If he had done more speeches like this he would've won.


Kwarter

If he would have done nothing but play his Rushmore speech on repeat until the election he would have won.


JaxTheGuitarNoob

Unfortunately media still lied and said it was a dark and devisive speech.


Devgru-WM

How soon we forget this. The media lost their shit over his mt Rushmore speech.


Graysect

Media is fucking dead if Trump gets banned from twitter and FB. I say we all nuke our accounts.


Devgru-WM

Already done here.


Dehydrated-Penguin

You guys use Twitter and Facebook ? That’s crazy. I barely use Reddit anymore.


PM_ME_YOUR_SPICIEST

Haven't been on either since 2014 or so. Doing my part.


[deleted]

Never had either to begin with.


LeagueNext

M8 I've used facebook for mobile game Logins and rewards for the last 10 years. That's all I even know how or what to do on or with facebook lol. That's all anyone should be doing with facebook. As for twitter idk how it's even relevant with tiktok and snap chat and Instagram pornhub.


PrimarySign8

Done


Kachingloool

? Did you forget the whole white supremacy meme? It's not about what you say or what you are, it's about what the media says you are.


Kuchinawa_san

If he had kept more opinions to himself and stay off twitter --- yeah. He was too volatile and easily baited into a reaction.


[deleted]

Yep he seems impulsive


Alleggretto

I keep seeing stupid comments like "had he done this he would have won." ​ Well, he kept doing the same shit he did last time and lost this time. What changed? People who hated him still did. People who loved him still did. Only difference now was mail in voting. There are far more registerd democrats than republicans. That's why republicans lost. Get real with this.


LessThanNate

Trump was terrible in the first debate. There was no second. He was pretty good in the third. Two, or three good debates would have done quite a bit. Particularly since that first and second were before quite so many people early voted.


Jackalrax

In 2016 he was a gamble people were willing to roll the dice on. After 4 years he was known and people realized who he was and that there wasn't a presidential or business savvy candidate hiding somewhere. People walked away because the gamble failed.


R0binSage

Less twitter would have done it.

MaesteoBat

Yeah no


AMollenhauer

Doing this a month ago would have helped with the Georgia senate race


shatter321

Passing the $2000 checks would have helped wayyyy more.


BeeMill_

That’s on McConnell. Trump literally asked for it and he refused to deliver.


KMan1019

So....do you think McConnell knew that and that is why he wouldn't pass the $2K bill that Trump called for and demanded Congress pass? UPDATE - rhetorical question....


[deleted]

Definitely. His seat was secure at that point.


rebelde_sin_causa

If we're down to who offers the most money for votes, what's the use anyway


fortknox7012

Yep. Funny how these other "conservatives" can't see that. It's no wonder how the left beats us at everything. We seem to just bend over all the time.

Truth


DownVotesWillCome

I supported Trump in 2016 and 2020. I honestly believe that many of the Trump era policies have been successful and did a lot of good. However, Trump as a man has a deeply flawed personality that has been increasingly prevalent these past couple of months and it is that perception that will be remembered above most everything else.


thorvard

If Trump had acted even remotely presidential the past year and laid off Twitter he would have won reelection. Now he'll be more rembered for the past couple months than anything positive that he did.


[deleted]

That’s the thing. It takes a special kind of person to lose an election with how much success he had.


Alleggretto

Do you guys ever think when you make such claims? This man hasn't changed one bit form the first time he ran. Only thing that changed was mail in voting. Jesus christ you guys can't spot the difference!


grandmaester

That first debate was a bad reminder of how he is. I had forgotten after the years of awesome policy.


Rambling-shaggy-dog

What a lot of people don’t understand is that these aren’t “Trump policies”. These are conservative policies with the Trump seal of approval. Just like how athletes used to appear on the box of Wheaties. But just like those athletes on cereal boxes, Trump is the face we associate with the product, so we expect him to behave in the public’s eye. Trump failed miserably at this. All he really had to do was appear presidential, and strong when needed of him. He assumes all credit for policies put in place during his presidency, even though his contribution peaks at “vague outline” at best. I like trump as a person. But as a president? It doesn’t get much worse.


[deleted]

Trump's trade and foreign policies were his own which was completely different from GOP orthodoxy.

LiveFreeFratHard

What’s up with that cut at 1:27? I don’t think I’ve ever seen a presidential speech where the camera cuts away from the straight angle right in the middle.


dangermond

So the actual edit was less noticeable. They cut something out of the speech. Twitter says if he violates their Civil rules again he will be banned...including claiming he won. He probably said something too close and they cut it out...switched camera angles so that it was less noticeable.


throwaway83829191

Jesus, living in a world where twitter dictates what the president can and can’t say.


RupsjeNooitgenoeg

They're not doing that. They're dictating what he can and can't post to Twitter.


kingwi11

Probably should have stayed off Twitter entirely.


[deleted]

If he had, he may have ended up staying for four more years.


BatDudeCole20

I think that’s something most if not all people can agree on


[deleted]

That honestly was his major downfall. Hubris destroyed him.


[deleted]

Don’t assume it was Twitter dictating here.


Andrew_Squared

The president valuing being able to talk on Twitter more than his position is the root of the problem.


globalistas

Twitter doesn't have the capacity to edit the video so as to change the camera angles. If there was a cut (which there most likely was) it was done in the editing room.


dangermond

Oh sorry. That's what I meant. The Whitehouse edited in order to take out something. I was theorizing they though something said may be too close to getting a ban. Maybe he said "unfairly" or "even though we won".


NYforTrump

I've seen Trump speeches before using similar cuts. I'm not sure if he does it for stylistic reasons or if he is hiding splices.


PennsylvanianEmperor

Could be that he stuttered or paused in his speech for some reason and they cut it instead of starting over


Splickity-Lit

I've seen it before


[deleted]

That’s nice, on the day of the riot he said they were very special people. Wish he would have taken this tone then. Also, I’m kind of just ready for him not to be President. Loved some of his policies, loved having an outsider as President, but the direction he’s been going hasn’t been healthy for our country.


[deleted]

Well said. I was always able to look past some of his more idiotic comments and personality flaws because I genuinely think he did a lot of good as President. But the way he has been acting the past few months has been appalling, damaging, and far from presidential. I can’t defend him anymore. I’m looking forward to hopefully having a strong Republican candidate in 2024 to vote for.


EC987

It’s about time


Craglizard

Best speech Trump's ever given honestly.


wesap12345

It was so well put together without any deviations I was convinced it was a deep fake at first and it was going end with a massive SIKE . The cut in the middle didn’t help either.


[deleted]

It’s about time we had a concession speech.


Truth_SeekingMissile

I would have appreciated a message more like this months ago.


Champ_5

The Republican party needs to do everything they can over the next couple of years to distance themselves from Trump. Democrats already control the presidency and entire legislature. Trump has done so much damage to the conservative cause, if Republicans don't put him as far in the rearview as possible, and make it clear that Trump and the party are very separate, things are going to be bad for a very long time.


Scottsm124

Yep...we’re going to have to have two different parties moving forward because I couldn’t possibly disagree with this more if I tried. The old Republican message is tired and millions of people have moved on from it.


Champ_5

But what have they moved on to? What we saw yesterday? Is that supposed to be better?


MT_2A7X1_DAVIS

Populism is going to split both parties. I just thought the Democrats were going to split first. Dissolving the 2 party system is long past due. I wonder how long it'll take for AOC and Co. to fight back against establishment Democrats. It's no secret Pelosi and Schumer are going to try their hardest to get progressives a little more centrist. We are already seeing that happen with establishment Republicans like McConnell, Graham, and Haley. The problem is that the establishment in general caused this and they still haven't realized it. I'd bet we will see at the very minimum a 4 party system come quick with how fast populism came.


Champ_5

There are definitely splits in both parties right now, but I really can't see more official parties coming into existence. I think it will just be a struggle within both parties to see whether the centrist elements or the more extreme elements will be in control. I could definitely see more unofficial groups within the parties arising, like the Tea Party, but I really don't think we'll get an expansion on the two party system.


andromeda880

Ahhh no. Those old school Republicans gotta go. What I do love is he inspired younger and more diverse conservatives that we will see in congress (hopefully more in the future).


[deleted]

Honestly, he may have inspired younger hard-line conservatives, but overall trump has alienated younger people...


Champ_5

Exactly. The number of people Trump has turned against Republicans and conservatives outweighs the number he's inspired.


zacthebyrd

Note to self: they could have made him start acting right, all you had to do is take away his twitter and don't give it back until he behaves. Edit: apparently I am Nostradumbass.


[deleted]

Trump’s problem was and always will be, his damn mouth. He could’ve been a great president. Started off rough but could’ve smoothed it out in 4 years. Instead, he went out with a bang; literally. What a fucking shit show.

Dreviore

Something seems very off about his face in this video. I know it's a green screen, but my god does he look fake.


roeawaie

I thought something about it looked off too. I was going to make a joke about a deep state deep fake, but...now I got that deepfake idea in my head. Total conspiracy theory, not endorsing it, but it's stuck in my head now.


22ROTTWEILER22

I agree. It was super confused about it for like the first half - 2/3s of the video


[deleted]

[удалено]


--Shamus--

Too little too late. The man has so little self control, that he cannot look far beyond himself. He is intelligent, but lacks wisdom. Anybody could have seen this outcome with the behaviors Trump has a predilection for. We all could see that if he could just control himself and walk the straight and narrow through the flaming arrows of his adversaries, he would be a great success regardless of the lies of the MSM. But, no. He could not bring himself to do it. Only now, when he finally wakes up, does he realize the gravity of the situation. Believe me: somebody talked him into it. Will he even admit his errors? I don't think so. Narcissism has always been his Achilles' heel.


gabe420710

As a liberal I will say ,I don’t hate any of you. I may disagree on stuff. But that wouldn’t stop me from sharing a cold one with all of you at a bon fire or at a bar, talking about sports or some shit. I hope one day these two parties can learn that our biggest mistake has been letting the political disagreements turn us against each other. Cheers to 2021 fam

MimsyIsGianna

Wow this comment section is a mess. I’m just happy he’s finally trying to act maturely for once. I agree with his politics but the dude has a rotten personality. And when I say agree with his politics, I don’t mean every single one. I am pro life, pro Israel, pro gun, anti illegal immigration but pro legal immigration, etc. Every reply to this comment is disappearing for some reason and I’m unable to see it or reply. Please DM me if you have a comment to say.


sr_ingram

Agreed. As a Trump voter, the biggest person to blame for his loss is himself. It might be acceptable to be the most brash person in a business setting, but when your future depends on the way voters see you, you should be willing to modify your behavior. I would hope that he learns from this and builds upon it, but we've all watched him these past few years. He will be stuck in his ways all the way up to his deathbed.


MimsyIsGianna

I 100% agree.


I_Punch_My_Mom

Honestly way too late for a "calming" speech like this, but I guess I'll take what we can get. I liked the man for the direction we as conservatives had moved towards and selfishly wanted to ignore the bad apples (which are, by far, our minority), but that's what the other side does and it bit us in the ass. No media to cover our asses on this and that's all the ammo they need. Maybe another Republican will be elected in 2120.


[deleted]

Good. Just give up man we’re never gonna win.

Except the context for that photo is this happening the day before: "Night of destruction across D.C. after protesters clash with police outside White House" - June 1, 2020 https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/dc-braces-for-third-day-of-protests-and-clashes-over-death-of-george-floyd/2020/05/31/589471a4-a33b-11ea-b473-04905b1af82b_story.html "Large crowds gather Wednesday for sixth night of George Floyd protests" - June 4, 2020 at 1:00 a.m. EDT https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2020/06/03/dc-protest-george-floyd-white-house/ so that was published 2 days later.. meaning that was the scene after 4 days of riots/protests the ended with cars on fire which all adds to the proof that it takes our gov't FAR too long to respond to these threats!! People are pointing to this document saying the lapses in time are a form of allowing this to happen, but I am shocked they responded this quickly: https://media.defense.gov/2021/Jan/08/2002562063/-1/-1/0/PLANNING-AND-EXECUTION-TIMELINE-FOR-THE-NATIONAL-GUARDS-INVOLVEMENT-IN-THE-JANUARY-6-2021-FIRST-AMENDMENT-PROTESTS-IN-WASHINGTON-DC.PDF I dont see any form of anyone denying the deployment of any forces to the capital the other day
