yet? Oh, nothing Mr. President? 2 hours wasted shit posting on the toilet. I think when Hilary mentioned deplorables she was including Taco himself. And well, I think January 6th illustrated she got it right. Now, please tell me how you think Trump might actually believe civilization is salvageable? Shit posting for 2 hours just seems like adding gasoline to the fire. Something you’d do while watching the world burn. You give him waaaaaaaaaay too much credit.
I don’t think it’s funny at all, but you have to keep your cool in even the worst situations, and one way to do that is to find something to laugh about. I don’t begrudge The Donald any time he may spend making jokes at the expense of silly people who think they are smart. I’m just glad that there is somebody there who can think and do things, unlike a lot of your presidents.
Think and do things? Please tell me you’re not talking about The Donald???
i have predicted since i saw donald in 2015 at an early rally, he has the charisma of benito and adolph. i figured at the end of the day, he’ll end up like one of those two. either killed off by pissed off people while trying to flee like benito, or donald will just off himself at the end. many nihilists and narcissists kill themselves after being exposed for frauds and when they realize everyone really just hates them. i bet a few pals on this a few years ago. i suspect i’ll collect as a winner.
Mussolini for me is the best historical match. ‘Dolf could at least in some awful, horrifying sense, get things done, He pulled Mussolini’s fat out of the fire on Greece and (for awhile) North Africa. Benito was all poser and no patience, like this guy.
Also a lot in common with Silvio Berlusconi
bingo. i vote in italia and amerika. said the same when the donald came down the escalator. our berlusconi. bunga bunga girls…….
Remember that Adolf had Germans to carry out his orders, whereas Benito only had Italians. Cavour could have been as great a man as Bismarck if he had had Krupp behind him. Maybe, when all is said and done, the Italians were wiser.
I think comparing The Donald to them is just silly. You could compare him to your President Reagan and Mrs Thatcher in Britain, or maybe to your Dick Nixon if he fails in his efforts to save his country.
What was the Donald recently said? “Stranger things have happened.” Is it possible, if faced with impeachment (small chance) he would resign and leave the country? Or is just going to drag it out and watch the LUS burn gym afar???
Hey Mish, have you seen the 8 and counting pictures of New Mexico as “new America”? Looks like the mad king has another brilliant idea!
I don’t think he understands that New Mexico is a US state
What’s next, change District of Columbia to District of America?
I don’t see why not! Columbia is a dirty south american country after all!
What about British Columbia? Until I visited your part of the world, I always had a vague idea that it was one of those small British territories tucked in amongst the Latin giants in the southern parts of your two continents.
That’s because you’re both retarded AND a pedophile.
No it’s not you ignoramus
He’s going to change North Dakota and South Dakota into North America and South America! That’ll shoiw those dirty knucks! AND own the libs!
We went from Dark Brandon to this…
As I keep on repeating, the US is an Idiocracy and has been for quite a while.
“The years passed, mankind became stupider at a frightening rate. Some had high hopes, but sadly the greatest minds and resources where focused on conquering hair loss and prolonging erections.” -Idiocracy (the movie, or real life?)
They forgot Griffin & Dumbledore.
Trump is just another politician but he seems to be really good at lighting up his opposition. I can’t believe how many people cannot be objective in their views of Trump and buy into the outrage that he manufactures. Having a mature perspective requires objective thinking and not emotional reactions like this article does. Everyone is turning into a little girl.
“the president is so demented he’s smearing his shit on the walls, how dreadful!”
“Well you see that’s actually part of his brilliant plan to fool migrants into self deporting by tactically using the shit stench to drive them off!”
words words words words words
tell that to the 200 dead school girls in persia
WTF are you talking about??? You actually think Trump is a serious person??? To have a mature perspective you first need to be dealing with a mature person. You do know the difference between IQ and EQ???
I thought the deranged and demented pos thought he was king herod whose job was to persecute as many Christians as he could find?
Israel has been bulldozing Christian towns in southern Lebanon, which Trump and Rubio tolerate (or support), and Huckabee fell for the ‘ol “Judeo-Christian” line.

israel is a bitch colony and useful idiot for pax amerika. they would be done without our money and guns. they won’t make it to 100 years anniversary.
Is there anything this guy does these days that’s not bizarre?
meanwhile: Trump administration threatens to cut federal agencies’ support for Smithsonian

He gave us a brief distraction from the war, inflation, fuel prices etc. sadly what we really needed was a Trump-free day, week, month, year, life.
My international friends see the US as the rabid raccoon to not be involved with
Their future lies elsewhere– places that do not flip to insanity every 4 year
Or depend on the Depends- carrying Ivanka- lite for insight into the mad kings world view
Don’t be silly. Your international friends have their own problems with government. Government is a naturally evil phenomenon, because it is always owned by people who tell lies and people who use force. Democracy can ameliorate that but only when you have a grown-up electorate, which you only have in exceptional circumstances.
Trump does this deliberately to 1) make the leftists heads explode and, 2) to make the country’s enemies think “we never know what he’ll do next.” Mish has swallowed 1) hook, line and sinker. Meanwhile, household net worth hits new highs, inflation 73% below Biden and the border is the most secure in history.
Sad how you think Trump is actually doing this
Did you think the teevee sitcoms were outpourings of spontaneous impromptu wit? Not scripted, not planned?
Who is being entertained with this stupidity?
Of course, it is the stupid
Are Trump’s replies to reporters scripted? Didn’t poor old Joe have to be kept away from reporters because he wouldn’t know what to say? Are you sure you know who is stupid here?
Hopefully retired for poor judgment
Household networth is a scalar variable and alone doesn’t capture any meaningful information. You need to look at distributions, such as a wealth distribution, and then you’ll see most people’s household networth has actually fallen, like it has continued to fall for the last 50 years thanks to 1970’s neoliberal policies.
I ought to ban you for being a MAGA moron but I will leave it up so that everyone can laugh at you.
Nasty. Do you know who Caitlin Johnstone (from Australia) is? She has banned me.
Great leader has ensured no one can buy or sell a house! MAGA!!!!!
No adult head can explode at an elderly man fantasizing about comic books for por pubescent boys. Rather, heads nod with pity at the pathetic spectacle.
It’s less the comic books and more the fact that a man with such a wicked, bigoted, hateful worldview thinks he is anything but a comic book villain.
Thanks for posting. I am fascinated at how MAGA people look at the world. I would have never believed that people could still believe Trump is a genius without seeing someone actually say and justify it.
flyover amerikan logic. our boys haven’t won a war in 80 years, except for the great world war for grenada. this evil empire is crumbling. don pederast drumpf is the perfect asshole for our times.
Mish knows exactly what he’s doing.
Lol some idiot still peddling 4d chess in 2026!
Second childhood stuff. Trump’s boy-like power fantasies (and those of his base) never got far from it to begin with. Let’s just hope it doesn’t migrate to some even more absurd war-adjacent stuff.
Or night-time wandering……
Yep, compensates for the heel spur.
What is it with Usonians and super heroes, some sort of collective fantasizing? I don’t know any of such characters. Never had thee least interest in them since a tender age.
Being young at heart isn’t all bad. I think it’s better than being fake wise. One good line I recall from the Book of Proverbs is “Be not wise in your own eyes.” Learning to pose as an adult doesn’t make you one. For some of us, acting the fool about things that don’t matter is a welcome relief from having to think hard about the things that do matter. Maybe Trump is in that category.
Lots of complaining in the comments but as I said from the very beginning….You boarded the Trumptanic, the ports of call are Misery, Despair, Depression, Anger, Regret, and for quite a few, Bankruptcy.
There is no getting off the ship, it has a four year run and you’ve got 866 days left of this “pleasure” cruise. Absolutely no refunds and no getting off early!
Some of us took it upon ourselves to get off on our own life boat and are skipping the ports but you suckers and losers need to stay on till the end.
You reap what you sow and you sail the sails and crew you boarded. Enjoy the ride S&L.
where some see misery, others see opportunity and smooth seas ahead as our empire is in retreat worldwide. austin TX r/e is down 30% off the boil. plenty of other spots coast to coast will be offering great opportunities for young folks starting out and middle aged north of 35 and even us geezers north of 50 and into boomerville. please keep reporting on world wide opportunities and domestically to trade this little MAGA cult out burst by flyover nit wits. i still chuckle that fat old donald from queens is a cult leader and POTUS and of course a pederast.
I’m seeing huge value where I’m at now. It’s like Austin was back in 1990’s. Low cost housing, fast tech and amazing art scene here. I know, you want me to tell you where it is but not doing because as soon as I type it thousands of people will flock here.
Maybe after I buy a few units I’ll tell ya!
You seem to believe you have a huge network of MishTalk readers hanging on your every word? Maybe you do. Hopefully you are able to fend off the paparazzi there in SE Asia.
actually, i don’t give a fuck where you are or this wonderful opportunity. but i do wish you the best of luck. i do. you are very smart and i enjoy your commentary. i have something very valuable, i attained many decades ago in the rich world. enough.
Though your political points are salient and insightful, the constant self-patting on the back you do is asinine.
It reeks of a guy pretending to be rich. I know people with real wealth, wealth in the low seven digit range, and they never feel the need to remind anyone of that fact.
I see we’re on day at least 200 of MPO claiming he’s moved somewhere and is fabulously rich and this is sooo amazing but he can’t get where because everyone would move there or something.
Criticize all you want. We’re on day 200 of Creamer whining about Trump and not doing a damn thing about it. Not just you but the rest of the collective whiners here.
If exit strategy isn’t for you for whatever reason, fine. Tell us how you’re improving YOUR situation cuz coming here and whining daily doesn’t help anyone. It doesn’t fix anything but just illustrates complete ineptness.
Trump has 866 more days so I guess it’ll be 866 more days of whining.
Oh and if your “solution” is to vote democrats, lol, let me know how that works out for you.
Do worry, Trump, Walrus, GOP, and democrats will find a way to make things even worse.™
Voted in a good rep who speaks for me, got in good with my community to defend ourselves if anything goes sideways, and watched as the DSA overtook the Democrat old guard with ease (and you’ll see those hits keep coming). Things are looking pretty good for my cause while you pretend you have money and run like a coward.
I am a loved member of a community, you don’t seem like anyone would miss you even if you could move. Which I doubt you can since you conveniently can’t even name the general region you moved to and have repeatedly claimed you’re “getting ready” or “just moved” or sometimes that you’ve been there for a while. Either back yourself up or be laughed at.
He is a flat out failure both as a president and as a human being.
He knows this and this is his way of coping with this knowledge.
As with the waning Adolf, Trump will blame the nation that failed him, or Melania or whoever, and himself absolutely last: never.
Yes. Those who are loyal Trumpsters better watch out. Trump will be driving a large bus with Monster Truck tires and they will all end up under it.
those fat dumb rednecks will ask for more after the first tire tracks on their families heads are still smoking rubber…..
Not just a failure.
LOSER
is the correct terminology.
“Trump needs to envision himself as a Jedi knight or Green Lantern to mask his failures ”
Like some law of opposites, it’s always opposites with him. Watch out if he sometime downplays his power.
He’s an entertaining old man!
Wonder if it’s Steven Cheung’s job to help Trump with the late-night AI stuff.
No, it’s not even entertaining, outside of a “how did it come to this” framing.
This is Just slop. He was funnier term 1, when he thought of an occasional joke
He put the ring on the correct finger to give a big FU to america
Ohhhhh,
That’s before taking his daily medication.
He is craftily prepping the 8 to 12 year old crowd for the 2036 elections?
Perhaps it’s more of that advanced planning by the Republicans.
or for his billionaire buddies
His followers were already emotionally frozen right there.
As well as intellectually
Trump seems to believe the saying that “there is no such thing as bad publicity”. As long as people are reacting to him or talking about him, he’s happy. But his actions serious demean the presidency and degrade relations with other countries. I imagine other leaders thinking, “I have to put up with this unhinged, petulant child across the table from me because he has a big military and can hurt my country’s economy. But I will never put myself in a position of vulnerability to the US again.”
The only explanation for this behavior is that Trump is a real life version of Eric Cartman.
While some waste time pondering the bullsht
other things of relevance may be happening
I don’t think he will finish his 4 year term.
as long as he is doing the bidding for the CIA and wall street, he’s fine, for another 2 plus years. so far, so good, for the pederast old grifter.
From your thoughts to God’s ears. 🙏🏻
I only wish you would replace the name “Trump” with his true weight:
“The President of the most powerful nation on Earth.”
… gave up on the “blows me a kiss from his limo” dream?
It may not be when he is done with it.
“… who Depicts Himself as Green Lantern and Hulk Hogan.” No dignity or gravitas problem there? Or cognitive/mental health issue?
No one got the irony 🙁
Try harder.
It’s hard to get irony when this is exactly how his shills talk to this day
Standup comedy is hard!
Maybe you should emulate Jojo?! I laugh at every one of his posts.
biden and trump. 2 old warmongering self dealing, senile old assholes. who pardoned their entire criminal families. it’s almost as if democracy works. when i look around amerika i see the biggest voters are countless old warmongering senile old assholes. bombs away with our doddering old empire of assholes.
what you refer to as democracy is actually socialism
public schools? you think socialism or fascism or classical liberalism(libertarianism in usa) cannot have a democracy? that’s precious. never change. i hope you are active in the markets. no wonder trading the past 35 years is so easy.
ps. are public schools socialism ?
You mean public goods, generally? Roads? The military? Other public infrastructure?
Yes because they teach woke things like pronouns and art instead of Bible verses and molestation.
I went to public schools. They are far more dedicated to students who are athletes than scientists, but learning is ultimately self-initiated. The poor have more access to information than at any other time in history. The Internet, for all its problems, has lots of good information available for free. Every individual needs to take responsibility for their own education.
Can the Trump cabinet just have pity on the rest of us and invoke the 25th Amendment…
The prerequisite for being in the Trump cabinet to begin with is participating irrevocably in his personal fantasy world.
It’s like being a made man: you have too much smeared already on your hands, and you have nowhere else to go.
I agree Peelo, Never seen such a bunch of spineless people…they could give the humble slug a run for money as far as having a spine is concerned.
Hell the Russian’s & Chinese are supplying the Iranian’s targeting information about the location of the US carriers maybe they are even supplying the hypersonic missles.
The next time the warfare budget comes up and anyone wants to quote a number, please first go to Catherine Austin Fitts website, read her work about missing trillions,
and ask yourself where you read your number and what it meansor doesnt.
When i tried to provide a direct link, this comment platform prevented it.
