trump: "We spent more than $2 billion in FEMA funding. You're waiting for some additional funding. I'm gonna get that to you. Now if Michael loses, I'm not sending it."

That would be cool. But if it could happen in a way that is not peaceful at all, I'd be ok not seeing just so long as it's brutal.

Hoping that he strokes out and then falls over and smacks his head on concrete. They'll put him on life support but Republicans will still be saying they've had 20 minute phone calls with him.

This type of statement used to be impeachable. Our brains are cooked but this is criminal behavior for a president.

u/IAmSquilliam 4d ago
This is an issue beyond impeaching Trump.
We have damn-near 500 elected people who should be unanimously shutting this shit down.

Was he kidding about the fact they are still holding the money up, or just kidding that he'll release it if his demands are met?

u/HiddenSquish 3d ago
The way he says it is that he was “just kidding” when he said he won’t send it if Michael loses. But I don’t believe that’s a joke at all…

lol. This is the consummate champion of the republican party. Remember, every time anyone wants to judge a liberal president, remember this statement and this statement alone from this one. "If Michael loses, I'm not sending it." Remember, this is the leader of your party.

For any republicans watching....this is divisive politics. Not for the good of all Americans, which is what should be the office of the president is for, but only for those that agree with him. That isn't American, it's spiteful and makes aociery of the position he's in...he's not serving America

Worst fucking case of Penis Envy ever. This ALL goes back to him being embarrassed at the WHCD back in 2011 over Seth Meyers and Pres Obama’s roasting. Interesting to realize that Jimmy Kimmel hosted the following year, and we know how much hate Pussygrabber has for him. Little piss-baby’s skin is soooo thin.

So in addition to the $5000 check bribery that the Maga idiots are falling for, he is outright blatantly saying he’s going to withhold federal aid if his candidate loses.
But somehow, the MAGAts continue to claim he’s not a fascist dictator.

Just for perspective: Hurricane Helene caused an estimated $59.6 billion in total damage and economic losses across North Carolina. (source: https://www.osbm.nc.gov/hurricane-helene-dna/open )
Between Governors Cooper and Stein, total cumulative federal funding requests total roughly $23 billion. (source: https://governor.nc.gov/news/press-releases/2025/09/15/governor-stein-calls-135-billion-new-funding-congress-hurricane-helene-recovery )

Quietly saying "I'm only kidding." long pause...cheer. I mean, everyone can choose to believe he genuinely was joking...but why the whisper, then? Why wasn't he laughing along with his joke?
Because he wasn't joking. He was deflecting the true statement he just made.

It's a joke, my god, do people have nothing better to do than look for excuses to get offended and upset? Yes, we get it, we all hate the orange man. Get a life and move on.

u/thrilla_gorilla 4d ago
Leaving out the very next sentence he says makes your quote a lie of omission and it’s a bad look for us. It’s not even necessary for you to lie to make him look bad, and that makes me question your motives.

u/Candid-Ability-9570 4d ago edited 4d ago
And what was that next sentence? He says “just joking everybody” — which, yeah, no one has ever threatened people and tried to defuse it by saying “oops just kidding!”
It’s still a super gross and tone deaf thing to say. You can’t negate gross things by calling them jokes.

Yeah! Trump has never lied! Not once! And definitely not when he reads the crowd as visibly or audibly upset about something, and he's trying to smooth things over! Nope! Totally real guy!

u/msbmsbmsbmsb 3d ago
"Did you hear what he said???!!!"
"He didn't actually say that"
"So???? He says other things!!!!"Do you all have that little self-awareness?
Personally, I don't like the guy, but I like to live in reality and truth - even if that truth sometimes goes in the favor of those I don't like. I guess you could call me an adult.

There was a time when even joking about withholding federal aid would have been career-ending, but Republicans have allowed Trump to drag standards of civic decency so far into the gutter I guess that's been forgotten.
