The former president has set sky-high expectations for his own performance in the first contest of the race for the Republican presidential nomination. He spent the day before the caucuses trying to ensure he meets them. His main GOP rivals all spent Sunday in Iowa as well, making last-minute appeals to Iowans open to hearing them.
At a rally in Indianola, Trump said his supporters could fight back against his political enemies, claiming that the four indictments he faces were driven by politics and renewing his false claims about the 2020 election he lost to Democrat Joe Biden.
Many in the crowd wore white and gold caps identifying them as Trump caucus captains who will help round up support for him Monday night.
Such a sad existence to be devoted to a con man.
Evangelicals
What’s even more sad is that it’s likely he’s going to be our next president.
I hate that you are likely right about it.
We saw in 2016 what can happen if your administration doesn’t do enough to address poverty for the poor and middle class. They’re not going to care that he’s stupid, a fascist, old, or incapable of forming a coherent sentence. They’re going to care that he isn’t Joe Biden.
True that too. It is a knee jerk reaction against who is there on the administration today. Same knee jerk reaction that got a person incapable of forming a coherent sentence elected because he was not black or not a woman.
He took it a step further on Sunday, suggesting casting a vote for him would be worth dying for.
“You can’t sit home,” Trump said. “If you’re sick as a dog, you say ‘Darling, I gotta make it.’ Even if you vote and then pass away, it’s worth it.”
And his followers don’t understand all it means is… I need you to vote for me and I don’t care what happens to you after that.
Which is consistent – just the same as they will force births but then do fuck-all to help the children God forbid they should need any assistance whatsoever. As long as they get what they want, that’s where their care ends.
Why make the world better when you can punish your enemies? PATHETIC
He probably thinks he makes the world a better place by punishing his enemies. These people are very simple-minded.
Donald understands his voting base. If Donald says he’ll let the lefty elites ‘have it,’ that’s ultimately what his voters care about.
He doesn’t care about making the world a better place. Just HIS world.
*Trump’s enemies
AKA fellow Americans. I’m old enough to know that Americans used to say ‘better dead than Red’ and here are, they’d rather be Red than second place.
This run is so much scarier than 2016 or 2020, this language is someone who’s out for blood…
I hope the independents are paying attention…
They are watching very closely from the sidelines.
Democrats opened the door that can not be closed. They raided his placed and are trying to get him in jail for something we all know was not a issurrection, so yea he will go after all those idiots. And the next election Democrats will win and will go after republicans and so on. Going after politicar rivals, that is what democrats started and noone will stop
Lol “we all know it wasn’t an insurrection”. No the fuck we don’t. Any relational person can see that it was.
Trump words “protest peacefully” Democrats “he called for people to be killed and remove everynody from the Gov and he is bad so we wont allow him to be a candidet” lol
You’re clearly insane. Democrats are prosecuting crimes committed by a crime boss and his crime underlings. Trump is talking about going after people simply for being against him. It’s really significantly different but if you actually believe what you just said there’s no point discussing it because you’ll never be able to understand what’s actually happening here.
Yea yea yea, put it however you want to. Just like the bidens have a looooot of stuff they need to respond for, and the clintons, etc… Im not saying I agree with what is happening, Im just letting you kno what has happened and what will happen. The democrats are going after their primary rival and republicans will do the same as soon as they get in to power.
Okay, let’s break this down and tackle one thing at a time. What did the FBI raid trumps property for?
Good question. Haging clasified documents “THE SAME OTHER DEMOCRATS HAVE DONE” Like I said, they opened the door, now every time one is in power it will look at the other and use all the force to get them.
It will be a shit show
Who came for clinton? After not having papers but cpromising a “server”. People dobt understand how bad nad how much information is on a swrver compared to a couple of pages of paper
Can you point to concrete examples of the Democrats doing the same thing with classified paper documents? Let’s try to keep this as much as an apples to apples comparison as we can.
Classified information*
Thise documents were in a private residence, so in theory… Nobody (meaning externals ti that residence) had access to them
Even worst was this:
Servers were online, meaning anybody who knew how had access to them. We can asume its public record now
Like I said that happened and during Trump presidency nobody was accused or the presidency did not try to prohibit the candidet from running. That is not happening now.
Again, let’s keep it to an apples to apples comparison. Do you think there’s a difference between immediately self reporting discovered documents, versus ignoring requests for the return of classified documents to the national archives, receiving a subpoena for the documents, have video evidence of moving the subpoenaed documents AFTER they were told to lock up and preserve the documents, which then justified an FBI search?
Which case do you think is worse?
No, there is no difference.
I wish we could compare the server of Clinton but there is no “apple” to compare that.
All 3 acts consist of similar/same problems (if you are going to keep bringing the “apple” analogy every time there are small diference you can but there will never be exaclty the same so never “apples to apples”) All 3 acts took something clasified and put it in to personal property (trump and biden) or public (clinton).
Trump did no go over the other 2 oponents because of this, Biden did go after trump because of it.
The decuments are not the reason they wont let Trump be president, why are we even talking about it? Did Trump comit an insurrection or not, that is the question to answer. Some states (ran by democrats) think they did, other would disagree. Isurrection agains who? He was the president at the time, he gave power to Biden without violence, so… Did he?
“I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.”
Lock him the fuck up.
Sad, yet, fascinating how insane his cult has become.
Unless this POS dies, he’s going to be reelected.
I wanted you to be so wrong, but yet it pains me: I believe you to be so right about it.
He’s still talking about the Washington swamp. Hadn’t he promised to clean it in his previous mandate? Has he failed or something?
He promised to “drain the swamp”, but didn’t clarify that he was planning todrain it into Washington…
No one expects the government to help them, they know better. All they want is for their enemies to suffer.
I mean if this type of rhetoric doesn’t get the supreme Court to take an originalitst vew of the Constitution, I don’t know what will.
Jesus Christ said the Same thing!
We need an IQ requirement to vote.
I feel like the historical connotations make that difficult.
If there were ever to be some form of this, maybe a humanitarian and empathy focused measurement instead?
Create a list of basic questions and answers which are factually correct and easily available for people to review/memorise in advance. As a part of the voting process the voter is asked 10 out of 100 of those questions, they need to get at least 7 out of ten for the vote to be valid. Multiple choice questions like “Reducing taxes likely means… Reducing spending or increasing debt”.
Great news!!! They newd punishment!!! #MAGA
3rd party 2024 and end the 2 party illusion of choice
The illusion is that a 3rd party has a chance. It didn’t when I voted for Anderson instead of Carter, and then Reagan got in. Never made that mistake again.
2016 was my first presidential election and I voted for Gary Johnson. Unless 3rd parties become a viable option, never again.
Abolish FPTP and the Electoral College.
Biden sux. Voting 3rd party = vote for Trump.
Don’t!
Give me a real candidate instead of an old-ass-white-man and you’ve got the vote. Otherwise it goes 3rd party (same as virtually every zoomer watching Zionism destroy the middle east)
That’s not going to happen this year. Voting 3rd is the same as voting Trump.
You cannot say otherwise.
Give me a real candidate, otherwise best of luck.
Removed by mod
You have the power to prevent the 3rd party disaster by picking somebody other than Biden. Best of luck.
Removed by mod
3rd party has as much chance this election as any other in the past. Consider that when casting you’re vote and pick one of the two parties.
“and if no Person have a Majority, then from the five highest on the List the said House shall in like Manner chuse the President. But in chusing the President, the Votes shall be taken by States, the Representation from each State having one Vote”
Republicans control more state delegations. Republicans win if no person reaches a majority of electoral votes.
You should tell the dems to pick somebody under 100 years old
Their are two younger candidates on the primary ballot. People can vote against Biden in the primary.
If Dems “pick” Biden again in the same way they “didn’t” pick Bernie?
3rd party it is.
If Trump is even an option on my ballot?
3rd party it is.
