"Trump walked on stage, shit his pants, and swore at the audience. His polling subsequently went up 3 pts."

We really are that fucking stupid... It's absolutely insane

And using a bathroom when you have perfectly good pants is considered woke.

MTG claims Democrats beamed shit into Trump's pants with lasers.

Trump could spend three hours rambling to his crowd about how fat, stupid and gullible they all are and they would still vote for him. He couldn't make them dislike him no matter how hard he tried.

For, say, nine years.

“Our whole country will end up being like Detroit if she’s your president. You’re going to have a mess on your hands,” Trump said.

Michigan polling shows Harris and Trump still caught up in a very tight race.

😒

When he comes to big cities his crowd isn’t from the cities. That’s just where the venues are. The crowd comes from the surrounding suburbs and rural areas. People in rural and suburban Michigan are terrified of Detroit.

Trump hates veterans and seems to see them as suckers, losers, etc. And yet, I've seen a shocking number of "Veterans for Trump" signs.

Like there are veterans who believe that it's all the OTHER veterans that Trump thinks are losers. All the other veterans except them.

Superpac money is helping here, it's the only money that actually works for him because the rest is funneled right into his bank account.

It's terrifying really, it means moving forward the candidate has less and less power even after elected, the interests are now very well organized.

If it’s leaking down your pants and pooling in your shoes…

It’s not a fart.

Ever notice that odd noise when he walks?

If you're sliding into Two, and your pants are full of poo...

Some YouTube videos I saw pointed out a subtle sound that happens after he makes the Detroit comment that does indeed sound like a fart. Might not be. It's real subtle.

Well, there is a market in people who think their city has gone to hell all because of... those people. They'll eat this shit up.

Presumably he wants the rural votes in MI, who may also hate Detroit.

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Suburbs. Detroit has been a “donut” city, hollowed out by flight to the suburbs. It’s finally starting to come back but it’s surrounded by wealthy suburbs who hate Detroit

It almost feels like Harris is not running anymore. What are the Dems doing?
