Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Regardless of context, he did say those words in that order.

I hate this orange piece of shit, but the context tells me he was talking about 2020.

2020 was rigged too. It just wasn't rigged enough.

Watch this video from the election truth alliance. A statistician explains and shows evidence that the 2020 and 2024 elections were both tampered with in favor of trump and why he didn't win the 2020 (it was due to mail in ballots being high that year due to covid)

This again? I think he meant Biden's election, but he got the sequence of words mixed up.

Yeah, people fixating on the rigging part and not on the trump can't even form a coherent sentence part is kinda weird.

He did indeed.

Hey folks, this fucker has committed so many obvious harms and constantly lies... this was clearly a misstatement. It causes fatigue when questionable shit like this is harped on especially when he flat out says even worse shit.

The territory to the immediate south of our border is now dominated entirely by criminal cartels that murder, rape, torture, and exercise total control. They have total control over a whole nation, posing a grave threat to our national security. The cartels are waging war in America and it’s time for America to wage war on the cartels, which we’re doing. 

That, he fucking said that out loud and on purpose.

if he doesn't like the position, well...he has 3 options

  1. resign
  2. eat a room temp seafood and die just like harding
  3. get shot by his maga because of some "god-given" premonitions

I've been saying that since Nov. 6. Without a doubt, something shady was going on.

[–] Lasherz12@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Seems more likely he's talking about 2020 here. If Elon had said it, I'd think otherwise, but it isn't really Trump's MO to be subtle. He's gotten away with not being subtle his whole life of failing upward.

[–] adarza@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

they said, 'Can you imagine? I'm [you're] not going to be president. And that's too bad.' And what happened is, they rigged the election, and I became president. So that was a good thing, that was a good thing, that was quite an achievement for both of us. So I'll be president during the World Cup.

absolutely referring to 2024 here. no doubt whatsoever.

they said, 'Can you imagine? I'm [you're] not going to be president [for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics]. And that's too bad.' And what happened is, they rigged the election [in 2020], and I became president [again in 2024]

Absolutely referring to 2020 here. No doubt whatsoever.

(To be clear, claims of 2020 fraud are bullshit... But so are claims of 2024 fraud)

Q-anon conspiracy for libs.

[–] Doctor_Satan@lemmy.world -3 points 1 day ago

I'll be honest... I don't care if he was talking about 2020 or 2024, or even if he was straight up admitting to rigging the election himself. Any nefariousness you want to read into that quote doesn't matter, because it's either not there, or he got away with it. Harping on the context is pointless, regardless of what he may or may not have meant by it.
