He’s been whiffing on softball questions all along. It’s one of the most baffling aspects of his performance. Even with a friendly interviewer setting him up, he can’t just give the obvious, fluffy answer.
Sure, but even in his “giving a book report on a book he hasn’t read” mode you’d think he could’ve managed something generic like “We love Christians and Christians are gonna love what we’re going to do for this country and things are going to be tremendous like noone’s ever seen so that you won’t have to vote because everything will be great no matter what”.
Have I become better at being Trump than Trump is?
Let’s try an experiment: “Mr. Trump, do you think children should be allowed to play with puppies and kittens?”
I saw him live, doing that role, and he was amazing.
Yes. It’s kind of scary, actually.
I saw him live in The King and I, and fully agree!
“(Thousand yard vacant stare) Lots of children have puppies and kittens, believe me, my son used to say to me all the time “Sir, can I have a puppy or a kitten?” And he begged like a dog, but I used to live in New York before New York wasn’t New York anymore, Trump Tower, one of the greatest buildings ever, and New York is a Communist city now, but even before it was Communist you had radical left Democrats at every level of government, and you’d say I want a puppy or a kitten, and they’d say fill out this form and get this license and pay us, oh, they wanted you to pay a very large amount of money just to have a puppy or a kitten, and noone can afford it, there aren’t any jobs that pay that kind of money because Democrats let the migrants take them all. It’s a terrible situation and you’re never going to have puppies or kittens in this country again if they let them rig and steal this election again.”
day-am, you are scary good.
It ain’t hard.
I’m not even a clairvoyant and I can tell you exactly what’s coming out of his trump-hole before his 3 brain cells wiggle.
It’s all rote. I’d say my dog does it but I don’t disparage my dog like that.
Yeah, the double et cetera is more of a punk, Gene Wilder move.
Sorry, you managed to come back around to the original topic. SAD!
But I didn’t actually answer the question, which is one of the hallmarks of a classic Trump ramble. MANY SUCH CASES!
10/10, would vote for you again!
I’m sure many of them joined Trump’s team for the same reason Trump went into politics; as an opportunity to make money.
Trump has an organization set up where his maga followers send him money. Trump’s fleecing his flock.
But Trump’s not much of a businessman and he’s lazy. I’m sure he’s turned over most of the operation of his funding organization to his staff.
Those staff members are handling millions of dollars. How much of that do you think disappears off the records and into people’s pockets? I’ve heard that Trump’s organizations have literally tens of millions that are unaccounted for.
As for getting caught and prosecuted, most of Trump’s employees aren’t as dumb at crime as Trump is. When Trump commits a crime, he talks about it as his next campaign rally.
I never imagined I would say this, but my admiration to Laura Ingraham for carrying that enormous load in trying to keep Trump from just saying the quiet part out loud. It takes real talent to keep an oaf like Trump from tripping over his own limp petard. She truly deserves a leading role in the fascist propaganda machine that is the hypothetical second Trump Administration. But not ahead of Sean Spicer, of course. #LetHimMisspeak!

Is there a transcript of this? I ask because I’m curious about what he said but CANNOT listen to him speak, even for nanoseconds.
ETA: The Hill has some of it but not the whole thing.
I’m confused why anyone would care if MAGAs took over state capitols. Presemably, this could only happen in places like Texas and Florida? If they tried it in California or New York wouldn’t the attempts be efficiently suppressed with extreme prejudice?
And if the state capitols of Texas and Florida were full of MAGAs refusing to let the business of government proceed… how would you tell the difference? Might it not even be an improvement?
The idea is they would seek to prevent the official registering of the Electoral Vote thus making the Fake Electors vote the “only” one actually cast by the deadline, or in their illusory reading of the Constitution making it so the State Legislature has to name its own electors and thus places like Arizona or Georgia get EVs entirely unrelated to the popular vote.
Ahhhhh, I see. I hesitate to say it makes sense, since it is profoundly stupid. Let’s go for ‘I understand’. Thanks
This is particularly an issue in states severely gerrymandered to keep their state Houses and Senates heavily Republican, even when the population isn’t actually voting that way. It’s not impossible that some of those states might vote D in a national election; or that one or two of them doing so might swing this one (though I really hope we get a multistate lead, which is harder to claim illegitimate. Not that they won’t try.)
Y’all are vastly overthinking this. If he thinks that telling them that the moon is made of Folger’s Crystals will get their vote, he will tell them that the moon is made of Folger’s Crystals.
