“Shouldn’t the Republican Party be reimbursed for fraud in that everybody around Joe, including his doctors and the Fake News Media, knew he was not capable of running for, or being, President?” Trump wrote. “Just askin’?”

Maybe this wouldn’t have happened if you had actual talking points on politics, which is what you should do when you are running for president.

Your whole strategy is slander and lying. Now you are the presidential candidate equivalent of that one guy who cries about politics in memes on a political meme board! You are admitting of literally doing this!

Fucking christ, this guy lecturing us on fraud. I swear, republicans are utterly without worth.

To be fair, he's like 34 times better at it than most people. Even the courts say so.

I like criminals who don't get caught.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

well i don't like them, but they are definitely better criminals than those who did.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

Jussssst in case, that was a play on Trump's "I like soldiers who didn't get caught." Attempting to shit on McCain and of course in the process shit all over all POWs...

But what do they care? Sean Hamface tells them to vote R because communism and they do...

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

That is just the official count. I bet that actual number is much higher!

[–] TheLowestStone 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

If he is so good at it, why did he get caught?

[–] solidgrue 1 points 1 month ago

How else could he prove it??

Ya gotta think like a 4D chess master

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's one of the things he does that absolutely infuriates me. Everyone else is a crook, a fraud, anti-american, but ol dipshit Donnie is supposed to be the beacon of truth and compassion?

Give me a fucking break...

Even worse is when the gaslighting bothsiderist "liberal media" often acts like his outbursts are worthy of consideration, and/or....but look at what this Democrat said that one time...

[–] CouncilOfFriends 1 points 1 month ago

Believe me, nobody knows more about fraud than Trump! Many people are saying it.

“I object to the candidate we slandered every day and said was unfit from withdrawing from the race.”

“On what grounds?”

“It’s detrimental to my campaign.”

[–] Plopp 12 points 1 month ago

Ah, the Liar Liar tactic.

[–] meeeeetch 15 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The Dems hadn't actually nominated anyone for this election yet, that happens during the convention which is still a few weeks from now.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

and that is the problem, because he doesn't know who to attack, so he does this.

[–] CharlesDarwin 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The big swings this guy takes are unbelievable. It's like he says he should be allowed to have a third term because the first didn't count because everyone didn't love him enough.

[–] Mirshe 2 points 1 month ago

He actually tried this in 2020. Said that since the Dems and everyone "blocked" him so much, his first term shouldn't count.
