    Oh yeah, I’m sure he was “joking”. He also doesn’t know anything about project 2025, and he’s not really butt buddies with dictators like kim and pootin.

        Oh, that was just high school locker room pranks, you guys! Just like bragging about sexual assault and using the word “pussy” (oh, a naughty word! that was the real issue people had when he was admitting to sexual assault - phrasing) was “locker room talk”. That insurrection? That was like snapping a towel in the shower…

      It’s “It’s obviously a joke” if you’re a Democrat

      It’s “He tells it like it is” if you have two brain cells fighting for third place, or easier put, a republikkklown.

    Here we go again. Right-wong pundits claiming Trump didn’t mean what he said, all the while Trump’s out there saying he meant exactly what he said. We’ve been here before, don’t be fooled.

    That’s pretty funny. Cotton and all the other people claiming this are in direct opposition to Trump’s explanation. He said they wouldn’t need to vote “because the country will be fixed, and frankly, we won’t even need your vote anymore.”

    So he was joking that he’d fix the country? Are people sprouting off before they’re getting their talking points?

    Oh, hahahaha. Just a joke! Well, then. I’m sure this counts as hilarious to the creepy weirdos like Cotton and donnie.

    Sorry if normal Americans will take this kind of thing as most definitely NOT a joke.

    he continued. “For four years, things were good with President Trump. We had stable prices, a growing economy, peace and stability around the world.”

      It’s horrifying to think that if not for COVID, he probably would have won a second term.

        If not for COVID, the US would’ve entered a recession anyway but it might have been properly attributed to Trump. He was already badgering the Fed to lower interest rates in 2019, before the disease was even discovered, because of his disastrous tax handout for the wealthy and trade war with China.

        I he had promoted mask wearing and distancing, sold MAGA masks, called it a “war on Corona” and pushed the “American-made” vaccine, it would have been a landslide.

          Remember Cuomo taking control of Covid leadership? It felt like everyone was watching him until it came out that he lied about the nursing home.
