The wild thing is how dementia is making his lies so ridiculous that they are easily dismissed at this point.
The wild thing is how dementia is making his lies so ridiculous that they are easily dismissed at this point.
The Geneva Conventions just sighed in unison.🤦🏻♀️
Meanwhile half the strumpf family are shoving up their nose.
only 83 million people left in america.
Please, oh sweet baby Jesus, deliver us from this never ending merry go round!
Why doesn’t any reporter push back at his insane comments? Do they not know how stupid the answers are? We need stronger, smarter press.
Sounds like a crazy non sequitur!
300,000,000 is almost the whole population of America. Trump, demented pedophile, …
idiot
This fucking idiot doesn't even know the population of the country he is president of. And you can't even say he was talking about the entire globe. That number is hundreds of thousands, not hundreds of millions. You'd have to be this stupid to admit to rigging an election.
Trumps technique is so transparent. GUILTY!
Fuck, I knew this was the bad place
Oh bsky.app/profile/thet...
Wait!? I'm dead?
Aren’t doing/taking drugs a choice?Most of the time people aren’t forcing them into you.I’m just talking through this out loud here. Just wondering how much the govt should get involved in a “war on drugs.”Yes, if we can stop them at our literal border,great.But, going out of the way like this..??
I’m still here… I’m part of the 300M population living in the US!
Timeline is important. Bondi saved 300M and Trump said 300M died. If..... * Bondi saved first, and Trump's died after..... we are dead/zombies. * Trump's died first, Bondi saved after............. we were resurrected. Are we living in a weird multi-ending movie??????
Once again MAGA math isn’t math-ing. 🤷🤷♀️🤷♂️ “Since you have been in office, President Trump, your DOJ agencies have seized more than 22 million fentanyl pills, 3,400 kilos of fentanyl … which saved — are you ready for this media — 258 million lives,” Bondi said.
😂😂 you know when they talk the only talk to MAGA, right ?
On the plus side, Trump is clearly withering in real time, like he's fully going to be the Skeksis emperor by the end of the year and dissolve into dust
LOL yas. We also would have accepted "has chosen the incorrect grail"
Stop the ride stop the ride I feel nauseous
www.cdc.gov/nchs/pressro...
What’s 27% of 300 million?
Worldwide, roughly 600,000 people die each year from drug use (mostly opioids). Every single one of them is too much. But it is not 300 million. Sincerely, The Netherlands
So not even worldwide. Big surprise.
Trump's figure is just 500 times too 'bigly'. 499 times is misinformation and a lie
300 million? Is he going to reduce that number by 1500%?
MAGA doesn't question their king (and neither does #FoxNews)!
Yes, I see you're an idiot!!!
So the population of the WHOLE USofA is around 347 million. Doesn't look to me like 3/4 of the Population is dead! This is what happens when you put an idiot in charge like Orange Shitler and then let them hire more even more ignorant morons on charge. Math hurts their brains!!!!!
Doesn’t this mean that most of the population of the USA died?
That’s the entire population of the United States.
Alnost--40 million survive
those 40 million would be too young to fend for themselves
We're all dead, and we went to Hell. You didn't think this insanity was real, did you?
Not sure he means “in the US”. But yeah, that’s most of us.
Damn!! Did we all die and came back?Paging Jake Tapper 😬
We must have died from drugs and we are all now in hell.
Wait—I thought we were all supposed to drop dead from the Covid vax? I’ve now had 5 jabs, so I guess I died 5x. But now you’re telling me we all actually died from drugs instead? This death thing is so confusing!
I hope we are still high at least.
If we're dead but think we're still high? Oh we're higher than Mount Everest.
Correction: "we're still *alive*"... *sob*
It’s the only logical explanation.
lol. Coulda been worse, right!!!
So all of the pussy is gone? FUCK! 😠 😠 😠
When this is how he counts his money as well there might be some hope to have a good laugh Oh wait... This is how he does his business and maintain his friendships
"friendships"
Yeah that's another interesting subject around not having any true friends. Not even his own kids who just follow him because he's throwing around money
Yup. He only has people who do what he wants -- because they're scared of his power to hurt him, they want something from him (power or money), or both. His kids and wife are probably biding their time until he kicks off.
This is like when he said he’d lower drug prices by 500%.
Facts don't matter and neither do numbers.
🤣🤣🤣 He’s really far gone!
I feel special.
Unfortunately RFK jr health policy will certainly kill few millions 🤷♀️
I certainly die a little every time I see or hear him and have been dying a little each day since he descended the golden escalator.
shit there are only 42 million of us left!
Smart like sack of hammers.
At least that definitely would have solved the housing problem. We each get a million vacant houses.
It all makes sense now. The dogs and cats are running shit now!!!
The CDC’s provisional estimate is 80,391 drug-overdose deaths in the United States for 2024.
I always round all numbers up to the nearest multiple of 0.3 billion. It's just easier. - How much milk should we get for next week? - 0.3 billion litres.
That was the response I was looking for; thank you.
No worries, with the recent "improvements" to the CDC, that number will drop to zero Real Soon Now.
Biden was President in 2024 so the CDC won’t drop the number of deaths. Although when trump was president in 2020, the amount of overdoses were 120,000.
Yeah I know. It was meant to be a smartass comment, but it was more of a comparison to COVID at its worst back in 2020. Deaths to COVID had reached 200,000 by September 2020 so...
Yes, I’m sure COVID related deaths were worse than the drug overdose deaths. Some may have a connection though with people being out of work or locked up in their homes. Plus 4 years of a trump presidency would see even the healthiest people turning to drugs.
It'll be either zero or 300,000,000, depending on what's more convenient for the toadstool at the time of reporting
Exactly!
Plus doesn’t mean they were illegal drugs besides
Yup if 300 Million died last year, there'd only be 34 Million Americans left
Less than the population of California or Canada.
Yes exactly!!! 😂🤣😂
Isn’t the population of the US like 350ish million?
348 million when I last checked
Mush brain pulling numbers out of the air again… fucking clown shoes.
You know it
Sixty-ish million people die every year in the entire world. So for every person on earth who died for any reason last year, another three to four people died from drugs inside the president’s head. No wonder he forgot his grief over Charlie Kirk so fast.
So we are all in hell. Dead.
I can’t. 🤣☝🏼👏🏼
That explains it!
It explains a lot! This IS the bad place!
You have to admit us dying in Nov 2024 and this being a never-ending Hell makes a lot more sense than reality.
I’ve said we are living in Chapter 2 of a Stephen King novel. Just totally unreal.
Oh, the part where it still looks kind of normal on the outside but you know things are going to get so much worse in ways you haven’t even thought of yet? Yeah, that tracks 🫠
When things have already gotten worse and everybody about to find out.
When I thought the comment you're replying to nailed it and then saw yours. 💯😱 THAT part. We're still in the 1st quarter of the game with the offense on the scrimmage line and they control the rulebook.
I could have died when I was being born, and I have spent large chunks of my life wondering if I actually did and this is just hell. It would explain a lot.
I’m not sick, but I’m not well
And it’s so hot, ‘cause I’m in hell
Been around Am'r'ca'n' seen that only stupid people are breeding
The cretins cloning and feeding And I don’t even own a TV.
Put me in the hospital for nerves and then they had to commit me† †whoops too close to home lolol?
We live in the stupidest of times ...
This is the dumbest timeline
Wish Charles Dickens were here to write Donald's Dark Doofus Ages.
Most people here wouldn’t know Dickens unless he released a graphic novel.
Glad I could help.
We do
Or are we, I mean living.
I spiraled out a bit last week. Read the sentence “why? Because we’re living in hell, that’s why” and started thinking about how The Good Place was actually The Bad Place and how being literate and compassionate in this reality could be considered Hell and maybe I died before the 2016 election and
I read a book once about some people traveling through the many hells and heavens and one was a cat hell...that was also dog heaven. Maybe we are in mass murderer heaven?
That makes so much sense. 😨
I believe it is a very specific requirement for the Bad Place to function that a person in the Bad Place may never actually know for sure they are in the Bad Place.
Y’all voted in the competent lady and Earth is flourishing but I’m just in The Bad Place. Told my husband, he looked horrified and asked when my next therapy session was. Told my therapist and she thinks I may be onto something so now we’re both spiraling & waiting for her therapist to weigh in.
I keep wondering how things are going in the Better Timeline. Then I think about how traumatizing it would be for someone from that timeline to learn that our timeline exists.
HARROWING
😆 'waiting for her therapist to weigh in'
Same.
not the therapist’s therapist 😭 therapy daisy chain
You inspired me to write this. It's long, but I think it will make you feel better by the end. unclemikesmusings.blogspot.com/2025/09/in-b...
I love this so much, my friend. Congrats on being my first use of the bookmark button! I appreciate the possibility this world exists somewhere. ❤️🩹
Thank you.
crap, now i'm worried
Right?!?!
Yes. We are definitely in the Bad Place
"This is hell, nor are we out of it"
I mean can we accept being in the bad place under those terms?
YES. Solid terms. I accept.
💜
Oh, there are many just living their lives like nothing is happening. It’s just amazing.
That would explain a lot of things. It's been feeling hellish.
yknow what I can believe that.
That would explain a lot.
This… explains a lot
Maybe it takes 72 hours for our brain's quantum twin to dissipate? So one more day of haunting and then it's total persona nullification for 300 million of us.
The timeline is all starting to make sense….
No, it doesn't. Not for ROW. 300mln is less than 5% of the total population. We are still alive, seeing you descend into tragedy.
It all makes more sense if this is hell. 🤔
We are in hell for sure!
Proof that Christian thoughts and prayers don’t work.
I sincerely wish I remembered experiencing that fatal load of drugs before I got here.
That does kinda sum it up…
Tbh I've been dead inside since November 5.
This would actually make sense.
Well that would explain a lot.
It would finally explain an awful lot.
Explains a lot
It does feel a bit like “Jacob’s Ladder”.
It explains so much
this explains it.
hey! you made it make sense!
Oh, wow. That explains some things.
We're in hell but without the sweet relief of death.
I don't think I'm dead, but we're clearly all in hell, suffering through this dumbest of awful timelines.
Explains why I have to hear about Trump all day every day!
Now things do make sense! How curious…
Trump slot machine guarantees 1000% returns, then never pays out and hits on your daughter
Deflection and lying are the only things he is good at.
Yup, they pumped him with someone else’s blood or drugs or what-the-heck-ever.
Maybe he didn't make a mistake about 300 million meaning all in the United States. Maybe he thinks he's king of the world now?
Well, that tracks.
He must be including vaccines.
Which of course isn't true either. (How many people died of COVID?)
300 million? That's most of the US population. How stupid is he?? And Trump is risking trapping the US into another Iraq/Afghanistan situation - that could draw China & Russia in as they're allies of Venezuela.
He’s so good with numbers. Nobody knows numbers like he does. Effing idiot!
America is empty
That's most of the population of America. ARE WE SURROUNDED BY GHOSTS?
I know it is pointless, but could you imagine the rotation If Biden had said this.
I see drugged people
Dead ghosts. The participle of dead ghosts.
I think we are zombie replacements! 🧟 🧟♀️ 🧟♂️
We're all dead and in Hell.
👀
hahaha...so great to see you pop up in my feed again.
Math is Hard.
But he got that straight from the source - Pam Bondi
Especially for uneducated morons.
for trump
Tbf it’s hard for me too. But not that hard.
Look at the person to your left. Now look at the person to your right. Did you know that, statically speaking, all three of you are dead?
We just cannot let go. Or the ghosts can’t, should we consult the Ghost Whisperer?
Everyone’s gonna jump on Trump’s ludicrous number, but note that he really doesn’t know what “illegal”means.
Or care.
He's innumerate and illiterate.
3x more people die of alcohol then fentanyl can we get a reporter to ask Trump what he plans to do about it ??
He's not doing anything about fentanyl, either.
It’s not illegal to die. It may be a result of illegal activity but that was in no way related to a question you were asked about illegally striking a boat. Per usual, you deflect and lie with arrogance and somehow think people don’t see you as fully incompetent.
And, by the way, 600,000 deaths occurred worldwide from drug abuse. Had there been 300M you would be talking to the wind you jackass.
"But something else was illegal, so it's OK!" Fucking toddler.
Yes.. can barely zip up his fly let alone connect the dots.
It should be illegal to be THAT stupid
TIL that 75%+ of Americans died from drugs.
Is that a stat from his little head?🤬
Well, that should solve our immigration problems. Right?
That would be almost the entire population of the US 🤦🏽♀️
But I thought 77 million people voted for him. Does that mean dead people were voting for him?
Omg there was a lot of dead people voting on both sides we knew it and you know it.
He pardoned one of the biggest drug criminals! He didn’t give a shit then or now.
He really can't help making shit up!
300 million Americans died from drugs last year? Out of 340 million? He can’t mean “world wide”, since he doesn’t give a rats ass about 3/4 of the world. But for completeness… the number is 600k worldwide and 72k in the US. www.who.int/news/item/25...
72k. And HOW many died of COVID again? Hmmmmm. Donald Trump: More deadly than fentanyl and heroin.
Bet it was even more! Three hundred thousand million! Right, you idiot?
Drug deaths will be reduced 1500% under him, people are saying
So the entire population of the United States died from drugs
Almost. 88.24%, according to тЯцмф's figure.
Tyachmf?
Don't play the "literal" game. You can see it, you know exactly what is meant by it.
My bad, I mixed up "Tse" and "Che".
He’s making up shit again, isn’t he?
Yes. The entire country died from drugs. We're the only ones left. But we got him.
That man does not live in reality. He thinks everything is a TV show.
So does his MAGAt cult. They’re in love with the circus he provides every day. They live for his chaos.
There was a total of 80,391 overdoses last year. Yeah that's a lot but stop lying DAMN!!
You mean to tell me that there's only 100 million of us left in this country?? 🙁
One is an 'apple' and the other is a 'kumquat.' Trump can't even engage with a simple statement anymore.
That too. "But something else illegal happened!" (which no one is saying is OK)
Isn’t that about the number of Americans?
It's the overwhelming majority (US pop is 340,000,000)
Yes, yes, he's either insane or an inveterate liar or both... ...but where is Maggie Haberman going or not with him?
To the UK.
Silver lining: housing prices will be dropping precipitously. 🤣 #ItHasHappenedHere
LAST YEAR!!?? 2024!!?? Wow. That's horrific! How could this have happened? **checks google**
Oh no! 90% of us are dead. I think I must have died last year from drugs
I seriously thought it would be more fun.
We are in Valhalla. Ask Kash Patel.
Thanks to all of the Nazis, inbreds, morons, racists, and other pieces of shit that voted for this idiot. Fuck all of you.
US population was 340 million - until this interview. But yeah whatever.
what???
Evergreen followup question that unfortunately is never asked: “What the fuck are you talking about?”
And, "what does one have to do with the other?"
How many people believe the #LyingFeloniousOrangeClown? Do away with the department of education? We should be strengthening it.
I was resurrected. Whew.
Globally? He pulled that out of his ass
My husband's first response: then why do we have a housing crisis?
Tell him they had to store all those bodies somewhere 🤣👊
Trump exists in multiple realities all at once. So 300 million is how many died in every reality he exists in.
That checks out.
if he understood numbers maybe not all of his businesses would have tanked so hard 😂
We by now start to understand the only reason all his business failed, was to launder ruZzian money. Would LOVE to see a report of which ruZzian laundered their rubles through which #TACO business.
Once the money was laundered, the business would go belly-up. No use for it anymore.
Wowie zowie, ..........
Don't worry dear doggie. If the number of drug deaths Trump claimed was true, there would be hardly anyone left in the U.S., which obviously, is not the case.
The doggie (and I as well) were being sarcastic. We knew Trumpy Von Pinnochio was up to his ridiculous lying again.
Understood 🌿
Wow! 90% of the US population died from overdoses last year? That’ll solve the housing shortage.
Numbers are hard.🤣🤣🤣
Now that’s funny.😆
But eggs are 1200% to 1500% less now from when Biden was in office.
🤣😂🤣
Paging @jaketapper.bsky.social
Geez how'd he pull that number out of his ass ! Doesn't he know the population of the US is only 335mil
I was just at walmart and i swear i seen 400 million morons
No... No he doesn't.
He’s a literal imbecile.
THAT'S ALMOST THE ENTIRE US POPULATION
86% to be precise. But after they died, some became undead and feasted on Trump's brain. So you can excuse him for getting numbers wrong.
Only 62 million people died ON EARTH last year
Reminders of this scene, but in reverse. www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJR1...
Breaking news: The entire United States is now dead
That must be why I’ve been feeling so crappy lately; I’ve apparently been dead for months!
I don't know who's more stupid. Trump for giving that asinine answer or the reporter for not asking a follow up question? 🤔
Why can't it be both?
Are you sure it wasn't 300 Billion?
That is complete BS…
🤡
The whole country is dead.
That bloke's a sandwich short of a picnic.
That bloke’s a whole picnic short of a picnic!
And he's got a few kangaroos loose in the top paddock
He’s a couple tacos short of a combination plate.
Is this why there hasn’t been any traffic lately 🤷♂️
Shiiittt..where tf you live!!???
Philly area. I was joking 😆
Go birds
🦅!
I know ❤️❤️❤️ All good!
😂
Pfft. It wasn't even ONE million in 2024. In fact, 2024 had a reduction in drug OD deaths. (Assuming this CDC report can be trusted, which is anybody's guess these days.) www.cdc.gov/nchs/pressro...
DID ANYONE FOLLOW UP?!! That’s all of the USA.
but of course he’s “not senile”
Damn, only 30 million Americans left.
Yes, 90% of the United States died from drugs last year It was a tragedy, but since women have no choice anymore, and have to give birth whenever men tell them we will rebuild our population in short order
😂
Who's Maggie😫
Fuck it. 8 billion.
He’s just so stupid. “In 2022, an estimated 292 million people – 5.6 per cent of the population aged 15-64 – had used a drug in the past 12 months” that figure that includes cannabis users. Source: www.overdoseday.com/facts-stats/
If and whenever and wherever they build his presidential library, there is going to be an entire wing devoted to his ignorant exaggerations, lies, and excuses. With fact checking.
Unfortunately, since former presidents and their private foundations build presidential libraries and write the exhibits in them (even though the federal government operates them, giving official credence to and approval of their rewritten history and outright lies), that won't happen.
Yeah, I know. And he will probably turn it into a marble and gold mausoleum for himself.
What's more likely is that he'll never build a federal presidential library. I explained why back in 2021, and everything he's said and done, and all that's happened since, just reinforces the argument: www.politico.com/news/magazin...

300 million died? Are we alone here?
Is Trump saying most of us are dead?!?
Confused with Orkin and termites
His lies are getting more and more ridiculous too like how could anyone possibly believe that in a few days of troops being in DC crime is down 98% lmao
What’s illegal is that we have a total moron for a President.
He is an imbecile!!!
Does this mean we’re all ghosts? Are we in hell?
Everyone must be sucking at their attack and defend rolls!
300 million. 😮 Wow
I had no idea 87% of the population of the US died from drugs last year. That is crazy. We should call ourselves the lucky 13%.
We probably should start checking in with the people we know about whether we or they are actually dead and just didn’t know yet.
Who’s this Orange dickwad addicted to Adderall for eons, lost control of bodily functions, craps his XX LARGE Adult Diapers to tell us about drug shipments. His asshole junior boy has a freaking cocaine rock hanging out one of his nostrils day by day.
So there only 40 million people left in the entire country?
Over 40 million of us up here in Canada right now. You folks south of the Border are in big trouble. With winter not that far away we are all coming to annex Florida, Texas, Arizona and especially Hawaii. And then we’re gonna paint the White House red and white. 🇨🇦
Please do
It appears the whole of America has been wiped out and we here in Europe have been totally unaware. Have the media been gagged? Is Trump just the leader of the few left around the WH?
He isn't good with numbers but he is certainly good at lies. If his numbers were even close to right, the U S. Would be a ghost town.
So there are roughly 43 million people left in the country? Cool maybe housing will start to become more affordable. The guy is an idiot
Where’d he get that number?
His ass….
Yup! Where he gets all his numbers out of. 😒
Dumber than a box of rocks.
He doesn't bother hiding his blatant LIES anymore. He just spits them out. He has too many enablers.
why not 300 billion?
Same difference, right ?😂
Perfect math. No notes.
Well, I know why I’m not in the White House press pool, because my hand would shoot up and if by some miracle I was called upon, I would ask “are these 300 million people in the room with you now?”
Move over..because I would be right there with you! So many things to ask…
I have a space just for you.
What's illegal is how stupid trump is. That is downright criminally stupid.
So we're in hell. Honestly that makes perfect sense. Not sure what I did to deserve it, but maybe it's like South Park rules. 🤷♀️
This turd apparently has a brain 🧠 😵💫😵
Why don’t they ever challenge him on this crap?
Also, he pardoned the Silk Road guy
I’ve wondered about the motivation for this. What does Ross Ulbricht offer him? There must have been a reason.
I heard some $ changed hands.
Surprise, surprise! 😄

As some one else posted relative this news, there are just under 350 million people in the USA. So, he’s lying again. But t even if it were 3k, our nation has no right to attack a nation’s people - they turned out to be (by the way) fishing - just trying to catch fish and we blew them up.
WRONG everyone knows there are untold TRILLIONS of Americans, too many to count really, so a lot of very smart people are saying we can take whatever the drug lords dish out! MAGA!!!1!!1!!!
Ha, ha, ha.
I guess Joni Ernst called it
300 Million?? Where'd he grab that number? Out of his *ss?
Well, it is a pretty big ...
That's where most of his 'alternate facts' come from!
Aid: around 100,000 people died from drugs. Trump: ok, we'll say 300,000 Aid: that's 300% too high. Trump: then that makes it 300,000,000.
bsky.app/profile/msun...
America, what has happened to the US? we have a rich history filled with ups and downs. How did we get here?
Failed math
The criminal behaviour of Trump, his family, and his so called administration is staggering.
So I looked it up to see how wrong he is, and found stats from the WHO estimating 600,000 drug overdose deaths in 2019. *Globally*. Going to guess the amount hasn't actually gone up by a factor of 500 in the intervening years.
But what can you expect from an uneducated child of primary school age? #dictatortrump #fascism #Antifa #Resist #NoKings #NaziVance #putinspuppet
THREE HUNDRED MILLION 💀💀💀
I sure feel dead 💀
Your such a fool and ass !
Wait, am I dead???
80K....... 300M. Potato potarto
Is there a law that says reporters can’t bring a politician back to the actual question when they try to change the subject?
He responds to everything with an emotional response rather than a rational one, and then tricks everyone into taking his words as rational answers. While his fans enjoy the emotional catharsis.
So there is no follow up from a reporter when Trump makes a statement that is a massive and baseless exaggeration of the actual figures for overdose deaths? Our media is pathetic.
Exactly, nobody calls him out on his lies!
Because if they did they would be removed from the press pool, losing their livelihood. Those that had the integrity still to do so, have done so, and been removed from the press pool.
Dot...billions of miles later... next dot.
Someone just take him to a real doctor, please!
Like anyone gives a shit about his welfare. (Not even his family.)
How did anyone ever take him seriously?
fair...
Joni was right!
That would be almost the entire population of the US.
Drug deaths in 2024? 80,391. Provisional data from the CDC's National Center for Health Statistics indicate there were an estimated 80,391 drug overdose deaths in the United States during 2024—a decrease of 26.9% from the 110,037 deaths estimated in 2023. Still way too high but not 300 million.
So if he means just in the US - that's over 85% of the US population WHO says globally, it's 600,000 total
🍊💩🌮 doesn't do numbers. He does microphones 🎤 youtube.com/shorts/d9mWo...
OMG Toooooo funny
An oldie, but a goodie 😉💙
Are we all dead? Is this hell? It sorta makes sense.
One thing has nothing to do with the other. He loves twisting things to fit his narrative.
It's called lying.
Please, before we end up in a war with Venezuela as another DISTRACTION!!!
Where was this outcry when Dems had the power? 🤣
When it happens…and it will happen…King Donald will be… Royally fucked…
We should be calling them The Trump-Epstein Files
The stupid, it burns!
He is such a colossal idiot…
He has dementia. His brain has rotted.
He was a colossal idiot before aging. Just worse now and more obvious
Do a Google search, you old fool: According to provisional data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), an estimated 80,400 people died from drug overdoses in 2024. This represents a significant 27% decrease from the 110,000 overdose deaths that occurred in 2023.
I mean .. every single time, a journalist could just be like "300 million that's almost the entire US, is that right? That makes no sense." But they don't. They just let the lies stand, divorced from the context of any reality. And of course it's irrelevant to the war crime.
I want some meta-journalism where someone asks lots of journalists "why did you write the article that way?" or "why didn't you dig into that obvious lie?" so we can get at the root cause of the pressure—fear of loss of access, reassignment, getting fired, physical harm .. for editors/producers too.
That would get labeled "a NASTY question" from a "third rate reporter"
Yes, and they would maintain their journalistic integrity and their grip on reality.
Maintaining your press access to the president is pointless if all you're going to do with that access is invite him to lie to the entire country every single day.
Exactly. Like, you're a journalist, why do you do what you do? If this is what you're skilled in and it's the best way you know how to make money and don't want to risk anything, I get it. I just doubt that's 100% of the remaining active journos covering the administration, but that's what we see.
Because they're all spineless fucks, just like EVERYONE in Congress.
Right on
Trump permits journalists to be close, those that would ask that question will never get to ask it, too far away. Too easy for Trump to say he didn’t hear it.
They don’t wanna risk their access to their big wet boy.
Do you really think there’s a Fox reporter that actually knows US population is 340M-ish?
It's only estimated to be 3 million GLOBALLY. It was a number absolutely pulled out of his butt because he saw a 3 once in a briefing memo and figured he'd shoot high.
And from the very little reading I did, alcohol-related deaths might/seem to be a factor in that number www.who.int/news/item/25...
Might as well print that out before he tries to cease and desist WHO for contradicting him.
Also he has no idea how many Americans there are
3 million, 300 million…. Same thing! Lol.
According to the WHO report, 2.6 million of those 3 million deaths were alcohol related. 600k actual drug related deaths.
His one and only talent is intensifying his complaints with made up multiples.
And yeah, completely disconnected from the Constitution to be making that justification in the first place.
And yes, every one of those deaths is a tragedy. It would be helpful though if our POTUS had a grasp of the basic facts involved.
Well, this is Fox News reporting.
Obviously Fox is gonna lob softballs and let everything slide by. It's not always them though.
The people who would ask a follow-up like that are not invited to ask questions to Trump.
...and I suppose equally illegal that those 300 trillionmarillion Americans actually committed crimes by BUYING the drugs. Or do we not worry about that?
Whew. Never felt more grateful to still be alive.
There are 340 million people in the US. Apparently most of us died last year from drugs...
I feel lucky I wasn’t murdered by Drugs.
I don't.
Honestly, given the current state of the world, I might opt to be one of the 300M.
🤣
"The president of Venezuela called..." no, what a "brave" reporter, it's not something that another president said, it's the international law!
Fuck the addled dipshit. I know y’all know whom I’m referring to, but for those in the government: FUCK TRUMP
Gee, I wonder if that’s just another example of saying the first lie that pops into his head?
I thought it was 1.2 billion people. Not wait, 2.3 billion people, yeah, died from drugs. Yeah, people are saying.
Big man, with tears in his eyes....
Wow I guess we should thank him for letting us know we died. Also the afterlife is kind of a letdown tbh
didn’t Bondi use that number?
She used that number as the amount of drug fatalities that were prevented. The orange asshole put that number into his puddin’ brain, and here we are
Well, that explains it. He heard the figure and attached it to something he wanted to believe or lie about. Occam's razor.
And that figure isn't right either. Big surprise. www.poynter.org/fact-checkin...
Plus his brain is working on a reptilian or Neanderthal level. So there’s not a lot of critical thinking or common sense happening
I'm not convinced he hasn't done this for all (or most) of his life. The lizards in my back yard have more common sense though.
And Trump is illegal also
Someone posted Trump said, “Smart people don’t like me.” Among the many reasons that statement is true is the idiocy that comes out of his mouth. 300M died from drugs, drug costs reduced 1500%, transgender mice, the other country pays the tariffs…. Hearing his stupidity bruises my grey matter.
Illegal is not the right word for shithead's stat there...
I might have this wrong, but isn't it the job of the u.s. DEA and border enforcement people to stop drugs from flowing over the border? So if more people were assigned to those jobs, wouldn't that be helpful?
