While Tapper shills his expose about Biden’s decline, Trump’s is obvious and free to view daily.

    Who would have expected such a tirade from a well-known demented rapist?

    “The programming was out of control with rampant political propaganda, DEI, and inappropriate shows,” Trump said. “They had dance parties for quote ‘queer and trans youth.’ And I guess that’s all right for certain people.… But that wasn’t working out too well.”

    The full quote for context:

    “And then they rigged the election, and then I said, ‘You know what I’ll do? I’ll run again and I’ll shove it up their ass,’” Trump told the audience.

    “If they would’ve left us alone, and wouldn’t have cheated on the election, and wouldn’t have rigged it, I would’ve been retired right now. I would’ve been happily doing something else, and instead they have me for four more years, can you believe that?” Trump continued.

    Hey guys, he was forced to be president again.

    “If they would’ve left us alone, and wouldn’t have cheated on the election, and wouldn’t have rigged it, I would’ve been retired right now. I would’ve been happily doing something else, and instead they have me for four more years, can you believe that?” Trump continued.

    Two things:

    1. He’s right. If we would have known he’d be reelected, it would have been better in retrospect to just get it over with.

      • He would have taken the heat from post-covid inflation.
      • We would’ve been spared all the 2020 rigged election nonsense that undermined confidence in elections for half the country.
      • We would’ve avoided Jan 6 and most importantly the lack of any material consequences for the perpetrators (Trump and several Congressional Republicans).
      • They wouldn’t have had four years to plan the destruction of America.

    2. His last remark, I think he really does mean it. He ran in 2024 out of pure spite. He’s never actually liked the job. I think he knows any attempt to prolong his presidency beyond Jan 2029 won’t work, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s actually looking forward to being done on his terms.

    Edit: It’s good to see nuance is alive and well on the Internet, lol

      Why do you think prolonging 2029+ won’t work?

      And even if it doesn’t work, the entire government has been gutted and we still have the entire GOP and right of center Dems to deal with.

        I guess we’ll find out. And sure, Trump will definitely continue to have sway over the GOP in or out of office until he dies. The comment wasn’t “what if Trump never existed”
