In my defense, it was a sincere question. I wasn't really getting the joke and I read on FB how hilarious Trump is and like I said, I'm just a liberal fuddy duddy.Robert wrote: ↑Mon Oct 21, 2024 10:21 amOf course it was staged.

It is a photo op and like most photo ops, it was staged. The McDonalds was shut down for most of the day and the people who drove up through the drive-thru were preselected. So it’s not like it was happening to random people.
It’s fine. It’s the virtual memeified version of kissing babies.
I just thought it was quite funny to see him in an apron waving out of a McDonald's window. If you did not think it was funny, just move on. The thread name is "I" think it is funny. I also posted him in a section of monkey shots. I guess that was missed. Its okay. I think it is all funny.
I did like yours about RFKJ and the seed oil. That was quite funny.

Re: Elon Musk. Twitter. Babylon Bee.
Trump really really wishes he was still running against Biden doesn't he? Now he is the elderly senile old man doing ridiculous things like doubling down on his "Puerto Ricans are garbage" joke by circling aimlessly around an airport tarmac in a MAGA garbage truck dressed as a garbage man. Which is going to go down as one of the dumbest stunts in political history because these photos and videos are circulating like wildfire on Spanish language social media as proof that Trump thinks they are all garbage. It doesn't matter what point Trump was trying to make. Because the actual message getting heard on Hispanic social media is that Trump thinks they are garbage.

is more outrageous than a sitting President(1) calling all(100%) his opponents supporters (3. people, not a place) garbage?

Re: Elon Musk. Twitter. Babylon Bee.
It is an election. What you or I think means nothing. We aren't voters in swing states. What matters in terms of swinging votes is what kinds of narratives circulate among swing voters and undecided types. And what the current narrative in Hispanic social media is the following:R7ehr wrote: ↑Fri Nov 01, 2024 12:48 pmA comedian (1. not the candidate) calling Puerto Rico (2. a place) a floating garbage island (3. of who is a minority of the Democratic supporters), is more outrageous than a sitting President(1) calling all(100%) his opponents supporters (3. people, not a place) garbage?
1. For the past year Trump has doubled down on calling immigrants garbage, vermin, criminals, eaters of pets, etc. If you want examples of this narrative there are hundreds of them. I trust you can find them for yourselves. There are endless examples of Trump calling both immigrants garbage and Democrats garbage.
2. At Trump's big closing celebration in Madison Square Garden, one of his invited speakers calls Puerto Rico a floating island of garbage. Which, because of all of Trump's previous statements about Hispanic immigrants, Puerto Ricans immediately interpret as being about THEM PERSONALLY, and not some statement about litter on the beaches or some such. These comments go viral.
3. A day or two later, Trump rolls out in a MAGA garbage truck dressed like a garbage man and those images get picked up and paired with Trump's previous comments about immigrants and the Madison Square Garden quotes to re-circulate on Hispanic social media. And draws new attention to Trump's previous comments. Very much an own-goal for Trump. How many TikTok videos do you think have been made of Trump in a garbage truck with his words about Hispanics being garbage or Puerto being garbage overlaid on top?
As for Biden's comments? They aren't getting any traction and no one cares because everyone knows Biden stutters and has jumbled syntax and was really talking about the Trump "supporter's" comments [i.e. the comedian] not Trump "supporters" generally as is clear from the transcript. Punctuation makes a difference. One can't say the same about Trump because his endless litany of comments about immigrants have been relentless and unambiguous.
