Trump Scraps Town Hall Q+A, Plays Music for Crowd Instead | The former president said, "Let's just listen to music," and abruptly stopped answering questions [for 30 minutes]
I think that's the point. He never cared. He never worked for this and never wanted it. He has been made into an icon by others and has become aware that his actions are not attached to consequences. Imagine you were playing fortnite but your character was invincible. You'd just be running up to people and doing obnoxious dance moves after awhile. That's what has happened here.
It's also turnout game that matter at single digit percentages. If it dissuades 1% of trump supporters from turning out that matters. Or if it increases dem turnout by 1% that also matters
You not be reading the news much, but the Bible Belt seems totally cool with Nazi behavior. Less cool with people stringing them along about being a Nazi. Fucked up, yes. This is what's happening in this country right now though.
This is just one of thousands of rage bait and 'trump bad', 'trump stupid' articles. There is nothing of real substance other than to get anti-trumpers to click on the link.
If you went to a more pro-trump site you would see very similar articles about Kamala and Biden
Trump [...] answered a handful of questions from supporters before pausing the town hall due to the attendees requiring medical attention. At some point, Trump joked, “Personally, I enjoy this. We lose weight, you know. No, you lose weight. We could do this — lose four or five pounds.” He added, “Would anybody else like to faint? Please raise your hand.”
Whaaaat the fuck is he talking about? Glibness about his fainting attendees' health and barely veiled annoyance at them aside, what does that even mean? What did this have to do with losing weight? Is he losing weight by having to stand longer while people are medically attended to? If that's what he meant, it's a weird way to flex, implying that you are fat from sitting all the time, but ok.
Somehow that's even worse than "won't be fooled again"
At least Bush could think to the end of his sentence, even if it takes half the sentence to get there. Trump has to say it out loud before he can think about it.
I think maybe it’s because the fainting was presumably because it was hot? And if you sweat enough, you can lose a couple pounds or something? Still, pretty gross.
Kinda want to displace “weird” with “gross.” Weird can be good. Gross is never good.
America is ..... for putting up with this clown show of a so called 'political choice'.
I gave up about a year ago debating about dumb politicians ... at one point you just have to look at the entire situation and ask yourself, how dumb can everyone be? How collectively dumb and unaware does a nation have to be to get to this point?
Improving the education system needs to be priority #1 for the dems. We need it more than ever now and all they need to do to enhance their base is get iQs above 80 before kids Graduate high school.
He doesn't give a shit. He firmly believes that the fix is in and regardless of what happens, he'll just win with slates of fake electors from trump states, or failing that, the court. He (and his people) don't honestly believe that the actual vote means shit.
And the sad reality is is that he's got a good shot at being absolutely right about that.
Unfortunately, his "I don't give a shit" demeanor literally endears him to his voters.
They vote for him because they firmly feeeeeel that gubmit is holding their rugged individualism back and needs to be destroyed.
Of course their throats would be coughing up blood from all the screaming the millisecond one of the government services they don't appreciate or even realize they receive all day every day stopped happening.
But having abandoned, or never having had, basic critical thinking and reasoning skills, they'd just blame all the out groups they despise for the consequences of their own votes.
Just another stunt to stay in the media for any reason, no matter what.
Edit: having unwillingly thought about this more… no, this is just his overcompensation for the sick burn that people leave his rallies early. He’s too petty for this to be staged media attention performative art.
