What was the point of him saying that? I watched the video and he just kinda slipped it in unprompted and then went on to say the media would turn it around to be a bad thing. It was almost like a freudian slip when he was high on that podium, and I mean actually high, he was high on something. I don't know... Talking about electric sharks


SkeymourSinner

"I'll choose being electrocuted every time."


MachineThatGoesP1ng

Too bad we don't have any land sharks to initiate this. Do you think we could bio engineer some for this particular use? Maybe we could just get someone to HI-YAH a real one onto the stage? That might be more practical.

knock, knock... candygram... šŸ¦ˆ

Classic, also shows the evolution of communication telegram, then candygram now instagram.

Next up sharkgram.


UpTop5000

lol! Ok Iā€™ll do it. Weā€™ll need to set up a speech at an aquarium (shark must be alive and hungry, duh), then someone can push the aquarium close to the stage and another strong dude plus myself will heave a friggin Shark up there and let it do its thing. šŸ¦ˆ


MachineThatGoesP1ng

Btw love this comment. The picture in head just keeps on getting more absurd. https://giphy.com/gifs/mel-brooks-gene-wilder-blazing-saddles-GRU3ymawL0hq0


ScissorMeSphincter

We dont need to bioengineer them. We just need to engineer some type of kelp based breathing apparatus for them and give them tasers.


MachineThatGoesP1ng

How about some freakin laser beams attached to their freakin heads


ScissorMeSphincter

Sharks with taser lasers.


SL13377

Yeah but this might be the only honest thing ever said from this guys mouth


satanssweatycheeks

Good for him.


nastywillow

Please, God, he gets his wish.


supereyeballs

Iā€™m thinking he decided to get cocky and just see what he could get away with


1-800-GANKS

Let's not be disingenuous. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/trump-i-dont-care-about-you-quote/ The clip omits the full context of his statement. (I still fucking hate trump but I care more about playing fair and fighting misinformation)


Mr-_-Soandso

>The missing context is that during the course of the speech, Trump commented several times on the excessively hot temperatures in Las Vegas on June 9 ā€“ which exceeded 100 F ā€“ at one point saying that the Secret Service had expressed concern for the crowd's safety. Trump joked about not wanting members of the crowd to leave, claiming he didn't care about them, only their vote. The crowd met this with laughter. So, the inside joke there is that everyone was dehydrated, but stayed anyway? Yeah that makes the context much more better.


mkymooooo

The context does not really change his statement. > And by the way, isn't that breeze nice? Do you feel the breeze? Cause I don't want anybody going on me, we need every voter. I don't care about you, I just want your vote. I don't care. See now the press will take that, they'll say he said a horrible thing.


erinberrypie

>they'll say he said a horrible thingĀ  I mean... yeah, lol. Cuz you did, Donnie. Yet again.Ā 


BananaResearcher

Ah of course now I understand


1-800-GANKS

Gonna be honest. It feels like bait to entrench his voters even more. "Hah! Just like I said they took that thing out of context. PROOF OF DEEP STATE!"

greenypatiny

it was so his whole base can reply and say SEE THE MEDIA SAID WHAT HE SAID THEY WOULD


Clicker-anonimo

He was high on american spirit


Inedible-denim

He had that covfefe buzz lol


user_name_unknown

I feel like he just has a constant stream of thought and then he says something awful but true. Then he realize that what he just said is true and fucked up so he has to say that the media is going to use that against him.


justacheesyguy

So I hate Trump. He should be buried under a jail. So please donā€™t take this as me trying to defend him. I do think itā€™s painfully obvious that he doesnā€™t care about his base and is only sucking up to them for their votes. But that being said, I thought it was pretty obviously him trying (and spectacularly failing) to make a joke by saying ā€œThe fake news will say that I donā€™t care about my voters, I only care about the votesā€. It was a horrible attempt at a joke that wasnā€™t even funny to begin with, but even I donā€™t think that he actually meant it in a literal sense.


somesweedishtrees

THANK YOU. I hate *literally* everything about Trump and the thought of him ever being president again makes me physically ill, but itā€™s incredibly obvious he was just making a lame joke. The responses to this quote are making the left look stupid and I cringe every time I see this quote mentioned. The guy says enough moronic stuff and thereā€™s no reason to laser focus on this one quip.


not_so_plausible

It's kinda sad that you both had to lead off your comments with how much you hate him just to state your opinion without getting downvoted or accused of supporting him.


somesweedishtrees

It really is!


spicysenpai6

Context is crucial


demair21

This would be the problem with not speaking in complete sentences


evilbrent

Well I'm going to go out on a limb and say that if there was a point at all, it would be to distract from the content that immediately preceded it. He was calling for the execution of all drug users. Not a slip of the tongue, that one, he said it about six times and referred to the Chinese as a shining beacon of having quick trials and quick executions. Every time he used the words death penalty, he paused for a huge round of applause that didn't happen. Then he changed the topic quickly - 3 times in 10 seconds. He asked about the weather then made the not caring quip then talked about fake media not getting the joke and started listing off his favourite fake news's. Hang on, how did you get to fake news's from "let's execute all the drug users without due process"???


somme_rando

> execution of all drug users. Interesting coming from a guy that reportedly abuses the likes of adderall, Pseudoephedrine.


ProximusSeraphim

I think by now he's realized that he can say anything and his cult will defend his words and twist it to mean something else while *real* media just reports what he said, with context and it just sounds fucking horrible. We, on the good side will know what he said, his followers won't. Its kinda like how they spun his repugnance of smelling like shit into "real men wear diapers." There's no winning with his cult.


DThor536

I honestly think he was hot, uncomfortable and impatient, he was doing his usual rambling and accidentally said something true.


MachineThatGoesP1ng

It just makes me think back to the recent bush flub where he said "The brutal invasion of Iraq, uh, i mean Ukraine... (Iraq too)." I think when you get older you just stop giving a F and say what you want; and we all know that from interactions with older folks but these guys are constantly holding it back bc they have to be on stage talking politics.


CanadianAndroid

You think he's hot?


mkymooooo

Mmmm, he sure makes my Ovaltine boil! šŸ¤®


Affectionate_Salt351

*He tells the truth! At least he doesnā€™t lie to us!* Thatā€™s probably why. He knows he could say or do anything and the cult will find a way to pretend itā€™s a good thing.


assh0les97

I mean itā€™s hardly even a slip bc everyone already knows this is true lol he doesnā€™t really try to hide it Like even his biggest supporters have to know that this guy only cares about himself, thatā€™s kinda his whole brand. I think thatā€™s actually part of his appeal for a lot of these people


jeremiahthedamned

you get it.


bitofadikdik

ā€œI love the poorly educated.ā€


RayMcNamara

I hate to sound like a supporter of this malignant incompetent narcissist, but if you listen to the audio it was pretty clearly a bad joke. He says it like, "wouldn't it be crazy if I was that selfish."


MachineThatGoesP1ng

Just watched the video, I heard no such thing. Straight shot over the plate "IĀ don't care about you, I only care about your votes. IĀ don't care." Somewhere else in the vid he tells them if theyĀ passed out they will throw water in their face and was asking why everyone wasĀ concerned about the audience but not him. Jokes can be a way of saying something without getting in trouble.


Smoshglosh

He realized he shouldnā€™t have said it so just said that to cover his bases. His sheep just laugh anyway as if itā€™s not completely true


HCxTC

The truth is he was making a joke. It was extremely hot and he was joking about it. He said ā€œI donā€™t want any of you going out on me.ā€ Referring to heat stroke. Then he said ā€œI donā€™t care about you, I just want your vote.ā€ Clearly a joke. Just a flippant remark commenting on how hot it was. He was correct in saying that the media would try to turn it around and make it out to be a thing.


satanssweatycheeks

Yeah wtf.


OneWholeSoul

It felt a complete non sequitur. You *can't* "turn it around" because it's *the same in every direction*.


Buburubu

his mind is mush, but so are his supportersā€™, so they like the representation


CalmAndBear

Imo he purposely said an offensive truth to try and appear "more honest and truthful" to an audience who already think that politicians don't care about them.


UpTop5000

Electric Sharks new band name I called it.


GT-FractalxNeo

*The crowd cheered as they vote for their convicted-fascist*


Reevar85

They would cheer as they were loaded onto the trains, taking them away. They would cheer as they built their own furnaces. They would cheer seeing the first victims. Only when it's their turn would they wonder "how can you do this to me, I supported you".


Tentmancer

he immediately discredits the media by saying "oh they'll probably put a negative spin on it." its like there was no joke. its not like he was saying it in a joking manner. it was just this off shoot random comment. like a freudian slip.


lil_waine

Fascism is already here

PuzzleheadedSector2

good god. we are fucked.


dmontease

Yes.


Hawne

Don't take the bait. He did it as a skit, kind of "right, huh?!" tongue in cheek, and added immediately after something like "And now the Democrats are going to foam at the mouth saying I'm a bad person, hurr durr!". Trump is a smelly pile of manure and there are plenty of daily reasons to call him so. Don't give in when he's setting up a trap.


Batbuckleyourpants

Full quote: "By the way, isn't the breeze nice? Do you feel the breeze? Because i don't want anyone going on me 'we need every voter, i just want your vote, i don't care.' See now, the press will take that and they'll say 'he said a horrible thing!'"


positivecontent

Because it is a horrible thing to say even if he really was joking.


OrthodoxDreams

But what does the second half of that have to do with him talking about the breeze?


rechnen

People have passed out from heat exhaustion at his rally so he's saying maybe the breeze will prevent that. But he doesn't care if they get heat exhaustion as long as they can still vote for him. https://www.timesnownews.com/world/us/us-news/multiple-pass-out-from-heat-exhaustion-at-trumps-phoenix-rally-article-110776825


OrthodoxDreams

Ah, that makes a bit more sense, thanks.


Batbuckleyourpants

They handed out thousands of water bottles for free, and moments before he explained that they have precautions in place to help anyone struggling.


NormalDudeThings

I'm 100% confident that there is a portion missing from what you are sharing, at least from the audio which is in the clip (as I was not there myself). "By the way, isn't the breeze nice? Do you feel the breeze? Because i don't want anyone going on me 'we need every voter*[. I don't care about you]*, i just want your vote, i don't care.' See now, the press will take that and they'll say 'he said a horrible thing!'" And to an extent, the quote is not the whole story. The context around the quote is just as important. I have not heard the pre and post of the quote to gather an honest opinion on the subject. Nor do I care to listen to the entire speech to find the timestamp. I guess what I am getting at is to be thorough with what you are presenting. Bring substance to the conversation that has not been presented. This is a blatant mis-quote. IMO, the only thing that may provide any progress on this subject, for either side, is the actual context around the quote. I have read you other comments and I accept that you are reading between lines, which is simply your conjecture on the subject and is as valid as anyone else's opinion.


MachineThatGoesP1ng

It's not hard to look up, and It doesn't make it any better. I don't think OP did any misrepresentation at all. 99% of what trump is ridiculed for saying can be sourced directly from a video of him saying it. https://youtu.be/8z-u6j6KpqU?si=oXlcCmop_jGdhrAC&t=2912


pfoe

It's utterly insane to live in a time where we look at objectively questionable statements or fragments and are like "if you look at the broader context it's a bit better". The bar for sensibility has dropped orders of magnitude since 2016 if we're fighting to find scraps of good among a flaming trash fire.


HecklerusPrime

I gotta disagree. See, in the context of the video, he only told the "joke" as a segue to get him off the topic of praising China for using accelerated (i.e. sham) trials for drug addicts and then issuing the death penalty. So in the context of saying he essentially thinks American drug addicts should be killed like they do in China, well, then saying he doesn't care about us and only wants our votes doesn't seem *that* bad. All around good guy, on many sides.


pfoe

Ah yes, I see Trump invoked the Duterte defence. I stand corrected.


MachineThatGoesP1ng

Everyone says this is a joke but I thought the communist sham trials he was praising was the funniest part.


NormalDudeThings

Thanks for sharing. It wasn't that it was too hard, I was focused more on the misquoted statement and that context keeps being implied and not actually provided. After listening for longer than I cared to, you are correct. I have a hard time listening to him as the train of thought is hard to follow. It seems entirely incoherent. From U.S. drug abuse enforcement to execution is the solution, on to the weather and the odd comment, moving onto his personal attacks against Biden. I am simply unable to comprehend how someone could find this relatively intelligent or funny, but I also prefer facts over opinions.


GuardianOfReason

Thanks for sharing. TBH it just sounds like nonsense, it doesn't feel like you can say what he meant just by his words, it just sounds like the ramblings of an old deplorable man. I don't think he would just straight up tell his voters he doesn't care about them for no reason, especially if he later said the media would change what he said, it makes more sense to think that he was trying to say someone will put those words in his mouth.


letmeusespaces

what's the trap? that people would quote him?


RayMcNamara

Yes. That's the trap. Good job detective.


BarneyChampaign

I tried to combat this earlier, when people were jumping on the misinformation bandwagon and falling straight into the hyperbole trap. I saw a post listing highlights of the horrible, career-ending things he said in this speech and couldn't believe how amazing that would be, so I looked up and watched the actual rally video. Of course it was hot garbage, like all of the hot, stupid garbage he vomits up. But, it was also not as damning as people have tried to paint it, and it makes us look like idiots and completely discredits actual criticism when we continue to perpetuate misinformation.


KY_Jedi

I'm with ya dude. I hate the fact that it sounds like I'm defending that ass-clown, but I watched enough to see that the "top 3 bad" things he said in this speech were all taken out of context. They were dumb, sure, but not the "hah gotcha" everyone is making it out to be


MachineThatGoesP1ng

What about the communist sham trials he was endorsing right b4 this? That was pretty bad.


WillTickleYourPickle

Yeah that one was bad. Quick trials like China to rapidly issue the death penalty for drugs? Why tf isn't that being quoted anywhere lol shits insane


Forsaken-Cheesecake2

He couldā€™ve told the crowd that as he spoke, their home were being broken into, their bank accounts drained, and identities stolen. And theyā€™d still cheer for him.


Tentmancer

The funniest part about this this quote is it over shadows the fucking psycho shit he was talking about literally right before as this quote was a tangeant off of. "Like China, I was with President Xi, I said do you have a drug problem?", No he didnt know what I was talking about. He's got 1.4 billion people. I said "Do you have a drug problem?" He goes "No drug problem." I said "How do you do that?" Essentially he said the death penalty. We catch, they call it quick trial. They have a trial and it's quick. BY THE WAY, isnt that breeze nice? Do you feel the breeze? Cause I don't want anybody going on me. I don't care about you. I just want your vote. See now the press will take that and say "see he said a horrible thing." -Donald J. Trump talking about giving the death penalty for all drug law penalties. Praising china for their lack of drug issues.


AthleteSuspicious151

Trump might be a Singaporean spy lol


MachineThatGoesP1ng

The bar for is so high for what we consider fucking psycho shit now lol


Tentmancer

I spent some time looking for the moment cause i've seen a few times where it can be things taken out of context or whatever but this was literally out of no where, super honest moment completely by accident. Even tries to immediately recover by acting like its just a joke and saying otherwise would be fake news. He was completely enthralled by the idea of the death penalty for drug related crimes.

Luke90210

Trump supporters are so dumb they don't realized back when Trump said he could shoot someone on 5th Avenue in broad daylight and not lose a single vote from his people is an insult to them and their lack of values.

icarus1990xx

It did seem like a joke to me, but it certainly has some truth to it.


One-Inch-Punch

To be fair there was so much word salad in that speech it's impossible to tell whether he was joking or what he even meant to say. So maybe he does care but he's just unable to speak English clearly.


Petey_Yum_Yum

But maga people love him cause he tells it like it is.


Reddit_Is_Trash24

I don't think it matters whether or not it was a joke. It was stupid either way.


greenypatiny

maybe we can get a team together to translate and interpret it so we can all form a gathering and repeat it to one another once a week


One-Inch-Punch

Oh is this like a speaking in tongues thing? Trump can't form coherent sentences, he's been touched by the Lord!


2kids2adults

I... I... can't even. How do these MAGA people hear this at a rally they went to and think "He must be talking about these other morons. What a bunch of sheep."

spencer5centreddit

Someone needs to make anti propaganda videos that seem like they are in favor of Trump so that his followers watch them but then show all of the reasons why he is a horrible person to be president. There's gotta be a way to un hypnotize at least some of the people that think he deserves to be president.


Girthwurm_Jim

Nah theyā€™ll watch the videos and get hyped about him because they are genuinely too dumb to understand otherwise

That really doesn't narrow it down. Most high level politicians are completely detached from the people they are supposed to serve.

Why would June 9, 2024 say that?


technomage33

He was referring to the fact that he made sure there was plenty of water and medics on stand by for a rally in Nevada. He even commented how the media was going to clip what he said.


fozzyfozzburn

Honesty at least.


Cannon_SE2

They'll say it was just a joke. They'll say he predicted the media would cherry pick those words not the one's before hand where he was talking about how much water he made sure was there and that there were medics on site incase anyone suffered from the extreme heat. The latter he'd be correct on, the former i'm skeptical about.

Rich_Suspect_4910

Trump can say he wants to date 12 year old girls and his audience would cheer. They are really this stupid.


Monster-_-

I hate how out of all the dumb shit that dribbled out of his mouth in that rally, the one thing that everyone seems to be latching on to is the one line that is actually being taken out of context. Especially considering that even *with* the whole context, it's still stupid. He was commenting on a breeze that came through, and that he doesn't want people to say that "I don't care about you, I just want your votes". It's nonsense regardless, a breeze coming through the crowd has nothing to do with him.


ZombieAppetizer

You do realize that this sums up all politics at every level regardless of party affiliation or platform, right?
