Summary

After voting in Florida, Donald Trump refused to reveal his stance on a state ballot measure that would prevent restrictions on abortion until fetal viability, around 21 weeks. The measure would overturn Florida’s current six-week abortion ban if approved.

Trump, who appointed conservative justices instrumental in overturning Roe v. Wade, avoided directly answering reporters’ questions, snapping at one to “stop talking about it.”

His stance on abortion has been inconsistent, previously criticizing the six-week ban as too strict but also labeling Democrats as “radical” on the issue.

The Florida measure is one of several abortion-related ballot initiatives in nine states, potentially impacting millions of women’s access to abortion.

Aww, poor diddums. Does he have a full diaper or does he need a nap? Maybe both?

[–] missingno@fedia.io 16 points 2 hours ago

You can tell this is the one issue he has no real stance on. His handlers are telling him he has to pander, but he's comically bad at it.

This means that for everything else, if you ever wonder if he truly believes the shit that comes out of his mouth, he absolutely does. We know what he sounds like when he doesn't.

Looks like somebody’s having a bad day.

[–] Zombiepirate@lemmy.world 101 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

I hope every day of his life is the new worst one.

[–] FlowVoid@lemmy.world 10 points 3 hours ago

That sounds cruel!

If he's having a bad day, then personally I hope every day is the best day of the rest of his life.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 5 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I hope his every day is better than the next

Well then I have bad news about dementia and habitual stimulant abuse...

[–] anon_8675309@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago

Wait until later when he finds out he lost.

[–] EleventhHour@lemmy.world 97 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago) (1 children)

And I bet that shitty journalist did exactly what Trump told him to do

Oh, look, I’m right.

[–] stoly@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Sorry please explain. Do you mean he made her shut up?

[–] EleventhHour@lemmy.world 7 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

No. The journalist let Trump get away with not answer answering.

[–] stoly@lemmy.world 0 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Well you can’t be a combative journalist. If they refuse, what can you do?

[–] EleventhHour@lemmy.world 6 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago) (1 children)

It’s not “combat” to press a walking bag of shit to answer a question. If they refuse to answer, you just keep asking so they look like the massive piece of shit that they are for refusing.

That’s what a responsible journalist would do. But this shit journalist refused to do their job.

[–] stoly@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Sorry but that’s the fast track to being banned and never being allowed to ask a question again. Freedom of the Press doesn’t mean freedom of access to politicians.

[–] Jarix@lemmy.world 5 points 58 minutes ago (1 children)

Until the press dont need paycheques you arent wrong for saying this fact.

Heres 1 updoot

[–] stoly@lemmy.world 2 points 23 minutes ago* (last edited 23 minutes ago)

Thank you. It’s odd that people are stuck on this “yeah you should call them a liar to their face” thing.

[–] randon31415@lemmy.world 81 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Trump: "What do you advise I say on abortion?"

Trump advisor: "Just... just stop talking about abortion."

Trump, 10 minutes later to a journalist: "Stop talking about abortion!"

[–] catloaf@lemm.ee 8 points 1 hour ago

Completely unrealistic. Trump would never ask for advice.

[–] Sgt_choke_n_stroke@lemmy.world 8 points 2 hours ago

You can't feel bad for him. He did this to himself by listening to the sweatiest and grossest Republicans

[–] octopus_ink@lemmy.ml 50 points 4 hours ago

This is right there with being told we just have to get over school shootings.

Only the biggest piece of shit to run for president! Remember when mitt Romney seemed like the fucking devil? Those were the days.

[–] davidagain@lemmy.world 5 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago) (1 children)

Trump makes GW Bush look intelligent, aware of international issues and statesmanlike. I didn't used to think that that was possible

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

I agree. In reality they may not be terribly different knowledge wise but it makes a lot of difference when someone acts like a human vs acting confidently incorrect (lying) all day every day.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

Gee I wonder why
