Meh.
im anti-trump but i hate this type of journalism. take a joke of context in order to make something up to get mad about. yes that will reach over the isle for sure.
there’s a lot to actually hate about the guy. why upvote this shit?
You know what? You’re right.
So do you intend to do anything about it? Like maybe take down the post?
im also a sexy wizard 🪄
I put on my robe and hat
“I don’t care about you. I just want your vote.” - Trump 2024
The most honest he will ever be
Honestly, it’s like he’s just trying to test where the line is at this point.
Who knows, maybe even he’s surprised by how much these supporters gobble up whatever shite he spews.
I kinda thought he was attempting a joke but he only knows how to be mean for a laugh and has no idea why an actual joke works. But since his fans will cheer for anything mean it doesn’t help either. Like the toddler that learned people laugh when they say a swear word, let’s just keep doing that until nap time.
If it’s personal behavior, there is no line.
Seriously, we need to internalize this: If you support Donald Trump in 2024 at this point, there is no goddamn line. There is nothing too atrocious or puerile or insulting to his own base that he could do or say to lose them at this point. He owns them.
I used to joke that he could literally eat a baby live on stage at one of his rallies and not lose supporters, because he’d insist it was fake news even as the blood dripped down his chin.
It’s not a joke anymore. He really could do it, and far too many of his supporters would believe him over their own lying eyes.
Trump support, at this point, is a mental health crisis in this country.
I reckon if he just turned it around and became a stand up guy, helping immigrants settle peacefully, becoming a role model for the world stage from a moral standpoint, he’d lose all those supporters.
It’d be amazing to watch that character arc too.
He tried to tell them to vaccinate once and he got booed.
The only thing that could lose his base is acting like a decent person.
Except he wouldn’t even deny it anymore. He’d just say “That baby tasted awful. I’ve ate much tastier babies than that. That baby was a democrat, and voted for Obama.”
And his base would cheer that the world has one less person in it who would vote for Obama in 2042. But don’t worry, abortion is still illegal, because they’re all pro-life…until you’re born.
And yes, I’M fully aware of the logical inconsistancies of that scenario. They are not. That’s the joke.
As his supporters laughed, Trump then went on to say that reporters attending the rally would take his words out of context and tell viewers that the ex-president had said a “horrible” thing onstage.
Title is literally that
Wow how did so few people itt learn what “ironic” humor really is? Who the heck tries to defend Donald Trump by saying the shit he says is “clearly a joke”? You’re no better than those fuckers who think pewdiepie paying a homeless guy to hold a sign that says “kill all jews” is ok bc it’s clearly ironic
Always saying the quiet part out loud.
Trump doesn’t have a quiet part. He only has two settings. Either really loud and obnoxious, or sleeping and farting. There is no inbetween.
Oh man, I hate trump but it’s pretty obviously a joke.
Ah yes because trump hasn’t done anything to lose benefit of doubt
“I never joke”
Trump himself
And it’s true
I mean, jokes are supposed to be funny. Trump is never funny.
It was a hook, and the media grabbed it. It’s really more of a way to continue to divide people and keep them in the voting groups. Trump won’t get anyone from the left to vote for him, but he has to keep those on the right in his camp. So these are tools to alienate each from the other and secure the base.
And it’s also him saying what he really thinks out loud, but it’s been shown time and again he can do that and it won’t be those words that drive people away. His biggest fear is silence, if the media isn’t talking about him then people might drift to other places.
When someone tells you who they are, believe them.
Hi, I’m Tom Hanks. But what most people don’t know is that “Tom Hanks” is just a stage name. My real name is Hank Toms…
He says real shit, then adds, " I’m joking. Remember that when the news reports on things I say. It’s not real. Unless it is."
“Your face is ugly and that is why you can’t get a man. Haha I’m just joking.” - Trump
Trump voters loved this.
Yep, and the news picked it up like vultures and ran with it taking it out of context. It’s obviously a joke, but since we don’t like orange man, we treat it as not a joke
