“I can just see the fake headlines,” Trump said. “President Trump is talking about all the money they’re making while people are suffering at the pump.”

“But I said, ‘I don’t give a damn, I’m gonna say it: We’re making a frickin fortune,’” he added.

    “The fake headlines that say I said the thing that I’m saying in literally this exact same breath.”

    This isn’t even the first time he’s said something like this…

    Advisers told me not to say it

    is the right “build up” before the punch line.

    He’s bragged about destroying the world through Iran war with the same brag before. Also adding, that destroying world is good for America because of high US oil production and US doesn’t need Straight of Hormuz.

    So there’s always been a tails we lose, heads we lose harder, plan for the war.

    It baffles me that people see this guy getting increasingly unhinged the farther into his dementia he gets, and they just shrug. Congress could remove him anytime they want too.

          They still just clap at anything he says. Must be nice, being in a cult and just ignoring or not realizing one’s struggles.

          But actually, I’d rather be aware of them.

      Yeah it’s almost like they don’t want to fix anything or hold any of these ghouls accountable at all because they all want their own piece of the money/power shit pie. Weird. Nobody can seem to figure it out. What in the world is going on?

      Greed. - And it’s such a disgusting disease that raping children is ignored in favor of it.

      I listened to an (american) podcast and on the side they talk a lot about pefophiles/guns because it was relevant. The point was always like: man pedophiles shold all just hang on the road, so other pedophiles would be scared. “When i was young my dad told me that they just made pedophiles dissapear.” And he was awefully proud of that. There was A LOT of talk about what they would do with a pedophile. Meanwhile they have the most famous pedophile in charge of their country, but not a single mention of that.

    The “fake headlines” that say the thing you just said…?

    Every day I’m in awe that this man made it anywhere near the oval office. Just completely unabashed stupidity comes out of his mouth constantly. Even if it wasn’t horrendously crooked (which it is), or criminal (which it also is), or callous, it would just be fucking stupid .

    He’s pissing in your fucking face.

      Because as long as he is pissing in minorities faces too, it’s acceptable for them.

      They are just brainwashed.

            citation needed ? people are born with many things eg diabetes, who now go on to survive. You have asserted facts with no evidence.

            I used to think a decent education etc would help but I see no evidence of that.

              Critical thinking needed?

              Obviously there’s many conditions people can have and some people are better learners than others.

              Moron isnt meant literally, we are discussing the red voters who blindly follow Trump, that’s the context. People who were born into poor states, into poor families, who didnt get the chance to have good education. They became morons. Obviously babies are fucking morons. Whats with these comments completely ignoring the context???

          It is important to clarify that they are hateful morons. The “hate”-part is doing a lot of work. You can be a moron and not be a Trump supporter, but it is very rare to see a hateful moron who isn’t one.

        That’s right. The “editorial” for small town papers around here, which are mostly owned by super rich people now is a satire bit about the editor making fun of himself wanting to be king, to try and make fun of the no kings movement. Nothing of actual substance ever enters conservative owned media outside of them making fun of it so their base sadly thinks they are being clever by rejecting opposing views.

        Leopards been eating good for far longer than that. At least since politics was invented. Probably even before then.
