    I firmly believe that if any other candidate, in a primary or general election, either republican or democrat, had said this, it would end their campaign.

    We have become so accustomed to Trump saying outrageous bullshit, that this will be forgotten in less than a week, and most voters will never even hear about it.

      Trump has steadily pushed the limit of what a politician can get away with for years. He is a master bullshiter devoid of any moral capacity to feel shame and bullshited his way through everything. No low will ever be too low for him.

        Idk I loved hearing about him muttering “I won” over and over to himself when he lost the 2020 election.

        And if that was bad, losing to a brown woman… My God.

        I can only HOPE that there are lows too low for him. He’s surely speeding towards that finish line.

      Within a matter of hours there was already a swarm of apologists going “here’s what he actually meant”.
