I tried to find a video of this on youtube, which I could not. I did however find a video of him making the same mistake 3 weeks ago in Pennsylvania, this time confusing it with North Carolina 🙄
https://www.youtube.com/live/9nfm-6_8mWg?feature=shared&t=14414 time code is in the link but its at 4:00:30 if it doesn’t follow
Not sure really if its a gaffe or he just thinks he’s talking to a national audience at these, either way what he says is stupid
It sounds like in this case hes not mistaking, just talking about an unrelated town in a different state as a talking point to bring up immigration?
Yeah, and he’s bringing up situations in different parts of the country as well, all to make whatever his point is (I guess immigration bad?).
2000% increase? DAYUMN. If that were true, which of course it isn’t, that would be wild
In the speech, he said it was a 2000% increase in immigration in a small town. So if that town has something like 2 immigrants in a decade (probably a pretty realistic number), then that means there were probably a handful of immigrants in that year (2000% of 0.2 is 4).
So if it’s true, it’s likely wildly misleading.
I kinda wish it were true because imagine all of the amazing restaurants that would be popping up across the country with so many immigrants!
Gotta admit that made it even more funnier
there was only a 2% chance to be correct, don’t bash on him with such low odds!
More like a 14% chance, since the only states that matter are PA, WI, NV, MI, AZ, GA, and NC.
Right no need to travel everywhere + all the venues where they won’t let him in because he hasn’t paid for the last time he went there
The idea of Trump only campaigning in places where he doesn’t have unpaid bills in is hilarious
Maybe that’s the real reason Giovanni had that press conference at four seasons landscaping. Make it look like someone made a dumb but relatable mistake instead of admitting that no one wanted to host them.
I guess he’ll be campaigning in Point Nemo then.
Were he able to read he could have had the place names on a card or autocue
Were he able to keep competent staff that cars or autocue might even be correct and updated since the previous stop
“Hellllooooooo Saint Loooouiiiiiiis!”
“Uh, it’s Springfield, Steven.”
“Oh. Yeah, right. Are You Ready To Rock?!”
Are You Ready To Rock?!
“Not yet! Give us a few more minutes!”
what does texting Trump to 88022 do? Is that like one of those 90s sex lines?
Realistically, it most likely signs you up for a deluge of spam texts about donations and the like to trump
I get that shit already, and I’ve never texted any of these 5 digit numbers lol. They seem to come in waves (like I’ll go months without getting any, then get them nearly daily for a few weeks, then quiet again), I’ve blocked so many numbers…
Since they have to pay for all those texts, would signing up for that line and then blocking it cause them to lose money?
Your number will almost certainly be given to a variety of republican campaigns and see spam from many different numbers. Good luck blocking all of them
So dont use your real phone number. Ez pz
Spoof it from 88022
It would be satisfying to see them waste money on me. More satisfying than all the Democrats who beg me for money, anyway
they are so obnoxious, my grandfather’s phone is filled to the brim with them, I have never seen a campaign send as many fucking spam texts as his campaign does it is ridiculous, my grandfather is hard blue and they are just relentless with the “Trump demands your support now!” and “DONATE TO THE CAUSE, DON’T LET THE LEFTIST HARRIS RUIN DEMOCRACY” it’s so fucking annoying, you can’t even opt out as they just blatantly ignore it. He gets more red based texts then blue lmao
Todd who previously had my phone number signed up for a lot of texts, and got his (now my) number into a ton of databases. I’ve been able to watch his cross country move and general financial improvement through these spam texts. At first it was a house in Phoenix Arizona, and some sketchy stuff related to his arrest, but looks like he moved back to the same state I live in and has a cheaper place that isn’t seeing as insane of price inflation. I’ve also seen fewer debt related texts for him and lately I’ve been getting some with his new lady friend’s name on them. Good for Todd. Hopefully he eventually learns to stop giving out my number
I already get those without having dialed anything
Might directly charge your carrier for $5 to his campaign
How does he propose to “MAKE HOUSING AFFORDABLE AGAIN”? By interfering with the free market lol?
Don’t worry, he has a concept of a plan.
Congratulations on regurgitating the Political Meme of the Day!
lol, parrots mad
I mean theoretically if they deport all non-citizens that would free up a lot of housing, as well as a lot of jobs and generally send the country into an economic death spiral thanks to the sudden and continued population decline
Deporting all the non-citizens would send us into a literal death spiral thanks to the fact that they pick all the vegetables, cut all the meat, and cook all the food in restaurants. For bonus points we would starve to death behind our unkept lawns, but at least we’d have plenty to drink from the water pouring through our leaking roofs.
Lots of non-citizens work in all of the factories that produce everything Americans consume too, including of course food production facilitiesm so house right it would probably be a literal death spiral
Would you like to buy Chinese dropshipped garbage, but in the most brilliant golden tones and for quadruple the price you’d see it on aliexpress? Then Text that number
“Many people call it Pennsylvania okay. Some call it Arizona, but many call it Pennsylvania too. Most say they don’t even know what it’s called but the ones who do, they call it Pennsylvania, okay? and you know that, and I know that and we know that, which is why nuclear, because my uncle, John trump, okay, and this guy was rough okay? Rough and tough, and BIG. okay big tears in his eyes and he says, “ummm Mr trump sir… Ummm ummm”. But you can’t do that anymore right, they don’t let you, but that had, they called it Wharton business school. And you need to know business, you need to know DEALS okay, and they say, I mean you hear this, you hear many people saying this, that, “trump does deals”. And the greats say it, you see orban, and they call him strong okay, I’m strong, she’s not strong okay, golf it’s heavy, you can’t just do golf if you’re a lady and you know that. But yeah, lady marmalade was what me and Jeff called this one girl, and she was… I mean, you could do it in those days, and they’d let you and you did it and we all did it and it was great. And that’s why okay, that’s and you see the shirts and they say it, MAGA okay, MAGA, and it says “make an elephant grapes again” and that’s really it. But the whole thing is just a hoax okay, and Hunter Biden did Hillary emails and it’s, of course it is right? And it’s sleepy joe ON STEROIDS we call it, and where is he now? You don’t see him anymore, it’s like he’s not even running for president, but that’s why I think Tim Waltz is gonna be the future vice president.”
I make it a point to not actually listen to Trump if at all possible, but I have to know. Is he a “nuclear” guy or a “nukular” guy?
No he pronounces nuclear correctly, like that one time he said “my nuclear button is much bigger than his” about Kim Jong Un on national television marking the first public threat of nuclear war by the US in decades. Ah, the old days were fun. /s
Look at that banner desperately trying to make the shooting relevant again, as if the country doesn’t have more extreme shootings every day.
Trump shootings are just a fact of life, we have to get over it.
Yes. I’m afraid all I can offer are some thoughts and prayers.
Now now, the poor man got a nick on his ear that healed within days and left no scar. He was lucky to survive an injury that gruesome.
Too many states for this Reds lover to remember
imagine if he wins and he is president when he is 82 years old…
Noooooo thank you

It’s true he isn’t the first politician but he is the first politician/felon/insurrectionists/adulterer/conspiracy theorist/rapist/pedophile.
This used to be a fun community but now it’s flooded by politics…
After November it should become less. It’s unfortunate that American politics are so meme-worthy right now, but when one of the candidates is a raging sociopathic senile narcissist, it’s going to be hard to avoid.
It’ll definitely continue until the inauguration at least.
Yeah, I’m not exhaling until like February… There’s no guarantee that winning this election is actually winning this election…
There’s a very real possibly that Trump loses the popular vote, loses the electoral college vote, and still “wins” because shithead propagandized Karens filled important election official positions in states that really matter… They’ll refuse to certify and create a condition where the votes go to states as representation, giving GOP the boost they need since even though land can’t vote, they have more “red” land than “us.”
Have you heard of Twitter before? And beyond this being expected, I’ll never understand people who want to go through life with blinders on
Some people are less interested because they’re not American.
When America gets particularly aggressive, nobody is safe.
You might not realize it, but American politics have an effect on the rest of the world all the time
As a non-American I really hope America doesn’t go fascist
Blinders? Really??
It doesn’t matter what a candidate says at some rally somewhere, what matters is who wins the election.
Following politics right now isn’t productive, because it’s just a bunch of mud-slinging both directions. In this case, this “gaffe” isn’t a gaffe, it’s just him talking about events in different parts of the country to make a broader point about immigration. The discourse we have shouldn’t be about trying to make Trump look like he has dementia (doesn’t seem like it?), but showing how his policies are absolutely ridiculous. In this case, he said a small town in Pennsylvania had a 2000% increase in immigration, which sounds like instead of having 1 person come to town, they had 20. Or more likely, instead of having an average of 1 person every 10 years, they had 2 people in one year. We should be calling out that BS, not making up stories about him forgetting where he is, that’s not productive at all.
Maybe have a bi-weekly post about current poll numbers and any interesting policy statements. But boosting posts that take statements out of context to pat our own backs is stupid.
The person I replied to implied they don’t want to see anything about politics. They are going to have a bad time on the Internet. Always. But especially now.
I’m pretty sure that was in reference to this community, which is usually about memes and whatnot. I’m guessing they still keep tabs on politics, just in other venues, like on the actual news or political communities.
Yeah, but like I said, twitter was never ever non-political. So even if we narrow the scope to only this community, their comment implies unrealistic expectations.
Its called whitepeopletwitter… Politics is all that the name could entail.
Memes follow hot topics. Election is a hot topic. Nothing more to it really. Alt theory: One dude does well with, “Trump bad”, everyone else decides to give the people what they want because muh meaningless internet points.
