"It is a MADE UP Biden Campaign story, put out in a dying Newspaper that I never heard of, and every Reporter knows it, including the large group that was there…." he concluded.

I never heard about it yet I know it's financial and circulation status. The double-think to digest that statement is, well… the force is strong with this one. In a bloated and diaper-wearing kind of way.

Archive.

Super weird how it's made up but I watched video of the event.

Better hope nothing gets made up at the debates, Donny.

[–] BubbleMonkey@slrpnk.net 6 points 5 months ago

Just wait until they realize they can claim anything they don’t want to deal with is a deepfake, and nobody will care, because by the time that’s proven to be factually incorrect the whole media cycle will have moved on.

The man who recently was revealed in a New York courtroom as having paid for fake news to be fabricated and distributed is accusing others of fake news yet again.

I wonder how much PFAS is in the orange goo makeup.

Trump is a forever chemical.

Just wish it would work it's magic faster

I hadn't heard about that one yet, Donnie Streisand. Good job.

I'm not sure that this was a McConnell-level event. The only place I could find a video with context is here, unfortunately: https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/112471185118697786

It happens only 49 seconds in, so you should be able to stand listening to him from the start of the video. It seems to me like he paused for the background music in his speech (yes, you read that right) and thought it looked dramatic. It didn't.

[–] kromem@lemmy.world 19 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (2 children)

Are there examples where he does this same thing in other speeches as he says?

Because it does look super weird at first.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago

Yes. Go look up his return to the white house from walter reed when he had covid. Fucking psycho.

[–] baldingpudenda@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

I can't find it, but there was a speech that started playing music in the background and he started. Trying to. Time it. With the music.

At first I thought someone had hit him with that delayed speech thing that makes it impossible to talk, but he was definitely trying to go with the beat.

[–] HopeOfTheGunblade@kbin.social 8 points 5 months ago

Usually he doesn't pause during that spiel, so I don't buy it being intentional. It's normally FEAR FEAR FEAR patter the whole time.

I really, really hate that he's still enough of a force in our politics that I feel the need to keep aware of him enough to know this.

Oof, can we get a link that's not from Truth Social? This is the first link I've ever seen from there, and it really should be the last.

[–] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

The Late Show with Colbert played it. Try YT

[–] Lenny@lemmy.zip 4 points 6 months ago

Definitely paused for dramatic effect. So cringe lol

[–] Dkarma@lemmy.world 14 points 5 months ago

Sundown, ya better take care when they find you sleeping in defendants chair.

It wasn't a weird awkward long pause, he was praying. - fox news

[–] thr0w4w4y2@sh.itjust.works 14 points 5 months ago (1 children)

i thought he was doing a poo

[–] halferect@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

That actually makes sense
