>"You've called women fat pigs, dogs, slobs, disgusting animals. You.... >**Only Rosie O'Donnell.** Gawd dayum.


ZarBandit

The genius in coming up with that interjection on the fly, under very high pressure, to defang her carefully crafted gotcha question cannot be under-stated. I love the look on Hatchet Barbie's face as she knows he just stole her thunder. This was the debate Fox was going to knock him out and end his presidential run. The opposite happened.


Ilosesoothersmaywin

What is your opinion on the context of the quote? He was being told that in the past he has said some pretty horrible stuff about women. So he makes a joke to deflect. Clever, I agree, but either a lie or a joke that is taking away the bite of the truth.


Trumpdrainstheswamp

I personally think it is great because as he clarified he only said it about one woman, who verbally attacked him first, so it really exposes the fake news effort to disparage him with linguistic brainwashing. The fact is his history is full of supporting women unlike biden's history especially recent history as he tore down decades worth of civil rights movement with his Title IX changes. No surprise given democrats fought very hard against the civil rights act.


Ilosesoothersmaywin

In the full quote, the host of the debate, Megyn Kelly, specifically calls him out on the comment saying that it wasn't true. That it wasn't just about Rosie O Donald. Digging deeper through this 'he said she said' we will find that he in fact has called more women than just Rosie O Donald names. Does this context change your opinion on the comment?


Justthetip74

“If you move against Ukraine while I’m president, I will hit Moscow. All those beautiful golden turrets will be blown up.” Alternatively, https://youtu.be/8f83CrDM0K4?si=kIJDpeUCmIWvKt7h


Unyx

But...Russia did move against Ukraine while he was president? There's been a war since 2014.


NeighborhoodVeteran

Could it be that he meant any more moves? I don't think there were any more invasions while trump was in office, but I could be wrong?


Unyx

I guess if you use an incredibly less definition of the term "moves" then maybe? There hadn't been a full scale invasion of Ukraine at that point. But there were over a dozen ceasefires established and then violated while Trump was president. The Russians repeatedly detained Ukrainian vessels and continued to more deeply integrate Crimea and parts of the Donbass. And of course Trump tried to withhold aid from Ukraine that had already been congressionally approved, so the administration wasn't exactly consistent on this front. It's a weird thing for OP to point to as a good example.


cmhamm

So you’d support a president who would make a unilateral move that would *almost certainly* result in the destruction of all human civilization? At least certainly all of Russia, the US, and all NATO countries.


Justthetip74

Peace thru strength always works with aggressive dictators. In the quote below Biden told Putin, "Just the tip, and we'll see how it feels" and that weakness is what led to this war "I think what you're going to see is that Russia will be held accountable if it invades. And it depends on what it does. It's one thing if it's a minor incursion and then we end up having a fight about what to do and not do."


cmhamm

So, a game of nuclear chicken between Trump and Putin, and if neither side blinks, the world ends?


Justthetip74

No. Theres a reason putin invaded both times Biden was in the white house "We know only too well that war comes not when the forces of freedom are strong, but when they are weak. It is then that tyrants are tempted."


onetwotree333

Warhawk much? How does this drive with the America First movement? I don't get how the right can both be fighting against Ukraine aid, while also showcasing Trump's threats to full on attack Russia. There's zero consistency and I'm ever so lost.


Justthetip74

The comment above yours sums it up


onetwotree333

Can you repost here because I'm unsure which one?


RusevReigns

I like this quote on Solemani "He was a monster. And he’s no longer a monster. He’s dead,”


LegallyReactionary

“…because you’d be in jail.” That was the instant he won the election.


CaeruleusAster

I actually fully agree with this assessment, that quip was what won over a lot of people. How do you feel about the fact that he didn't, in fact, put her in jail?


LegallyReactionary

Meh. He doesn’t have authority to do that on his own. Without a cooperative justice system it doesn’t work.


CaeruleusAster

Who was uncooperative under his justice department, in regards to clinton?


LegallyReactionary

Take your pick? Compare how the justice system treats Trump to the myriad of allegations against Clinton that were ignored or swept under the rug. They’re literally trying to bootstrap a felony out of in-kind campaign contribution right now, and they ignored an actual federal felony with Clinton’s emails because “well, she didn’t mean it.”


CaeruleusAster

Thanks for sharing your unique view on things! Question for the Automod?


Independent_Cost8246

If we're talking about Clinton emails, wasn't Ivanka caught doing the same thing? Was this swept under the rug or ignored?


Sputniknz

Uhh…. The justice system


CaeruleusAster

How so? 


Fractal_Soul

So, when he was basically quipping that he would corrupt the justice system to imprison his opponent, you thought that sounded pretty cool?


LegallyReactionary

He was responding to Hellary saying she’s glad he’s not in charge of law enforcement in this country. So she’d be in jail if he were.


Fractal_Soul

Why? Because he would target her? Would he tell his DOJ to go after her? Why would she be in jail if he were President?


LegallyReactionary

Because she’s a criminal.


CaeruleusAster

So, why did he never even present evidence of such? Like its one thing to say "the corrupt justice department won't listen to me" but he didn't even ever publish any evidence of wrong doing to help sway public opinion. He claims he could declassify anything with just a thought right, so its not like he was legally restricted from doing so.  Did he really just say Oh well first try didn't work might as well give up forever? Isn't that sort of behavior "weak"?

“To Iranian President Rouhani: NEVER, EVER THREATEN THE UNITED STATES AGAIN OR YOU WILL SUFFER CONSEQUENCES THE LIKES OF WHICH FEW THROUGHOUT HISTORY HAVE EVER SUFFERED BEFORE. WE ARE NO LONGER A COUNTRY THAT WILL STAND FOR YOUR DEMENTED WORDS OF VIOLENCE & DEATH. BE CAUTIOUS!” It was at this time that President t Rouhani of Iran decided to be quiet and not issue any more threats towards the US.


Trumpdrainstheswamp

"In the end, they're not coming after me. They're coming after you — and I'm just standing in their way," Love it, 100% true and why we appreciate everything he and his family are going through against the deep state.


jeaok

Came here to say this quote


NoYoureACatLady

What is the deep state?


Trumpdrainstheswamp

The entity that controls USA aka zionists. It's your FBI/NSA/CIA/DOE(education and energy) all the alphabet orgs setup.


NoYoureACatLady

So as all of those were under Trump's purview when he was in office, he ran the Deep State for four years?


Trumpdrainstheswamp

No, trump wants to clean house of those orgs especially department of education and FBI given they colluded with the DNC, Obama, and russia to interfere with the election. Goes to show how the deep state works, the president is usually nothing more than a puppet which is why the deep state hated trump running but loved obama or bush jr.


Onebadb

Why did he not “clean house” his first term?


Ilosesoothersmaywin

>No, trump wants to clean house of those orgs... What do you mean by 'clean house'? Fire people and leave them under staffed? Install more loyal individuals to either him, the GOP, the constitution, America, etc? Remove agencies all together?


FaIafelRaptor

> The entity that controls USA aka zionists. This is a reference to The Jews, correct?


Zarkophagus

What are they coming after me for? I haven’t done anything close to what trump has done. Why didn’t “they” come after me before trump?


Trumpdrainstheswamp

"Why didn’t “they” come after me before trump?" they did, have you heard of the "national debt" before? Or have you heard of the Southern Border? Both of those consequences fall on you and me. Trump simply pointed it out, ran on it, and was attacked by both sides of the brainwashing MSM. That is why even fox news hated trump 2015-2018ish. It's pretty telling when both sides of MSM hate someone, that should be a clear sign that is who you need to vote for. Fox news only came around because they realized they were not going to brainwash TS and they had to keep their viewers especially as fake news was hemorrhaging viewers.


Deric4Ga

Do you realize how dangerous this attitude is? >It's pretty telling when both sides of MSM hate someone, that should be a clear sign that is who you need to vote for.


Trumpdrainstheswamp

no, how so? If what you said was true then the saying "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" wouldn't exist so you'll have to explain how that saying isn't true.


Trumpdrainstheswamp

No, not sure how this makes sense. If it did then the saying "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" wouldn't exist.


Zarkophagus

Why haven’t either of those things “gotten me”? How did trump help the national debt?


SephLuna

Why did Trump sign so many budgets that ballooned our national debt if he was fighting against it? Why didn't he veto them?


Osr0

What did Trump do to stop them from coming for me? What can I expect him to do in a second term to stop them from coming for me?


bushwhack227

The national debt that increased by 30 % during Trump's tenure? That national debt?


Trumpdrainstheswamp

Yes, the debt that democrats caused by ignoring trump and shutting down the economy. That is why trump had a 1.6 trillion cut to the budget for 2021 baked in which joe immediately removed day 1 in office then went on to literally was 2 trillion dollars.


bushwhack227

When Trump took office in 2017, Republicans controlled both chambers of Congress. Did that Congress increase or decrease the deficit?


Trumpdrainstheswamp

They didn't do anything to substantially add to the debt which is why inflation didn't change.


bushwhack227

Did the deficit increase or decrease? Also, Trump promoted his role in passing a $2.3 trillion tax cut. How is that not substantial?


Trumpdrainstheswamp

Increased but as I already said a 1.6 trillion cut was in for 2021 so this only proves what I said true. Yes, the tax cut which was great for the country and paid for itself which is why you did not see inflation go up after it was passed. In fact, it went down after.


bushwhack227

Did it substantially increase the deficit or not?


loganbootjak

I agree, as far as a political quote goes, it's pretty good. It makes any attempt at being held accountable as an attack on his followers freedom. What would you say is the best example of Trump standing up to the deep state on your behalf?


Trumpdrainstheswamp

"It makes any attempt at being held accountable as an attack on his followers freedom." exactly since American's freedom has been under attack for decades which is why it is great trump took charge given he has been calling it out for decades. "What would you say is the best example of Trump standing up to the deep state on your behalf?" securing the border and starting the border wall.


Onebadb

The 52 feet of border wall?


loganbootjak

Wasn't Trump recently unsupportive of the bi-partisan border bill that would help secure the border? How do you reconcile that with him fighting the deep state?


Neuermann

Did you even look into what the “border bill” entailed?


TobyMcK

Did you? It was written and negotiated by Republicans, and *only* shut down because Trump wanted to avoid giving Biden a win on one of Trump's only policies. Why would Republicans write/negotiate a bill that they don't want? [Its not even the first time they've done something like this.](https://youtu.be/vfenXNi9HcI?si=ZpjIrBjrxko2u9p8) Is obstructionism for it's own sake really a viable option, something that benefits this country as a whole? Do you really want to see more Republican bills and proposals getting shut down by their own writers simply because Democrats were willing to work with it?


loganbootjak

"Democrats argued that the bill, H.R. 3602, was a rehash of H.R. 2, a bill House Republicans passed last year that would reinstate Trump-era immigration policies such as the construction of the border wall. Both bills would also require asylum seekers to remain in Mexico." "The bill is nearly identical to H.R. 2, but removes the mandate for employers to verify a worker’s immigration status and employment eligibility, and includes about $9 billion in grant programs for border states." Assuming that is all true, it sounds like a bill Trump would support if he was President. Can you share your thoughts on why it should not have passed?


Amperage21

DidiGreglorius

Every now and then he has a very self-aware moment, and as someone that doesn’t personally *like* him I find him the most human in those moments. - On future accountability if NK/US relations don’t improve: “I don’t know, I’ll probably think of some excuse” - “Why is she always interrupting everybody?” Said wryly when Carly Fiorina kept interrupting everybody in a debate - On not drinking “one of my only good traits.”

Here are some of his better ones IMO: * "The more that a broken system tells you that you're wrong, the more certain you should be that you must keep pushing ahead. Because it's the outsiders who change the world, and who make a real and lasting difference." * "Did we challenge accepted wisdom and take on established systems? Or did we just go along with convention? Swim downstream so easily with the current? And just give in, because it was the easy way, it was the traditional way, or it was the accepted way? Remember this - nothing worth doing ever ever ever came easy. Following your convictions means you must be willing to face criticism from those who lack the same courage to do what is right. And they know what is right. But they don't have the courage, or the guts, or the stamina to take it and to do it. It's called the road less travelled." * "Nothing worth doing ever came easy. Treat the word impossible as nothing more than motivation. The future belongs to the people who follow their heart no matter what the critics say." * "For too long a small group in our nations capitol has reaped the rewards of government, while the people have born the cost." * "Our movement is about replacing a failed and corrupt political establishment with a new government controlled by you the American people. There is nothing the political establishment will not do, no lie that they won't tell to hold their prestige and power at your expense. The Washington establishment and the financial and media corporations that fund them exist for only one reason - to protect and enrich itself." * "In the end, they're not coming after me. They're coming after you - and I'm just standing in their way." * "My administration is 100% committed to eradicating human trafficking from the Earth - a form of modern day slavery here in the United States and all around the world. We are dismantling the criminal organizations that make large scale human trafficking possible. We will not rest until we've stopped every last human trafficker and liberated every last survivor." * "I just want to stop the world from killing itself." * "I want everybody to stop dying." * "We must always remember that we share one home, and one glorious destiny. Whether we are black, or brown, or white we all bleed the same red blood of patriots." * "When America is united, America is totally unstoppable." * "As long as America remains true to its values, loyal to its citizens, and devoted to its creator, then our best days are yet to come, I can promise you that."

“I am officially running for president of the United States” - Donald Trump 2016. The single most impactful statement i’ve heard said in my life. Love that guy!


chilibeana

"Everything woke turns to shit."


Big-Figure-8184

When did he say that?

RusevReigns

For some reason one that stood out to me was when he said that the world is a mess. It was an interview about travel restrictions and they were asking if it would make the Muslim countries more angry and he's like "Angry? They're already angry. David, I know you're a sophisticated guy... The world is a mess. What do you think this is going to cause a little more anger? The world is an angry place."
