      Did anybody catch him adding “I’m not Christian!”?

      That's funny, I heard, "I'm a Christian".

        @Copper

        That’s funny, I too heard the same.

        I am sure he identifies as one, at least nominally.

          I think the generous read is that he was saying ‘I’ll fix everything in four years so you won’t need to worry about anything by 2028’.

          That’s not the generous read, that’s what he is saying. He’s not saying that he will take control and never leave, which is the way it’s being portrayed. That take is stupid, dishonest, and dangerous.

          Agree with you and @jon-nyc that is what he meant. Stupid media spin.

              A man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest.

              The man is being clear as a bell. He didn't dance around the issue. I understand exactly what he's saying after the explanation.

              Who doesn't?

              You know, it's often said Christians shouldn't get their theology out of hymn books. Maybe you need to quit getting your political views off of X. The platform is opinion, which is fine. We discuss stuff we find on it a lot. But during those discussions, it's often found the tweet is severely biased, intentionally compromised or sometimes just a flat lie.

              This person framing Trump as not wanting elections is a flat lie.

              Noticed he didn't address why Trump said what he did.

                Haha what an interview... he takes one question and tackles like 10 topics. Classic Trump! And in his defense, I think he answered the question but the idea that he meant "no more elections" is so ridiculous I honestly don't think it even registers to him that is what the question is all about.

                  It didn't register, because it's not even close to what he said or meant.

                  Why should he address every crockpot theory of the Democrat fever swamp?

                      @Jolly It’s precisely what he said, though I think it’s clear it’s not what he meant. A clarification was in order.

                        If you went back and caught the original speech - not the snippet - the crowd knew what he said and what he meant.

                        Ingraham helped clarify for those who had their panties in a wad over a non-issue.

                            As has been the case for the past 8 years, most of the problems President Trump has are self created.

                              Bullshit.

                              And I do mean bullshit. Does Trump make some dumb or oddball statements? Yes, occasionally.

                              But nobody under the type of microscope he lives under is perfect. Every possible error -I said possible, not actual - is immediately pounced upon by the media, even if they have to cut the tape to make their story.

                              In the meantime, the media was in the tank for Biden and his campaign. The man was starting to have cognitive problems in 2020. He has gotten worse as time has passed, but the media was covering for him like a cat covering up shit.

                              It wasn't until the man literally imploded on a huge national stage that people knew the emperor had no clothes and the media was forced to report on The Resident's problems.

                              I do not understand how people who have been so thoroughly gaslighted, had smoke blown up their ass so hard that smoke shot out of their nostrils, are suddenly ascribing to the media a level of veracity normally reserved for the Ten Commandments.

                                I agree that the press has been unfair to President Trump, but I still believe that a lot of the problems he has is his own fault.

                                        Trump is a guy who many, including myself, think has a "problematic" relationship to the pillars of democracy, such as accepting the results of an election.

                                        To then go ahead and make such an ambiguous statement, even if he means it in a different way, is either unbelievably silly, or it illustrates that he does in fact have a problem with democracy.

                                          Okay, we'll go down this path again...Although what he said in the speech doesn't have anything to do with a democracy problem.

                                          Trump thinks he was rooked in the 2020 election. He did everything he legally could, to fight the result, including exploring some unique Constitutional avenues. But at no time did he step outside of the law nor did he fail to leave office when all legal avenues failed. (And yeah, think think he got rooked, too. In more than one way. I have lots of company in that view).

                                          So if you bought into the "Democracy In Peril" BS, that was preceded by the failed "Bidenomics" messaging, the Dems have now pretty much shifted from DIP to "Republicans Are Weird". That's the campaign BS this week. Stay tuned, it will change.

                                          “Cry havoc and let slip the DOGE of war!”

                                          Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton
