His campaign managers are concerned he would say that publicly? Why?! Why do we still act like his cultists would be bothered? Why do we act like they have a fraction of humility and demeanour left in their bodies? They would love to hear that. Where the fuck have you been the last 8 years? Did you pay any attention?
The issue they have is, Trump can't win with just his base. He needs to appeal to at least some percentage of voters outside of that group. It seems like he's been doing everything he can to push anyone who isn't already all in on him away since Biden stepped down.
They aren't worried about alienating his base. They don't want to galvanize hers.
They don't care if he says it. They just care if he gets caught saying it. Big distinction. They know their candidate is a racist shit bag.
"That is not language President Trump has used to describe Kamala, and it's not how the campaign would characterize her."
The most interesting thing about this statement is they have set Trump up to fail. Because you know he's going to say that into a microphone at some point during this campaign.
"It's ok. He says negative things about a lot of people."
This is the excuse I got when I pointed out video of TFG mocking the disabled reporter to a die-hard Trumper. Also, she has a kid with Downs. Still didn't break the Trump spell over her. She used to be normal.
The GOP openly accuses the left of being literal demons who sacrifice babies to Satan. J.D. Vance wrote the foreword for a book called Unhuman that, again, accuses democrats of literally being demons. We’re past the point of decorum.
But, you know, the couch fucker thing is over the line.
I'd be more comfortable using that line of attack if it were actually true.
He didn't write the foreword, but he did write a blurb commending it.
You’re right but fuck him anyway
Well sure. He wouldn't have called her the N-word yet. She just became black.
Everybody knows you have to be black for a minimum amount of time before being called the N-word.
Doctor delivering a black baby: "Well ain't you just the cutest little fella!"
A timer goes off in the background.
"Get a job, n-!"
So, should Kamala play into this by walking out to the podium at her next rally to Meredith Brooks's "Bitch" to troll Trump?
I would also accept Elton John's The Bitch is Back
That might be too badass.
FUCK YES SHE SHOULD.
"I'm a bitch, I'm a lover, I'm a child, I'm a mother" might play better than just acceptance of the term.
I’ll bet $100 he calls her something worse in the next 5 months.
I wouldn't take that bet even if you changed it to 5 days.
They’d have to be some really long odds for me. 20:1 maybe.
That’s funny, cause he’s the whiniest bitch who’s ever run for office.
“Bitchy Kamala, that’s b-I-t-c-h-y Kamala thinks I’m weird. “
Seriously what’s with the spelling of the nicknames lol that seems new for him but now he does it all the time
It's not about the spelling... Trump has trouble reading so he always sounds things out that he doesn't quite understand or when he's unsure of himself. It's a pretty standard coping strategy for people who are still learning to read.
He does this constantly: Whenever he slows down (weirdly) during one of his endless rants it's usually before a word he has difficulty with. Examples of words he regularly has trouble with: China nuclear, Venezuela, felony
In the past he's said, "United Stage", "respectered", and often starts making noise sounds like, "ding!", "boom!", and "bam!" to distract from his mistakes... Like some elementary school kid in class that's been forced to read out loud.
My personal estimate is that he has somewhere around a 4th or 5th grade reading level. After reading this, if you hear one of his speeches it will suddenly become so obvious that he has trouble reading that you'll wonder how you never noticed before.
Everything that's ever appeared on his teleprompter is the simplest words possible except in cases where avoiding complicated words is impossible. I'm certain he practices these special words with his handlers regularly and tries to repeat their emphasis of certain parts of words which is why he says some words strangely (e.g. whenever he says "China").
It's for his base to know how to spell it when they regurgitate it thoughtlessly on all their smedia accounts.
I thought it was because he’s afraid he sounds like he's saying "lion" instead of "lying", and he doesn't want to risk sounding complimentary.
Seriously what’s with the spelling of the nicknames lol
He loves the poorly educated so much that he has to go to extra effort to make sure they can understand his extra bigly smart joke.
Since this was said “in private”, it doesn’t seem like a very big deal (especially compared to things he’s said in public).
I would imagine that every candidate in history has insulted their opponent in private.
Probably yes, and I don't necessarily blame them, everyone has to blow off steam
But the choice of language is worth considering
Maybe I'm more politically correct than I like to give myself credit for, but I curse like a sailor, and I still don't tend to call anyone a bitch, male or female. I'll call them a asshole, moron, idiot, motherfucker, piece of shit, lazy, a fascist loofah-faced shit-gibbon, worthless low-down good-for-nothing greedy bastard, waste of space/oxygen/carbon, dirtbag, sleazeball, whiney, shit-head, coward, dumbass, creep, weirdo, pervert, dumb, two-faced, spineless, and countless other insults, they're all on the table, and I'll wish all kinds of unpleasantness on them up to and including death.
But bitch (and also cunt) is kind of an inherently gendered insult. I don't consider being a woman to be a bad thing, so I don't use those words, even behind closed doors. Same way I don't use slurs against LGBTQ people, different races and ethnicities, people with disabilities, etc. those don't ring true to me as insults so I don't use them as insults.
And I think the fact he does use that kind of insult shows a lot about how he thinks.
True. When it comes to Trump, though, my expectations are already incredibly low. He called members of the KKK “very fine people” while he was serving as President. The bar is on the floor when it comes to this guy.
Kinda maybe.
Bitch & bastard are gendered insults, but does using them make one sexist? It's subjective and dependent on the intent of the user.
We already know that Trump is misogynistic, as well as a litany of other traits and circumstances that make him completely inappropriate to be POTUS.
We should focus on those factual issues rather than engage in supposition about Trumps intent regarding something he may have said in private.
At his Mar-a-Lago news conference on Thursday, he asserted Harris is "not smart enough to do a news conference."
What a nasty thing to say…
I dare him to say it to her face.
That is the only name he knows for women.
Oh, I'm sure he has plenty of other disgusting, misogynistic terms.
I am not even that shocked by him now.
Just sounds like narcissistic rage to me, Harris should respond by telling Americans that they deserve a leader with better judgment and impulse control
lol. Of course.
They are so weak.
That’s the best he could do
