This.

Hitler convincing Germany to hate the Jews is all I can come up with.


That is probably a comparable situation.

Are you sure they disagree with me? Re-read my earlier post, where i speculated that he clumsily uttered the wrong words.

Do you not agree it was a stupid thing to say?



He didn't say anything stupid and he was easy to understand. Democrats just lie


Was it a good look when the crowd enthusiastically cheered when he uttered "Let them take out LA"?


Never happened...

Based on the fact that he is 80 years old, speaks off the cuff, and can hardly put a coherent sentence together on his best days

Literally, none of that is true.

BTW, your God Emperor is *literally* 80 years old.


He's not a god or an emperor. He's just the President of the United States who has done a kick ass job in both of his terms. Best since Reagan. Y'all are the ones inflating him with those bizarre labels.

Not everyone ages the same way, Trump can run circles around 90% of America, not everyone's a blathering pants-****ting mumbling idiot like Biden.

I'll defend him if I feel people are making a fool of themselves with comments that aren't true but he doesn't live in my head rent-free like he does with y'all. I can't imagine having this much hatred in my heart over the president of the United States.

Obama was horrible and Biden was an idiot, but I didn't spend my days wringing my hands over it.

Some of you seem to forget that this is a political forum. That's what we talk about here, politics. If I wanna talk about football, I go to the football forum. If I wanna talk about history, I go to the history forum. If I wanna talk about movies, I go to the entertainment forum.

The fact that I talk about the president who I support on a political forum really shouldn't be that weird. And it's not weird except for y'all.

It's really a very simple concept.

Literally, none of that is true. You must be watching a bunch of AI stuff on blue sky because Trump can literally talk to reporters world leaders for hours and not have problems. He also doesn't have to use teleprompters half the time because he knows what he's talking about. The man literally works like 21 hours a day is constantly flying all over the world and you still push this *****

We have literal 24/7 video of the man.

Just another thing you're lying about.

You have some of the strongest TDS that I have seen on this site and that's saying a lot.

He's not going to date you. The undying adulation you have for the world's biggest narcissist will never not be hilarious to me.

100%. It is absolutely ridiculous for him to say something like that.


No, it wasn't because that's not what he said. Really seriously comprehension is hard for some people.


His exact words were "Let them take LA" <crowd cheers in approval>. "Let them take San Diego" <crowd again cheers in approval>.

Why is it so difficult to state that was a stupid thing to say, regardless of whether he was joking or if he clumsily uttered the wrong words? Either way, the optics are bad, especially with the crowd cheering.



You're still not understanding this in context which tells me you have not watched the video.

Why don't you go watch it and then if you still double down on it that's on you. You are completely misconstruing what he had said because you want to.

Your hearing what others misconstrued and piggybacking on what they said instead of really listening to what he said. Because you want to be outraged. Because you hate Trump and you want to make it something. It's not. Seriously comprehension is really lacking these days.


I'm quoting him directly. Those are his words, not me misconstruing anything. It was a stupid thing to say.



You're cherry picking a comment out of a whole comment that he made acting like it's some shocking thing. It was an offhanded joke because California is full of Democrats. You really think Democrats haven't said worse about Republicans? How involved have you been in politics in your life?

Wow, this coming from someone who's party literally calls for the death of Trump and jokes about it, calls people deplorables and Nazis and other horrible things - and I'm talking about the Democrat politicians here as well as their supporters - but this joke bothers you because he's joking that most Democrats live in California. No one with a brain thought he really was threatening anyone.

Are you under 25? Because I'm thinking you are because you don't seem to have a lot of history with political barbs over the years. In fact, some of the worst things ever said came out out of the John Adams Thomas Jefferson election. So if you think this is something new I can't help you.

It wasn't a dumb thing to say you just got your feelings hurt because you hate Trump.

I would never date Trump anyway even if he was younger. I like dark haired men in general and I've never thought that Trump was a very attractive guy. He just had a lot of swagger.

I'm old enough to remember him as a businessman, and how much he was in the news in the 80s and 90s. The younger people don't relate to that at all. Some of them literally think he only had the apprentice show and then ran for president.

If anything is Trump is the same person he was 40 years ago. Same exact person. You can go back and find videos of him from 30 or 40 years ago and he's saying the same stuff then is he saying now.

It's everyone else that changed. It's the Democrats and the blacks who loved him until he beat Hillary. Then he became the devil incarnate, racist and evil. The things they accuse this man of are ridiculous. Funny how they don't remember that he got an award alongside Rosa Parks. Even shyster Al Sharpton used to like him.

There is story after story of this man over the years, paying all people's mortgages or buying them a new house or getting them a new car. But of course, the left doesn't wanna hear that.

I like his no bull**** attitude, I like that he's not politically correct, I like that. He actually gives a **** about our country and it has shown that in the things he has done to bring it back, especially after the Biden fiasco. Has everything worked out right, no, does everything ever work out great under any president no. I don't agree with some of the stuff, but mostly I do. We can all armchair quarterback about the presidency, but until you've been in that situation, I can't even imagine the pressure.

He's usually right in what he says, but a lot of times he says it in the wrong way, but this was not one of those times.

We're not joking when we say if Trump said the sky was blue or oxygen was bad that leftists would debate it.

You can maybe get away with using that ludicrous spin the first 300 times he has said inexcusable things. But after the first 1000 times he intentionally said inexcusable and irresponsible things, everyone knows he meant what he said, and everyone sees through the ridiculous goaltending attempts by Trump apologists.


I guess it is upsetting to you given that your side is constantly wishing death on the president, joking about him not really getting shot, screaming that he's a pedophile, a Nazi and a racist. But no, this is what upsets you.

With an honest reading, you can easily get what he means.

But the 'let them take' is unfortunate. He could have worded it better. Yes, people want to pounce on his words and twist his intent even if only for clicks.

His whole speech style is improv and he's going to occasionally say things that can be misconstrued or twisted. He should be more deliberate in what he says. No speech writer would ever put that sentence on a teleprompter as it was spoken.

I know there are a few people on here who didn't seem to mind when it was speculated that North Korea could reach Seattle with their missiles, but this should be alarming for most people.

You obviously do not understand the difference between between the simple 3 letter words "can" and "may".

Trump just "joked" about an enemy state killing 16,000,000 people living in the United States. That's assuming they take out the metros and not just the folks in the city limits. That would only be 5,000,000. But c'mon, it's California so who cares, right? It's hilarious! That Trump sure knows how to troll the libs!

On 9/11 we lost about 3,000 people, mostly in liberal areas. Was that funny? Did y'all gut laugh when 3,000 people in NYC, Washington DC and rural Pennsylvania died at the hands of a terrorist regime.

Pretty hilarious, huh? Now make it somewhere between 5,000,000-16,000,000. Still laughing?





President Trump wasn't joking about Iran taking out LA or San Diego.
He was pointing out they would have the CAPABILITY to carry out this atrocity and he and his administration are preventing this from happening.
People and posters need to get a grip.

And his exact words before your cherry picked segment were -

"I want to see a tremendous victory, you want to see a tremendous victory - because it verifies all the things we did. And again, where it is, it's just artificial. It's a little bit high, but it's a small price to pay for keeping the world safe, for keeping our country safe. They could take out a city. Let them take out Los Angeles ... let them take out San Diego. This is a very small price to pay, and it's going to be over very soon."

He was clearly saying that high fuel prices in the short term were far less costly than having an American city hit by nuclear weapons in the future, and it was worth the short term pain - a small price to pay.

Any other interpretation is wishcasting and prevarications by the Trump haters.

No, he certainly did not say that clearly at all. Certainly not as clearly as you stated it. I don't think you would have said "Let them take out LA" if you were trying to make the point you stated Trump *meant* to make. Unfortunately, because of his stupid statement, Trump left himself vulnerable to criticism, which he certainly earned. And the cheering crowd did not do him any favors.

Finally listened to it because of all the hubbub.

People who interpret that as Trump wants them to take out California cities are either:

1) Functionally mentally challenged.

or

2) So blinded by Trump hatred that they have made themselves a member of group 1

In either case, there is no reasoning with them.

Yep.

Trump has done this same "say something outrageous and inexcusable" routine thousands of times. His goaltenders always try to spin it and proffer eye-rolling excuses for it. Instead, they ought to just unapologetically embrace it and candidly admit it is who Trump is and it is who they are. But they can't. Very strange.

And your inability to be anything but a OneNote horse will never not be hilarious to me. Somehow, you think this is a dig that's upsetting me. It does not, it amuses me. Most simpleton humor does amuse me. It just reinforces that you have no real retorts for the truth or the topics at hand you just keep saying the same thing over and over. But I think I get it. You think like AOC. It makes sense.

It's quite hilarious.

That was so much more dangerous and harmful than anything Trump has ever said. Ever.

We know. It's not some hysterical overreaction like all this hoopla around Trump where the only thing affected is overly sensitive and histrionic feelings overdramatized for political gain.

Myself and my family, and many here, I imagine, know because we had to live through the backlash of the bull**** coming out of Biden's mouth, on down, and all the terrible things people did because of it - to us personally.

Trump said some things and what? What exactly?

You going to have to deal with people yelling at you and threatening you if you go out in public? Have people chase you? Be deliberately excluded from entering/going places?

smh

The undying adulation you have for the world's biggest narcissist will never not be hilarious to me.

And your inability to be anything but a OneNote horse will never not be hilarious to me. Somehow, you think this is a dig that's upsetting me. It does not, it amuses me. Most simpleton humor does amuse me. It just reinforces that you have no real retorts for the truth or the topics at hand you just keep saying the same thing over and over. But I think I get it. You think like AOC. It makes sense.

It's quite hilarious.

Yeah, your 600 replies to it clearly demonstrate it doesn't upset you. And WTF is a "one note horse"? Somebody's been day drinking...I'm jealous.

I wouldn't want a liberal president saying hey Iran nuke Texas and Oklahoma, joking about the nuclear destruction of American Cities is not what we want from elected officials.

100%. It is absolutely ridiculous for him to say something like that.


No, it wasn't because that's not what he said. Really seriously comprehension is hard for some people.


His exact words were "Let them take LA" <crowd cheers in approval>. "Let them take San Diego" <crowd again cheers in approval>.

Why is it so difficult to state that was a stupid thing to say, regardless of whether he was joking or if he clumsily uttered the wrong words? Either way, the optics are bad, especially with the crowd cheering.



He was clearly saying that high fuel prices in the short term were far less costly than having an American city hit by nuclear weapons in the future, and it was worth the short term pain - a small price to pay.



No, he certainly did not say that clearly at all. Certainly not as clearly as you stated it. I don't think you would have said "Let them take out LA" if you were trying to make the point you stated Trump *meant* to make. Unfortunately, because of his stupid statement, Trump left himself vulnerable to criticism, which he certainly earned. And the cheering crowd did not do him any favors.

Why is it so difficult to admit he said something stupid?


Funny how you left this part of his quote out. These are his exact words. I'll post it again.


"I want to see a tremendous victory, you want to see a tremendous victory - because it verifies all the things we did. And again, where it is, it's just artificial. It's a little bit high, but it's a small price to pay for keeping the world safe, for keeping our country safe. They could take out a city. Let them take out Los Angeles ... let them take out San Diego. This is a very small price to pay, and it's going to be over very soon."


Trump was perfectly clear except for those with TDS clogged ears. The small price to pay was referring to the temporary high price of fuel, not losing Los Angeles or San Diego to nukes. He flat out said it was a small price to pay for keeping our country safe. Last time I checked, Los Angeles and San Diego are part of our country.

He could not control how the crowd responded, but he didn't mean it at all like you guys are trying to make it out. It's bull**** and you know it.

Or maybe the crowd responded correctly to the part about small price to pay to secure America, including liberal cities along the left coast.

I love the "if it was Biden you guys would be all over it" comments, so I'll tell you exactly how I would have responded.

First, I would have seen the headline and said "that tracks and is one of a thousand things that fit his pattern."

Then I would have clicked on the link and watched it.

Then I would have dismissed it as AI because he hasn't said anything that coherent in a couple of decades.

No. You're still not comprehending

I'll say it loud so those in the back can hear.

HE WAS TALKING ABOUT THE HIGH PRICES IN GAS.

That's it. That's all he was talking about. I'm sorry you can't understand that.
