    Say what you want but his clear doesn’t give a fuck attitude that what he says in public and denying what he says in public is strong. Never knew someone’s gaslighting game is this strong

        How so, he said the shit like on camera, now if he denies it does that not mean he does not give a shit and is actively trying to gaslight us. Get fucked and informed poser

            Wow thanks for elaborating further, now I know how I was the problem, you gave such a compelling argument and left no doubt in my mind I was the problem, and why other people like myself are sick trash and should get, as you stated, fucked. I apologise and clearly I should rethink my entire way of thinking and how I engage, by not following other people’s opinions and trying to have a discussion was my error. So sorry.

    Kind of frustrating the article doesn’t link to any of the evidence Trump said these things.

      Pretty much all media are in on the great American scam to take this country away from us. But, they’ll be among the first to burn so I don’t get what their end game is.

        The irony is that the right is accelerating the demise of democracy by promoting the very hatred and bigotry the media and powers that be (Russia/China) want. It’s all just distraction away from the continued separation of wealth. But Republicans can’t seem to understand this.

        It’s not that the entire mainstream media is in on it, only the billionaires that own it. The editors and journalists go against their best interests because they have no one else who will pay them. The liberal press isn’t profitable, so the billionaires are trying to make them accomplices in their own destruction.

      Yes! Exactly! Trump tells on himself so often that every other sentence is a confession. Recently he accused Biden of doing nothing but stealing credit. Back in 2016 there were clips going around of him saying (among other things) that the economy does better under the democrats. I wish that one had circulated more than “grab her by the pussy” because I think it would’ve diffused his base more.

      The thing is, Trump fans are as immune to facts, even after being presented with them, as Rogan fans (of course, there’s a huge overlap between them). They could be given a time machine trip back to see Trump say it themselves and Trump would say, “fake news!” and they would believe him.

      No evidence in the world can convince you if you have faith.

        It’s not that they’re immune to facts, it’s that they’ll see the fact and just willingly lie because they think they have the overall high ground and believe they’re trolling right along trump to own you.

        Trump fans are as immune to facts

        Because this brand of conservatism is not one of reason and logic, it’s not about policy and political action, it’s about emotion.

        The people attached to MAGA are the same people who were fanatical about Wrestlemania and didn’t care if it was real or not, because it was real to them and they wouldn’t take any criticism or people telling them it’s not real because it was all they had, it was their storyline, it was raw emotion and easy-to-follow narratives of good versus evil. Trumpers are in that same state of both knowing that they are just part of a fantasy, but also embracing that fantasy as a reality.

        We tend to develop very black-and-white views of the role of logic and reason in our world, but the brain doesn’t even work on logic and reason, it works by inventing a story to explain how you feel, it writes a narrative to explain your emotions or sensations and that narrative doesn’t even need to make sense, it just needs to connect, and you will embrace that narrative because it feels like it makes sense. This is how you have very book-smart people like doctors and nurses becoming anti-vax, conspiracy embracers, because they are humans and have emotional issues, and a brain that will write a story (or attach to a provided story) to explain those emotions.

        Not this specific thing, but he’s said similar shit in speeches like “I like people who don’t get captured” while shitting on the last republican with morals.

        There’s so many videos of him saying crazy ass shit, I can’t imagine how long it would take to sift through all of it and find this specific instance.

        It was not on video. It was in Marine One if I recall. Or maybe in the limo.

      Donald Trump is an asshole because he used the ableist slur ps*cho, and only a bigot would do that.

          And I might believe your defence of Donald Trump if you were speaking as someone with ASPD or on the schizophrenia spectrum. But since you have no relevant lived experience, I’m going to ignore you saying it’s okay when Trump uses a slur against people like me.

              you’re being ridiculous.

                No, I’m not defending him. I’m saying you, going all over this thread telling people not to say ‘psycho,’ are being ridiculous.

                And no one is going to do what you want them to do either.

                  I didn’t tell nobody to do nothing. I just said anyone who uses mental illness as an insult the way Trump does is an asshole. Are you saying there’s somebody in this thread who’s acting like Trump?

                That doesn’t sound at all, in any way whatsoever, like defending Trump. Like, I’m not even sure how anyone who speaks even basic English would think that is somehow defending Trump. It would take extreme cognitive difficulty to interpret it that way instead of the person attacking you for being absolutely ridiculous.

    “That should be good enough to convince those suckers and losers to keep on liking me” - Donald Trump, probably.
