Mind numbingly stupid shit.

No you have backtracked and now playing the victim
You said Trump never said 9 barrels when indeed he did
This back and forth ends when you admit he said it or slink away
Authentic is not the right word, given Trump says he is someone different than who he is all the time.
I think a better word is "obvious". Who Trump is, is obvious to all who pay attention.
It's obvious he doesn't care for the way that politics has been conducted previously, though that doesn't mean his politics is good or better.
It's obvious that he's of an authoritarian mindset, given his actions after losing the last election, his rhetoric about going after opponents using force, his disdain for the free press, and admiration of dictatorial strongmen.
It's obvious he favours corporate and special interests over the average citizen, given his big achievements as President were tax cuts for the rich and appointing pro-corporate, religious zealot stooges to the judiciary. Along with sabotaging consumer and environmental protection agencies, the education department, and attempting the repeal of the Affordable Care Act without a replacement, i.e. going after things that actually benefit average Americans.
It's obvious he doesn't actually care about the southern border, because he sees it as a political opportunity to bash Democrats.
It's obvious he doesn't have a dove-ish foreign policy approach, especially when it comes to supporting hardline allies in Israel or Saudi Arabia, but is less committed to supporting those fighting other authoritarians who invaded them e.g. Ukraine.
And so on.
And that would be financial killing to avoid confusion

They tried to. Republicans refused to even hold hearings for 12 months.
But you know that. Just more dodging and avoidance of reality.

Well said.
There is a train of thought in the US atm that he is embedding a contingency for in case he loses the election.
We had the voting machine stuff recently but there is also the 'angry mob' factor he needs on standby. Under a week to go he is testing the limits of provocative language.

He has done himself no service in recent weeks. More and more are coming out about the massive elephant in the Republican room.
Hope they haven’t left it too late.

How come zzz Trumpers always act the victim
I think he’s worded it poorly (as I’ve stated already), but I get what he is trying to say. It’s a hypothetical in that she wouldn’t like being on that front line with guns pointed at her. But she’s happy to send others there whilst she’s in her comfortable office.
Watching the full video basically confirms that.
I HATE him calling others stupid or dumb. Pot/kettle.
Again, context is everything, as has been stated multiple times on this forum.
beez
A*mazing
I'm not sure how he can even remotely imply this.
I mean, Clinton won the popular vote in 2016. Biden whipped Trump in 2020.
And here we are in 2024 where Trump will probably get more votes than in 2016 and 2020.
If anything the movement is getting stronger.
Its where they are

Context is not everything. The veiled message is everything.
Read and learn.
Stochastic terrorism is a form of political violence instigated by hostile public rhetoric directed at a group or an individual. Unlike incitement to terrorism, stochastic terrorism is accomplished with indirect, vague or coded language, which grants the instigator plausible deniability for any associated violence.
Plausible Deniability (Chapter 8) - Language in the Trump Era
Language in the Trump Era - September 2020
Plausible deniability is a common feature of political discourse that allows speakers to avoid taking responsibility for a controversial utterance by invoking possible counter-interpretations. To engage in plausible deniability, Trump invokes seemingly reasonable evidence to contest or refute that he meant what he said, foregrounding only select elements of the meaning-making process while downplaying others. Trump’s use of plausible deniability allows him to rally his base while feigning innocence when confronted about controversial remarks. Although common to politics, Trumpian discourse pushes this language game to the limits of credulity through frequent acts of strategic denying that arouse both supporters and critics. This chapter analyzes the way Trump and his allies engage in plausible deniability through the examination of several high-profile cases, introducing the linguistic concept of “implicature” to shed light on the discursive moves and interpretive processes that underlie attempts to invoke plausible deniability. Key to deconstructing each of these examples is an anthropological understanding of the interactional context in which political remarks are spoken and understood.

Additional context - Trump wanted US military to shoot US protestors.

I think 'fellating the microphone' broke everyone's bingo card.

I have conceded that context is important but not that it is misinformation like some of the things floating around ie voter fraud.
However there isn't any evidence she is a war hawk nor that the/his hypothetical has any merit, that is misinformation, or call it as it is LIES.
Further calling her a coward when he himself is a draft dodger is also hypocritical.
When shot in the ear, he himself called for more restraint in the usage of violent language, yet he is the biggest offender of using such language.
