jesus fucking christ
why did he even go to that event? he's already got the racist vote in the bag, and it doesn't seem like he put a molecule of effort into convincing any attendees that he's the best choice. actually nvm, he's just fucking stupid and incompetent on top of being racist af
The submission title of "earning trust" is fucking hilarious but it speaks to your question. Trump has appeared before an audience of Bitcoin enthusiasts in recent days. He's apparently open to reaching out to crowds that aren't his core MAGA audience at this particular moment.
Knowing as we do now that this event went to shit for him, it's easy to look back and say it wasn't strategic for him to do it, but for the campaign manager planning the event, it was probably an easier call than letting him debate Joe Biden was, and he [will be perceived as having] "nailed that," right?
He’s desperate and going for any Hail Mary in reach.
and weird
Like yeah it’s bigoted, we knew that, but holy fuck it’s just weird to do that. I wouldn’t do that, I’m pretty weird myself but I’m nowhere near that weird
How do you not have an answer ready to go for that question when agreeing to go do that interview?
He seems like a "wing it on the night" type
I don't need a speechwriter because I'm a great speaker, probably one of the best there is on the stages these days...that's what people are saying what people are talking...look...there has never been a better person who...jeez you think someone like Obama could...should...Obama couldn't rile up a crowd of people like me like I...there's a thing that...when we when I get on stage and sleepy Joe is over there doing his...sleepy Joe and laffin' Kamala the blac...they can't put together full sentences with the mastry of me of my that I...
uncanny
He doesn't need to prepare answers when he has a generic template for everything. "I'm the best at [blank]". He even changed it up a little this time with ". . . since [historical figure]".
Now accept that answer at face value and you, too, can be a standard Republican voter.
His ego says he is always the smart and most handsomest in the room.
Because he's delusional and they knew he would put his foot in his mouth and double down on his racism
Dumb bigot gonna do dumb bigoted things.
