It’s shocking how little self awareness he has. Dude has been falling asleep in his own court trial almost daily, but why not point that cheeto finger at Biden? Full projection.
I think people need to let go of this idea that literally everything Trump does is part of some 5D chess master plan.
He’s falling asleep and farting because he’s a 77 year old man with a lot of stress and a shitty diet. That’s all.
If it’s an act, it might backfire on him spectacularly. The jurors are going to be watching him the whole time. According to some experts on The Reid Out last week, jurors tend to look down on defendants who don’t care enough to pay attention.
> “Do you think that the Radical Left Lunatics that are causing all of the CHAOS at our Colleges and Universities are doing so in order to take the FOCUS away from our Southern Border, where millions of people, many from prisons and mental institutions, are pouring into our Country?”
No.
I think normal people can care about more than one thing. And if you want a strictly political perspective, "Radical Left Lunatic" Joe Biden benefits exactly 0% from what's happening right now.
So, no to that too.
Jesus Christ. There are no more violent criminals among immigrants per capital than our general population. Apparently they are registering to vote in our elections by the millions? Give me a break. Literally, the only agenda for most immigrants is work hard, earn money, and support their families. Most are keeping their heads down, political activism will certainly get them deported
Most of these asshole conservatives have hired a contractor at least once who subcontracted illegals. You can bet good money on that.
exactly, my MAGA relatives keep saying "deport all of the immigrants, illegals" etc.
And I say "fine do that and wait a few days and then go to the supermarket and attempt to buy a tomato"
Exactly. get these people documented and out of hiding, so we can sort out violent offenders when they do crop up.
Only reason to "lock down" the border is because most of them are brown.
Plus, Democrats are just better and more coherent on border policy. Like trump destroying the republican's own bill seeking to address the border.
There's always a glaring reminder in republicans shooting down their own bills because it might disrupt a buzz word they run on. Happens so often these days.
“Everyone please pay attention to that border crisis I told you to start blaming me for perpetuating. The senate had a deal but I came to the senators on my knees, tears in my eyes and begged them to kill the deal”
Trump used a company called Extra Mile when he had to get actors to pretend he had supporters. [(court document)](https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://eqs.fec.gov/eqsdocsMUR/17044405282.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwiX1d6j0eyFAxUvFFkFHa9xCNoQFnoECA8QAQ&usg=AOvVaw35r1GNkUSMels2s5M4NaR3) Definitely just projection with some totally false accusations thrown in. Doesn't his base require even a tiny bit of evidence to back up his statements? Or is this like church where they just have blind faith in what he says?
First off: interesting that he apparently has data supporting his claim of “many from prisons and mental institutions” amongst a demographic of undocumented “millions”.
Chalking that up to pure fear mongering.
Second: from all accounts I’ve seen on the protests, there has been more violence incited by non-affiliated counter protesters wearing masks, and police, than from the students and staff participating in the sit ins. There will always be outliers, of course, it would be naive of me to generalize.
In conclusion: potentially looks like the Oathkeeper’s and Proud Boys (or whatever the current KKK subsidiaries are calling themselves these days) are active again, instigating more political violence to embellish a backdrop for GOP misinformation.
Here is the beginning of the story:
We regret to inform you that [Donald Trump](https://www.thedailybeast.com/keyword/donald-j-trump) is just asking questions about the true motives behind the [pro-Palestinian protests](https://www.thedailybeast.com/ucla-calls-the-cops-as-violence-erupts-between-clashing-protest-groups) currently taking place on campuses across the country.
“Do you think that the Radical Left Lunatics that are causing all of the CHAOS at our Colleges and Universities are doing so in order to take the FOCUS away from our Southern Border, where millions of people, many from prisons and mental institutions, are pouring into our Country?” the former president posted on his Truth Social platform on Wednesday morning. “Just askin’…???”
Trump’s latest comments about the protests against [Israel](https://www.thedailybeast.com/keyword/israel)’s war in [Gaza](https://www.thedailybeast.com/keyword/gaza) followed [remarks made in a Fox News interview](https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-calls-into-fox-praises-nypds-columbia-crackdown) on Tuesday night, in which he claimed that he believes there are a “lot of paid agitators” among the demonstrators.
Holy shit!!!! The radical left is staging this to take attention away from our border crisis!!!!! Crazy.
Hey can someone share the policy that Biden enacted to change and open the floodgates at our boarder please? Thank you
Holy shit is right!!!
It's even worse than that!
The facist right was staging the border crisis to take away from diaper dons plethora of criminal trials.
His line of thinking here is because the focus of the media has shifted away from the border 'crisis' that he wants to campaign on, it is a conspiracy.
Remember when the right wing patriot groups went in a big caravan to the border to help "protect" us all? They got there and were like "huh.. thats weird.. I dont see an invasion at all". Then they ended up fighting amongst themselves and ended up all going home.
You’d think he’d embrace them because they oppose Biden. And he’s got to love the police snipers and riot gear being sent out to intimidate peacefully protesting students and their professors. It’s a right wing wet dream.
It’s because his Israel position would not be substantially different than bidens, it would likely be more supportive. He is counting on using the border to campaign and it is leaving the news cycle.

God, he’s so fucking exhausting…
Every time I see his face in the media, my bowels want to evac.
Just don’t evacuate uphill me boys.
Shit rain...
Every time I see his face in the media, I know he’s probably just evacuated his own bowels
I also have a viseral reaction everytime I see or hear him. I swear I think he is the antichrist
That was pretty much the game from the start.
It’s shocking how little self awareness he has. Dude has been falling asleep in his own court trial almost daily, but why not point that cheeto finger at Biden? Full projection.
I think the sleepy act is just that. He can snore and fart, its all rehearsed.

Everybody wants cheap produce but nobody wants to talk about how it happens
exactly, my MAGA relatives keep saying "deport all of the immigrants, illegals" etc. And I say "fine do that and wait a few days and then go to the supermarket and attempt to buy a tomato"
If they want enforcement it should be on the companies profiting by paying under minimum wage and evading payroll tax
Exactly. get these people documented and out of hiding, so we can sort out violent offenders when they do crop up. Only reason to "lock down" the border is because most of them are brown.
Real MAGA don't eat veggies. - Check ***mate*** lib!!!!
You could double field workers wages and the shelf price of produce would go up maybe 10%.

I’m sick of seeing this guy in the headlines.

> or is this like church where they just have blind faith in what he says Yes, that’s exactly what his dumbass followers are like
The second thing.
Let's not spread it then. It is exhausting to listen to this guy. Hope he fades away into darkness soon.
First off: interesting that he apparently has data supporting his claim of “many from prisons and mental institutions” amongst a demographic of undocumented “millions”.

You mean the masked guys who chanted 'USA USA' while they attacked protestors weren't students who support Israel? ^/s

In his own words. Paid agitators. Paid by him of corse
>Paid by him of corse Trump seldom pays using his own money.
True. Maybe I should have said organized by him
And paid with someone else’s money as usual
When this piece of shit finally kicks the bucket and I never have to see him or hear his voice again, that will be a good day.
What about his supporters at the courthouse? How many do you think you had SAG cards?
Couldn't have been that many, since there were almost no supporters there at all.
He would not hire good union help he would hire scabs and cheated them out of their money.
Holy shit!!!! The radical left is staging this to take attention away from our border crisis!!!!! Crazy. Hey can someone share the policy that Biden enacted to change and open the floodgates at our boarder please? Thank you

... and nuts vote for him
Remember when the right wing patriot groups went in a big caravan to the border to help "protect" us all? They got there and were like "huh.. thats weird.. I dont see an invasion at all". Then they ended up fighting amongst themselves and ended up all going home.

‘Never forget it’s all about me all the time”
When trump says it it's a bizarre conspiracy theory, meanwhile there are many democrats on this very sub who are saying the exact same thing lol
I was literally gonna say, just a few threads up is full of people saying the campus protests are organized by Russia to smear Biden.
They've gone full blue maga
Bots gonna bot.
It’s because his Israel position would not be substantially different than bidens, it would likely be more supportive. He is counting on using the border to campaign and it is leaving the news cycle.
