Trump: Do you feel the breeze? I don't want anybody going on me. We need every voter. I don't care about you. I just want your vote. I don't care.

1. Wow, its like his lies went full circle on that one and sharted him into telling a truth

Such a weak, petty little person with a vast flapping ego balloon.

2. Lock this away in your memory,

this is the turning point in his presidential run. I guarantee there are right wingers hearing that and saying "fuck you jack, I'm worth more than that!"

At the very least, this commercial should be running 4 times every hour!

DNC, hello?....DNC, hello, are you out there?

15. Wrong. His fans eat this stuff up. They regard it as his schtick -- they don't take it seriously.

He's baiting the press, and his crowd loves it. Immediately after the quoted comment, he said that the press will criticize him for his comment. And since the crowd believes -- and he said it repeatedly during the speech -- that the media reporting on him are the "fake news" they aren't bothered at all by his comment.

3. "I don't want anybody going on me."

“Go on each other. I like to watch.”

6. I'd like to go on him from both ends

(well, all 3) for the next 5 months.

4. Thank you sir may we have another?

5. Study: Trump rallies may be responsible for an estimated 700 Covid-19 deaths

There is a pattern. TFG killed a good number of his supporters in 2020 with COVID

A study conducted by four Stanford University economic researchers determined that 18 Trump campaign rallies, the bulk of which took place over the past summer, “ultimately resulted in more than 30,000 incremental confirmed cases of COVID-19” and “likely led to more than 700 deaths.”

The study examined 18 counties that hosted Trump rallies in locations such as Tulsa, Oklahoma; Phoenix, Arizona; and Winston-Salem, North Carolina, held between June 20 and September 22. It then compared the rate of post-rally Covid-19 infections in the host counties to that of comparable counties that did not host a rally. Attendance at individual rallies varied, but Trump often draws thousands of supporters to these events.

“For the vast majority of county matching procedures we employ,” the authors wrote, “our estimate of the average treatment effect across the eighteen rallies implies that they increased subsequent confirmed cases of COVID-19 by more than 250 per 100,000 residents.” The researchers — B. Douglas Bernheim, an economics professor at Stanford, and Stanford grad students Nina Buchmann, Zach Freitas-Groff, and Sebastián Otero — extrapolated that figure to the entire sample, concluding that the rallies led to thousands of new infections and, likely, hundreds of deaths.

As the authors acknowledge, trying to identify exactly how many infections resulted from a Trump rally (or any other potential superspreader event) is not easy. Factors such as whether the rally is held indoor or outdoor, whether a large number of infected people attended, whether attendees wore masks, and “the distribution of infected individuals among rally attendees” can all lead to vastly different rates of infection.

Likewise, while the authors estimate Trump’s summer rallies led to more than 700 deaths, they note those deaths were “not necessarily among attendees.” For example, a rally-goer may become infected with a mild case, but that same rally-goer might give the virus to his wife, who gives it to a coworker, who gives it to their sister, who dies of Covid-19.

TFG does NOT care about the health of his supporters

7. We've waited all this time for his "Face in the Crowd" moment.

If it hasn't happened yet, it probably never will.

8. Part of his charm.

He insults his base. He calls them fools and suckers. He makes fun of them. And they love him all the harder. It shouldn't work but it does.

13. Exactly right.

It makes too much sense.

9. "I don't care about you. I just want your vote. I don't care."

When Dump tells you who he is, believe him.

[electric_blue68]

12. In some ways saying that -out loud- is shocking. But then again he's a socio or psychopath...So, yeah.

14. The part that always blows

my mind is, if you go to ANY Maga member today and tell them or show them the video they'll immediately tell you that this was taken out of context.

[Johnny2X2X]

16. In this case, they'd be right

He was very obviously joking.
