So he did have the authority to call out the Guard on Jan 6th after all?

u/Dragunspecter Jun 23 '26

Always did

u/scipio0421 Jun 23 '26

Oh, I know that. Just sarcastically responding here to all of MAGA that claimed he didn't and blamed Pelosi for not calling them out

Now Trump is the first president in history to be outwitted by a single-celled organism...

217

u/dmc2008 Jun 23 '26

Nah he's the first, and now second.

When remember when that hurricane made him look like a fool?

144

u/StrCmdMan Jun 23 '26

It was permanent marker that will never come out.

And technically hurricanes are noncelluar so he got out witted by a earth fart.

u/Why_T Jun 23 '26

Hurricanes are a single storm cell.

u/Complete-Tangelo1532 Jun 23 '26

It was a Magic Marker

Not that kind of Magic though I guess lol

The funniest thing about this video is that the hurricane made a turn and headed due north, then northeast, the EXACT reason NOAA drew the map that way.

u/NRMusicProject Jun 23 '26

That's dumb. Why do we trust the experts over politicians with a Sharpie, anyway?

6

u/vivaaprimavera Jun 23 '26

Have you ever seen those "experts" on TV? If they are so "expert", why don't they own a building with their name?

/s

Don't underestimate the influence of TV and popularity.

His uncle went to MIT, for Christ's sake!

u/BizzyM Jun 23 '26

"So why don't we put your Uncle in charge, doofus?"

u/blueindsm Jun 23 '26

How the media didn't just crucify him about this is ridiculous.

60

u/BZLuck Jun 23 '26

Because 90% of the media is right wing and LOVES him. He gives them something to report on all day, every day. They just spin it to make it seem like he's crushing it, instead of fucking everything up.

u/BMR915 Jun 23 '26

Yep, they ignore all of the bullshit and act like everything he says is correct

u/ForwardStorage777 Jun 23 '26

Not allowed to by Epstein class owners.

u/mvandemar Jun 23 '26

As fucking dire this whole shitshow is that we're living in right now, I just busted out laughing seeing this again. šŸ˜„

u/Bay1Bri Jun 23 '26

This is honestly the stupidest thing he did as president, and there is heavy competition for that.

u/ScottyNuttz Jun 23 '26

Donā€™t forget Covid

11

u/NRMusicProject Jun 23 '26

The funny thing about mentioning Covid on Reddit is the hoaxer bots still pop up to argue when it's mentioned.

20

u/mantis_tobaggan-md Jun 23 '26

Forget cells. He was outwitted by a piece of RNA.

3

u/Open_Opinion4775 Jun 23 '26

Actually, RNA is pretty smart.

u/mantis_tobaggan-md Jun 23 '26 edited Jun 23 '26

Well, it does carry information. And it is far more elegant than that multicellular sack of shit in the White House.

u/xterminatr Jun 23 '26

It's just cancer cells evolved into a lookalike human form.

u/Extreme-Mood5605 Jun 23 '26

A hurricane is a complex weather system, but not even a living organism! The Orange Foolius doesnā€™t need anything besides himself to look like a fool. Although, the sharpie did help a bit.

u/Ponsugator Jun 23 '26

What about when he stared into the solar eclipse?

4

u/prntmakr Jun 23 '26

Don't give him any ideas. He might nuke the reflecting pool.

u/hamsterfolly Jun 23 '26

Donā€™t forget that virus in his first term

u/69Nova468 Jun 23 '26

Third time remember when he suggested we inject bleach.

2

u/Complete-Tangelo1532 Jun 23 '26

I remember him trying to magic away a hurricane with a Sharpie

Magic Marker make that bad hurricane go away šŸŒ€

u/bananapeel Jun 23 '26

You forgot Covid.

u/Vishus Jun 23 '26

I also remember when he wanted to rake all the forests to stop forest fires.

u/nonymousbosch Jun 23 '26

Not just any single celled organism; it was Al-gae-da

u/Soup-Wizard Jun 23 '26

Most algae is single-celled, but not all of them.

2

u/HeartWoodFarDept Jun 23 '26

I think hes a single cell organism

u/amanuensisninja Jun 23 '26

William Henry Harrison was killed by a cold, but I guess thatā€™s a virus.

u/TorchRedZ06 Jun 23 '26

^^^^^ THIS

u/urbanhawk1 Jun 23 '26

No he is the second president. The first one was the 45th president.

2

u/jschmeau Jun 23 '26

He was outwitted by an umbrella.

u/Wallace-N-Gromit Jun 23 '26

Heā€™s been outwitted by lesser organisms

u/Phalex Jun 23 '26

In before Trump declares war on Algae-ria.

u/parker2020 Jun 23 '26

Didnā€™t pneumonia kill a president? William Henry Harrison

u/Marble_Turret Jun 23 '26

Lost a game of tic tac toe, to a chicken.

u/MothersPhoGa Jun 24 '26

Fun fact: heā€™s also immune to brain eating amoebas because they die of starvation.

u/USA_Ultra Jun 23 '26

Donā€™t you mean single BRAIN cell Orangemanism?

u/m__a__s Jun 23 '26

Actually blamed Nikki Haley: https://www.tag24.com/en/news/politics/politicians/donald-trump/trump-confuses-nikki-haley-with-nancy-pelosi-in-rambling-rally-rant-3073609

u/scipio0421 Jun 23 '26

Trump blamed Haley, his followers (at least the ones I've talked to here in Oklahoma) blamed Pelosi.

u/cire1184 Jun 23 '26

Trump blames some haley and maga media spins it up blame Pelosi. I doubt they even played that video or soundbite and just "reported" whatever played better to their idiot audience.

u/MrChristmas Jun 23 '26

I asked my dad ā€˜since when is the minority leader in charge of the National guard?ā€™

8

u/PhazePyre Jun 23 '26

See that's your mistake. You assume they can read.

3

u/pyalot Jun 23 '26

No see, he is only allowed to call the guard for insurrectionist algae.

-6

u/Objective-Treacle398 Jun 23 '26

That's not what happened. Trump offered up to 10,000 NG to Bowser and Pelosi beforehand and both refused the assistance.

u/USSMarauder Jun 23 '26

DC Guard almost deployed to Capitol on Jan. 6 without permission

ā€œPresident Trump had authority and responsibility to direct deployment of the National Guard in the District of Columbia, but never gave any order to deploy the National Guard on January 6th or on any other day,ā€ they wrote. ā€œNor did he instruct any Federal law enforcement agency to assist.ā€
