Donald Trump the road that might not lead to the White House - Redux 2024 thread.

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

This is unlikely, though. Harris is unapologetically and loudly pro-reproduction rights. That will be enough for a big chunk of them.

It might have an impact in terms of turnout in those groups to be fair - when faced with how transparently disinterested in their priorities Trump is some might potentially decide not to bother. In terms of evangelicals actually going and voting for Harris though, seems unlikely I agree.

 

[WouldBe]

That means he's right though, he could stop it on his own in a moment

Or he doesn't believe himself.

 

[WouldBe]

His ego wouldn't allow for that

His ego wouldn't have a say if someone shoots him again.

 

[xenon]

"The amount of crime we have is unbelievable." Said Trump. Yet he's the one committing it.

Touché.

 

[Kaka Tim]

well - would his ego allow for him to be humliated as a loser? (again). Im sure hed come up with some ego saving bollocks as to why he was pulling out - it would obviously be someone else fault. Even blame it on deep state/dark forces or some other nut job inciting conspiracy toss.

If RFK does drop out by the end of the week as rumoured, Trump's going to find himself in the lead again isn't he.

Staggering how many women supporters Trump has. I mean, back in The Apprentice days, I guess lots of women might've fancied themselves the potential next trophy wife Mrs Trump, and social media wasn't what it is today.

But nowadays those women surely can't be ignorant as to his misogynistic comments about women and misogynistic attitudes more generally, his flawed character and criminal behaviour, the lurch to the right and taking away women's rights.

I get how some (racist) guys might see him as a guy's guy, might find him relatable, but what do the women see in him? How can any woman support him? How can so many women support him?

I think its a mix of things, but predominantly those who fit in categories 1 & 2:

1. Women who're clueless about politics, being guided by their 'good Christian' MAGA menfolk and their mansplainin' and dutifully believing what they're told and then doing what they're told (ie. good women, as trump would call them, not nasty women with minds of their own);

2. Women (actual nasty ones) who don't like women (or brown people) and couldn't give a shiny shit what he is, says or does as long as he continues to represent their own hateful, misogynistic, bigoted and racist views;

3. Women (proper crazy ones) who look at this and wish they were at the receiving end of it.



Not even specsavers can save those in the no.3 category.

No, he isn't.

Sorry if this has been done but I've just seen the clip where Trump calls Harris a Communist. But it actually goes

"Or is she a Marxist? I've spoken to people, top people, who know about this stuff. And they don't know. They can't decide."

Parody that.

tbf (not an initialism I hope ever to use again about DT) we could have a fifteen page argument on here about the difference between communists and marxists. In fact, I think thats what first attracted me to the place.

Sure. Honestly, in this era of uncertainty and strangeness, it could well happen. Anything could happen.

When is he posting his reasoned reply to Kamala's speach? Must be consulting with his experts on a calm and cutting rebuke. I do hope its not Caps On and pure lies and waffle.

He didn't wait until she finished speaking.



(Also I read elsewhere he phoned into fox news for a rant afterwards and they had to cut him off )

He's totally losing his shit over Harris standing for the Dems, the TV debate should be interesting.

From the same venue as the one above but the light is better, or worse depending on your perspective:

 

[gosub]

"unbelievable", indeed.

FFS, he hates when his lies are called out - why cant he be fact checked for the upcoming debate? Both candidates should be.

They've recently changed the way they collate the stats on violent crime so slightly muddy water.


He also had a go a at the recent downward brevision of jobs (revised downwards 830,000)...financials were precalling it at around 1 mill but he used the official announced. They were interviewing the Secretary of Commerce about it at the DNC ..she said she didn't believe Trump coz he always lies...He wasnt. Then said she wasn't aware of the data... He's got himself a cry wolf problem (deservedly) but Dems aint that much better ..that's politics

 

[Yossarian]

This feels like a whole new level of lying

 

[Rompipalle]

A lot of them are off gridders, living in a cabin on a mountain, with a prepper mentality

… and married to their sisters?

Trumpz a cunt who lies as freely as people breàth.

I wouldn't say lying as such. For him to be lying would imply that he's aware of women's concerns and is seeking to reassure them that they'll be safe in his tiny clammy hands. We know that's not true. We know women and their 'issues' don't take up any space in his hateful orange head. It's just, like 99% of what he posts, effortless, pointless, meaningless words.

remember, this is the guy who decides who's properly jewish.

Trump says Jews who vote for Biden do 'not love Israel' and 'should be spoken to'

The presumptive Republican presidential nominee repeated an antisemitic trope he has pushed suggesting American Jews have dual loyalties to the U.S. and Israel.

www.nbcnews.com

so he can decide what's best for every group.

btw he seems to have put his foot in it today

Why Trump Is Making Anti-Semitic Rants at Josh Shapiro

The “highly overrated Jewish Governor” undermines his narrative.

nymag.com

Trump called Shapiro the “highly overrated Jewish Governor of the Great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,” complaining that Shapiro “refused to acknowledge that I am the best friend that Israel, and the Jewish people, ever had,”
