Me looking for the racism

Toward the start of the interview, CNBC host Joe Kernen pushed back on Trump's claims that the Bureau of Labor Statistics had "rigged" job creation numbers against him and debunked a Trump statement that the BLS had covered up negative jobs data revisions under the Biden administration until after the November 2024 presidential election.

No, that's just classic Trumpy delusions to make himself look good.

Trump also made also false claims about the price of gas in the United States falling to just $2.20 per gallon, which prompted Kernen to note that the lowest prices he's seen for gas in the U.S. were $2.80 per gallon.

Nope, not it. Just Trumpy living in a fantasy world of where he shits gold.

Trump proceeded to make false claims about the trade deal he had recently struck with the European Union when he said that the agreement gave him "$600 billion to invest in anything I want." This drew the ire of Steve Peers, a professor of E.U. and human rights law at Royal Holloway University of London.

Delusional Trumpy.

"People that live in the inner city are not doing that work," Trump said of the prospects of American citizens picking crops. "They've tried, we've tried, everybody tried. They don't do it. These people [immigrants] do it naturally. Naturally... they don't get a bad back, because if they get a bad back, they die."

Ah, there is the racism. Slightly surprised that Trumpie didn't add in that they were going to make criminals work the farms. Inner city criminals is dog whistle for black people.

Naturally… they don’t get a bad back, because if they get a bad back, they die.

What kind of failure of a journalist allows the President of the United States say something like that without pushing back?

[–] Broadfern@lemmy.world 30 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Wait. Racism aside, since that’s obvious.

He’s saying that immigrants are good for the agricultural economy, but also pushing an anti-immigrant ICE-fueled genocide campaign.

Oh right, slave labor, nevermind.

Can you imagine Trump trying to work against an AI factbot specifically trained on his lies, listening in realtime and prompting the interviewer immediately on their tablet? Infographic generated for immediate insertion in the lower corner.

It would be glorious. We need this for family arguments as well.

Are the journalists out of slams - so now they’re pouncing?

Journalists in 2025 be like: OwO *pounces on you*

[–] riverSpirit@thelemmy.club 17 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Fuck this cringe timeline, I miss when journalists weren’t all owoke and instead would let out a primal “rawr xd” like a man.

[–] Zedd00@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 weeks ago

If they're not yiffing, I'm not reading.

[–] Enkers@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 weeks ago

Right? *glomps u* ^//^

[–] hume_lemmy@lemmy.ca 10 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I picture this spoken by a rabbit in drag.

Are you tapping my computer camera? hoppity hop

[–] mhague@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Imagine using headlinese that isn't short and snappy. All you're left with is the connotation / imagery.

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 50 points 3 weeks ago

Impossible to tell if Trump is lying, dumb, or sundowning

In other news, Obama's been out of office a decade and just turned 64...

There's zero reason for presidents to be literally geriatric

Every interview of this guy needs to start with asking him about the Epstein files.

Non-whites don't get bad backs.

[–] BrokenGlepnir@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago

That statement is reminiscent of one of the letters of secession. Something like "we need black slaves because they do better in the sun". I forget which state said that. If you need them, pay them right?

Hey Dictator Trump, consider yourself pOuNcEd
