Boom?
Do you care you're being constantly lied to Frannie by either Trump or those in his Administration?
Well, it doesn't bother me that you are very stupid and love nothing more than twist and misrepresent things to feed your TDS affliction, little teapot.
You want to accuse someone else of having TDS after having such a combative and emotionally unregulated response to the question "do you care that Trump and his people are lying to you"?
You didn't answer the question, lobbed multiple personal attacks and accused me of being the one to twist the truth?
The question hurt didn't it... A little too real? Triggered your TDS did it?
Quote:Can you post a longer segment of that Trump clip to show what protests he is talking about? In the service of truth? Or are you content to stand by the tendentious, dishonest etiting and juxtaposition for cheap and stupudly dishonest TDS brownie points?
Further insults aside, yes, of course I have the footage... It's part of what has guided my opinions on the matter in the first place.
The facts.
Trump was asked:
"Mr. President, do you have any message to adversaries as the Army kicks off 250 year birthday celebrations?"
And in reply, Trump couldn’t help himself. No one even mentioned the protests, but, true to form, he blurted it out anyway. The mere existence of dissent, especially the “No Kings” protest timed to coincide with his glorified military circus, was enough of a bruise to his ego that he felt compelled to weigh in.
So, unprompted, he starts ranting about a “big show of force”. No distinction between peaceful demonstrators and actual rioters, just one sweeping threat aimed at all protesters. That’s not just reckless, it’s unconstitutional.
The First Amendment doesn’t evaporate because Donald Trump is throwing a tantrum. But then, respecting the Constitution has never been his strong suit, especially when it gets in the way of his fantasies of power.
And then, realising he’d just made himself look weak, so transparently rattled by protests aimed squarely at him, he pivoted on the spot and lied through his teeth, claiming he hadn’t even heard about any protests.
The backpedal was pathetic. He’d already said the quiet part out loud, already revealed how deeply the idea of protests against him had burrowed under his skin. And now he wanted to pretend it didn’t bother him, as if anyone was buying the act.
Classic Trump, authoritarian impulse first, clumsy cover-up second.
You can see the full-length press conference and transcript here:

It was these exact words from Trump, that prompted the reporter to ask TACO Belle her question about protests during the parade that you posted as a limp and failed "boom".
So either TACO Belle, sorry, Karoline Leavitt was lying, or Trump was.
I'll ask you again:
Do you care you're being constantly lied to Frannie, by either Trump or those in his Administration?
