Elites only deal in larger numbers, even if back in 1915.

But really, don't know.

Which goes way back in time.

a store in one corner of the room when he said that he didn't know what a corner store is.

Or was trying to picture a corner shaped store?

Yes he might have been literally.
A store shaped like a corner.
A store in a corner spot.

He couldn't picture it.

Right???

Of course they're long gone and have been for some time. My mom used to call them dime stores (it was probably Woolworth's) so that's what we learned to call them.

I'm guessing dime stores are the closest equivalent to today's "dollar stores," but they're not really the same thing. In the 1959 or 60, I could take my 25-cent weekly allowance to the dime store and buy penny candy, a comic book, and a bottle of soda. Or I could go the ice cream shop and get a 5-cent ice cream cone, or really splurge and get two scoops for 10 cents. It was incomparable luxury!

What has me puzzled is why doesn't he recognize the term "corner store"? I mean, he grew up in New York where all the stores are corner stores, even in Queens. He's showing more symptoms of dementia, or Alzheimer's.

The idea of shopping and stores are foreign to him.

Also knew of it as the dime store, it did relate to Woolworths.

Interesting how universal the 25 cents a week allowance was. I got a comic book and single scoop ice cream cone, usually raspberry. 🤗

He only goes shopping at Fort Knox. He does not buy any gold there he simply steals it by the truck load. That enables him to live like a king.

The idea of actually paying for anything is foreign to him.
Only suckers and losers pay for things.

No one seems to stop him.

Why doesn't anyone stop him? He's in lame-duck territory now. Polls aren't encouraging. They continue to slide in a downward direction. And as he ages, he becomes weaker and weaker as the "luster" fades.

But an entire country which allows or encourages his crimes and evil.

The shame is on the entire US now.

I was kerflummoxed by "quarter store" too.

Actually our city has been taken over by developers and techies so corner stores are pretty obsolete at the moment but I remember and liked them.

But apparently not in his privileged neighborhood.

... misheard "corner store" when he was six, and, as with all things Trump, he never progressed beyond that age.
This petulant, malicious man-child is an imbecile, and a clear and present danger to America and the world.

... it appears that he has painted himself into a corner store and can't find the exit.

But yeah, he says things and uses phrases he makes up. Funny thing is, when he uses a made up in his sick brain phrase or word combo, and the next day Rubio, or Leavitt, or someone on Fox inserts the same weird word or phrase into a conversation.

They are a cult led by a syphilitic moron who doesn't know what a corner store is.

Who knows with that guy.
He is a psychopath.

A "quarter" (25 cents) store.



I remember there was a whole strip where they were here in Philly, They eventually closed all that down and built the PA Convention Center.

I think everything old is new again with him, so to speak. All this forgetting means brand new things everyday!

Wowee, pretty scary...

Is not cognitively okay themselves.

Makes no difference to them if POTUS is mentally ill and has dementia.

Maybe that's what he was thinking.

I hope there are some adults in the room who can keep him from his worst impulses.

That will really tongue-tie the orange idiot.

...or the other thing for that matter.

Anyone who lived in a neighborhood in a city knew what a local grocer/convenience store was. Local. On the corner so it attracted traffic from 2 streets. Some of these grew into larger operations.

I didn't know groceries have become old-fashioned. Maybe we just say food.

What an utter imbecile. The rest of the world must be laughing their asses off when they're not preparing their defense systems for WWIII.

... has never bought a grocery in his life, let alone a bag of groceries. If you mentioned the admittedly archaic term, "green grocer" to him, he would say he'd heard of people who were white, black, brown, red, and even yellow, but never someone who was green! And the pitiful fuck would be serious.

in the Uk. In fact, I said it only yesterday!

... 13 miles away, but in rural Vermont only 13 miles means we're still neighbors. No green grocers anymore, though.

We've had warm, sunshiny days 2 days in a row! But we'll be punished for that come Monday; it's supposed to snow.

especially at the time it was bred 1950s, 1960s, 1970s

The shitstain has no mental capacity and should be shot dead by Secret Service, they did pledge an oath to The Constitution

Maybe some types of T-brackets.

You end up with a dollar’s worth of penny candy.

Has cornered the market on essentials like tooth paste and toilet paper.

I thought everybody knew that.

that a ‘corner store’ need not occupy an actual corner. Who ever sent a kid down to the middle-of-the-block store?

The clueless ones.

You know. Morons,” Gene Wilder in Blazing Saddles.

So ya he's a man of the people.

Wonder how long it will be before he will claim he invented that word and claim that nobody ever heard it before?

This is the pinhead with the codes

He can't even read his own script.

DEMENTED, SENILE FUCKING IDIOT.

And the cackling hyenas in the audience that are laughing at his imbecility, thinking he's making a funny, are a fucking DISGRACE to his nation. They should be measuring him for a rubber room, not cheerfully egging him on......

WHAT.
THE.
FUCK.
Is WRONG with these fools??????

the pawn shop on a corner in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania?

Says a lot about the ignorance of this country that there are millions of people who look at this decrepit lying sack of shit and say, yup, that's my guy!

His vocabulary has become smaller. He repeats the same phrases and uses them inappropriately. The pope is soft on crime?

There was one where my grandma lived

He believes he's on top of the world, the greatest and most powerful, so he says whatever comes into that pathological brain of his. Especially when giving a speech in front of what he assumes is his faithful flock, he's relaxed and confident and starts "weaving" random thoughts about poisonous snakes in Peru, or cheap sharpie pens, or a situation where he'd have to choose between getting electrocuted or eaten by a shark.

It is a form of insanity, but not dementia. It's a combination of giant ego and delusion, and it's getting worse as he ages. Subconsciously he may know he's in trouble politically, but his ego won't admit that so he becomes more disconnected from reality. Rambling off on bizarre tangents makes him feel good, but this is not dementia. Someone suffering from that disease could not ramble for eight full minutes about poisonous snakes, then come back to the purpose of the occasion for his speech.

Plus, he's really not very intelligent. He's a talented con man and pathological liar with no moral compass, confidently and repeatedly asserting lies to establish or reinforce false narratives that millions of voters have already been programmed to believe from sources like Fox News.

He never bothered to read or study or learn about subjects a president should know when making critical decisions. He prepared for his political career by watching a lot of television, getting the pulse of voters who were there just waiting for a con man unconstrained by the norms and traditions that still bound his Republican opponents in the 2016 presidential primary. He pushed hard on the pent up buttons of grievance, liberating the unfiltered ignorance and bigotry of those who felt repressed, and they absolutely love for it.

All the lies and false narratives are now the foundation of what has become the Party Of Trump. But a foundation detached from reality is bound to crumble, and we're beginning to see Trump crumble along with it.

I don't wish to see him both electrocuted and eaten by a shark is that I wouldn't want to put the poor shark through that. Oh, and also because it would be too quick.

Would be to rot in a prison cell with no special privileges, denied his cell phone, rejected by his former cult, and totally ignored by the media.

with READ ONLY access to social media so he could see people mocking him without the ability to respond. He must also be stripped of all his ill-gotten gains and not allowed makeup/hair products.

In a wealthy section of Queens.
I bet they didn't have corner stores there.

But a real estate mongral that doesn't know what a corner store was?
I doubt that very very much
How many did he raze to but up his buildings?

Either he has memory issues or he is lying.
Who does not read a speech before he gives it?

Shows how out of touch he is with the American people.

It’s such a hideous joke that MAGAs insist he is a “man of the people.”

has apparently never shopped for anything in his entire life. And those suckers actually thought he was one of them?

Sweet jebus...

That aneurysm ain't gonna blow itself. Well, not soon enough.

A bodega would be sounded-out as "bod-EGG-a" or "boe-DEE-gia"

Bode-Gah!
Body-gay!

tell the orange thing to speak english.

I know growing up, on my residential street in Philly, the intersections of the bigger streets were zoned "commercial" and there were a couple "corner stores", one on each corner, including a drug store (as we called them back then), a deli, a dry cleaner, and then there was a gas station.

...The Felon hasn't been in a store -- ANY store -- to shop, in more than 60 years. If ever.

The president can wax rhapsodic about his marble preferences and his affection for Corinthian columns. “Corner store,” however, left him badly confused.

Baffled by his own ‘corner store’ reference, Trump’s problems with groceries persist - MS NOW apple.news/AA6gvd1eLRIe...

and Rmoney's -

One had written the start of a novel, set in the 1920s, and was using a lot of anachronisms, which were fun to identify. There were frequent references in the text to a "convenience store" which I noted was not a popular term in the 1920s and the author should use "corner store" or "variety store" instead. Even though the store was in the middle of a block it could still be called a "corner store" because the name indicates a small local store, one that could be "just around the corner."

There might have been a Sears Roebuck & Co. back then, but the Sears stores weren't spread all over the Midwest as would eventually happen later on. All retail was local in the 1920s, but the kids don't understand that.

I've never seen anyone with such a lack of impulse control. You don't have to (and it's better if you don't) say every word you think out loud, but the moron never understood tact or self-discipline.

speaking about such important changes for all of us?

Other people, "the little people" do that for them. They have no idea.

Write a book Jake. Write a book.

He's been catered to his entire life, having people go out to get him whatever he wants.

How about a quarterback?

he doesn't know what a BODEGA is either! Hell, I live in Virginia and I know what a bodega is!

A "quarter" (25 cents) store.



We had the "Red Light District" where all that stuff (including the "XXX Rated" movie theaters) were and it wasn't far from what was dubbed "Skid Row".

So proud, too! The Donald even gave him an ATTA-BOY when it was signed too! Worm-Turning-Time, JoJo?

he wouldn't know the difference
