In reply to the discussion: TRUMP CAMPAIGN VIDEO JABS AT BIDEN'S GAFFES [View all]Gothmog
(145,086 posts)25. What about trump's gaffes??
Biden's so-called gaffes will not be an issue in the general election https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/meet-the-press/democrats-battle-each-other-trump-s-greatest-ally-time-n1042191#anchor-Whatabouthisgaffes
But if Bidens gaffes were substantial news, why wasnt there the same level of discussion on what President Trump said yesterday in Pennsylvania?
Trumps two and a half years in office definitely have changed the political and media world.
Shouldnt they also change how we cover gaffes and misstatements?
Thats a lot of people back there for a like an 11 oclock speech. Thats a lot of people. (Laughter.) Thats a lot. (In fact, the speech was after 2:00 pm ET.)
This Shell petrochemical plant in Beaver County, Pennsylvania I did very well here. We did very well. How many points did we win by? Does anybody know? I'll tell you. Isn't it, I think, 28 points?
That's a lot. (Trump won Beaver County by 19 points in 2016.)
I got sued on a thing called emoluments. Emoluments. You ever hear the word? Nobody ever heard of it before. They went back. Now, nobody looks at Obama getting $60 million for a book. (Obama signed his book deal in 2017, after leaving office.)

These alleged gaffes are eye-rolling examples of the absurdity of the press or the woke left

What is why? That Trump finds a basis for criticizing him? Have you taken a look at what is said

And they worry about Biden's verbal gaffes? The president is a category 5 disaster.

What a demeaning characterization of what women said who came forward about Sanders' campaign.
