    America needs to look strong to its rivals. Putin and Xi Jinping dont agree.

    Can you provide proof that putin and xi jinping don’t agree or is this your opinion?

    Trump had a chance to look strong beside Putin in Helsinki. How did that go?

    Wasn't it only last week that Biden called Putin out? Something that Trump never did and actually sided with Putin over his own country?

    Imagine a leader ofva country standing up in front of the world and saying he believes his rival ahead of his own military? That is exactly what your definition ofva strong leader did.

    They attempted to interfere in elections, and yet Trump did nothing.

    They put bounties on the heads of American Soldiers and he waved it away.

    His entire approach to Russia was appeasement. That it was better to get on with Russia that disagree with them.

    Since you believed that Trump was right, surely if you do actually believe that Biden is weak then you see this as a good thing as it continues on Trumps policy.

    Which is it?

    probably one of the most dishonest posts i've seen in a while. you ask for a link, ignore it and then shout "look over there!". Pathetic and completely in bad faith.

    What else can they do?

    Trump was a failure in any metric. He didn't even deliver on the things he said only he could do.

    No draining the swamp didn't build the wall, didn't make America great, didn't sort out the PC libtards. He achieved nothing in terms of change.

    He was voted in, among many things, as the person to get Washington working for the people. And instead, it ended up that people are having to bail him out.

    As political movements go it was a collosal failure.

    So they have to hang on to the idea that next time it will work better.

    what else can they do? they can stop posting bad faith, pathetic and dishonest nonsense. that would be a good start.

    Well yes of course, I meant what else can they do to try to not accept the facts.

    I think those espousing the popularity of Trump somehow being qualified by the existence of this thread need to draw their attention to the poll at the top


  • Moderators, Politics Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 15,546 Mod ✭✭✭✭Quin_Dub


    I think that's called deflection.

    Il say it again. Trump is box office. Like him or loathe him they all tune in to hear what he has to say. They post it online , the print it in the media, they talk about it in work and at home.

    Box office

    Bu no one outside his core MAGA crowd will spend their own money to see it.

    Like you say - It'll get copy/pasted into Twitter/Facebook and probably posted on various media outlets - But few people will actually go to the source if they have to pay for it.

    What mainstream advertisers are going to want to pay for ad space on a Trump version of Twitter??

    As with everything in his life , this will be about trying to make money for Trump.

    He won't make money off advertising other than wall to wall MyPillow ads so he'll have to go with a subscription model.

    I have no doubt that a glut of his hard core will sign-up initially for $5 a month or whatever , but how many will stay on it when it's a complete Echo Chamber??

    They get the buzz from "owning the libs" , but there won't be a single "Lib" on that site so what will they do?

    What will happen is this - Trump will post some screed on his new platform , it will get cross posted to Twitter/Facebook and then all the activity will happen there , not on TrumpGab or whatever it's called, that will be a Ghost town.

    As someone posted on Twitter in response to Jason Miller when he announced this , Trump Social Media will be the same kind of stellar success as

    Trump Steaks
    GoTrump
    Trump Airlines
    Trump Vodka

    it is really funny how trump supporters complain about echo chambers and then start clapping when trump announces what will be an echo chamber.

    Interesting that he would say no visible downside whatsoever.

    I'd see that as a view on the potential risks of the less extreme Trump fans moving off Twitter/Facebook over to lower profile but far more polarised places like Gab etc. and being radicalised there by the far right.

    Ya, I'd be interested in reading a report on how the lack of Trump hate speech is damaging the lives of bigots, incels and racists the world over....

    I've seen it stated a fair bit around here but that really is a new low for your defense to be that you were so obviously lying that that you should never have been taken seriously in the first place.

    This has been the strategy for the last few years.

    "I'm just sh*te-talking..."

    "This is just a persona..."

    "I'm just asking questions..."

    "No right-thinking person could take me seriously..."

    "I'm a spicy meme lord lol"

    But as well as all of those, they are deadly serious, until you come at them with a legal case. Then the above excuses come out. Why not stick to your guns?

    It's no different than the 70+ Court cases about the Election.

    Speaking to the Media - FRAUD!! , THEFT!!! , TREASON!!

    Speaking to a Judge - "Actually your honor , we're not alleging fraud at all , we'd just like to challenge this particular arcane technicality that even if proven true will have no impact on the overall result"


    Spineless Shysters the lot of them..

    Disgusting pond life that have done serious, serious damage to the US electoral process. I honestly hope that Dominion break every single last one of them with their lawsuits. There has to be some repurcussions for what they did.

    When can we expect the "press release - twitter storm" refuting what Biden said about Trump dismantling the homeland security end of things with the border cases and The Biden administration having to effectively start from scratch?

    Trump attempting to re-write history... again.

    He will never learn. He will never admit a mistake. And his appeasers will continue to make excuses for him. It really is a cult.
