It doesn’t matter what he says.
He could get up there and say yabba dabba doo kill all blacks. These morons would still vote for him.
It’s never been about anything but themselves and their hate for democrats and their invented enemies.
He could get up there and say yabba dabba doo kill all blacks. These morons would still vote for him.
His base wouldn't be phased by that. If anything his numbers would go UP.
The black trump supporters would say, that he didn't mean it and that they like he speaks his mind.
Yeah, trying to follow his incoherent verbal diarrhoea, he absolutely speaks his scrambled mind
It doesn’t matter what he says.
It really doesn't. Just watch a rally, in full, and try to summarise one topic he addressed. Just one.
You can't, because he babbles incoherently. He knows nothing about any of the topics that he stumbles into.
The only time his words can be understood, provided he doesn't go off script, is when he's reading what someone else wrote for him!
This discussion is making me vaguely wonder if you could poison a chatbot AI's training data by putting enough Trump speeches in it.
And yet, it seems to be destroying his chances. So maybe it in fact does matter what he says.
I hope I’m wrong and people are finally waking up.
So...yeah, you were right.
Whoa there with that woke agenda. Yer making too much sense.
I hope you are right because I am feeling your username rn, I have confidence in Harris' campaign but voters have to do their thing too.
Spoiler: voters did not do the thing.
That sentiment is premature until he loses.
Elsewhere on lemmy someone joked that around 10% of the americans will still vote for him when he's dead because his so called death is just a fake media conspiracy.
That would be fucking delicious. The GOP couldn't win a national election again.
When his base refuses to hold him accountable for anything he says, he can say anything he wants.
His base as well as his legislative and judicial collaborators in treason.
Or maybe it's like he was already a dumb as fuck bigoted rapist well before the dementia got this bad.
See, I kind of think that too... but he has to win if he wants to stay out of prison...
i think it's probably more accurate to say "he doesn't care if he wins by votes"...
Yeah trump is planning on winning by getting the votes. Someone in power promised him that he doesn't need the votes, Johnson most likely and the Supreme Court are probably prime to hand it to him. We got to hope more people vote Harris so this can't happen.
Yeah trump is planning on winning by getting the votes.
Did you mean to put a "not" in there?
"Trumo".
Can't tell if typo, or insult that I don't understand the context of.
My take: He has to win if he wants Pootin to keep the pedophile videos away from the public.
It never was about pissing... It was about the age of the pissers.
Well like when he was jerking off a microphone and pretending to suck on it?
The dude's a capital fucking loser and so are his supporters.
It’s almost like he’s not a serious candidate. One that, instead, is in this only in this to enrich himself, and maybe avoid the consequences of his previous illegal behavior. Like, I don’t know, they’ve been hoodwinked by a con-man. I mean, that can’t be it, can it?
Want has nothing to do with it. He doesn't care. Winning the vote is, and always has been, his plan B. Plan A, as far as he's concerned, is still chugging along without a hitch. Speaker of the House refuses to certify the count, goes all the way up to the supreme court, Supreme Court installs him.
He has literally no other plan than that.
Meh, just a spoiled man-child making defeatist pity-me comments now that the time to pay the piper is approaching. “Maybe I shouldn’t have been such a dumbass and actually tried to do some real work…”
Billionaires don't work
He has never wanted to do the job as president. Not last time, not this time.
Called it! Only his base is dumb enough to keep voting for him anyway.
Trump Insiders Like, literally, physically inside him?
