ex-President Trump
I assume it's still acceptable to have a Trump thread in a Politics forum?
So this is an obvious lie - basically aimed at low-info Boomers like my religions aunts. I have two questions:
a) Is anyone here who supports Trump bothered by lies like this?
b) Does anyone know what he's even talking about here? Like is there some grain of truth that he's embellishing on bigly?

Didn't watch but seen lots of reports of Trump slurring his words quite a bit.
I listened. I didn't notice slurring. Just typical rambling. Took 2 hours to cover maybe 30 mins of material.
I'm an ape of a human. I make that pretty clear.
But god damn it just hit me tonight how negative and nasty democrats tend to be. Trump's interview wasn't a big deal. That didn't stop Kamala from releasing a notice talking down to it. Or 2p2 posting a swath of repetitive fury about Trump.
I wish Trump's opposition wasn't so mean spirited. I'm right in the middle trying to figure out how to vote, and the whole thing just fuels my depressive symptoms. Shame on many of you for not taking a higher ground.
I particularly enjoyed team prononoun calling it Twitter and explicitly refusing to call it X.
trump was his normal adhd stream of conscious talking style - nothing slurred nor incoherent beyond that though
2 biggest nepo babies fling poo and whine after some delay because robber baron looted the company which has never shown a profit that he overpaid for because of Twitter or X? penis wagging.
This is Andy Kaufman-level satire right here. Well done.
Lol. Mean and nasty to poor Donnie for no reason, he's such a bastion of civility. You been under a rock for 10 years or something? Is this the first election when you've been old enough to vote?
Tuma is in some sort of bizaro world.
I hope you give a lot of thought about how important it is for a President to be honest. Trump lies at basically every interview and rally. And it isn't just sometimes like basically every other President (even Obama lied or made mistakes but his level was the lowest of any President). Trump is lying probably more than half the time. Some of his lies are exaggerations but sometimes they are extremely serious. Like that he won the election in 2020.
If Trump becomes president again it is likely that he will alter how elections are managed and whether or not there would even be another election. And if so, that he would somehow be allowed to be the candidate again.
When Trump talks he is completely out there crazy. When Biden talked just about every right wing poster would make it a point to stress that Biden was too old to be President again. That he couldn't talk. Etc. So in fairness to the way right wingers assessed Biden why isn't it OK to assess Trump's mental acuity and honesty as well?
Your choice for who to vote for may come down to the policies that are most important to you. Like Abortion. Or Immigration. Or the economy (Trump's goal is to decrease taxes for the wealthy and businesses which would again increase the deficit by trillions of $ as he did in his first term). Or even potential pandemics and how the President would treat it. But if you care about the future: the Republican party currently isn't for dealing with Global Warming, deaths from guns (especially at schools), inflation (shutting down immigration would increase inflation which was likely part of why inflation skyrocketed during Covid and also increasing China Tariffs would cause inflation to go up as well), LGBT+ rights (especially Trans rights), and likely a lot more I am forgetting.
I try not to be mean to posters here. Even when they call me a "blatant liar". Because I choose to post here in order to help people come to the decisions that would help the country. And especially to help posters like you who are undecided.
Nah, highlights played and he was very obviously slurring
The "slurring" was due to a tooth issue.
They got 95 million views, a record breaker, so people do seem to be interested.
To me the purpose of the interview sounded like Elon was lobbying for a position in his administration to review and lower government spending.
My favorite line from Elon was early after their 20 min. talk about the assassination attempt, Trump said something to the effect "If I got hit, we wouldn't be talking right now" and Musk said almost under his breath with a giggle "well we'd still be talking but from another place" (if u kno u kno).
95 million is a bogus number.
Sad Harris hasn't accepted the invitation.
trump had a script in front of him during the elon chat.
Elon doesn't believe in deadnaming
Also, wtf. I thought you were here for crypto and lols? Now you are a cardy carrying member of "not team pronoun"?
Lol no. That was his phone.
nice picture that attempts to cut out the paper with his talking points on it, that he's using another paper to keep place.. lol
seems silly even for you.
Pronouns are ******ed
10 years of pronoun controversy and I have yet to meet a single person who cares about pronouns more than straight middle aged white dudes
Not one single person who can match the collective ire of a group of fully unaffected people
You said he used a script, which usually means he's reading something word for word. Talking points and notes isn't a script.
Kamala would never be able to handle this type of an interview.
Sometimes people should choose the best person qualified for the job, even if they don't like them.
What's for lunch today, PB? More lead paint chips?
That's funny because so many corporate sites, linkedin, etc. people have Joe Smith he/him, Karen Jones she/her, Davie Moore she/they.
It's everywhere. It's ******ed.
If people didn't care, they wouldn't put it
