My new strategy to combat that guy’s triggering sociopathic voice in his fundraising ads— er lie-a-thons— on You Tube?

I report, then block.

You’ll find a checklist option form in that process:

— untruthful, misleading, scams usually describes them. But you might see them an ad that qualifies for the sex, guns, or violence reporting.

I just have more than one layer of ad block and never see them to begin with.

Trump’s method is based entirely on one myth that many Americans hold dear to their hearts - that everything costs too much and that immigrants and minorities are to blame. Trump loves to stoke resentment by making up facts about eggs, bacon and bread costing double, triple, quintuple what it cost in the glory days of his chaotic term. Immigration was illegal, gas was a buck, and everyone wished everyone else a merry Christmas, even in July. None of it matters if it’s true. He SOUNDS like their inner monologue. He won’t actually do anything to make average Americans lives better, just as he didn’t the first time. But he promises to do unrealistic things, and he constantly reminds people how miserable they are.

I’d like to believe, with confidence, that his political career is over, but I’ve been let down by American politics over and over again.

Stonekettle transcribed about 3-5 minutes of the speech, I'm guessing, and my doG it is a completely incoherent word salad that, if you heard some guy saying on a street corner, you'd assume he needed to be in care somewhere:

"Very big plant, uh, many countries they do that, and, uh, and then all of a sudden you hear that they're leaving Milwaukee or wherever they may be, located, very sad to see it, and, it's so simple, I mean, you know, this isn't like Elon with his rocket ships that land within twelve inches on the moon where they wanted to land, or he gets the, engines back, that was the first I really, I said who the hell did that..."

Can somebody explain the McDonalds thing to me? Why is it so important that MAGAts believe she never worked there?

JCfromNC's avatar

What the other two said, plus I think they really want to "prove" she's a lying liar that lies about even the smallest, least important things and you should never trust a word out of her mouth.

Because it always comes down to projection.

It's part of their "She's not a real American like you!" playbook.

All part of flooding the zone with shit. And to try to make the libs spend valuable time defending against the assertion.

I think he meant Michelin Man of the Year.

There's already more than enough fart noises around this household, thank you!

Gary, Indiana, don't forget the Motor City

This is supposed to be the New World

It was worse when they voted for this shit for brains

I don't think I buy that his comment about Detroit was a joke. I think it was more a dog-whistle. Which seems pretty obvious, despite Morning Joe spending a lot of time this morning trying to figure out why he would shit on the city he's currently campaigning in.

human being's avatar

I got the impression he started shit-talking it because that’s the only thing he “knows” about the city, so of course that’s what he’ll puke out.

It's the Rodney Dangerfield schtick, insult what the people you are speaking to ARE. Trump does it wherever he goes. It is only a dog-whistle in the aspirational sense, "gee, I wish I could be in front of a whole crowd of Teamsters and do scab-firing jokes".

Sue's avatar

It's a dog-whistle in that Detroit is a predominantly Black city and he's telling his white nationalist followers vote for him or everywhere will be Detroit. He wouldn't say the same thing in Provo Utah.

Ambiance Chaser's avatar

in Provo he would make polygamy insults.

boo radley's avatar

Based on observation he would make polygamy WISHES.

Sue's avatar

It's weird how you're trying so hard to make it not racist. People vote for trump because of economic anxiety, right?

DJ Teetop's avatar

Persons attempting to find a motive in Trump's narrative will be prosecuted; persons attempting to find a moral in it will be banished; persons attempting to sanewash it will be shot. BY ORDER OF THE DJ.

But he’s more likely to sound familiar because his wife, Terry Rakolta, tried to get “Married With Children” taken off the air back in the ‘80s. That also never happened.

The Harris campaign should be up with adds about this, telling those young white male voters that they would not be able to ogle a young Christina Applegate if they vote Republican.

Fight fire with fire!

Listen, Donald, buddy, listen; there’s an art to making fun of the city you’re in. Take this example from the latest Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game(Splintered Fates), when the brothers arrive in New City to see them run amok with robots, ninjas and other anthropomorphic animals.

Michaelangelo: “Look! The streets are filled with mutants and weirdos!”

Raphael:”Meh; another typical day in New York, then.”

See? That’s both funny AND true! That’s how you do it.

I bet his spongebrain got confused with Billy Joel's "Honesty":

"Grocery"-- such a simple word

Everything you eat, it's true-ue-ue

Grocery-- the stomach's always heard

And mostly how I feed from you
