    People are saying that donald has aphasia, he can’t pronounce certain words, due to either old age or disease (syphilis). It’s sad that the republicans have no one else to run for president. I’m hearing that he should step down as a candidate and get the help he needs.

      At every opportunity to pivot and try to garner more of the undecided swing voters, he balks and throws red meat to the base.

      That’s a bold strategy, Cotton. Let’s see if it pays off for 'em

        Yeah completely dumping the narrative that getting shot changed him and now he’s a super nice guy now was about the dumbest thing someone could do. That narrative gave people permission to think “sure Jan 6 happened last time, but he’s different now and that won’t happen again”.

        That could’ve gotten some undecided votes. But as soon as he’s front of a crowd he’s gotta go back to being the asshole that the base (who were going to vote for him no matter what) came to see.

    To be fair, it probably doesn’t matter whether he can say “Kamala” since he’ll mainly be saying “President Harris” in the future.

    I hate this man, and that’s not a word I take lightly or use regularly, but damn if I’m not happy he at least didn’t say “I could care less”

      I haven’t watched the clip, and won’t, but I wouldn’t be so sure the transcript is accurate. During the “Christians won’t have to vote” thing there is debate that he either said he is Christian or he isn’t. His speech is so poor journalists have to fill in a lot of words and often (inaccurately) correct what he said to be proper English.

      Oh good, I was worried that the left was going to make a unified effort to defeat Fascism. Happy to see we’re devolving right back to petulant baby talk like always.

      Also, as someone with a lot of German family, I was never a big fan of this specific insult, because it relies on associating German surnames of any kind with Nazism, which I get it, we did a lot of awful shit, but can we just please have German names without you forcing that connection?

        “Waaa my dear leader used the wrong name and refused to ever pronounce it correctly but others are now using the wrong name waaaaa”

        Who brought up any german name and related to nazism?

        You are the first to mention it in this chain. I did not imply a single thing about nazism. I just used his german surname. If thats “nazism” to you, perhaps look at yourself instead

        edit

        heres an extra source for you. Drumpf to Trump was changed by his ancestors well before the nazis and wasnt even in germany. So, where are you pulling the nazi connections from? 🤔

    I’m so impressed he knows it’s couldn’t care less, rather than could care less.

    My level of respect for him has not increased though

    It’s literally consonent-vowel-consonent-vowel-consonent-vowel.

    Sure some names are hard to pronounce right. But this isn’t one of them.

    They only make themselves sound like idiots when they deliberately mispronounce her name.

    I think it’s that old Napoleon saying about “when your enemy is making a mistake, don’t interrupt him.”
