Trump claims audience 'went crazy' for him at his debate with Harris - but there was no audience

[malaise]

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-audience-harris-debate-gutfeld-b2615455.html

Donald Trump has been roasted for claiming that the audience at the presidential debate with Kamala Harris “went crazy” for him – despite the fact that there was no live audience present.

The former president often claims his crowd sizes are huge – even wildly claiming he drew in a bigger crowd than Martin Luther King Jr during the March on Washington – but this time, he appeared to go even further by claiming there was one at all.

He is stark raving mad😂😂😂😂

1. You have to think like TSF malaise

He is talking about "the audience" in his head.

[malaise]

3. Imagine how M$Greedia would cover this if that was said by

Joe Biden.
How is this criminal lunatic running for any office?

[malthaussen]

75. I keep hearing that his followers see themselves in him...

... so I guess we conclude that around 40% of US citizens are criminal lunatics.

-- Mal

[malaise]

76. A serious reality jolt is coming

The CONvicted felon, Smelvis the Slobfather is going to suffer from an ignominious defeat

[malthaussen]

78. Really, the last one should have been enough.

The guy lost by 7 million votes. Only the Electoral College made it somewhat close.

At the same time, though, he got more votes than any other candidate for President in history -- except for the guy he was running against. So we've got a lot of lunatics in this country.

-- Mal

[malaise]

82. This will be one to remember

😀

[House of Roberts]

108. His brag is that he got more votes than any SITTING president in history,

which is technically correct, and he imagines that he didn't lose the election.

[newdeal2]

8. His favorite movie is Sunset Blvd

Great movie but it’s pretty telling.

[ArkansasDemocrat1]

58. He's ready for his close-up, that's for sure

The one role I really liked William Holden in.

[LauraInLA]

69. Did he really say that?!

[newdeal2]

73. Yeah it came out a few years ago

https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/donald-trump-running-for-president-2024.html

He had wanted to be in the movie business. It’s important to never forget this about him. He watches Sunset Boulevard, “one of the greatest of all time,” again and again and again. A silent-picture star sidelined by the talkies, driven to madness, in denial over her faded celebrity. When he was a businessman, he showed it to guests aboard his 727. When he was president, he held screenings of it for White House staff at Camp David.

[LauraInLA]

74. Wow, that is so incredibly on-the-nose.

[2naSalit]

25. Yeah...

With that crowd of voices in there can seem like quite the mob.

[ArkansasDemocrat1]

59. Hillary, Taylor, Joe and Pelosi yelling back and forth at their rent free apartments inside

[2naSalit]

60. And about...

Fourteen other people as well!

[Lonestarblue]

44. Most of his cult probably didn't watch the debate so they won't know he is lying.

[YodaMom2]

45. Even if they *did* watch the debate,

they’ll believe him over the evidence of their own eyes and ears. If their Tangerine Overlord says it, it must be true.

[Dulcinea]

2. The world is his audience.

The only reason other people exist is to pay attention to him, as far as he's concerned.

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

61. That and do any dirty work or commit crimes for him.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

4. tRump is out of his mind for sure.

According to this article, https://naacp.org/find-resources/history-explained/1963-march-washington

On August 28, 1963, more than a quarter million people participated in the historic March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, gathering near the Lincoln Memorial.

More than 3,000 members of the press covered this historic march, where Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered the exalted "I Have a Dream" speech.

NO way has tRump attracted 250,000 people at any given event, not even his inauguration. We all know that on Jan.20, 2009, Barack Obama's crowd was far larger than tRump's despite LIES told by Sean Spicer as then Press Secretary.

[malaise]

13. Indeed he sure has an obsession with crowd size

even when there is no crowd

[barbtries]

36. well, he did in a way

and I was there: the Women's March.

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/01/22/us/politics/womens-march-trump-crowd-estimates.html

470,000 in DC alone, and millions of others all over the world IIRC.

this is from google:

An estimated 3,300,000 – 4,600,000 people participated in the United States and up to 5 million did worldwide. Packed cars, buses, airplanes, and trains commuted protesters to the march. The large crowds enabled Washington's Metro to break 1,000,000 passengers for only the second time in its history.

I'm thinking I'd like to return for a triumphant Womens March in Jan 2025.

[et tu]

50. his brain has a booboo

[NCDem47]

5. He's going in overdrive to reframe his debate performance

Which of course means he KNOWS he lost big time and it's eating him alive. He'll want to talk about this specifically forever.

[malaise]

14. But this lie makes no sense

Everyone knows the debate had no audience😂

[NCDem47]

16. Nothing makes sense with Trump!

All fabrication, all the time. If he has to make up something, he does so because it fits HIS narrative.

Bonkers!

[KS Toronado]

18. But in his yuge genius brain he sees the viewers at home

with his Superman X-ray vision as his audience, shame he didn't hear them cheering for
Kamala.

[malaise]

33. Bwaaaaah

😂😂😂

[barbtries]

38. i'm sure there are more than a couple

die hard cultists who did not watch the debate, do not pay attention to any credible news source, and believe every syllable uttered by their gawd TCFSF. I'd simply say fuck those willfully ignorant bigoted, misogynistic racists, but sadly, they use all 2 of their brain cells to vote.

[bucolic_frolic]

6. People have been ordered to take psychiatric evaluation, medicated, institutionalized for less.

Definition of delusion is to see things that are not there.

[tanyev]

7. The voices in his head never stop cheering for him.

[BootinUp]

9. who does he think he is? lol

[Emile]

10. Trump needs a Cognitive Screening and Assessment test.

[speak easy]

46. Trump needs padded room.

[Emile]

47. They still give lobotomies?

[speak easy]

48. Um ... no.

[TheKentuckian]

79. We can only hope Nurse Ratched has something else in her bag of tricks to help then.

A lobotomy wouldn't work anyway, Don-Old john (figuratively) Chump is already functioning on pure brain stem anyway.

[gab13by13]

11. Someone needs to back in the archives here

and find the cartoon someone posted where TSF is laying on a couch and the psychiatrist says, "are the big crowds in this room now?

[ailsagirl]

94. You can find it here (along with some others)

[IronLionZion]

17. Somebody went crazy

and the audience was in his own mind

[surfered]

19. More shameless lying......GOP now means Grand Old Prevaricators

[malaise]

67. This is way beyond lying

The entire effin planet knows that . This is madness- there were no supporters at the debate

[Butterflylady]

20. Just like waving before he boards his plane.....

And there is no crowd to be seen.

[bigtree]

21. he had a concept of an audience

...

[mn9driver]

22. He is nuts, of course.

But his base prefers obvious and ridiculous lies to the truth. Subtle lies don’t do it for them; they like the crazy, eye-bugging lies the best.

They know he is lying. For them, his lies are a form of dominance and aggressive posturing. They are the mob he created and he doesn’t dare disappoint them.

[The Third Doctor]

23. He's a pathological liar

[evolves]

24. Well, the "crazy"

part seems to be accurate....

[usonian]

26. The windmills in his mind.

Are spinning.

[rubbersole]

31. And the birds are all dead.

28. In Your Gut You Know He's Nuts

[NoMoreRepugs]

29. The SlobFather seems to fantasize about 'size' for a personal reason perhaps??

[ArkansasDemocrat1]

62. Something about a button mushroom and an expert observer

[brewens]

30. Hmmm... Ya know I thought Trump waving to nonexistent crowds was staged, but someone got video

showing what the real deal was. So, he really is seeing people that are not there.

[StarryNite]

32. The voices in his head are multiplying.

[wiggs]

34. He probably believes it. He's broken. nt

[Botany]

35. Trump is descending into even greater madness..

In Flint, MI on Tuesday he said he was going bring an auto industry to Michigan.
Ah, Donny there is already one there and in Flint too.

[Mr. Jinx]

37. Just a few months ago, Jow Biden was roasted for his age and perceived cognitive decline...

I know it has been said before, but it's worth repeating. We are truly in the Upside-Down.

[malaise]

71. Notice

My link is the British press
Barely a mention in the US

[Ohioboy]

39. His apologists will say he meant the television audience

How he heard them won't be considered.

[onenote]

105. yep

[Kid Berwyn]

40. Some day, soon...

...The New York Times will notice the guy is too crazy for even the MAGA crazies.

[BootinUp]

41. Smelvis thinks this is him

?si=10GF4X1uzx0SZP61

[TommieMommy]

42. He's totally bonkers the audience was in his delusional mind

[JohnSJ]

43. If President Biden had made such a claim, the media would be all over claiming cognitive impairment. The fact that they

just "laugh it off" when trump makes such an incoherent claim, only demonstrate what a low standard they hold trump to, and a high standard to VP Harris and Democrats.

[ArkansasDemocrat1]

63. President Harris needs to elevate the honest MSM

Do exclusive interviews, answer their serious journalistic questions at conferences. No more yelling, screaming horde. Cut off the oxygen to the complicit news networks. They get the wave, videotape copy and the handout.

[RobinA]

49. But, But, But

Harris doesn't talk about the fine points of policy!

[malaise]

72. Ding ding

52. TFG's dementia is getting worse

[pwb]

54. It is like he is talking to himself

whenever I hear his Satan voice. Never any real thought behind his words.

[leftyladyfrommo]

55. He has become a legend in his own mind. nt

[sinkingfeeling]

56. Well, TSF's crowds aren't AI, like he claims Harris' are, they're completely nonexistent.

[iluvtennis]

57. He's knows it's a lie, but if he feeds to lie to his MAGAts over and over and over again, they believe it. n/t

[Owens]

64. Will the Media demand he withdraw from the race?

It's clear he is living in an alternate reality. Time for the old guy to end his campaign!

[Evolve Dammit]

65. No they won't. It's insanity, but they won't even question

[Evolve Dammit]

66. Cuckoo for Cocopuffs; off his crumpet, BS cra. Nt

[bucolic_frolic]

68. J.D. the VP candidate has delusions as well

Is aroused by the couch, from what I've heard.

77. "Is that audience in the room with us right now, Mr. Trump?"

91. He's brain addled..Totally. No question.

He should step down, he's mentally incompetent.

92. Trump reminds me of this scene from 'Brazil'

Totally living in a fantasy of his own making, with his brain fried beyond repair.

93. Wow!

[PJMcK]

101. It's all the voices in Trump's head

There’s a cacophony of voices screaming inside his skull. Perhaps it’s why he doesn’t make sense.

Trump imagines there are huge crowds.

[maxsolomon]

102. his "truthful hyperbole" has no consequences.

he has always flat-out lied right in everyone's face, then doubled down.

he will never stop. he's pathological. he can't.

[Figarosmom]

103. Hes got a running narrative in his head

That's why he refers to himself in the third person so much.


(In his head)
So president trump just let kamalala have it and the crowd went crazy. He knew he was the greatest. Yada Yada yada

TSF jx daydreaming
