    He’s such an asshole and it’s nice to see people finally starting to realize it. He’s had sycophants around him his entire life and doesn’t have the faintest clue what normal is.

    My jaw remains firmly in place. I was well prepared for this by his many, many, many other racist statements and actions.

    This interview was stunning. He whinged and moaned the whole time about being made to wait, technical issues, other news networks, and not having his ass kissed constantly by the hosts. He did not substantially answer even one single question, and used every opportunity to speak to go off the rails on immigrants and spew lies so blatantly false that the hosts could fact check him on the spot. No Donald, innocent people don’t need pardons. No Donald, there is no such thing as a post-birth abortion. Holy Christ I cannot believe how absolutely fucking retarded Trump really is.

    My favorite part was when he talked about how Kamala Harris is the worst vice president of all time and did a terrible job, but then shoved JD Vance under the bus and said that VP picks are just ceremonial and that they do nothing. Like, bro, which is it?

      Look, I’m usually the first guy to tell you that the r-word is unnecessary.

      But calling Trump a “weirdo” has left the party in shambles for some reason, it’s high time we called the man a retard, especially after this charade.

      Maybe we start talking in their terms more, since everything is projection with them. Oh, you love that billionaire? What a cuck. Oh, you think post-birth abortion exists? Dumb retard. Oh, you won’t debate Harris? Fucking pussy’s afraid to debate a girl!

        Yeah being a smarmy cunt isn’t going to help her win and that’s why she won’t. And on behalf of the world that fucking sucks.

          Harris should maintain a professional demeanor since she’s running for office.

          We on the other hand can up the ante.

            Absolutely, he’s a piece of shit and deserves to be called out. But every video I’ve seen of her comes off as condescending and arrogant, very similar to H Clinton, and not at all like Obama (for example) or even W. It’s all so polarising and I don’t get it.

                This is why your side will lose. Nothing I said there indicated that, I gave specific examples which go against what you have just insulted me with. You’re stuck in an echo chamber and anybody who isn’t drinking your koolaid gets labelled.

                  What side would that be? I’ve voted independent every election I’ve voted.

                  It’s your issue if your dog whistle is deafening and you’re so quick to label conversations as “your side vs mine”.

                  People don’t have to be democrats to abhor readily apparent bigotry.

        The weird thing works because it elicits them to defend themselves and, because their beliefs are in fact weird as hell, they do so in the most awkward ways. Turning off normies who might have some reactionary sympathy but are on the fence. Calling them slurs or just mean things isn’t going to work in the same way. It’s not like no one has ever called them cowards or assholes before.

      He came out swinging.

      He wasn’t there to win black votes or answer questions. He was there to shore up his base. He was there to get the media attention back on himself and away from others.

      It seems to have worked.

        What a fucking weirdo. Almost as strange as that couch fucker Vance. Now that’s a guy we can talk about for days. Strange strange man, I hear his kids are 1/3 couch.

        He went because his strategy is to peel off any low-info black voters he can.

        If you go into a community that overwhelmingly hates you, you can never do worse than where you started. Notice the handful of presumable plants cheering Trump on in the crowd, too.

        He gets his few talking points in and some “respect” him for reaching out to the community and that’s all he’s after.

          I thought the cheers were more like laughing at him and sometimes cheering like “oh my god. We got him!”

            Try having them watch the documentary, “The Brainwashing of my Dad.” long shot, but worth trying…

            Also he gives idiots like my parents an excuse to maintain their cognitive dissonance. I feel they couldn’t have instilled the decent base values they did while being actual neo-nazis so I’m trying to just hold out hope that they’re just dumbasses.

            I’ve been amazed for decades how trying to live the values my family instilled in me makes me some kind of commie that wants to destroy america.

      And, after all the momentum he’d made in the black community by offering gold sneakers and taking a bullet!

        You joke, but even though it’s not those obviously racist things causing it, a pretty astounding percentage of black voters were switching from Biden to Trump (by no means a majority, but like double-digit percentage increase), according to polling before the drop-out.

        I’m really hopeful this and Kamala reversed that trend.
