Pepperidge Farms remembers pretty Goddamn well what he said.
Youtube video timestamped to the quote:
Than doesn’t sound like celebrating at all…
Woah this guy should be president and we ahould let him do whatever he wants. -americans for some reason
It would have been so good if it only were to happen in US, but it seems people worldwide are absolute shite and they keep electing this kind.
When liberals keep selling far-right positions back to the masses, why would the masses bother voting for the people who only just started saying those things were issues, when they could listen to the people who’ve been saying it the whole time?
The reason why fascism is capitalism in decline. Capital captured politicians can’t reverse course on policies that increase suffering for the benefit of profit, so they have no answers to the growing problems of profit-seeking without end. Fascists don’t have answers either, but they don’t have to worry about things like reality or political possibility when selling their version of the future. They just agitate, villianize outgroups, and win when liberals/centrists try to repeat their politics in an effort to chase the Overton window.
twice
But later on people who had been alive then had no idea he was like this and voted for him in three different elections.
Yea but he promised to hurt the queers so all is forgiven.
That’s not fair, he promised to hurt a lot more than just the queers.
Yea he promised to get the brown and poors too.
Queers, browns and poor’s covers just about all of it for them doesn’t it? Add liberals and it’s totally complete.
Don’t forget the talk about sterilizing autistics and making them work on farms.
That one wasnt Trump, but someone in his or RFKs spheres.
EDIT: Ah yes, RFKs “wellness farms”.

They knew. They didn’t care.
It’s frustrating but a laaaarge proportion of people who voted for him didn’t pay attention to politics so didn’t know, or care to look it up, and just bought the propaganda that “conservatives good for economy”.
So when they were struggling under a non Republican, they voted that way.
It’s dumb and frustrating, and I know there are plenty of people who do know and don’t care, or support their horrible views… But a decent chunk didn’t
Some of them are all about the actions from who is in power and don’t care about the rest. I’m more referring to the ones who use the excuse “they didn’t know he was like this”. And I’ll admit that there’s some who will say that, then still support him anyway.

It’s almost that if you take them at their word, rather than them being a fool for believing such things, that you are in-fact the fool who believes their ridiculous explanation for why they aren’t a bad person.
True enough. I’m trying to not sink into total cynic level. It’s difficult.
Oh but he’s just joking 🙄
It’s just locker room talk!
He just tells it like it is!
You guys just can’t take a joke!
Seriously fucking annoying sharing the same air as these morons.
If I knew what a piece of shit he was growing up in California, they did too. For them, he’s a feature, not a bug, because inside they’re just like him.
Was he technically correct?
Yes, it was the tallest by number of floors. Only beaten by one other building in absolute height by 20 feet
No. Not even close.
To drive this home, Trump tower is the 32nd highest building in New York
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tallest_buildings_in_New_York_City
He didn’t say NY, he said tallest building in downtown manhatten.
That sounds more likely to be factually correct, but of course he’s still a psychopathic narcissist who’s clinincally incapable of understanding that other people feel pain.
That’s some “Joe hasn’t hit a home run since it was raining and Tuesday” stat guy shit, which tracks well enough given how it describes things, just make noise in front of a camera
isn’t Trump tower in Midtown? If you include Midtown as part of Downtown that covers pretty much every very tall skyscraper in the city
40 wall st was the address of the building being referenced, but i’m not super familiar with the layout of nyc.
That’s my bad, i was thinking of a different building
Also, “own” is unlikely to be a fact either.
Good. So Trump IS stable…
geniusstable… one.when hes not taking his adderall+ cocaine combo.
💀💀
Has he ever been?
Douches gonna douche. As much as we like to point out that he’s a tasteless scumbag, his base already knows this and loves him for it. A lot of people relish the idea of not caring about anything beyond themselves and being able to openly express opinions without any actual knowledge. They respect that he acts the way they want to.
Dutch comedian Arjen Lubach made a preview of what Trump will say happened to him the coming years (spoiler: he’s not done making things up): https://youtu.be/T1amNlMeqbA?t=232.
The first 2,5 minute are in Dutch, as he lists all the things Trump previously said about his whereabouts on 9/11.
Worth noting that it has actual English subtitles, not machine generated, and confirms OP’s post.

Nice, must mean they were expecting (or at least hoping for) foreign viewers.
Their Trump clips have gone viral before so that’s a reasonable assumption.
Thanks a lot for this. Heel goed!
Dit mag van mij net zo viral gaan als Netherlands Second toentertijd. Ben t niet altijd met 'm eens, maar ik vind Lubach echt een held soms.
Ik heb hem pas een tijdje geleden ontdekt, maar kijk hem unregelmaatig. Ik ben Duitser en kijk hier graag naar de „Heute Show“ en vooral „Die Anstalt“. Tijdens Corona kwam ik bij Colbert en Kimmel terecht en ben ik uiteindelijk eens gaan zoeken naar iets vergelijkbaars in Nederland.
Ik spreek een beetje Nederlands, en Laubach is heel goed te verstaan en heeft een heerlijke, bijtende humor. De afleveringen die heel erg op Nederland gecentreed zijn begrijp ik meestal niet (mis de context), maar de internationale onderwerpen, zoals deze video, zijn echt geweldig!

Das habe ich auch mit shows von John Oliver wenn sie über Amerikanische sachen gehen. Aber dein Niederländisch is sehr gut, ganz toll.
Supposedly he is a bit like Jan Bohnermann, haven’t checked that for myself but that might be a nice way to improve my German. Bohnermann even had a guest appearance in Lubach’s show last week. Lubach joked that Ulrich Siegmund (the leader of the Sachsen-Anhalt AfD) could be a bit by Bohnermann so Lubach calls him mid-show and they talk a bit about the AfD. Had to look it up on YouTube because I didn’t remember his name: https://youtu.be/PuEFQMXJTiM
Thank you, dein Deutsch auch :) I ran my text through a spell checker though since my phone’s autocorrect hates Dutch and sabotages it and while my vocabulary is okay I’m never sure with the long vocals (double ee etc)
Böhmermann is a bit special. He does music (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNjG22Gbo6U) and often starts elaborate undercover attacks (or pranks), exposes frauds and scandals and things like that. Not a typical late night show I’d say. He also got in trouble for his pretty vicious attacks on Erdogan. In general I like what he does but it’s quite intense!
Thank you also for this link. I’m on vacation right now and didn’t watch too many German news lately. I was aware of the AfD win but I didn’t want to listen to any of their aggressive bullshit propaganda.
Unfortunately a lot of people like them, even people I know (I live in NRW, right next to the Dutch border). It’s business people who don’t like taxes and bureaucracy, people scared of immigrants and poor uneducated people who think they’re not treated fairly by the government.
It’s very hard to discuss with them. For some reason they always punch downward (immigrants or unemployed people) while they’re dissatisfied with the current government (which is in fact shit). It’s so clear that AfD won’t solve any of their problems. They are incompetent except for propaganda and their whole job, for which they get paid by billionaires, is to destabilize and weaken Europe and Germany.
I hope we’re as resilient as you guys in NL and can handle some right wing parties and then get rid of them if they’re incompetent and won’t turn full Nazi again like in the past… We SHOULD know better
I was there and when I saw Trump being carried out by those two burly firemen, my heart swelled that this great man had been saved, and I said to him, with tears in my eyes, “Sir…” (even THEN he commanded respect) “Sir, thank God you’re alright.” Then I touched the hem of his garment, he nodded, said “Bless you”, and I’ll never forget it.
Classy
Is there source or just BS
My brother in Christ, the answer in one DDG search away.
https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/trump-911-tallest-building/
Why should they bother searching when they know someone will do it for them?
If everyone thought like this, then it wouldn’t work.
Yes. I was alive and heard it when it happened. It was so fucking tone deaf.
Haven’t looked at that person’s account but wanting to hear the recording ourselves is a reasonable thing to ask
