If you want our police departments defunded, taxes to go up by $4 TRILLION, our borders opened, and the socialist Green New Deal enacted, vote for Joe Biden.

Big Pharma is taking ads against me because I am MASSIVELY lowering your drug prices, which is obviously not good for them. Medicare premiums will also be going down. I am the first President to take them on. Don’t fall for their false ads. Biden plan is for very big increases!

Desperation?

Which do you think is more likely? He walked out of the interview saying:

“Damn. I handled that poorly. How am I ever going to get my numbers up if I keep giving interviews like that?”

or

“Ha. I really got him with ‘Its in the manuels. You need to read more.’ I’ll have to use that again. My genius really came out. I should reward myself with some Big Max hamberders. I haven’t had an interview that good since the one I gave last year where I remembered those 7 or 8 words to show how hard that test was.”

I do have to object to the shaky-cam used for that interview. They were locked down in one position in an inside room, ffs. I will allow for an instance or two where they wanted to swish-zoom in on the charts, but for the talking heads? Just, no.

Has anybody seen these ads? Just how much is Big Pharma attacking Trump?

8. Eye movement is another thing to look for when spotting a liar. All people naturally move their eyes, unconsciously, one way or another when they are in conversation. If a person looks to their right (your left) they are often constructing lies. If they look to their left (your right) they’re truly drawing upon their memory in response.

(The above should be taken with a bag of salt as to being accurate - I thought of it when watching his responses and how he keeps looking up to the right before his next sentence lie.)

Makes me wonder what happens when remembering a lie they've already worked to construct? One eye goes one way and one the other?

He says the USA has a lot of tests so finds more cases, and then boasts about having a low death rate relating to the number of cases and says “you can’t” consider per capita death rates. He really is a moron.

I only watched that part of the interview. Trump holds up the colored graphs like a grammar school student whose mom collated the data and printed them out for him; he was then instructed -- USA good, everywhere else BAD.

A furry caterpillar understands data more thoroughly than Trump.

Look at a significant portion of his Tweets. TV ratings are one of the most important things to him, and you can't have TV ratings if you aren't on TV shows.

Someone mentioned earlier about wondering if Trump would follow through with his promised announcement of the GOP healthcare plan on Aug. 2. He didn't. CNN ran a hilarious montage of all the things we were going to hear about "in/within two weeks" from Trump...and never did. Maybe this belongs in the "Trump nickname" thread: Two Weeks Trump.

I think "Two Week Trump" would be better, because is also sets up the "Too Weak Trump" play on words.

Trump thinks that Microsoft should pay the government to buy Tiktok.

"Then today the president, endorsing a deal between an American company and ByteDance over TikTok, also said that he expects a chunk of the sale price to wind up in the accounts of the American government."

People are burying the most important part of that:

It’s probably easier to buy the whole thing than to buy 30% of it. ‘Cause I say how do you do 30%? Who’s going to get the name? The name is hot, the brand is hot. And who’s going to get the name? How do you do that if it’s owned by two different companies? So, my personal opinion was, you are probably better off buying the whole thing rather than buying 30% of it. I think buying 30% is complicated.

Trump apparently doesn't understand how buying stock in a corporation works. Lucky for us we finally elected a "businessman" president! :rolleyes:

Whether you call it Vote by Mail or Absentee Voting, in Florida the election system is Safe and Secure, Tried and True. Florida’s Voting system has been cleaned up (we defeated Democrats attempts at change), so in Florida I encourage all to request a Ballot & Vote by Mail! #MAGA
 
Re the Axios interview, Trump is armed with some overly simple picture graphics someone must have given him to make him happy.

Sad.

"See, on the map this duck has a smiley face so it means this state --whichever it is--is doing great. The best, just fantastic. And over here there's a frowny face, that's not so good. That place must be a Democrat governor. This right here is Idaho, the happy doggy means it's fine!"

"Sir, that's Tennessee, it's a hippopotamus, and the X's for eyes mean it's dead."
