Trump promises to endorse Jake Paul for office before the pair enjoy a YMCA dance together
Trump has promised to endorse Jake Paul if the controversial YouTuber-turned-boxer ever runs for office.
Trump made the remarks yesterday during a speech at a packaging facility in Kentucky, after being joined on stage by the influencer.
The president’s declaration of support followed a brief speech by Paul, who later posted a video of the pair hitting Trump’s now infamous YMCA dance.

I really thought Jake Paul would dissapear from public perception after the suicide forest incident but instead its always getting fucking worse with that guy. Gonna piss on his grave.
Jake and Logan Paul are the archetypical rich kids who grew to be narcissistic and functionally sociopathic.
Those two assholes would never shy away from the spotlight. And the dumbfuck iPad kids who grew up idolizing them remain as their loyal incel fanbase to this day.
Also, not that it matters because they're basically the same person, but that was Logan Paul who did the Suicide Forrest video.
Which one got their jaw broken?

At :20 you can see the fear in is eyes as he's about to just eat the right hook. Glorious shot.
Bust the other guy's jaw, so we don't have to ask that question.
The suicide forest one is Logan Paul. Jake Paul is the one who got his jaw smashed
I literally refuse to learn the difference between them
Just make sure you don't confuse them with Paul Logan.
Also I agree and also refuse to learn the difference between them.
Me with Oasis. Which one is the asshole with the bad haircut?
Do you have any idea how little this narrows it down?
That's the joke.
I'm sorry I even know who they are.
Not gay at all.
100% not the gay national anthem.
Reality has become a fucking cartoon.
It always was. But thanks to information technology, everyone now has a front row set to the clown show.
Every time I think America has hit rock bottom, Trump pulls out the jackhammer and tries to dig deeper.
Surly a Trump endorsement means political death nearly everywhere, no?
Buddy I can tell you haven't been to the south recently

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I seem to see more of these types of stories than the opposite.
Too many Trump aligned candidates seem to win, but I seem to see candidates lose when Trump vocally endorses them. To wit, Hershall Walker.
The nazi propaganda induced mental illness epidemic will not be cured with reality or logic.
About 1/3rd of the US is still vehemently supporting Trump.
Don't underestimate how massive (nor incredibly fucking stupid) the cult is.
Sure but we can backtest the power of the Trump endorsement, and even as early as 2018, it didn't mean shit. Something thats been academically notable about Trump is how their ability to defy polling or elevate surprising candidates isn't transferable. Trumps endorsement has never meant a sure thing, and right now? You'd be better off getting Harris's endorsement.
This is a grift, I promise. There will be some stupid fucking crypto or something. He'll lose. Then he'll go work for OAN or some shit.
Sir, I hate to disappoint, but you've actually crossed into the timeline where politicians in the next decade will actually compete at how many babies they can eat at one sitting. The mask is off....
Maybe you haven't checked the polls lately.
The president had an 83% approval among Republicans, a 3% approval among Democrats and a 28% approval among independent voters, as well as a 48% approval among men and 28% approval among women. The survey also found that 53% of voters oppose military action in Iran, 40% support it and 7% are undecided.

83% approval from his base. Crazy. The rich boomers LOVE war.
Another poster made a great point that, however well Trump does and continues to do in polls of his base, that support isn't necessarily transferrable to other candidates. And indeed, often it's counter intuitively counter productive.
That's the trend. An endorsement might help in the Primary, but it's death in the General.
After the Midterm bloodbath, MAGA candidates will understand that Trump is a liability, and will not be seeking Trump's endorsement. We might even see anti-MAGA Republican campaigns.
Just when you think things couldnt possibly any dumber.
I was positive this was going to be the onion.
... I really wish this was the onion.
Oh...we haven't seen Ted Nugent yet.

Two of the dumbest criminals in modern history
If they would've grown up in a sane county, no one would know who the broke rapist who sits in jail and the egg farmer's helping hand was.
What policies do these two people agree on?
Keep crypto scams going! Also trump doesn't know policy anyway, he just signs what his handlers ask him to.
If you're rich, you should be immune from consequences of any kind
What makes you think that that's relevant? Neither of them run on policy
That's the joke
Fair enough
Might makes right
Jake Paul doesn't have any policies.
Is that film-a-dead-guy Paul, or fake-boxer Paul?
Those are different people? /s
Clown timeline
Trump should demonstrate his support for by getting his face bashed in by a black boxer.
I'm neither black, nor a boxer but I'm available.
If a group of people states that they don't condone violence and don't accept responsibility for this, but offers to crowdfund legal defense for this, is that criminal?
I'm just asking questions.
Send in AJ to break his jaw
That tracks.
If they’re both still alive by then, it is a critical failure of both this nation and this world
What can Jake Paul's credibility among far-right people be after a Black person broke his face? How could Paul protect MAGA women and children from the horde of non-whites if he couldn't even defend himself?
I am getting president camacho vibes
That's an insult to President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Camacho, and you will speak of that fictional moron with respect. He was still a leader that wanted the best for his countrymen, and knew well enough to defer to the smartest man in the room. That's about as far from Trump as you can get in terms of "vibes".
Also not in the Epstein files.
LOL
Too fast. I was thinking trench food with a side of steel lung.
Aww we got moderated for
CELEBRATING THE ELIMINATION OF KIRK WHICH WAS GOOD.
KILL TRUMP
Pretty reasonable for mine. Encouragement of self harm and all that, not like I feel sorry. Would probably say far worse to the profligates face, know damned well that I've said worse to actual humans I care about.
Regardless the mods still have to watch their collective ass, letting Lemmy as a whole devolve into a bloodlusted fuckfest could cause problems.
Oh? Problems sound like solutions to me.
Getting Lemmy instances taken down due to us going nuts and perpetually fed posting does nothing but help shitholes like Reddit, Facebook, and Xitter.
Never happened. Never will happen.
That brain damaged fellow is going to need a rape kit in the morning
Which one?
I wouldn’t nominate Jack Paul to be a gong farmer… actually I take that back. That’s exactly what he should be doing.
Im kinda conflicted. I really hate his policies but im kinda impressed he can be so loud and proud at his age and retain his base. I notice a lot of his base are now up for doing those things to. So its no longer being shamed the way it used to.
