In a characteristically rambling post on Truth Social, Mr Trump said that the indictment ‘hoax’ was the fault of misfits – and mutants
Tone down the maliciousness a bit, and Trump would be a good inspiration for Alpha Complex’s Friend Computer.
Yeah, but he couldn’t get anything more than Orange security clearance.
Well at least “mutant” carries the recognition that it’s not a matter of choice. If the tiny trans population is solely responsible for the indictment, then surely that means we’re superior mutants at that 😏
You could say… super mutants.

That must be why Republicans are trying so hard to reduce the budget. They want to free up money so they can spend it building Sentinels.
Another dog whistle from the tangerine.
Republicans talking about Trans people like Nazis talking about Jews episode #853
More like “Republicans talking about Trans people like Nazis talking about Trans people”
The first of the famous nazi book burnings were targeted at an institute studying and trying to understand trans people.

Yeah I’m borrowing that phrase if you don’t mind chef’s kiss
Fascists are inherently derivative. That’s why they inevitably burn themselves out, they were all out of ideas to begin with.
This makes a lot of sense. But when I look at terrorist Putin, or Winnie the Poo whatever the fuck, seems like people don’t really care.

I’m so glad you replied to that comment with this. I immediately thought the same thing when I read the original comment. Thank you for spreading this important information that too little people know!
Thank you. I think a lot of people think only of the Jewish genocide when they talk about Nazi crimes. While they definitely were hit the hardest and were at the forefront of Nazi hate Germany systematically persecuted communists, LGBTQ and the Sinti and Roma communities as well.
…God this makes me so mad. This place was based as hell and not only did the Nazis ruin it, West Germany looked at what happened afterwards and went “meh, 'salright, I guess.”
“THE MISFITS, MUTANTS, MARXISTS…” He loves that alliteration even if it makes no sense.
Wow, he’s complaining about Twitter 3 years before it came online. The other day I found a video of Henry Rollins complaining about YouTube in 1985.
I get the joke, but for those that don’t - “twittering” meant “the act of talking quickly and nervously, saying things of very little importance or interest” - which is why they named the site Twitter (or rather, “Twittr” which is what they called it back then due to the Flickr-led trend of dropping vowels).
But that You Tube reference in 1985 - I’m trying to figure out what he meant by that back then, and I can’t, because freakin’ YouTube dominates the searches.
I just watched it again for the umpteenth time and finally figured out that he’s probably saying “U2,” but it sure comes out sounding like YouTube.
Calling their site Twitter always baffled me - wouldn’t people be put off by what you’re implying? - or impressed me with their frankness. Why not mindlessblather.com? Doesn’t roll of the tongue the same way…
Yeah, U2/Springsteen thing makes a lot more sense, because they were trying to change the world.
I think they chose twitter because it was supposed to be short chirps about like where you’re going for lunch. Not essays/threads.
Better a mutant than a Nazi, so nyah :P
Big green mutants with fangs are attacking Trump
“REALLY BIG FUNDRAISING, EVEN GREATER POLLS, SINCE THE RADICAL LEFT INDICTMENT HOAX WAS INITIATED BY THE MISFITS, MUTANTS, MARXISTS, & COMMUNISTS! THANK YOU”
Goddamn. That dude is going full-on Looney Tunes.
This unfortunately is a new dog whistle for trans individuals :(

So, trans people have superpowers now? Neat.
Yeah, we shapeshift really really slowly!
Trump and this post are deeply distressing, but this comment has made me laugh out loud sporadically now for like 18 hours. I just want you to know I treasure you :D
Fuck this orange shitstain and his barnacles.
Considering the traditional stories and plot points central to the X-Men comic/series this is kinda ironic
As I recall, “Mutant, and proud” was a repeated line in the more recent movies used as a rallying cry.
Using the term as an insult is probably counterproductive given the popular media association of stories of people being oppressed for their differences.
IIRC, the X-Men was originally an allegory for the Civil Rights movement - complete with some “mutants” wanting to work within the system to improve things and others wanting to tear the entire system down.
Of course, all persecutions tend to share similar themes even if details change so the story of the X-Men is easily applied to LGBTQ folks as well as any other group that’s persecuted against.
And if someone sides with the people who persecuted the X-Men without realizing that this makes them the villains, they really are idiotic.
what a weak derogatory term. “You sly filthy mutants. You are just like those Teenage Turtles or that weird Wolverine guy.”
honestly wear it as a badge of honor. Having comic book series made about your character traits is kind of sick. Ngl even for trump thats weak.
Lol, is that the best they’ve got for us? I call myself worse things in the mirror. Mutant just makes me feel cool and interesting.
I also want to be an X-Men, this isn’t fair!
Ninja turtles
If I’m cishet can I still be an x-man?
Nope, it’s the Avengers for you.
Disappointed but not surprised :/
What does it mean if the X-Men are out to get you?
Probably that you are secretly building killer robots, that will take over the world in the future.
I’m going to be honest but Trump blaming mutants was not on my bingo card. Is it X-Men variety or more TMNT?
Is Swamp Thing a mutant? It’d explain Trump wanting to “drain the swamp”; maybe he was being literal?
Swamp Thing is actually an Earth Elemental.
there had been dozens, perhaps hundreds, of Swamp Things since the dawn of humanity, and that all versions of the creature were designated defenders of the Parliament of Trees, an elemental community which rules a dimension known as “the Green” that connects all plant life on Earth.
Omg, Trump DC villain confirmed? lol
But not a supervillain. More of a secondary, background villain who takes orders from someone higher up.
Every time I hear “Swamp thing” I think about this wonderful song… Please…enjoy: https://youtu.be/r6XFX7vP8i8
I think of this one instead, because I’m old.

you’re a good person
Oooh Nooo.
It’s the Warhammer 40k variety and we’re all about to get bombarded from the heavens in the name of the God-Emperor of Mankind for tolerating their presence on Holy Terra no less.
I can’t prove it but it really, really feels like this is his way of grabbing the transphobic voter base of the right without actually saying something direct about transgender people. He uses words like MUTANT and lets his potential voters read that however they want, because he knows that voting group is pretty much the only ones supporting Desantis, who seems to base his entire platform on hate and fear.
I am just imagining him giving a speech about how professor X is with the “deep-state” lol
The trans kind :(

Absolutely disgusting language.
Considering how X-Men has long been an allegory for queer identity and the attempted oppression thereof, I hope trans people will take this as the unintentional compliment he didn’t intend it to be. In this world where conformity is choking the planet and multiplying suffering, being different is a superpower.
Fuck Trump with a fork along with anyone who supports him.
I just have to tell you your comment really struck a chord with me.
In this world where conformity is choking the planet and multiplying suffering, being different is a superpower.
This is beautifully worded. Keep fighting the good fight and spreading your kindness :)
Fucking stupid republican probably doesn’t realize the irony in calling trans people Marvel comic “mutants”. The mutants were mistreated by conservatives in those books and rounded up and sent to camps. A holocaust survivor championed their cause leading many to fight back against the human Nazis.
Oh…oh my fucking god. I thought that Trump couldn’t get any lower in my estimation, but here we are.
Going lower than anyone thought was possible is one of the few things Trump excels at.
it’s like he’s playing “guess who” board game, blaming everyone but himself and making sure everyone gets a shoutout
Exactly. I also raised my eyebrows when he recently started calling people far right lunatics.
lol bruh, that’s your camp xD
