I took a shit the other day - they don't want you to know this but it's true - took a big, big shit, a really beautiful, big... big shit, I stood up and said, "Wow, that's a big shit." People are saying it's the biggest shit they've ever seen. Lots of people are saying it, it's true. People come up to me and say, "Mr President, sir, we've never had shits like that before." And Kamala Harris, Fartin' Kamala - I call her Fartin' Kamala - she wants to take your toilets, folks. No more toilets, that's what they want, it's crazy. I had more toilets - thousands of toilets, beautiful toilets. And now you have - they're killing us on toilets. It's a disgrace. My plumber, he's the most amazing plumber, folks, he's always doing the pipes and the... Y'know what he tells me? All our plumbing is coming from different countries, bad countries. Why aren't we using good American pipes? We're gonna bring back American pipes, people. It's terrible what these foreign pipes are doing to this country, awful. We had a beautiful deal with China, it was a perfect deal, but now they're killing us - you know what goes in those pipes? Gas, and many, many other things, but gas - really powerful stuff, very powerful. They wanna take our gas, folks. It'll all be electric, electric cars and... all the other things, electric. If I win, we're getting rid of the electric, no more electric, folks, it's terrible, it really is.
It's true. Google "Donald Trump inflation " for more information. Make sure you turn safe search off, the GOP has been trying to cover this up for years
Literally millions of them are about to vote for the most pungent pile of shit they ever stepped in simply because otherwise they would have to admit they made a mistake ever. To themselves.
In the context of what we’re given in the article he could have very well been talking about the people at home and how mad they are about him(and all of his obvious lying) being corrected. He does know now, well after the debate ended, that the MAGA losers are foaming at the mouth over this.
So he’s probably not imagining an audience that wasn’t there but I’m still not ready to be 100% confident in that.
“And they didn’t correct her once,” Trump told Greg Gutfeld. “And they corrected me, everything I said, practically. I think nine times or 11 times. And the audience was absolutely– they went crazy.”
That really sounds like he's talking about an audience he heard. I'm not sure how else he could make such a claim.
Funny how "we" always have to interpret and deduce WTF Trump is talking about... you'd think that a candidate for President would have a coherent thread of thought and, at least, a modicum of clarity in his speech
This is white washing his crazy. There is no reason to give someone who constantly babbles nonsense the benefit of the doubt. If it sounds like he meant something crazy he probably meant it just so.
The problem with that is that, being on the reasonable side, if we just assume the obvious and then are somehow 'proven' wrong on a specific topic (there are thousands of them, so it's bound to happen sometime) we legitimately lose actual credibility in the eyes of people who matter.
Like the 'they're eating the dogs!' things. It's perfectly reasonable to mock him for it being an issue, but insisting it has never happened and that even the idea is ridiculous, opens the entire side to being wrong if even one crazy or oblivious person of color has ever done it, which it almost certainly has. I mean if you look hard enough, you could probably find a crazy example of that from any cultural group. One example and pretty much all the mocking gets flipped around in the minds of anyone only half paying attention, and certainly from the other side next time we insist something doesn't happen.
People so stupid as to believe this crap are on average too stupid to change their mind by communicating with them. You don't win them over any more than you convince creationists or flat earthers. Picture a series of concentric circles. In the center is 20% of the US pop true MAGA believers. They are unconvincable and vocal. Neither they nor their audience reacts to reasoned careful discussion. You humiliate them and make them look like the evil garbage they are. The next 15% or so is watching the humiliation and getting quieter. The next 10% at the fringes you pick away as the bottom 20% get less and less cool.
By the time the entire group has shrunk from 45 to 35 rendering it perceptibly impotent to get anything done and making its proponents look like losers. The 15% publicly claims not to have been that into you and even the true believers get quieter.
People rely on social proof of truth more than logic or reason.
In the US white supremacist ideals are held by 1 in 10 but publicly these are humiliating ideas to hold and defend and as long as this is so they wont be making a come back
Having low standards for ourselves just because they’re mean and stupid is lazy and sad. There are a trillion things that we can point to about these wretched people that don’t require even the slightest bit of a reach. They’re brain-dead because it’s literally required to adhere to that entire ideology, what would your excuse be?
I mean I literally said that I my belief is not that he misspoke but that we took a bit of a leap there when an easy enough explanation for the chosen words exist. I went as far as to say that I won’t rule out him just being a moron, either. I assumed I was quite clear in all of that.
Seriously, I get bummed when I hear that assassination attempts on him fail, I hate the guy as much as anyone. But I’m also not going to debase myself into jumping to conclusions like a common MAGA dipshit just because I feel like his nastiness gives me permission to lower my standards. That’s literally JD Vance type shit and I have no intention on sharing a “level” with him, either.
I was gonna say this, actually. I hate trump with a passion, I think he is a jackass and a moron, and I can't stand his brainwashed, braindead cult of idiot followers. That said, I'd like our hatred and anti trump rhetoric to stay valid and focused in this reality. He was clearly talking about the people watching the debate across the world. Let's not stoop to his level by misrepresentation.
Of course there are multiple articles about it? Trump is garbage. People are going to talk shit even though they know exactly what he meant. I'd like to be better than that, personally.
I'm not sure why you think I care whether or not Trump is aware of me calling him a demented weirdo that hears imaginary sounds and posting on Lemmy about it.

He just can't stop inflating his crowd size.
I just hope we don't start hearing about how all the people cheered when he took a shit.
The biggest shits of all! Yuuuge!
FTFY

That's coherent. Otherwise it wasn't bad.
Bigger than Bono?
Bigger than Jesus, Bigger than wrestling. Bigger than The Beatles, and bigger than breast implants.
my shitologist friends were like we've never seen anything like this
Aren't those the stars people give on Twitter or Truth? (Or whatever Truth Social uses for upvoting.)
💨 I assume Truth Social just uses this emoji. A puff of wind. Which is also sometimes used to represent farting. Appropriately.
He just can't stop inflating his everything.
Seems he really had trouble to accept his penis size and wants to compensate with...everything

I'm good. Thanks though...
Is the crowd in the room with us now?
He's IRL doing the rambling made up story from Facebook that ends with "and everyone clapped"
In his next interview he's going to talk about a fan of his that he met and end with "and that kid was Albert Einstein"
"That man's name? Hannibal Lecter."
A wonderful man!
There are absolutely no limits to conservative gaslighting attempts. Conservatives are simply incapable of honesty.

Ok I’m gunna be thay guy:

You and I are seeing very different contexts:
That really sounds like he's talking about an audience he heard. I'm not sure how else he could make such a claim.
I definitely see that too, which is why I’m aaying I’m not 100% confident. Man’s insane and I wouldn’t put hallucinations or a broken memory past him.
Anyway, I don’t want to get too involved in defending that shitheel so I’ll leave my thoughts there.
9/11? I wonder what the Qlerics would say about that.

Taking obvious crazy at face value isn't having low standards its having low expectations.

It obviously was not that clear since there are multiple articles about it and people debating what he meant.
Of course there are multiple articles about it? Trump is garbage. People are going to talk shit even though they know exactly what he meant. I'd like to be better than that, personally.
You want to be better than considering what someone actually means when they speak? I'm not sure I agree that that's better.
They went crazy! They were eating the dogs! They were eating the cats!
It was the best Haitian barbecue they ever had!
Attendees said "Best thing ever cooked in Ohio"
Wow, a Fox News interview. So brave.
Oh, grandpa ...
I’ll stop calling them fascists when they stop being fascists.
When he isn't a political weirdo? What community do you think you're in?
Also, what does ignoring a man who has a good chance of being president next year achieve?
Do you think he is aware that the Political Weirdos community on lemmy.world exists?
I'm not sure why you think I care whether or not Trump is aware of me calling him a demented weirdo that hears imaginary sounds and posting on Lemmy about it.
To clarify: I couldn't give less of a shit.
Why on Earth would the media stop talking about the Republican candidate for president? That makes absolutely no sense.
And, again, this is the Political Weirdos community. Who exactly do you expect us to talk about?
How about when he fucks off and stops influencing American politics.
Yeah, why would anybody be talking about the GOP presidential candidate in the final couple months of the election?
