Despite losing the 2020 election to Joe Biden by more than seven million votes, Donald Trump tells a Republican summit near Orlando that he would have won every state if not for widespread voter fraud.
Just to get a feeling of how fucking dumb I think you are if you actually stand behind this dumbass.
After several recent gaffes — including getting Sioux City, Iowa, mixed up with Sioux Falls, South Dakota, in a speech last week as he drummed up support ahead of the Iowa primary — Mr Trump took fewer missteps in his Florida address.
But he did again repeat that Victor Orban's Hungary bordered on Russia, which it does not. The countries are about 1,000 kilometres apart at their closest point.
In a previous speech, he said Mr Orban was the leader of Turkey.
You think that’s a great choice to lead anything? It’s not even funny to make fun of you, because you are literally mentally handicapped.
“ I don’t get it. They say I lost but I won the most states. All the states, 53 in all. The greatest victory ever and they stole it from me, from you. The greatest victory by the greatest president!”
I wonder if that might sound better if he said it as, "I don't get it. They say I won, but I lost the most states. All the states, 53 in all. The greatest loss ever and they haven't stole it from me, from you. The greatest loss by the lousiest president!"
Whenever Trump utters a new completely bogus lie, I don’t think about him at all. Instead I think about his voters and wonder if there is any falsehood he could utter that would cause them to change their minds about him. It’s still hard for me to accept the idea that so many people think this is acceptable behavior in the final analysis. I know many Trump voters say that they don’t like Trump or approve of his lies, but they still claim he’s better than any Democrat due to his policies and strident action to support them. It really is a strong man appeal, and none of them seem to be able to see how letting this become the new precedent for their party will damage not just the Republican platform in the long run but the entire American political system.
I can see a future in which Gen Z or their children elect a similarly unhinged president who tries to ban organized religion or selectively deny federal funding to red states or some other nonsense. When the shoe is on the other foot, oh the cries of injustice these same Trumpers will make.
We are all so fucked. Glad my life is already 50% over. Future generations have my condolences.
Instead I think about his voters and wonder if there is any falsehood he could utter that would cause them to change their minds about him.
Exactly: the point of this kind of blatantly outrageous lie isn't actually to try to convince anybody of anything; it's to act as a fascist purity test. The goal is to force everyone either to sink deeper into the cult of personality by knowingly accepting and thus sharing in the lie, which introduces even more cognitive dissonance and makes it that much harder for them to break free in the future, or to out themselves as an enemy so that they can be purged.
Then you're part of the problem. You object to extremism on the Right, but favor it on the Left. I'm finding this is pretty typical of the average Lemmy user, sadly.
Like…it’s been fuckin YEARS you pathetic sad sack. No one gives a fuck anymore. Even his own supporters aren’t as gung ho because…it’s been fuckin years. It’s hard to get people excited to vote for you when you won’t shut the fuck up about the election four goddamn years ago.
I'd like to point out that even Ronald Fucking Reagan didn't win all 50 against Mondale. He lost Minnesota.
"Reagan won a landslide re-election victory, carrying 525 electoral votes, 49 states, and 58.8 percent of the popular vote. Mondale won 13 electoral votes from the District of Columbia, which has always voted overwhelming for the Democratic candidate, and his home state of Minnesota by a 0.18% margin."
could someone [in the court process] request a mental evaluation to determine if he is even competent to be found guilty? hes clearly off his rocker, and a potential danger to himself and others!
Disclaimer: I am not a Trumper but I also don't like out of context propaganda. Let him lose on his own merits because he will.
Where is the rest of the context on this? To me it sounds like he's saying "we won all 50 states, then we did well in the election". It sounds to me like he might be talking about winning all 50 states in the primaries. Which he did.
Now, the idea that he won the election by 12 million votes is obviously a load of shit. Maybe he's rambling in circles as always and meant to say that he won the primaries by a total of 12 million votes?
He's said this before. He literally thinks that he won in every state (even solid blue ones like New York and California), but that the Democrats rigged the election to make him lose.
Trump did not win all 50 states in the GOP primaries. In 2016. Cruz won Texas and a handful of other Midwestern and non-coastal western states; Kasich won his home state of Ohio, and Marco Rubio won in Minnesota.
In 2020, in some states, the GOP didn't even bother holding primaries or caucuses. States like Kansas, Nevada, SC, cancelled public voting in primaries and caucuses after the RNC pledged its undivided support to Trump in back February of that year. So Trump didn't really "win" primaries in "all 50 states" in 2020 either, because primaries were not held in all 50 states.
Maybe he meant that or maybe his big lie is getting so big that he's jumped the shark. Either way, Trump should learn how to share a coherent thought if he's going to run his fucking mouth 24/7. It's not our job to figure out how to decode his demented ramblings.
Every time Trump opens his gob and lets out a brain fart, someone has to come out and say it actually wasn't a fart at all but instead the seat leather.
The guy's a fucking narcissistic moron who wants to convince himself by convincing everyone else that he didn't lose to Joe fucking Biden in 2020. Which he did. Bigly, in fact.
Donald Trump has claimed that he won all 50 states in the 2020 US election at a Florida event where two of his rivals for the Republican presidential primaries were booed for suggesting the party should dump the former president before his legal woes catch up with him.
He is set to testify on Monday at his New York civil fraud trial, related to his business dealings in the state, after two of his children took to the witness stand last week.
Earlier in the evening, former state governors Asa Hutchinson and Chris Christie urged the party to move past Mr Trump — ahead of the latter's criminal and civil trials — to boost its chances of winning the 2024 election.
Former New Jersey governor Chris Christie, a one-time friend and advisor who has become Mr Trump's most vocal Republican critic, having broken with the ex-TV reality star after the 2020 election, was also booed by the audience and heckled as a "loser" and a "traitor".
Florida will also be the venue for the third presidential debate in Miami on Wednesday, which Mr Trump is again expected to skip, holding his own, alternative event.
The state's governor, Ron DeSantis, who is considered Mr Trump's closest challenger but with a meagre 14 per cent support, failed to land a punch on the man who once endorsed him but has since become a political enemy.
