So we've moved from that didn't happen to it wasn't that bad to it's not a big deal, to it's not my fault all in like 24 hours.

Love this speedrunning he's doing.

[–] ech@lemm.ee 85 points 2 weeks ago

That didn't happen.

And if it did, it wasn't that bad.

And if it was, that's not a big deal.

And if it is, that's not my fault. <--- We Are Here

And if it was, I didn't mean it.

And if I did, you deserved it.

[–] finley@lemm.ee 74 points 2 weeks ago

it's the only prayer he knows

[–] Cephalotrocity@biglemmowski.win 19 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

What's the next step again? I think it's "they deserved it", but didn't he kinda already try that right at the start with the mental disorder BS?

I didn't mean it, then you deserved it.

[–] criss_cross@lemmy.world 19 points 2 weeks ago

Can't wait for the "I did it and they deserved it" portion.

He's blaming the parents of dead soldiers.

What a loser.

[–] Atelopus-zeteki@fedia.io 53 points 2 weeks ago (12 children)

Let's make certain that he loses.

From the party of personal responsibility.

[–] DogPeePoo@lemm.ee 48 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Seriously.

So why did a member of your campaign put hands on a member of the military and argue and shove them ????

Where the fuck is the journalism?! 😠😡😡

[–] lemmy_at_em@lemmy.world 21 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

She is not a member of the military but a civilian employee, and she is too afraid of the MAGA cult to press charges.

She was a woman who dared to question whether a man who believed that he was absolutely entitled to do so about breaking federal law and military policy that he had been told he was not to break in support of the Glorious Leader. She was clearly hysterical.

Lol, he just threw the parents that were kissing his ass about the visit right under the bus.

And I bet they’d kiss his ass for that, too.

[–] b161@lemmy.blahaj.zone 17 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Trump simply can’t resist throwing his sycophants under the bus.

Trump " I don't know the rules or regulations there."

This bitch doesn't know the rules or regulations of anything. Fucking illiterate, fat, orange stain Tupperware bowl, asshole. I hope nothing but the worse for him.

[–] hate2bme@lemmy.world 21 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

Just like the Dave Chappelle skit where his white friend says "I didn't know I couldn't do that" and gets off with a warning.

we're leading the internet

I don't know who posted those videos

probably "the parents"

The rules are very clear

It's kind of a grey area

I swear he manages to talk for hours and never actually say anything...

[–] lettruthout@lemmy.world 39 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Yeah. When will a journalist call him out on this? Maybe ask pointed questions? Ask for clarification? Call out his rambling?

[–] SGforce@lemmy.ca 22 points 2 weeks ago

Journalists do occasionally, but it usually gets buried real fast since the "liberal media" wants him to appear not totally unhinged for reasons like being "unbiased" and maintaining a friendly relationship with billionaires.

[–] MrJameGumb@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago

The person in the article kind of does this a little bit but just seems to give up after the third or fourth non answer

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 48 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I hope this haunts his campaign and refuses to go away.

[–] dudinax@programming.dev 22 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

Something should haunt him. without ignoring everything else, Donny's opponents should hammer on one thing, maybe this, until he apologizes and fires people involved.

We need to prove to the world that he's not allowed to behave badly without having to address it.

Biden got called out for rambling all the time (and it was pretty fair, to be honest). Why are Trump’s ramblings and non sequiturs not equally highlighted? The guy speaks like he’s reading a scrabble board.

[–] NABDad@lemmy.world 31 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Because Trump's been an idiot all along. With Biden there was a decline, so they could claim he was no longer competent. Trump was never competent, so any decline doesn't really matter much.

The "I was just doing what I was told" defense isn't a defense and that's been proven.

However, it's also been proven this guy suffers 0 consequences to anything ever so....

[–] PedroMaldonado@lemmy.world 23 points 2 weeks ago

That trump is a piece of shit

[–] einlander@lemmy.world 21 points 2 weeks ago

That didn't happen. And if it did, it wasn't that bad. And if it was, that's not a big deal. And if it is, that's not my fault. And if it was, I didn't mean it. And if I did, you deserved it.

Everyone is thinking of it.

[–] Communist_Synthesizer@lemmy.world 19 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

The last two months have been a goddamn rollercoaster.

It almost makes me wonder if we really are in a sim and someone is just pressing buttons to fuck with us and see what we do.

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

We'll know for sure if we start seeing legally-distinct kaiju suddenly show up in cities.

Honestly, I don't even blame Trump for this particular tactic. I blame his base.

They are all whores for nonsensical conspiracy theories. They literally reject the reality in front of their face for "pizza parlors are all running pedophile sex fight club franchises in their basements owned by George Soros!" type shit. If he didn't say it, they would and probably already did run with something similar in their echo chambers.

[–] x00za@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 2 weeks ago

Let's just blame all of them.

It's not like he didn't know what he was doing.

[–] itsgroundhogdayagain@lemmy.ml 17 points 2 weeks ago

Yes, curse those grieving families! Always trying to set up campaigning politicians and their cameras who just randomly show up to Arlington.

"Could have been. Wasn't. But could have been."

[–] RestrictedAccount@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I’m still waiting on that video evidence that proves he is innocent. He promised it a few days ago. I wonder how long we will have to wait?

Newsflash: Old man Trump doesn’t know what’s going on.

[–] Dorkyd68@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I cringe everything I hear him speak "were leading her in in the internet " my good bitch that's cause your videos are being passed around so we can make fun of you. Everything he says hes beating her in the polls etc, I immediately check. Not once have I found it to be true
