Trump on Harris' racial identity: "I don't care what she is. Whatever she wants to be is okay with me. All I can say is I read where she was not black where she put out and then I read that she was black and that's okay with me."

Trump on Afghanistan: "If you take a look at when I was president, the Taliban killed lots of our soldiers with snipers. I got involved with them because they're the fighting force. And Abdul is the head of the Taliban and I told Abdul not to do it anymore and he asked why I sent him a picture of his house and I told him to figure that out. Mike Pompeo negotiated the exit, but we wouldn't have done it the way Biden did it. They left beautiful new equipment behind. They didn't do what the agreement said. It was terminated because they didn't do. They did the worst withdrawal and in my opinion the most embarrassing moment in the history of our country and that's why Russia attacked Ukraine."

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

Trump was actually just offering to list Abdul's house on Zillow.

The media is 100% in his pocket.

Don't underestimate the number of conservatives who work in News Production. I doubt the moderators are the ones with their hands on the mute button. Some guy in the production booth is.

There were a lot of lefties, but they didn't end up excelling in the industry like the conservatives.

Trump... doesn't want Ukraine to win the war? He dodged the fucking question?

[–] [email protected] 84 points 4 months ago (1 children)

“We got a president that doesn’t know he’s alive”

[–] [email protected] 30 points 4 months ago (4 children)

Trump when asked who should win in Ukraine: "I want the war to stop, I want to save lives. People being killed by the millions. It's so much worse than the numbers that you're getting, which are fake. We have to give them $250 billion because we don't ask Europe who are at a greater risk because Biden and YOU don't have the courage to ask Europe like I did with NATO and they paid up, which is why they don't like me as much as weak people. You look at what's happening. They pay lots less. They should be forced to equalized. I want to get the war settled. I know both Zelensky and Putin well and they respect me. They don't respect Biden. Why would you respect him? He hasn't called Putin in two years. This is a war that's dying to be settled. When I win, when I'm president-elect, I'll get them together. That war would have never happened. When I saw Putin after I left, because this country has gone to hell, when I saw him setting up soldiers, I thought he was going to negotiate but he wasn't because of Biden and millions are people are dead and it will be WWIII and where is Biden? We don't even know if he is a president. They threw him out of our campaign like a dog. Biden doesn't know he's alive."

Trump when asked again: "I think the war should finish. Negotiate a deal. People's lives are destroyed."

Harris finally tells him he's not running against Biden.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 4 months ago

Trump literally said he'd prefer if Putin occupied Kyiv and if fewer Russians died - its absolutely fucking insane.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Trump says more about Ukraine: "Putin would be in Moscow and he wouldn't have lost all those soldiers, but he would have been sitting in Moscow much happier than he is now. He's got a thing that other people don't have, nuclear weapons. No one ever thinks about that. Maybe he'll use them, but he hasn't been that threatening. Nobody talks about it. They sent her to negotiate peace before the war started but it started because she is weak and stupid and she negotiated and the war started. Biden is the worst president in the history of our country. She is the worst vice president, but she is worse than Biden."

He said Harris met with Putin. She never met Putin.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago

"The head of NATO said I did something he's never seen. I got them to pay up by threatening them. He said it was one of the most incredible jobs he'd ever seen done."

He's absolutely blowing the whole Putin endorsed her thing lmao

He's making it too obvious, he's such a bad liar.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 months ago

I love that she keeps baiting him and it keeps working. She's hitting him on his racism now.
