MSNBC host Katie Phang reacted to the exchange and said, “Oh, wait wait wait. Trump is now saying that his campaign's photo op was a setup.”

    He’s blaming the parents of dead soldiers.

    What a loser.

    Lol, he just threw the parents that were kissing his ass about the visit right under the bus.

    And I bet they’d kiss his ass for that, too.

    we’re leading the internet

    I don’t know who posted those videos

    probably “the parents”

    The rules are very clear

    It’s kind of a grey area

    I swear he manages to talk for hours and never actually say anything…

      Yeah. When will a journalist call him out on this? Maybe ask pointed questions? Ask for clarification? Call out his rambling?

    Biden got called out for rambling all the time (and it was pretty fair, to be honest). Why are Trump’s ramblings and non sequiturs not equally highlighted? The guy speaks like he’s reading a scrabble board.

      Because Trump’s been an idiot all along. With Biden there was a decline, so they could claim he was no longer competent. Trump was never competent, so any decline doesn’t really matter much.

    The “I was just doing what I was told” defense isn’t a defense and that’s been proven.

    However, it’s also been proven this guy suffers 0 consequences to anything ever so…

    That didn’t happen. And if it did, it wasn’t that bad. And if it was, that’s not a big deal. And if it is, that’s not my fault. And if it was, I didn’t mean it. And if I did, you deserved it.

    The Narcissist’s Prayer

    Everyone is thinking of it.

    Honestly, I don’t even blame Trump for this particular tactic. I blame his base.

    They are all whores for nonsensical conspiracy theories. They literally reject the reality in front of their face for “pizza parlors are all running pedophile sex fight club franchises in their basements owned by George Soros!” type shit. If he didn’t say it, they would and probably already did run with something similar in their echo chambers.

    The last two months have been a goddamn rollercoaster.

    It almost makes me wonder if we really are in a sim and someone is just pressing buttons to fuck with us and see what we do.

    I’m still waiting on that video evidence that proves he is innocent. He promised it a few days ago. I wonder how long we will have to wait?

      They are furiously trying to edit it to show exactly what they claim happened. Obviously, they didn’t get enough footage to stitch together a convincing lie that doesn’t make Cheung look like a fetid shitstain.

    Yes, curse those grieving families! Always trying to set up campaigning politicians and their cameras who just randomly show up to Arlington.
