I already said: I don't know. There's no context so how the fuck could I even attempt to have an informed conversation about it? All I know from that dumb clip is: Trump is relaying something said to him that sounds crazy, and he laughs after saying it before it abruptly cuts off.
Maybe provide something that isn't bullshit next time if you want actual discussion?
Under what context is him saying he beats a Washington/Lincoln ticket by 40 points reasonable.
From the tiny out of context clip provided he doesn't actually say that though. He says someone told him that, he's not claiming it himself. The entire clip is just him allegedly verbally quoting John McLauchlin. That doesn't prove Trump's crazy, it calls into doubt John McLauchlin's sanity, or McLauchlin was talking about a very specific and unusual hypothetical, or even some stupid statistical anomaly.
Sure the next 30 seconds might insinuate that Trump also believes it, but you can't exactly blame people for being wary of shady edits these days.
This is the same damn shit he has been spouting for 40 fucking years! He has told this story since his first campaign! It's something that makes people laugh and reinforces their group bias they aren't aware of feeling. It makes them feel comforted and a little less afraid. They came to him for this!
The people Trumps trusts to advise him and execute orders are a significant problem. The stuff he says completely unfiltered is why people vote for him.
The dumb shit he says is why he alienates more suburban/exurban voters than any other Republican in modern history.
This is also a major problem. It is not just his hires.
I personally despise the average suburban/exurban voter but we still need to win the votes of some of these clowns in order to keep certain previously Republican states red like Texas, Arizona and Georgia.
Trump has the worst performance of any Republican in the last 50 years in the DFW suburbs, Phoenix suburbs/exurbs and Atlanta suburbs/exurbs.
Compare Trump margins in previously red suburban/exurban counties like Tarrant County in Texas, Maricopa County in Arizona and Gwinnett County/Henry County/Cobb County in Georgia to the margins of any other Republican.
Trump makes it really hard to win suburban/exurban votes who are needed in traditionally Republican states.
We cannot win a national presidential election with just rural voters. Trump does well with rural voters but we still need a certain percentage of suburb/exurb voters.
Certain Trump fans on here cannot grasp reality. They somehow think he is universally loved in America when that is very far from true.
You've mistaken me for a Trump fan boy. He is extremely disappointing. He also wins bigly and the regime is scared of him. Trump is the guy whether you or I like it or not. He has shifted the dialectic. His simple existence in the White House focuses the spreadsheet-Americans on him instead of ruining the world.
DeSantis is being pushed by Con Inc and other snakes, which should tell you everything you need to know. He goes where he sees power, just as Cruz does.
Stop getting emotionally wrapped up in electoral politics. If voting could truly change things, they wouldn't let us do it. Ride the Tiger.
It's obvious you're not going to get it unless someone spells it out clearly:
No one listens to most of the shit this man says. 98% of it is pure bullshit and bravado meant to make people laugh and disarm them against his negative features. Most of it is filler, pure filler, nothing of context or meaning outside of entertainment for the masses value. It is his promises and his curses, the shit that's easy to soundbite for his fans that gets people drawn in they actually listen for. No one believes in Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny, just like no one believes Lincoln and Washington would come back to run on a ticket. It's a story to get people to pay attention, to relax and listen to his actual message.
Politicians will joke, they'll tell a story, then they get back to the message. It's all very scripted, all very easy to tell apart, so very ritualistically done that people don't listen anymore. They don't want to listen, they know it's all lies.
Trump needs no emcee, no hypeman, he is his own unique flavor. If the Biden appointment hadn't happened, there would be no Trump Bump in this midterm. People would be done with his schtick and turnout would be low. They want vengeance at this point and if they don't get a red wave, there might very well be a blood bath. DeSantis and Youngkin will not ride this tide if it continues, they aren't mainstream enough. Yet.
Hammering Biden is counter-productive and helps the regime's kabuki theater. Pedo Peter is not responsible for a single policy. The problem is the ruling class.
He instead focuses on rallies where he still focuses on 2020 being stolen while not focusing on what he needs to do to prevent that from happening again.
That sounds like a joke to me, but of course there's no context around what he said so I don't know.
But I'm going to assume the framing is bullshit TDS as usual.
Even if this was a joke, how does this help him with anything?

There is no scenario in which this statement is beneficial to Trump.
Under what context is him saying he beats a Washington/Lincoln ticket by 40 points reasonable.
It is an insane statement if he really meant it and a terrible unhelpful joke if he was just joking.

Do you check under your bed for Orangeman before you go to sleep?
I voted for Trump twice.
I am just getting sick of some stubborn people on the right constantly saying that this guy is the only option for 2024.
Trump is his own worst enemy when he makes useless statements like this.
This is the same damn shit he has been spouting for 40 fucking years! He has told this story since his first campaign! It's something that makes people laugh and reinforces their group bias they aren't aware of feeling. It makes them feel comforted and a little less afraid. They came to him for this!
What a load of nonsense.
How did this statement help him at all?
It makes him look completely out of touch with reality.
Trump's biggest problem is his lack of self control and his poor hires.
If only he could stop saying unnecessary shit and hiring the worst people, then he could avoid reinforcing the many media lies about him.
I voted for Trump twice and I will begrudgingly vote for him again vs the Democrat if the base fucks up and nominates him again in 2024.
No way in hell am I voting Trump in the primary.
It is clear that we can nominate a better candidate than this 78 year old man with no verbal self control in 2024.
Give me DeSantis or even fucking Youngkin at this point.
You have not been paying attention.
Bruh I have seen videos of plenty of his rallies.
Saying he beats Washington/Lincoln by 40 points is not a statement he always makes.
He has made it before, I said.
The people Trumps trusts to advise him and execute orders are a significant problem. The stuff he says completely unfiltered is why people vote for him.
The dumb shit he says is why he alienates more suburban/exurban voters than any other Republican in modern history.

He couldn't beat the fraud as an incumbent President.
The man hasn't won bigly in years.
You are delusional if you still think Trump is the best choice.
>How does telling jokes help a politician come across as relatable?
Dude, you're unhinged
You are really grasping at straws.
WHOA, ORANGE MAN BAD? What a fresh take

Well, if they ran as republicans, they'd be painted as devil-incarnates by the msm and the dems, so there's that.
Instead of focusing on hammering Biden on his numerous policy failures, Trump decides to say that he could beat even a Washington/Lincoln ticket.
We can do so much better than this in 2024.
Hammering Biden is counter-productive and helps the regime's kabuki theater. Pedo Peter is not responsible for a single policy. The problem is the ruling class.
He also doesn't hammer the ruling class.
He instead focuses on rallies where he still focuses on 2020 being stolen while not focusing on what he needs to do to prevent that from happening again.
The man has been a complete wreck post 2020.
Trump is at his best when he can communicate directly with his people. He can't tweet and he can't get TV interviews. Let him do his thing.
Let him do his thing?
Yell about 2020 being stolen and say unnecessary shit while not taking the necessary action to prevent it from happening again?
Yeah let him do his thing.
Fuck Trump 2024. Gimme someone else instead.
