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.

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. 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.

No, he was perfectly clear. The TDS folks are being intentionally obtuse.

The amount of hatred and vitriol they have for this man really affects their brains. It is something I've never seen before.

You obviously haven't actually watched the video of this part of the speech. That's the only politically correct to say reason you think he said anything remotely akin to "sacrificing millions of American lives".

Public school, huh?

---

At the very least, you have to admit that Trump's rambling made his statement a little unclear.

Quote:

---

…why do you seem to think that "public school" is a negative thing?

---

---

No, I don't. Even as a half-breed, I can understand basic ass English.

Public school is horrible. Always was going to be, as all socialized things are.


I don't even support Trump on a lot of things, since he's such a fiscal liberal. But this incessant push from the left to demonize every thing he says is beyond pathetic. Especially this time when it's obvious to anyone with an IQ above their shoe size that he was talking about fuel prices and not desirous of having cities nuked.

---

I went to public school in the 70s and 80s in Houston and ours were good at that time. Of course it was spring branch not HISD. I'm not sure it's still good now though.

And I'm super smart.

You used to like Trump.

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.

The amount of goaltending yesterday and today by Republican candidates and the RWM and Trump supporters is impressive, but it isn't working.

Quote:

---

"Let them take let it let them take out Los Angeles. Let them take out San Diego. That's this is a very small price to pay, and it's going to be over with very soon." -- Donald Trump speaking to hundreds of his supporters at a rally in Nebraska this week

---

Face it. It was another of Trump's inexcusable, intentional inflammatory statements. Just like the hundreds of others he has made before.

Everyone knows that. They have watched Trump do it daily for the past ten years. Trump loves to throw red meat to the Trump MAGA crowds at his rallies by deliberately using inflammatory rhetoric that aligns with and feeds their partisan animosities and far-right beliefs.

It is also inarguable that Trump has complete control of the Republican Party. He is the Republican Party's undisputed leader, spokesperson, and party ruler that every Trump Republican candidate supports and has praised and given submissive obedience to.

That means every Trump Republican candidate running for office owns this, just like they own Trump's war, his corruption, his disastrous tariffs, his high home mortgage rates, his Epstein coverup and protecting of pedophiles ("these people are my friends"), and his high gas & diesel & grocery prices.

---

My heavens, even this late in the thread, you are really tripling down on this even though you've been proven wrong. I have to admit that takes gumption.

Your little tirade has a lot of regurgitated crap in it.

And if you think it's Trump is trying to hide the Epstein stuff he's not. Biden had four years to release every bit of that and didn't. There's a reason why.

Trump called the cops on Epstein, he discontinued his relationship with him decades go, he never went to the island. He never had any kind of accusations like this before he ran for president. In the 40 years, he was a businessman.

Mortgage rates were way higher under Biden than they are Trump. Same thing with gas still even with the rise right.

Trump has many flaws and we can certainly disagree about his methods and outcomes, but these repeated bull**** lies over and over get really old.

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.

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 like his zero ****s given attitude. I like his immigration policy. I only voted for him because Harris and the L were both progressive liberals. I also disliked the lawfare against him.

I've never liked Trump's liberal fiscal policy. He's an old school NY Dem. Better than the alternative but not remotely conservative.

Plus, im not a sycophant to any politician, just conservative policy. If they do something I dislike, I call them on it.

There is a new concept that some people are trying out. It's called "joking". I'm not exactly sure about how you pronounce it as I've only seen it written. Could be a soft "j". But if I get the gist, you say something that absurd to get a laugh from people. The thing doesn't have to be true either. Kind of a weird concept. I wonder if it will catch on.

---

This is useful for people with a sense of humor. Unfortunately, the TDS crowd is severely lacking in that regard.

---

Have you ever met a joyful liberal?
Usually they are just mad at everything and about everything.
Its a miserable existence. Perhaps they think voting in their overlord, will change it.

Spoiler. No it won't.

---

This board is proof positive that there's plenty of joyless MAGAts as well.

No, you are intentionally misinterpreting him so you can pretend to be upset about it.

It is really, really pathetic.

Are you sure he doesn't wanna date me cause I'm sort of thinking he does. Do y'all have any other schtick to push? This is all you ever say instead of actually talking about the facts in the cases.

You can't refute it so you just go to these stupid insults. Which by the way, I find very amusing they don't bother me or upset me. It's just funny that liberals cannot seem to argue the facts they have to rely on little one liners.

Can you do me a favor though? Can you at least change your comment and do something more original? That he wants to date me thing was old like five months ago.

I will stick up for Trump if I think that people are making idiotic and statements. Other times he's on his own. I don't like everything he says either but this is again one that you libs are wrong about. Just face the fact that you're wrong.

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 you didn't answer whether or not their response was a good look. I completely understand why you wouldn't answer, though.

It's really hard to believe some of these responses are from adults.

The left's unhinged narrative continues.

---

My post aligns closely with what a longtime Republican campaign strategist said in a podcast interview today. He was asked to give a candid assessment of Trump's remarks and where things currently stand in the midterms. He said Trump's remarks were "unhelpful at best, and potentially very bad" for R candidates who are in tight races.

---

Probably the reliable Michael Steele. LOL.

What's more likely:

Trump is willing to sacrifice the biggest city in the country and the most conservative city in California (when San Francisco was available) for some unspecified gain.

or

Trump has been briefed on credible intelligence reports that Iran would target coastal cities (I'm not sure if west or east coast is a more accessible target for Iran, but I bet Trump knows ) and on the west coast San Diego hosts the largest military presence and Los Angeles hosts the 2nd largest military presence and the biggest shipping port in the country. Which makes them the most likely targets in an attack from the west.

The left is trying to make a gotcha out of a security concern that could have been communicated a little more clearly. They know it, we know it, but they'll still lie about it for perceived political gain. It's truly disgusting, but expected from the degenerate left.

A large scale attack on either of those cities would be devastating for the US and the world economy. I would hope those that claim they wouldn't care, do so in jest. California politics is dog ****, but it's a beautiful state and lot of good people live there. I suspect Trump has spent significant time in California over his years and likely has some affection for it even if it is the largest host of his political enemies.

Trump's point being that the Iran War is a small price to pay compared to a large scale attack on our home turf. You can disagree with that, but at least be honest about the message.
