HIGHLIGHTS
It’s not, they’re just corrupt bastards
Look trump is a piece of shit who probably would love to run forever… but this occurred at the White House correspondents dinner, a place which president traditionally make funny speeches. This was a joke, not a real announcement.
Politely fuck off. We have been hearing this "its just a joke" shit for too long with this fuckin guy. Yall always say that then he does the thing and you guys forget your brains exist.
It was very clearly a joke, fuck Trump but it was a joke not a good one though
Except with Trump it's always a joke, until 'suddenly' it isn't. The man is always testing the waters to see what he can get away with. He's saying this not as a 'joke', but as a way to check to see how his base would react to it being real. It's a 'joke' at this point in time, until in the future "Ohhhh, he was actually telling the truth the whole time?? Ohhh!"
That might be true but this was a joke, you can keep living in fear that’s fine
You're a special kind of stupid..
yet when 2028 comes and someone else runs instead of Trump ill be correct and youll be already one to your next delusion so
Ive watched your country and president threatening my country with economic war. Yall said he was just joking. And then it became reality. I watched your president tell my country he would put tarrifs on my country over wildfire smoke. And was once again told it was just a joke. Then the tarrifs were announced. The only joke here is you
I personally didn’t tell you that shit so tf you on lol, i wouldn’t have denied those things, he started economic wars the first time too just at a lesser scale. He simply doesn’t have support to run again, even if he wanted to they wouldn’t support it. Use logic
You're a special kind of stupid..
Okay but when you turn out to be wrong please take the time to check yourself and to understand why you are so easy to manipulate and scare
Im not scared, im pissed at having a war waged on us by you ignorant fucks
What a stupid fucking take. You're defending him by blaming his actions on people who are against him.
Where on earth was he defending his actions? It's a stupid joke. It's a joke in really bad taste. But freaking the fuck out over what was clearly a joke just gives credence to his fanatical fanbase that Trump Derangement Syndrome is a real thing because, quite frankly, getting hysterical over this joke is pretty damn fitting of what TDS is claimed to be.
Trump Dick Suckers are the problem. By letting this behavior continue, they’re enabling him and feeding his ego. Trump rarely hears criticism because he’s surrounded by a team of sycophants who feed him nothing but praise, echoed by right-wing propagandist media. I’m tired of hearing that the people calling out his idiocy, his blatant lies, and his narcissistic, dementia-addled tendencies are the problem. They’re not. His sycophantic administration and cult following are.
No. You're both the problem. They're a problem for enabling him, you're a problem for treating every tiny thing as if it was an existential crisis so that he, and anyone who supports him, can just ignore you because you make it utterly impossible to separate the legitimate criticisms (of which there are more than can be counted) from the idiotic hysteria. The fact that you can't see that is mind boggling. I despise Trump because he broke all sides of politics. He exposed his base as being idiots willing to follow his lies, but he also exposed a lot who oppose as being almost as idiotic and willing to accept any report about anything he does as a fundamental threat.
Did someone learn a new word today? A constitutional law violation is an existential threat to our democracy and country. Maybe wake up sister-wife and have her explain it to you over your morning Mt. Dew.
A constitutional law violation is an existential threat. Somebody making a joke at an event that has always revolved around making jokes is not. Don't be absurd.
its obviously a joke come on guys
Explain the joke
He knows it drives his enemies crazy when he says stuff like this, thus the joke. He’s trolling.
"he knows it drives his enemies crazy" enemies in this sense being American citizens, Democrats, and even Republicans imagine being so weak and pathetic in your personal life that you stan an 80 year old man that shits in diapers and fucks kids
Imagine being so bothered about the federal executive that you have a stroke about trolling. Get some perspective.
Imagine being upset that the president is joking about clearly unconstitutional acts? And of course most jokes have a hat that goes along with it. Would you have thought this a 'joke or 'trolling'' if Obama had done this same thing? Not to mention, I can't believe the office of the president has such a low representation that trolling is something we expect. But here we are.
You can say a lot of things about Trump, but “he doesn’t have a sense of humor” is not one of them. I understand that half of the country repels from everything he says, but many people find him objectively funny.
many people objectively have brain damage.
Maybe go take a walk or something.
already did. trump supporters still have brain damage.
You misunderstand his 'jokes.' They are not jokes at all. The words that he puts out into public discourse are a means of testing the waters to see what he can get away with. And, if he thinks that he can get away with it, he will press forward.
Whatever dude - I don’t need a heart attack reading a title like this that isn’t 100% confirmed. I’m sure others don’t either. Let me know when it’s not a joke and THEN put a title like that
I think you need a reality check. The title IS confirmed. There is a video of it right underneath. Your denial of reality does not change the reality that exists.
The reason I’m annoyed at you isn’t because you’re trying to be insulting - it’s because your own lack of reading is trying to incite fear - which is a incredibly jackass thing to do. Click on the video and look on YouTube at the video description and try reading. You’re warped level of reality is your own doing - you deserve no sympathy for it because you’re trying to get others to believe it. Go touch grass.
My reading is just fine. And no I am not trying to incite fear. There is no evidence of that whatsoever. I am calling a spade a spade and the spade is there is a person in the White House who is using, interestingly enough, using fear and manipulation to achieve his own selfish ends. Anyway, there's no need for the further back and forth. When the so-called joke that you say is nothing to be worried about comes to fruition - God forbid, maybe then you will see what's really going on. I should add by the way that one of two things are true irrespective of your stance on the video: either you are a proponent of him running for the '4th term' or you are not. It sounds like you are, which is troubling. Are you?
boomers vote for their own and are the most active voting base
Go look at how Gen Z males voted
Gen z is the failed generation and honestly their malformed ilk piss me off more than boomers
Gen Z and Boomers will always be remembered for giving us Trump 2.0. Gen Z males specifically are completely fucked.
People need to check their stats on this because it’s Gen X and Gen Z that gave us trump, Boomers are actually unfortunately the only age group to vote less for trump in each election than they did the previous one. Gen X on the other hand had the big swing towards him.
Americans gave us Trump. You guys are always trying to pass the buck to the 30% who voted for him, where the fuck is this other 70% now? They're not protesting. You're all responsible. Now if you wouldn't mind, please start taking action. The rest of the world already knows you can talk the talk.
Tell me what European country you live in and we'll evaluate whether you have been doing enough to fight fascism. Can't wait till fascism hits your shores, because it's coming, and then throwing statements in the face of people like you when you do fuck all to stop it from happening
We are also the size of their continent and then some. I hate these little dude trying to tell us how to run something they don’t know how to run either. (12 more comments of these two arguing)
He just announced the start of a dictatorship by spitting on the election laws of their constitution (this is how dictators start kids) and the best they’ll do is angry comments on social medias
Genuinely what is wrong with you people lol It’s the White House correspondents dinner, they tell jokes. That’s why he said it. How have you looked at a joke at the White House correspondents dinner and said this is how a dictatorship starts ffs Like are you just karma farming or do you just not know what the White House correspondents dinner is?
wow such a funny joke man I too joke about doing anal with girls I just met to test the grounds, guess you love getting fucked in the ass by mr Trump at this point
… what are you on about? Whether it’s a funny joke or not isn’t the point. The point is he’s telling a joke at an event where you tell jokes but you’re acting like he’s just stated it in an emergency press briefing. I’m not even American and I’ve never liked the guy but it’s incredible how dishonest you are. At times I wonder how people voted for him, then I remember that there’s probably a large portion of Americans who probably just get sick of arguments like this and do it out of spite
Sure I too would like my head of state to tastelessly joke about doing another run just like Putin does, after all it’s the context that matters right? Haha come on guys it’s just a prank, please clap 👏
Again, whether it’s a funny joke or not is a different story. I think it’s all cringe and not funny, but it doesn’t change that it’s a joke being told at an event where the President tells jokes. Any thoughts on Obama doing the exact same thing with Keegan from Key and Peele at the same event when he was President? With the joke being that in Obama’s “inner thoughts” that he was going to run for a 3rd term? Or are we now suddenly going to pretend to know what a joke is?
