might be a bit autistic
Has presided over the construction of the largest high speed rail network in the world
Yea I can see it
the american mind can’t comprehend what it’s like to have a president that knows how to read
Reminder that George W. Bush started a policy of daily terror security briefings because he didn’t want to read the reports
George W. Bush started a policy of daily terror
And that policy is still going strong
This is a reference to the fact that 20% of Americans are functionally illiterate and 54% of Americans read at or below a 6th grade level.
Autism or not I imagine Trump is quite off putting to look at for long periods of time
Or short periods of time
No joke, he is in half of the photos of posts in the fediverse and I just can’t stand it, I have started to avoid news groups because I’m so tired of looking at his face. I still want to get up to speed on the news though. I wonder if they could just post photos of turds instead with the news, it would be more rewarding. Maybe some kind of filter on photos, when the Cheeto face appears it’s substituted with a turd. Is there such a filter?
his special interest is outperforming the U.S economy in every way
Number go up but for all the people of China
i’m gonna start drawing random lines on photos to see who gets mad
GOOD bit
Kinda shit you do when you forget that cameras are physical objects situated in physical space, each photo a deliberate choice made by the person using it.
China has an autistic leader
Yet one more way they kick America’s ass

He’s probably reading Hexbear while “The Leader of the Free World” is sitting just there.
He’s just like me fr fr
Yeah I heard Xi requests a roll-up of the posts of the day (and comments) by ‘new’ every morning. Such that he can review it when meetings get boring.
Trump is the physical embodiment of “have a firm handshake and print your resume on nice paper” experience, skill, and reputation do NOT matter
And be rich
President Trump shows his penis to the world, President Xi shows his penis to nobody. This is because China is woke and won’t buy soybeans. I am making fart noises with my mouth, thhhbbbbppppptttttt, and I am a very serious person and cultural commentator.
cats are more comfortable when you make eye contact once then go back to whatever you were doing
I know somebody in here needs to hear this: if they aren’t yearning for you the way Trump yearns for Xi, I’m sorry they aren’t the one.
To be honest, I feel like you need crazy autism to get at the top of a communist party, just from my experience. Like, you just need some kind of crazy dog in you.
Also holding the record for the living in a cave > President of China any%. That’s not a category neurotypical people speedrun.
I mean, not a single one of the great revolutionary figureheads of history was entirely neurotypical. The way Mao writes, at least how it comes across in translation… that man had no interest in flowery prose, he just wanted to communicate important information as concisely as possible. That’s Autistic Communication 101 right there. Stalin was similar in his writing, but also just… so many “eccentric” behaviours that scream autism. No neurotypical man with no sensory issues wears the same clothes that much, or pitches a fit over a pair of ratty but comfortable boots. But I would do both of those things in his position, so. He had a comfort movie he knew every line to. He had a special interest in Russian history and would personally yell at Soviet filmmakers who got real historical details wrong in historical fiction.
Look. All of these guys were probably very neurodivergent, with a special interest in Marxist-Leninist theory and the practice that goes with it. I would be utterly unsurprised to discover that the upper echelons of basically every serious ML vanguard party today are all some form of neurodivergent, and you pretty much have to be to pass the official or unofficial tests and examinations for party positions of power and importance. We make excellent revolutionaries and we are very good at the actual planning of running a centrally planned economy. Or at supervising the building of train infrastructure and other transportation and roadways. We have strong senses of justice and we like spreadsheets. You’d be surprised how much of communism in practice is a giant fucking spreadsheet.
My life might be a lie if Marx didn’t have a special interest in capital
Oh, he absolutely did. No neurotypical person could have written that much on one topic. And his general behaviour, even once he was no longer a student, keeping odd hours, drinking to excess, infrequently washing or changing his linens, ignoring all else in favour of his present hyperfixation, needing monetary support from a comrade because he struggled to hold down a job or even do temporary paid work… I know at least one autistic person who’s exactly like that today, minus the drinking to excess because she doesn’t drink at all - family history of alcohol issues, past addictive personality shown with less dangerous but similar substances, she’s just not going to risk it.
The way Mao writes, at least how it comes across in translation… that man had no interest in flowery prose, he just wanted to communicate important information as concisely as possible. That’s Autistic Communication 101 right there.
We came to the same conclusion by different means, lol
“This time we will make something that is both beautiful and delicious.”

It might be seen as a lowbrow insult, but this is just walking into the remark that Trump barely reads except for social media bullshit.
