Comment on Trump advisor LOSES HIS MIND when confronted by foreign journalist

  You’re making the mistake of thinking facts and good journalism are at all what Trump sycophants care about. To you and I it looks like the journalist did a good job and won the exchange, but all ‘they’ see is a white man yelling at an uppity immigrant about mocking violent crime in the US.

    Nobody cares what Trump sycophants think. They are already voting for Trump and nothing is going to change that.

    To a reasonable person who is unmotivated to vote (the REAL demographic that needs to be courted), this makes the Trump team look absolutely deranged.

      I mean, we’re talking about people that still, to this day despite all the evidence, are unsure about who they should vote for. If you’re trying to convince me that the undecideds are mental giants looking for the perfect rational argument to sway them one way or the other then you’re fighting an uphill battle.

    Is the person I am replying to a Trump sycophant? They weren’t writing as if they are.

      They’re writing understand how this can look. Doesn’t make them a sycophant.

        They didn’t say how it CAN look, they said:

        I don’t know what you guys are seeing, but it is quite clear that Trump’s guy won this exchange.

        What it looks like solely to Trump supporters was an addition of yours that they did not even imply.

      It’s because you’re not reading the entire thing and stopped paying attention when they used the word “won.” Go back and reread the entire paragraph.

        Okay, here is the entire paragraph. Please point out what I am missing:

        I don’t know what you guys are seeing, but it is quite clear that Trump’s guy won this exchange. It was probably the best result he could expect. And that is before the interview became viral and millions upon millions got to hear his whole speech delivered. The journalist is well intentioned, but the result is catastrophic.

    How am I giving anyone headlines? Do you think journalists read what I write?

      Journalists will do whatever gets engagement to show numbers to advertisers and this kind of crap gets engagement as seen here. Whenever you engage with this type of content you are giving these people a platform to spout nonsense and lies.

    Why do I always need to explain to people that Trump needs a lot more than just the MAGA faithful to win? It doesn’t matter what the loyalists think.

        I really don’t think this message is going through. Yesterday, it had all of 1.2k views. I doubt it’s into the millions by now.
