Mega-Thread: Trump Focused Discussion

[Breccia]

So Trump had a lot to say about the half-time show...

I have to say, when he adds the Stock Market and "new Kickoff rule" it sounds like he's not even really angry, just saying things to say things. Like, I know nobody else cares because the cultists are too far gone, the classic conservatives are afraid to speak out, and reasonable people know he's senile and retarded, but...I don't think even Trump cares. This feels like a form letter from the landlord saying they know the laundry machines don't work and they'll get around to fixing them eventually, when you know they don't want to pay for basic services but want to keep getting rent.

He wasn't even calling on his own base for support. How do I know? Circle the part where he talked about Kid Rock. Not just this post. Anywhere. All Dumber Long...no, that's not good enough...American Dumb Ass pumped the hell out of this show and got six million hits. Bad Bunny 20x on top of him. That's like an NFL game that ends 60 to 3.

Incidentally, I think he was counting on more hits on Twitter. He counted wrong.

Due to licensing restrictions, we are unable to stream The All-American Halftime Show on X. Head on over to our YouTube channel tonight around 8 PM ET to watch the full show.

I also love that Trump said

Nobody understands a word this guy is saying

and my first thought was "Are you talking about Bawitdaba? Because at least Bad Bunny was speaking one of the world's most commonly-spoken languages when he spoke Spanish. Kid Rock was just mixing syllables like they were cocaine and marijauna on a tour bus."

according to whom

I assume they're talking about this:

CNN:

• Epstein files: Ghislaine Maxwell, jailed for 20 years for conspiring with Jeffrey Epstein to abuse minors, sent a message to Donald Trump today that if the president were to grant her clemency, she would clear his name of any wrongdoing as it pertains to Epstein. Separately, members of Congress can review unredacted versions of the Epstein files at the Department of Justice today.

Hang on. So Maxwell can "clear Trumps name of any wrongdoing as it pertains to Epstein" and at the same time Congress can just verify she is lying through her teeth? I am sure that will end well for those involved /s

I also don’t even think Maxwell saying “trump wasn’t involved” actually carries any legal weight in absolving him, especially if there’s evidence to the contrary.

Also also, “convicted child trafficker Maxwell released full and clear by Trump after saying Trump wasn’t involved” isn’t exactly a “see? Trump didn’t do anything, everyone go about your day.” Because if Trump actually didn’t do anything… why would she be “rewarded” for saying he didn’t? Shouldn’t the “wheels have justice” still have convicted her and retained her in prison regardless of Trump’s “innocence?”

I'm more concerned with her supposedly saying she'll clear his name, if he lets her out.

[Breccia]

Yeah, I don't think Maxwell will risk perjury for this. She can try "I never saw him actually put his penis into a small child" but for her to go through thousand of mentions of Trump's name in the Epstein Files and say "that was fake, I have proof but can't show you any" will not work.

All it does is prove she is an asset of Trump.

Anything short of him having lawyers review the entire files and come up with an airtight story for her to claim about him won't really work in the public eye. This probably isn't even possible, and since Trump has a history of hiring incompetent lawyers they will probably screw it up "bigly" if they even attempt it.

Let's humor that they even pull off an airtight story- then it's on the record that Trump let a convicted child sex trafficker out of jail. Even worth it for the sake of his image?

I mean he's let several convicted drug kingpins out because they either paid him or kissed his ass. I don't think he really cares about his public image. He'll just claim she said he's squeaky clean. It's just a coincidence she was released right after. And his cult will buy it.

Trump didn’t run on convicting a specific drug lord who he then later let go for a personal payout.

But you can bet he was all over “lock them up” on the Epstein files.

Not that his followers ever cared about consistency, but like I said the Epstein files are a cornerstone of their grand, worldwide conspiracy because they’re so certain all the evil dems are in on it. Maxwell is a key component of all that. It’s not so much that they’d be incensed by her suspiciously saying Trump wasn’t involved (they lack the critical thinking or capacity to care about that sudden change of heart from her) and moreso that she’s then let go Scott-free.

[Tech614]

And his cult will buy it.

Nobody cares about what his cult is buying. They make up a small % of actual Trump voters.

[btlcryct]

Well, overall the public doesn't care if his cult buys it or not. But for Trump, they're the only ones he cares about. They're the ones pushing the Trump 2028 BS and buying his crappy merch. And most importantly, stroking his ego. And that's the biggest thing to him.

The original claim by Cthulu was that massie had the full unredacted files on his desk in the form of a thumb drive and could theoretically just leak them at any time if he got bored waiting on DOJ.

This is a separate story from that that iirc came out after Cthulus post by coincidence where house members can view files unredacted without recording in a controlled chamber.

Right, but I was only replying to part of their later post where they said:

Seems the Xeet got deleted, but Massie is viewing the unredacted files through official sources today.

The CNN article I linked does seem to support that part, but the thumb drive part does seem to be bogus.

I think they're unrelated and the twitter thing was leftist wish fulfillment misinfo while the actual CNN thing was just completely different. I didn't see any mention of the CNN bit until after the original bogus claim. They're unrelated stories that happened to be at the same time. That's my point.

"doesn't represent our standards of Success, Creativity, or Excellence"

I'd say a kid from Puerto Rico making it the Super Bowl halftime show and being able to spend $50m(?) on it shows all 3 of those things. Orange dude is just jealous he doesn't have that kinda pull. Also pretty sure plenty of folks watching speak Spanish lol

Shouldn't he have been watching the Turning Point show, anyway? tfw they couldn't even get Trump to watch.

Nope, they couldn't even get Trump to watch Klanchella, staring Hillbilly Vanilli.

Hey now

Milli Vanilli may have been lip-syncing frauds but at least they could dance and do choreography.

I made this comparison last night, actually - though forgetting which sister it was because it occupies very little of my mind. I do think that's a much better comparison.

[Xath]

Yeah, from what I read, it was unapologetically Spanish. Was wondering if they did something to actively mock MAGA or did they just pretend that MAGA didn’t even exist was the thing that set them off.

They dared to celebrate Latin American culture pretty much waved a big red cape in front of the bigots.

I don't understand. Are you saying my statement is incorrect or is this just semantics?

Numbers from the show;

TPUSA numbers,

Not even trump watched it, and yeah, "Kid" Rock lipsynched, he really should have got in the pit and tried to love someone.
Meanwhile, the NBC broadcast is poised to reel in at least 20 times as many eyeballs. Every Super Bowl since 2008 has exceeded 100 million viewers, and viewership typically peaks during the halftime show window.

Official viewership numbers for Bad Bunny's Super Bowl 60 halftime show will be revealed on Monday.
And to refute dumbass donnie even more as once again he attempts to gaslight the world, Bad Bunny finished his set with God Bless America under a screen of Love is Stronger than Hate. Doesn't sound anti-American to me.

Unfortunately that message is very anti republican

Apparently Green Day changed their lyrics to be less controversial. I find it pretty strange, they have pretty left, anti-authority and anti-facist for decades. I doubt they would have taken a pay off either.
I continue to be amazed by the type and amount of people who have and continue to bow to emperor doofus. History will have a long list of names indeed.

No they didn't they played a medley and never got to the verses they have changed which was likely very deliberate by the nfl those verses also contain multiple swear words as well.

ok but please remember

these are the same people who were furious to find out, recently, that rage against the machine is left wing

understanding the media they consume is not exactly their forte or strong point, even when it's in english

You've got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land—the common clay of the new West. You know... morons.
