Trump: "We were the richest relatively -- think of this -- from 1870 to 1913. That was our richest. Because we collected tariffs ... we had so much wealth. Of course, now we give it away to transgender ... everybody gets a transgender operation."

Lets not talk about the fact that people worked 6 days a week, 12 hrs a day in the 1800s. Or that robber barons crushed working folks. Gotta throw the transgender trope in there to gin up the rubes . Heres a thought if you subsitute jew for transgender. Whose speeches does this resemble?

That's a good little movie. I saw it years ago. I like how it emphasizes the nazis attacked education The republicans have been attacking college for years now. They even have a jerk Charlie Kirk going around to college campuses lecturing that college is a rip off.

I would think if i was dropped from another planet and heard him speak, I would assume he was slightly unintelligent and possibly senile. Not making great, making laughing stocks. Please go away. No one believes you, the idiots in the room have no authenticity so they go along to be a part of it.

What exactly is a Transgender operation? I've been trying to work this out. If I get a free operation, it means I don't pay for it. If I get an emergency operation, it means it was an emergency. They don't turn me into an emergency. So is a transfender operation when the surgeon has transitioned?

We became the richest country in like 1903. We remained the richest and became richer because we came out of the depression and won a war against facsism. We did that thru free trade, productivity, immigration, & alliances. All of that is being shitted away.

Has no one studied the labor wars? Aside from the boom and bust, and the other problems created in this era, the labor wars demonstrate the absolute insanity of the gilded age. The damage in human terms was extreme. Overcoming it was violent and bloody.

I'm going to follow that up with where's my free surgery? I paid 20 grand for this face, and the only thing covered was the hospital stay because they also fixed a drviated septum while they were in there.

They’re gonna cut $2T from federal budget just by getting rid of the transgender surgeries - you’ll see - it’ll happen so fast you’re head will spin, coming in two weeks - like a miracle

trump says... 1870 to 1913.... Tariffs? Probably not. Get real... Steel Rail Oil Steam power Education More gaslighting by the most talented lying huckster in our nation's history.

If “everybody” gets a transgender operation, that means Trump has one and Musk has one and Melania has one… 🤣 All I could picture was Oprah - YOU get a transgender operation and YOU get a transgender operation….😂

I’m sorry that your experience with the gay recruitment office has been less than satisfactory. According to our records your onboarding documents were sent to the email address ireallywanatrycock@gmale.cum please let us know if this address is correct. 😜

I'm a little surprised he didn't start at 1877. He wants America to return to the Gilded Age when Jim Crow was king and there was no federal income tax. And I'm sure that America was richer after 1945, relative to a devastated Europe.

Trans people make up about 1% of the population. They want us to focus on trans people so we don’t focus on the other 1% - the ultra rich.

George McKeever
@georgemckeever.bsky.social

Of course that is a simplistic view and ignores the negative consequences of tariffs at that time. But you can't make someone who refuses to understand even the simplest facts about economics learn something. And no, no one is spending vast wealth on transgender operations.

Keep your creepy beady fucking nazi eyes out of peoples pants you fucking perverted old fuck. Just because your pecker is so small you need tweezers to jerk off even with your tiny hands, doesnt mean you need to see everyone elses genitals.

Let’s put this correct… If Trump puts a 25% tariff on a TV made in China it’s not China that pays it. It’s AMERICANS when they go buy one from the store that’s paid the extra 25% to Import it. If a bottle of Scottish Whiskey has a 40% tariff it’s the American at the bar that pays the 40%.. GET IT!

It isn't technically true. The US loans to Europe were never to be repaid, especially those which they were supposed to get from Germany. It had some affect, but the Great Depression is quite similar to the sub-prime mortgage issue that kicked of 2007-08.

@shaenon.bsky.social

He is genuinely quite stupid, but he doesn't really give a crap about trans people one way or the other. Hating trans people gets handclaps, so hating trans people has to be worked into every sentence, whether or not it makes sense.

@tjmholden.bsky.social

Everyone gets one? That's sooooooo unfair! Blame DEI. Boy, this country went to hell in a handbasket as soon as women got the vote. Or maybe it was when the North won the war. For sure, once we let Natives have casinos on those private camps we herded them into, whites definitely were disadvantaged

Imagine
@speedimart.bsky.social

Good Lord! Can anyone honestly listen to this, LISTEN TO THIS, & not say Trump is certifiably in a state of dementia? This fragmented sentence doesn't make sense, everything he says is an outrageous lie & he can't tie it together. How can the GOP support such INSANITY? What does it take if not this?

@moose1212.bsky.social

As much as I disagree with almost everything Trump thinks, in 2015-2016 Trump at least had an accurate diagnosis of what an average American was upset about at the time. But at this point he is in an alternate reality cultivated by a few prominent folks who recognize he’s a useful idiot.

The least intelligent “thing” on the planet. For those that are the yes people surrounding him, the enablers that form his posse, the authors of the insane Project 25 that pay him to implement their mind warping ideology and the gullible uninformed that voted for him, enjoy your democracy drowning.

Anybody who knows history, ie, not him, knows that's not true From Wikipedia: The Panic of 1873 was a financial crisis that triggered an economic depression in Europe and North America that lasted from 1873 to 1877 or 1879 in France and in Britain.

Man, every time I listen to this guy I'm on the same journey: 1. he's lying 2. wait, no, he's a moron 3. depends on whether he believes what he's saying 4. he probably doesn't "believe" things the way normal humans do 5. ok, so wtf kind of human listens to this and actually believes it 6. morons

stonemom.bsky.social
@stonemom.bsky.social

Many things can be true all at once. 1. he's a moron; 2. he's lying; 3. he's crazy AF. Also, 4. he's deeply mentally disturbed on many levels.*(*psychopath, malignant narcissist, pathological liar). What he believes? He doesn't have the bandwidth to really "believe" anything in particular.

I don't quite mean to be Sunday afternoon reply guy, but I feel that I would put it slightly differently. 2. Wait, no, he's broken and weird ... 6. People who need/want to believe it, or pretend to, or who delight in public displays of cruelty aimed at their perceived in-group enemies.

I had an exchange with someone who was trying to argue that, even though there would be some *discomfort*, America would be just fine. After all, Germany is still around today, even after The Third Reich 😳 My only response was- Holy shit, you're dense

@artemis46.bsky.social

It's no coincidence that the population percentage of transgender people in the U.S. is about the same as the population percentage of Jewish people in Germany in the 1930s - less than 1 percent.

It's the fascism playbook. Find a tiny minority, demonize them, and blame them for all your problems. And people are stupid enough to fall for it, over and over.

I wish I could offer you real support. You might check out Rabbi Jill Zimmerman online if you haven't already. She has a good balance of hope and support with cries of activism.

I was just at the Autism Social & Mental Health Conference last month. To go even deeper - 1% of the entire population identifies as transgender...and only 1% of THAT population undergoes gender-reassignment surgery!

Trans people are one of the poorest minorities in the United States because of the discrimination we receive. I would love to know where the hell we're supposed to get a hold of all this money this orange moron is insisting we're getting. Is there a hotline I can call to get my check sent over?🤣

This is the closest thing I’ve heard him say as far as his concepts of a health care plan. That and canceling cancer and vaccine research anyway.
