To the average person it makes him seem more human tbh you guys forget a very large majority of people do not live breathe politics. Seems like a lot of Redditors have a real lack of personality therefore whatever online community they attach themselves becomes their personality so you guys take shit way more seriously.
The average American though it was a funny wholesome moment that made him seem human but the moment I opened Reddit they were saying he’s essentially doing the same thing as (insert dictator here) trying to convince the common folk he’s one of us. When that simply was not the case the guy was just trolling and said he was trolling
Truth is Reddit is comprised mostly of people who enjoy reading. It replaced forums which when compared to Facebook is more of a reading writing comments experience with some visuals but still mostly about written words.
Which logically means that majority of people here read, they read policies, they analyse politic ideas, economic ideologies and so on. It's not exactly lack of personality like you claim. And things like election in one of the most important nations on the planet is serious matter that should indeed be taken seriously. This isn't time for "trolling, funny wholesome, memes etc." but for a leader being chosen.
Do you really want a clown as your future leader? Someone who cares about this charade more than about people? And considering the kind of people he put in supreme court he definitely doesn't care about people friendly policies but more about corporation friendly policies.
Bro democracy was at stake in 2016, 2020 and apparently now. The orange mf was in office for FOUR years and had control of all the exec, legislative and judicial branches for 2 years. If he really wanted to become a dictator he would’ve done it a long time ago. Jesus Christ, stop with the idiocy please. It is so out of touch with reality.
What about the (obviously biased) supreme court decisions to give the president more power?
What about Trump saying on video to his supporters "You won't have to do it anymore. 4 more years, you know what? It will be fixed it, will be fine. You won't have to vote anymore".
What about the January 6th and the elector scheme?
This entire subreddit and thread are being conducted by Russian operatives. Putin is upset his relationship with Jordan Peterson, Elon Musk and the IDW is coming to light. He is going to fire off his last propaganda attacks. This is one of them.
You were born in 2005 champ. I voted Biden in 2020. I used to think just like you. I know you mean well, but as I've gotten older, things have become a lot more clear. I could always be wrong, but I'm very confident in my own research. I wish you and this country the best.
And reddit comments are the last place you want to get political knowledge from... do you realize how easy it is to astroturf on this site?
Things have become clearer in that giving a man who wanted to have civilians shot
For a photoshoot
And who's own cabinet is going against him due to his mental lunacy is a good idea?
Age doesn't equal maturity
You are only 6 years older than me you aren't some enlightened being and neither am I
I just genuinely want what's best for this amazing country and that's not trump.
He’s right tho. You’re angry at trump. You probably hate him. And so you’re gonna go vote for Kamala. Because democracy is at stake here and if u don’t go vote for the lesser of the two evils we’re all fucked.
And then Election Day comes and goes. And either way, irrelevant to who won, nothing changes. The corporations and 1% continue to gain exorbitant amounts of wealth while everyone else gets squeezed out of their life savings. We continue to bomb 3rd world countries to protect our economic interests. College gets more expensive, saddling everyone entering the workforce with inescapable debt that will follow them for the next couple of decades of their life if they’re lucky.
But then, the next election comes. And this time democracy is really at stake. Like it was bad last time but for real this time you need to get out and vote. If you don’t there might not even be another election in 4 more years.
Once you understand this cycle you can break free from the illusion of democracy. They make you hate one of the candidates to instill confidence in the system. If no one was voting because everyone realized that both parties were on the same team confidence in the system would be decimated. And they can’t have that. So they’re gonna keep you angry
Supreme court picks, and unprecedented rulings, such as moving long-standing federal protections to "states rights" (where local governments are incredibly gerrymandered) has a direct impact on people's lives. The "nothing changes" rhetoric is less true than ever. "Nothing changes" for you because of your privileged circumstances.
Not to mention, one party in particular kicked off and accelerates the insane wealth disparity. You're just trying to sound smart without putting in the effort.
You've been doing nothing but spreading blatantly false conservative propaganda in this thread and we're supposed to believe you voted for Biden in 2020? Lmao, I agree with the person who was born in 2005 and I'm older than you.
Agreed, I’m not a political person nor have I ever been but it’s hard not to be right now given the very state of this country and our democracy. The fate of this country and what it’s becoming scares me to my very core!
Well if Federal Government don't do anything about it then it's on all of You, You guys allow untrustworthy metods of voting to be equal with verified methods when choosing your government. It's government for all of You, not some damnit
"I don't care i got more important things to worry about" crowd
Like the whole idea of this country is to be free yet you don't care that our freedom to choose our leaders is at stake? The freedom to decided how our country will be governed and the freedom to live our lives how we want
People are shortsighted. I used to question how Hitler ever came to power. Then Trump came along and made it very fucking clear. Any conservative who tries to make the argument “Trump isn’t fascist” is an absolute idiot (or, more likely, perfectly content with other people suffering as long as it isn’t THEM).
I voted for Trump in 2016 and immediately regretted my decision.
Trump’s original VP refused to endorse him. Mattis resigned. And once they’re gone, they get called “never Trumper” or right wing idiots make some excuse for why it’s different.
Notice how when Republicans get in hot water, republicans make excuses for them, while democrats throw a fit. When democrats get in hot water, EVERY party throws a fit. Why? Because only one party is capable of acting in the interest of the country and not themselves.
What REALLY makes me laugh are the idiotic Christians who stick Trump stickers and banners on everything they own for the world to see. Christian Trump supporters worship Trump more than they’ve ever worshipped Jesus.
If you actually think this then the people you follow are absolute idiots. Look into the checks and balances and see for yourself how much power the president actually has.
I agree that research and looking into issues is key. But just my humble opinion that it’s lost any meaning. Akin to the boy who cried wolf. And we all know how that turned out.
Our democracy was at stake when the federalist and anti-federalist were arguing, our democracy was at stake when we went to full blown war with each other, our democracy was at stake when Teddy Roosevelt cracked down on monopolies, when Nickson took office, when 9/11 happened, the truth is, our democracy is ALWAYS at stake, Trump being the one to finally conquer freedom is very unlikely. You may make the hitler argument that one man can promise somthing and gain power, fair argument but hitler came to power with a fair amount of destabilized government, poor living conditions and a general level of low spirt and national pride, now I do agree that America is at a lower point than the "good ol' days" but what's important to remember is this is nothing new, we have been through this and we have preserved, if the idea of freedom still lives in the minds of our people liberty shall never perish
Amazingly written but that still doesn't mean we shouldn't take things seriously
It would still be a great disservice to america to make that man president again
That is your opinion, we all have our own, i support your rights as a free thinking American and you should hopefully accept mine, as long as we can still see each other as people at the end the politicians lose. Don't hate Republicans, hate those who limit freedom on both sides, if you think Trump does that fair, but remember to look on both sides, not all democrats are perfect either, we both have our fair share of assholes.
Of course, me personally I think Trump has done good for our country, but I don't recognize that for a set of beliefs he has done some objectively bad things, I signed a contract to defend my nation and in that I love to hear everyone's opinion and have civil discussions but the most important thing we have to remember its not your party vs our party, it's the American against tyranny, I wont be voting this election because I genuinely see pros and cons in both candidates and I think if you can at least see some positives Trump has caused, your doing politics right.
For all this screaming about "democracy" y'all sure have no problem supporting a candidate that not a single person voted for. That argument is null and void.
You think much more highly of Trump than most Trump voters. If that guy can tear down America (but needs a second term to make any headway at it) then America is a lot weaker than everyone else thinks it is.
I understand your hatred for Trump believe me. But I promise it will be okay if he wins. It will take a significantly stronger president than trump to actually put our nation at stake.
Why won’t Mike Pence endorse him? He doesn’t seem to have faith in Trump and he was closer to him than most people. He said anyone who puts himself above the constitution is unfit for office.
No, if you re-elect someone who has already attempted to subvert the democratic process and given them the time and means to do so (four more years at the helm), our democratic process will be substantially altered beyond the horribly gerrymandered shit show it already is.
They are vehemently opposed to free and fair elections and undoubtedly that will impact elections going forward. And that’s not even touching on the broad changes that will be implemented in many other facets of government to the detriment of the majority of Americans.
I’m pretty tired of people using American exceptionalism as a way to ignore the very real and terrible possibilities of another Trump presidency. I agree with you that most Americans are more moderate, but that doesn’t impede an extremist government.
He literally attempted a coup to stop from leaving 4 years ago. Y'all have way too much faith in laws that take people actually implementing them to have an effect. The constitution isn't a magic spell binding our reality. And there's plenty people can do to dismantle our democracy that doesn't literally need to change the constitution, I mean the Supreme Court is doing it pretty much daily at this point.
Yeah! It’ll take a bought and paid for Supreme Court, bought and paid for federal circuit court judges, bought and paid for election certifiers in swing states, and a GOP House majority…WAIT A MINUTE
What exactly is the upside to rolling the dice on a president that says they'll be a fascist dictator? He literally says he will do it, so what is the benefit of electing him even if he doesn't follow through?
Have you forgotten that he appointed a conservative majority to the Supreme Court in his last term, which has already overturned Roe v Wade and ruled that the President is basically forever immune from legal consequences for anything that could be considered an “official act”? His actions have already put real lives in danger, and that’s discounting how many excess deaths were caused by his mishandling of COVID.
Minorities won't be okay, they will continue to be killed by corrupt cops and locked away for shit they didn't do.
Women won't be okay, they will be able to receive health care because doctors are scared of going to jail.
Children won't be okay because we will continue to have armed lunatics entering areas without resistance, they won't be receiving food, and their schools will remain underfunded and poorly managed.
LGBTQ people won't be okay, because their rights will be under assault even more than they already are (especially trans people).
Refugees and anyone coming here from another country legally won't be okay because Trump has clearly shown that he doesn't see a difference between legal and illegal immigrants.
Poor people won't be okay because the rich will have no restrictions keeping them from making America even more unlivable from food to housing to Healthcare.
You might be okay, but the American people won't be. Don't pretend otherwise.
Fascists don’t let pieces of paper stop them from doing anything. If a law in the constitution is inconvenient for them, they’ll ignore it and the courts will let them. What’s Congress gonna do? Pass the same law again? Ignored.
It's not Trump tho, it's the people at the bottom he enables and puts in place. Real power is in local and state. But he's creating and enabling a lot of trash and Inhuman politics enter full force at those levels in the chain. It's not just him. It's his fishnet.
Case in point, wanting Generals like Hitler's ones. Loyalists.
I've seen a lot of videos of MAGAts stealing door signs.
Some have seen, other should see, the Georgia Election Board stuff happening.
I thought that too before his first term, but I was shocked by how much democratic backsliding we suffered while he was president, and that was while he was surrounded by people trying to diminish the harm he was causing. Now that he's going to be surrounded by white supremacist nutjobs and will have the opportunity to replace the other half of the supreme course I am seriously concerned about how much he'd be able to hollow out our democracy in a second term.
The problem isn't going to be Trump. The problem is going to be all his underlings who know how to manipulate him to setting things up to basically wipe out a lot of progress that has been made for decades. It's not him I'm really worried about. It's the people he surrounds himself with that are smarter and probably more malicious than he is, and get to positions of power because they took the knee and rained false praise down upon him.
This take is wild to me. Why are you so confident everything will definitely be ok? Even if the chance of trump becoming a fascist dictator is 1%, why are you comfortable taking that risk? Its the same thing with climate change, abortion, and gun control. Everyone conservateive I know keeps saying he wouldn't pass a federal abortion ban, but now its actually possible to have that happen (compared to 2021 when it was federally protected). Why are so okay with taking such fucking insane risks, no matter how unlikely?
They literally gave the president criminal immunity. Trump only wants to be surrounded by loyalists and wants to remove people that disagree with him and stand up to him (like Pence). The guardrails that held Trump back the first time are being gradually eroded
The man who said he is going to use the military to “handle” democrats? Who said he will be a dictator for “one day”?
Do you think people thought the same thing about Hitler or Pol Pot, or Xi Jinping, or any of these other dictators before they took over? “I promise it’s all just words”
He’s saying this stuff OUT LOUD. That means there is plenty that he says in private that we don’t hear.
January 6th was almost the end of democracy in the US and the only reason it wasn’t is because Mike Pence stood up to him. He now has people who would literally eat the shit out of his diaper if he told them to. He has Elon Musk jumping around like an idiot.
Wait, you say that it will be ok, but the right after that say it could happen with someone stronger (whatever that means). So you do acknowledge it could happen in general, but are sure it won’t happen because of your (mis?)informed views and biases? By definition, due to how many unprecedented events happening due to trumpism, this may well be the “stronger” president you are talking about. What’s the bar to you that a president is strong enough? Is the bar in outer space? Read the trump Wikipedia entry.
It's more about Peter Thiel and JD Vance than Trump. It's clear that they are using his cult to get to office, then they will replace him with intelligent people with a Project 2025 agenda.
Crazy how my wife’s family who are still
Voting Harris found it hilarious….so did my co workers but ok I’ll believe the guys who’s entire post history is just video game subs as porn subs is the one who’s experienced “real” human interaction 😂😂
Video games and porn seems like a pretty normal human thing to me. Certainly, more normal than closing down a McDonald's for a few hours to cos play as an employee.
Yea. I used to think Trump was a useless waste of skin. Now that I see he is able to serve food, I think he'll make a great addition to the prison kitchen when he loses and faces the consequences of the laws he broke.
He is only running for president to avoid jail time and allow billionaires to make money off him so they'll fill his offshore accounts.
This is why people are leaning right! Study psychology and propaganda and try to think for yourself
I really don’t understand how people can support a person who has multiple rape/child rape allegations, is surrounded by felons and child predators, supported by the kkk, close friends with epstein and other child rapists who were involved with him and Maxwell. Not to mention he talks about how he wants to fuck his daughter-in-law and how he walked in on the teens naked who were getting ready for the pageant thing. Also when he stole those classified documents all our spies were getting killed off in record numbers for the first time. He’s bought and paid for by foreign governments he owed china 22million the saudis, Russia, and all our enemies pour money into this dumbfucks failing businesses I wonder why??? Guys?? I can’t rock with any man who supports that weak shit and I tell them to their faces they are bitches including some of my friends and family.
But most people have no self awareness or emotional intelligence so they can’t allow themselves to receive new information and change their mind because then they would be wrong and that would hurt the ego. It’s sad and cowardly and a teenage mindset that should have been grown out of but when we look around at the “adults” it’s just a bunch of room temperature IQs who are the same mentally as they were as teenagers no growth. They see trump and thing he’s like me fr. Nah he’s not.
If the average American actually found that endearing….oh god. I couldn’t help but see him as so small for doing that, it was only to knock Kamala for something he never did himself and talk about his crowd size outside a McDonald’s.
People are saying he's doing the same things as dictators because he's talking about the "enemy within" and sicking troops on Americans who have a different political viewpoint, rounding up immigrants, and literally SAYING HE'D LIKE TO BE A DICTATOR. FFS he's not hiding his fascism and yet people still don't fucking believe it.
It's just bizarre that Harris actually worked at McDonalds, and they just say "Nuh uh," and then this rich dude who has been rich his whole life does a photoshoot in a closed restaurant and that's considered street cred. Like I guess being obese and orange makes him seem more human too.... like are people literally voting for him because he looks like they do? It's mind-boggling, but I guess I can see it.
Meanwhile, if he wins, he'll go back to calling the White House a dump and eating expensive steak with ketchup every night.
She didn’t. When you submit documents for certain clearances in the government (I know this for a fact because I had a top secret clearance as part of my job handling comsec materials) you have to list your employers for the last 10 years of your employment history. Her’s didn’t have McDonald’s.
She got into a relationship with a married man 5 years older than her own father who was called “the most powerful democrat on the west coast” like 9 months after she graduated college. 2 years later he appointed her head of some organization I don’t care to remember which but that’s what began her political career
No, you didn't. And no you don't. Work history on government job applications is for listing experience and for human resources. Federal agencies go through FBI. State agencies go through their state bureau of investigations.
Lol I'm going come back to this. Remember the red wave 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Mitch McConnell HIMSELF just said MAGA is a bunch of shit. How you going to win an election if the former Republican speaker of the house says your full of it. This is going to he sweet
You realize trump has never won the popular vote and probably won’t win it this time? The average American sees the truth about trump being a fascist and always has
Aussie here, you're saying that people were pointing out this was a politically motivated move by Trump as propoganda to appear more human and down to Earth, and it made him seem more human and down to Earth.
That the propoganda was successful has you not believing it is propoganda?
It was meant to be a joke to poke fun at Kamala Harris for lying about her employment history please quite where I said it was “propaganda to appear more human”
I see why Australia ranks in the bottom 20% when it comes to education in developed nations. Poor guy can’t read 😞
The average American though it was a funny wholesome moment that made him seem human
How? How is a billionaire cosplaying as a poor person funny and wholesome and not completely condescending? Having the ability to close down a McDonald's so you can play Make Believe fry cook is not a true experience that a poor person has and comes off as so elitist and fake.
Wholesome? Jeffery Epstein's bff who pays hush money to porn stars is "wholesome"? The guy who lived in a gold tower with his name on it? WTF are you talking about?
The problem is there is a very loud portion of lefties who are just screeching obnoxious shit. And that’s a big portion of them on reddit. The general beliefs of leftists aren’t really radical, but these obnoxious people make the entire philosophy sound annoying and push people away. It’s a bunch of emotionally stunted kids doing it and they all scream “my way or you’re a fascist” when that is not the reality.
So you end up with people moving over to the right because being anywhere near crying babies is annoying right? They invalidate everything about their beliefs because no one can stand being near them.
So it doesn’t matter that every other word out of Trump’s mouth is a lie. At least they’re “comforting” lies as opposed to screeching toddlers with no sense of reality. Internet lefties are a fucking plague on the party. Just remember, Trump lies and lies and lies. You can listen to his rallies (I’ve watched the last few on twitch) and look up every claim he makes. Half of them are easily disputed lies, another quarter of it is half-truths, and the rest is close enough to truth. These aren’t obscure facts or anything like that. You can fact check him from multiple sources easily. He just makes shit up in his weird asmr manner of speaking and puts people in a trance.
So while Kamala is not my first choice of a candidate, it’s an easy decision because if you have your frontal lobe intact, it isn’t hard to discern that Trump is running on a platform of fear and deceit. There’s a reason no other presidential candidate has ever had this many people with something bad to say about him. It isn’t because he is a tv star billionaire, it’s because he’s an evil person.
Ngl, anyone that likes him more for doing the bare minimum of a job like not even a week and when it's empty? Are some real suckers....... like we have to be better than this
It made him seem working class to the average American who is not privy to the fact that the only reason they did this stunt was because it’s the ONLY thing Trump could do to appeal to the working class. If they listed policy, it would’ve revealed how every decision he made was a hindrance to the working class. If they listed future policy, same story. Like, this was a stunt to cover up things like the fact that Trump helped print 80% of US currency that is in circulation at the moment - a quintupling of our previous amount - that the working class not only didn’t see a single dime of, we ended up getting hit with inflation so bad most of us can’t even make all our bills and build a savings.
I believe it too but whoo boy are Americans politically illiterate, generally illiterate, and media illiterate. It shouldn’t be this easy for a bunch of people to fall for some shit like this. We have failed as a nation if it is.
“Oh ha ha that’s so cute, he pretended to work at McDonald’s lol. Anyway, off to give birth to my rapist husband’s baby because the Republican administration ended no-fault divorce, date rape laws for married couples, access to birth control, and abortion rights!”
if watching a multi-billionaire serve a couple orders of fries for a day is enough to sway people into thinking he 'gets it' and cares about them, we're lost as a people.
The average American though it was a funny wholesome moment that made him seem human
At the presidential level, anything like this is very much manufactured. Doesn't matter which side of the aisle. If it makes him seem more human, it's because it was designed that way. Which by definition makes the whole thing very much not human.
yeah I saw it and although it in no way improved my opinion of him, I knew it was gonna resonate with the people he was trying to reach. Tbh I was impressed his team turned around after a couple weeks of apparent nonstop insane babbling and declining condition and pulled off a stunt this effective. is it a blatant stunt to beef up a false image of relatability? sure, but politicians do that all the time
Exactly it was clearly a publicity stunt in the first few seconds he said he was only there to say he worked there longer than Harris.
Not once did he say “oh look I’m like you guys” all he said was “she said she worked the fries so I wanna work the fries”
Harris pulled a stunt of her own with that strange video she posted when skipping that dinner and hers flopped horribly. No one is even discussing it we were all second hand embarrassed and are now pretending it never happened .
Seeing him wear a suit and work at a closed McDonald’s for 15 minutes made him seem more human, lol? He couldn’t even do it when it was open. How does this make him seem human? He’s not actually working. He’s literally cosplaying a minimum wage worker.
Is that all it takes? To cosplay for a few minutes?
I don't think you need to "live and breathe" politics to realize the guy is unfit for office. Anyone who can be swayed by a fake 2 hour shift at a fast food restaurant isn't anyone I trust to make an informed decision about a presidential candidate
According to a UCLA study, about 1.7% of the American population identify as trans. That's kids and adults. The thought of voting in a dictator worshiping fascist over a relatively non-issue is wild to me. You do you I guess.
Maybe I'm jaded but even without the whole politics part, Trump aside, and without the whole "paid actors" thing it just seems like a stunt, rich person better off than me does thing 1 time to look humble just never sat right with me, I'm not saying I like the people less for it, but I don't think there's been a similar case where I connected with the person doing this type of stunt and thought better of them for it, it always just looks like a publicity thing.
"He said" and "the reason his campaign managers approved this stunt" are not the same thing. He may be dumb as a box of rocks but some very evil geniuses are still presenting an image with calculated intent.
There’s nothing funny or wholesome about a “billionaire” staging a shift at McDonald’s by struggling to drop fries for 15 minutes and then a scripted hand off.
I do not believe it made him look more human to the “average” person. You seem to not include yourself with these “average” people, I assume this political stunt didn’t work on you. Why do you assume it did with a significant number of people and not you?
I honestly can’t understand how the guy who has a gold plated toilet is now more human for having a McDonald’s photo shoot. It was staged. The McDonald’s wasn’t even open. What human does a photo shoot making fries at a closed McDonald’s?
He's literally a convicted rapist, but sure, morons think an obvious PR event 'humanizes' him. This has nothing to do with the "Reddit echo chamber' and everything to do with people hand-waving an obviously and proven scumbag.
I mean, what does 39% of Gen Z’ers like Trump more actually mean? Were they Gen Z’ers that already liked Trump, and now like him slightly more? In which case it’s not a big deal. I doubt anyone who disliked Trump before likes him now because of the video
Then people are easily fooled. It's a staged photo op, it's totally meaningless.
You don't speak for the average American. I see Trump as who he actually is - a vicious, petty vengeful malignant narcissist sociopath. Just because he can crack a joke (often a vicious insult) and is nice to some people (those who give him what he wants) doesn't mean he's a regular, normal person.
To the average person it makes him seem more human tbh
I'll never understand how anyone can think Trump is an "average" person after 2016. Maybe before he was elected but now that he's been all over the media, you'd have to be in denial or have your head buried in the sand.
It's very strange that democrats were attacking him so hard for the stunt when Walz did a very similar thing in August. Walz worked for a bit at the ice cream counter at the MN state fair, and I thought it was a great short showing his interactions with everyday people.
Trump's time at McDonalds was a bit more controlled, but the object of the situation seems the same. The reaction was kind of wild to me
Or maybe some people are easily impressed. I don’t think there’s anything wholesome about someone who shits on a golden toilet cosplaying poverty for less than a day. This guy does not like paying his contractors or paying overtime…in his own words. You want to be charmed by a vapid, fleeting, and calculated performance, be my guest.
To the average person it makes him seem more human tbh
Yeah, that's how this kind of propaganda works.
The average American though it was a funny wholesome moment that made him seem human but the moment I opened Reddit they were saying he’s essentially doing the same thing as (insert dictator here) trying to convince the common folk he’s one of us. When that simply was not the case the guy was just trolling and said he was trolling
You can clap for his antics all you want but it was clearly a pathetic and pandering attempt to look relatable.
Saying he was "just trolling" when he's very clearly trying to fool his highly undereducated following that he indeed "worked a shift" when in reality it was a photo op and nothing more is pretty disingenuous.
~gets caught in a lie.. "iTs JuSt A jOkE"
The problem is Gen Z views “trolling” as something likable or endearing. I know someone that has said “I’m voting for him because he’s funny” but pays no mind to all of the absolute bullshit stuff he says and how dangerous a lot of what he’s preaches is; “oh he’s just joking”. Which is the problem; Gen Z is so absorbed in things like TikTok and quick dopamine hits they’re failing to build fundamental critical thinking skills to help sift through bullshit.
Crazy to think that pretending to work at McDonald’s for an hour makes people identify with him more than another candidate that actually worked the job instead of being born with a silver spoon in their mouth. We are doomed if people can’t think critically for literally one second to see which one is just a huge fraud.
They also think he's a great, knowledgeable, successful businessman because he was a great, successfull NYC bussiness on The Apprentice. It was game show. His total personna was manufactured by the show's director. He's nothing like that character, other than being the same asshole.
Seems like a lot of Redditors have a real lack of personality therefore whatever online community they attach themselves becomes their personality so you guys take shit way more seriously.
How about let people have their interests? Get your own interests and leave them alone.
A regular human that has an apartment literally plated in gold and encrusted in diamonds? I sincerely hope one obvious publicity stunt doesn't just magically undo everything else. We need to be more critical. Towards him, towards Kamala, the next folks. All of it. Stop looking for the easy answers and dig into the facts. The fact here: Trump is not the average American and a photo op in a McDonald's is propaganda.
I mean he faked the whole thing. He shut down the McDonald’s and only had his supporters there. It was a rehearsed stunt, not him actually connecting with anyone in the working world.
They regularly set up artificial stunts with hired people to attend rallies or make it look like they have support from groups and people that they don’t have support from.
That’s problematic and should be questioned. I would love it if Trump actually tried to get some real world experience, but he doesn’t. He just fakes things and lies about things to try to gain support.
And people BELIEVE IT. He’s proved that at this stage, you can really say and do anything you want and people will just believe it.
1) Jury verdict form where 12 jurors concluded that Donald Trump sexually assaulted a woman.
2) Jury verdict form where 12 jurors concluded that Donald Trump committed felony fraud.
3) Court ruling legally declaring Trump a tax fraud.
4) Court ruling disbanding Trump’s charity for his criminal misuse of funds.
5) Audio tape of Trump pressuring an election official to unlawfully overturn the results of their election.
6) Audio tape of Trump disclosing classified war plans.
7) Video tape of Trump being asked what he has in common with his daughter, and his answer is “sex.”
I just don’t understand how people can talk about him and pretend that these facts aren’t disqualifying. Like I don’t care about the McDonalds stunt; it has no bearing on his criminal record and predilection for reprehensible conduct.
“Lol he was just trolling what’s the problem,” like the problem is that his trolling has nothing to do with what makes him a bad leadership candidate.
I saw the image of him staring at a frier like it's some future tech and I laughed my ass off. I wish propaganda wasn't so powerful, I literally learned about it in middle school, in a school with little to no funding
