As much as I’m not a fan of Trump, based on that snopes article and the context around what he said… it’s pretty obvious that he accidentally said country instead of something like company. He followed up with remarks that made it obvious he knew that it was a toy company.
Tbf he tariffed penguins.
But how many accidents does it take? He always accidentally says the wrong thing. Its a pattern.
Thanks
He’s also an idiot
did he watch the barbie movie and thought barbie land was real?
At least you don't have a woman in office, huh America?
Hillary won the popular vote, so the "you're too misogynistic to elect a woman" take does not have a basis in reality. Also, you might have noticed that AOC is filling football stadiums in red states just by being willing to speak.
Kamala lost because people got poorer for four years under Biden and she very publicly affirmed she'd change nothing about his policies. Hell, she didn't even put a platform on her website until two weeks before the election. Kamala was a legitimately bad candidate.
Why is it that female candidates are addressed by first name?
Females like Bernie
Whatever is the easiest descriptor in context. Kamala has a unique first name in politics, "Harris" is not. Hillary differentiates her from Bill, however you definitely could use either if trump is in context.
Likely to do with how they tend to campaign, for some reason most tend to be more chummy and try to seem approachable then their male counterparts. (Its still bullshit, though)
She also had a lot of whispering in her ear about how to run a campaign, including from Joe Biden who still thinks he would have won. That's also partly the reason she started stronger then diluted her platform.
If Hillary or Kamala had been men they would have won. If Kamala had been white I don't think that would have been enough to get her elected.
But if Kamala had more than a hundred days to campaign, then she might have had a fair shot.
If Hillary or Kamala had been men they would have won.
Hillary won the popular vote, so arguing for misogyny in her case isn't a reasonable argument. As for Kamala, no. She'd have lost if she had a penis too. Her campaign was a comedy of errors and she knew it. She was even caught on hot mic once expressing worry about her campaign's ability to connect with young men. (Admittedly a tough thing to accomplish when you tell people you won't change anything and young men are struggling economically and lack access to basic necessities in your country.)
The only way the Dems had a shot here was to hold a primary and actually select a seasoned, authentic candidate. Instead, they rigged it like they always do and just happened to pick someone extremely weak.
Or just break from the skeleton, call for an immediate end to the genocide of Palestinians, and keep calling the right-wingers weird, obsessive ghouls.
She was a bad candidate in 2020, when she ran in the primary
She was, couldn't even beat Tulsi Gabbard.
Trump is one of those guys you find on one of those "lol shit Americans say" videos where someone approaches "random" people on the street to ask them history or geography questions.
Except he's your president, and because your country is "nice" enough to have the world exchange currency we all have to suffer for it.
"Trump is not cognitively there".
So, he's the perfect representative for the American people.
His cabal of gamification experts discovered that the flaw in the Electoral college system could be exploited IF they could find a common denominator for all the low population areas with disproportionately high representation in the EC. Turns out it's hate. Who'd have thought.
That’s a strategy as old as Reconstruction, utilizing an antidemocratic compromise baked into the Constitution by slavers who didn’t want the anti-slavery popular vote to have the power to take away their chattel. The brain trust behind Trump’s win aren’t especially clever. They’re just the latest schmucks to be soulless and hollow enough to fully embrace that hate-filled lowest common denominator, half a century after the last bunch finally got pushed out of power.
In 2016, I'd have argued he isn't.
But now, after what we've seen out of America since, he is absolutely representative of who we are at our core in this country. Just wait until the supply chain breaks down from tariffs and people start to see empty shelves. You're REALLY going to see who the American people are then.
He's mixing Mattel and Malta...
Back before the election, Trump spoke about the fictional character Hannibal Lecter, at least twice, like he was a real person. Trump was never cognitively there!
He kept talking about Hannibal Lecter because someone mentioned asylum for immigrants, and the only "asylum" he knows is an insane asylum.
So he started talking about Hannibal Lecter every time he mentioned immigrants, equating them with insane cannibals who want to eat you.
Is there a term for Pavlov's dog but done to yourself?
Autohypnosis

No shit, that's why he signs whatever they put in front of him, and project 2025 has been followed almost to a T. He doesn't give a crap about anything in project 2025. But he's mentally in lala land and they've been hiding his declining health for a while.
Can someone sneak in an executive order instituting free basic healthcare and education for all, in one of the bundles of paper he signs?
Just call them something like "Repeal Obamacare and institute Trumpcare Act" and "Great American Education Act' and he'll sign them without reading.
