The 2024 US Presidential Election Discussion thread

[DrWilly]

And next he calls Kamala Harris Vice President Trump…

[DrWilly]

Mr Trump has shared a number of clips from the press conference on his Truth Social platform, poking fun at Mr Biden’s “Vice President Trump gaffe”.

“Great job, Joe!” the former President wrote.

He shared another clip where Mr Biden appeared to confuse his top military official with his own role, while answering a question about Ukraine.

“I’m following the advice of my commander-in-chief … my … my … my … chief of staff of the military as well as the Secretary of Defense,” Mr Biden said.

Biden stands firm on critical night - but gaffes mar fightback

90 second BBC "highlight of the gaffe"

Tragic and a digrace hi wife and family cloe advior don't make him do the honourable thing immediately.

He's as much an egotist as Trump, he doesn't have the interests of the American people at heart just his own

President Biden might be gaffe prone, but I think his administration has been extraordinarily successful. The US is now clearly the greatest and most important country on the planet by light years.

I think murdering the Catholics of Japan in Nagasaki achieved that 78 years ago

Biden contains too much information. So much so, that he often regurgitates it in the wrong order.
He has mobility issues, and he has a speech impediment.

He has managed to let his administration run the country during his brain farts, but that has put his administration in trouble. He still believes that he did it all by himself.

Bisen could not keep it up forthe first 4 years. He has no chance of beating the orange fibber, and no chance of running the country for the next 4 minutes, let alone the next4 years.

Trump will be the next president. He won’t win, but Biden will lose everything if he insists he is capable of continuing.

Everyone makes mistakes, it's how they are taken by the media and public that matters.

I know I'm not the best communicator, have often spoken incorrectly due to thinking faster than speaking without an I/O buffer. It's why I prefer writing, where I can go back and edit my mistakes. However, I'm not a public statesman, where communication skills are paramount.

Biden managed to catch his gaffe w.r.t. Putin/Selensky, although many of the clips don't show it. He failed to pick up on his Deputy Trump slip, which is a little more worrying.

Trump survived the shooting and stood up and fist pumped. That's it. The election is over. Unless someone shoots and doesn't miss again, he is the president.

Well done everyone.

[39TG]

If so, Europe urgently needs to rearm. The British and others in Europe have been caught with their pants down yet again.

The Democrats need a silver bullet.

The shooter was a registered Republican.

Mmm, this was the most unfortunate that could happen to Biden.
Many Americans don't want a frail old man stumbling over his words - they want a street fighter. One with blood on his face and raising his fist against all odds.
Today they saw one.

​So close and yet so far , 2 more inches to the right and the cnut would have been gone , hopefully the next one will hit him right between the eyes , fook Trump ,

2 more inches to the right and the cnut would have been gone

And what would happen then ?

Has anyone noticed a similarity between the photo of Trump after the assassination attempt and an iconic WWII photo?

Nope

Both will stay in the history books for a while though

Ivo Jima is an re-enactment, if I'm not wrong.

Trump is the real deal

(he couldn't buy that publicity for money)

It crossed my mind when I saw the photo, yes Nev. It is an iconic photo and will instill a new drive in the Trump campaign towards the Presidency.

I think someone from the Democrats has to step forward and take over from Biden, before it's too late. This attempted assassination was the worst thing that could happen if you are not a Trump supporter.

Had to chew on this statement for a second or two.

Know what you mean though
