Never tire of winning

128 comments

Other than after 9/11 when we were lied to about the war, Republicans haven't won the popular vote in my lifetime.
- They've also never won with anyone who isn't Trump in 20 years.

Highest unemployment during his term since the great depression
- He was president during covid so no shit.
  
  The tone-deafness of this reply is pretty ridiculous considering how badly he fucked up. He disbanded the team who was supposed to respond to this disaster, denied it was a big deal, told people not to vaccinate when he got the shot, and politicized a public health issue unnecessarily.
  It is estimated hundred of thousands of less deaths would have happened if Trump had just done his job and not spent his time grandstanding and demonizing public health officials. To put that in perspective, that is more US deaths than every single conflict since WWII combined.
  So yeah, when you are purposely killing hundreds of thousands of Americans while hand waving it away like it is no big deal you get to own that. The reason unemployment was so bad was because of Trump not COVID.
  To top it off, the Biden administration turned it all around and showed us how much of a dysfunctional shit show the previous administration was. To this day places that drank the Trump Kool aid still have higher deaths rates.

Just hope he makes a repeat performance on that last point
- Unfortunately losing the popular vote doesn't mean he loses the election. Here's to hoping he loses both.
- He is 100% guaranteed to lose the popular vote by millions. Unfortunately, that doesn't determine whether he wins the election.

He may very well qualify as the person hated by the most people worldwide in his lifetime.
- Hitler
  
  World population in 1945 - 2.3 billion
  World population in 2024 - 8.2 billion
  I'm talking numbers, not percentages (although Trump might still have Hitler beat there as well, thanks to the internet).

Any other incumbent president had lost the election?
- Jimmy Carter and George H.W. Bush, off the top of my head.
  
  Poor Jimmy, great guy
- Most recently, other than Trump, George HW Bush lost the election while incumbent. Prior to that it was Jimmy Carter.
  The next most recent person to win the election but lose the popular vote was George W Bush, prior to that is was Harrison back in 1888.

Don't forget the smallest inaugural crowds!

He's the oldest living Republican former president.
- Only by like a month, but still counts!
  
  He's the second oldest overall, only Jimmy Carter beats him in age.

I just don't get this. Does the fact that Biden pulled off 4 months before election mean he was never a candidate? 🤔 With that logic, if Trump quits now he is again forgiven as the oldest one? So, whole this news would be bullshit?
- Nope, Trump is his parties verified candidate which happens at the convention. Dems have not had their convention yet so Biden was not officially the candidate. Semantics, yes but technically true.
  
  That's why reporters would say " presumptive nominee"
  
  Plus I can't recall if I've ever seen one of these parties entertain competition against an incumbent (or former president). In such cases, the party nomination is kinda/sorta a formality. This is why we have heard of zero alternative candidates from either the RNC or DNC.
  
  The best kind of true.
  
  Thanks 4 the info, now I get it 😆 American poliitics r beautiful 🤯
- Trump was officially nominated by the RNC as their candidate. Biden hadn't been nominated by the DNC yet, that was supposed to happen at the conference in a couple weeks. But now that he has pulled out, he will not be nominated and thus not be the official candidate.
- Does the fact that Biden pulled off 4 months before election mean he was never a candidate?
  Correct. If I won Beauty Queen last year and stated my intention to run again this year, but then withdrew before I officially entered, you can't say I won. You also can't say I lost, I never actually entered.
  The difference is the RNC already had their convention. Trump is their official Nominee, no matter what else happens...

Just Trump again giving unwelcome kisses to his stage partner, but when women accuse him of the same thing conservatives don't believe it. He's showing you who he is.

He sure grabbed that flag by the pole.

Impeached TWICE? HOW?!
- Impeachment is not the same as being removed from office. It is the first step to the process however. Impeachment is the bringing of charges against an official in office. Once charges are brought, a trial must be held on the Senate with the Chief Supreme Court Justice presiding. If the trial ends in a conviction, the result is removal from office. However, the Chief Justice for nearly the past 20 years is a staunchly conservative man appointed by the 2nd bush administration in 2005.
  Impeachment was never really a threat to Trump while in office. Just a way for Congress to tell the president that they know the bad shit he's doing and they don't like it. As long as the supreme court remains absolutely stacked with conservative appointees, there will never be a removal of office of a favored Republican president.
- Are you very young, or not American?
  
  Last one

Russian pee pee tape boy

Political and depressing comment ahead, skip if you are just here for the laughs

pretty sure other people have been convicted of crimes before. he is fantastically old though. maybe he got sent to juvie back in his childhood hometown of Bedrock and was the first convicted criminal!
- pretty sure other people have been convicted of crimes before.
  name one.
  
  Technically, President Grant got pulled over, and taken into custody, in 1872 for "speeding on a horse within the city limits of Washington DC." It was the third such ticket he was given in his life, the first two being in the early part of the 1860s when he was just a General. The cop tried to let him go, and Grant cited section 1983 of the federal code that had been passed a few months previously in 1871 that stated unequivocally that no one is above the law, not even a sitting president.
  
  Al Capone
  
  There was a socialist candidate for president Eugene V. Debs, running from a prison cell in 1920
- They shoulda specified felonies.
  
  pretty sure my uncle got put away for felonies ages ago.

Hold my beer.
Jajajajaja "laughs in Argentina Cristina Ladrona de Kirschner"

The leftists should just stop pretending, write a Bible, and start worshipping whoever tells them they are special
- On a scale of 1-10, with 1 being Inconsequential and 10 being Paramount, how important is hierarchy to the healthy functioning of a group?

OLDEST candidate, rofl!
Age doesn't matter. Mental cognition does.
Convicted criminal
Yeah, by the deep state using the rigged courts.
Worst deficit
Yeah, maybe. But he freed up the economy by approving a record number of drilling contracts, and basically telling the world "America is open for business." Had this modus operandi continued, we could have even prospered our way out of the negative consequences of the spending.
Twice impeached
Again, by the deep state using the radicals in congress. Crazy people hate you? What an accolade that is.
Hated by most Americans
Let's see, Obama got 69M votes in 2008. Trump got 74M votes in 2020. Saying "most hated" really misses the point here.
Lost the popular vote
On paper...

Isn't biden older though?
Edit: holy damn. wasnt criticizing or trying to point out ANYONE's age, I really dgaf whos older or by how much in terms of election. I was just asking a simple question
- Biden stepped down before getting the official nomination. Trump was nominated by his party last week. That makes Trump officially the oldest candidate nominated by a political party.
  
  You are confusing the term candidate and nominee.
  Both Biden and Trump were candidates. Trump is now the Republican nominee, Biden was the presumptive Democrat nominee.
  
  Jesus, I just realized there's only 4 years between them. They should both be retired, not running for second terms as president.
- How was your 48-hour nap?
- He's not a candidate in this election, and Trump is older now than Biden was during the last election.
  
  For those who struggle with math, that means that Biden is less than 4 years older than trump. The people criticizing Biden's age and not trump's as well never actually gave a shit about Biden's age. Look forward to those same people making up bullshit reasons that Harris is less capable than trump. They know they're full of shit, but it's not about making sense, it's about trying to obfuscate what's pretty clear so that independents and undecideds give up, get frustrated, get confused, and/or get demotivated so that they either stay home or vote 3rd party. There are only two viable parties in this bullshit first past the post system; one of them wants Project 2025 and one of them doesn't. Look at bullet points for what that is and then get your ass to the polls. It's that simple. The only people trying to convince you that it's not that simple are the ones who don't want you to look at those bullet points because it's pretty obvious whether most people are for or against that playbook. It's damning.
  
  Still says ever, although op points out that he wasn’t officially nominated, but hell I’m a candidate for president if I say so because I have said i was and I meet the minimum requirements
- Yes but he backed out and it says oldest candidate.
  
  Ever
- this one does require a "small" amount of "critical thinking"

You can add a second term to his list of wins.
- Oooooh edgy, very normal and not cult like!
  
  "Cult like" would be thinking Americans are going to elect a Black woman as their next president.
- I'm sure this probably not the only premature problem you have
- I’m don, not Dementia Don.
