A good start to his campaign then.

It's the same old re-cycled campaign that resulted in 3 losses.  Good start or bad omen.

Actually another poster stated how the last year had shown how we needed a mature President.

 

Biden was the President this last year and at 79 you could be kind and call him "mature". So I refuted his assertion. Hope that's OK boss...

I can see you're having problems with the truth now as well, this is what the other poster said:

 

"I think the international events of the past year have demonstrated precisely why it’s important to have an experienced President in the WH."

 

To which you replied with reference to Biden

Fox News cut away from Trump's rambling presidential announcement speech after 40 minutes

 

"During his rambling, hourlong speech on Tuesday, Fox News cut away from Donald Trump's 2024 presidential campaign announcement after approximately 40 minutes.

The conservative news organization, which regularly promoted Trump's policies and hosted his speeches while he was president, cut away from the live remarks in favor of commentary about the former president's third bid for office."

Noticed an article on Fox News where they mention all the ongoing investigations into Trump and their prediction that Trump may seek emergency intervention measures from the Supreme Court in an attempt to temporarily block any release of his tax records—which likely will come under renewed scrutiny now that he decided to run for a third time.

 

Personally I see no choice for Trump than to run, its his only hope of keeping his head above water and not in jail.

Not fair as the media were 95% against him for 4 years whatever he did, resulting in a vote against him by the easily led, rather than a vote for Biden.

So Trump's erratic behaviour and B.S. talking was not responsible for the bad coverage he had? What should the media do? Diffuse B.S. propaganda instead of checking facts and debunking B.S.

I guess you will also complain that CNN is being unfair to Trump for debunking the B.S. he just said?

Yes I paraphrased his post.

 

He said "I think the international events of the past year have demonstrated precisely why it’s important to have an experienced President in the WH."

 

I paraphrased that his position was "the last year had shown how we needed a mature President".

 

It was an accurate summary of what he said. I referenced Biden to contradict his position.

 

Remind me, how is that not truthful?

Trump claimed he filled the national oil reserve but Biden emptied it. The fact is that the national reserve was less when Trump left office than when he assumed it.

The SPR was only marginally less when Trump left office than when he assumed it and Trump's attempt to top it up in 2020 during the extreme low price period was blocked by congress.

 

The relevant fact is that Biden has squandered half of the rest already.

Better to remind me on why you choose to bring in Biden into a Trump thread?

He is claiming that the US is a disaster and he was the only president to never have a war during his time in office, that the Ukraine war would never have happened and that the strategic oil reserves have been drained by Biden...this guy is taking pot shots at all.  He also has stated that North Korea never launched a missile while he was in office either.

My life was much better under the Trump administration than the current regime. Retirement savings have been cut in half.

[Chomper Higgot]

I wonder, has it not occurred to Trump and his supporters to look at the midterm results and see if they can spot any messages it might have for them?

Co-incidental, comes to mind. Most of the world's lives and investments would have been better between 2016 and 2019 before COVID, supply change issues and Putin's war. Nothing to do with Trump!

My retirement savings are the same as they were two years ago.

Ah so nice to see the ones fans already saying the election has been stolen hecause of the Trump Hate Media...so predictable and laughable. In Trumps speech he also blamed China for his election loss as well, you must be so happy @proton

He said many people thought China played an active role in the 2020 election.

I suggest Putin didn't have a large enough war chest to fund his war when Trump was POTUS, and he was possibly waiting to see if his chosen candidate won in 2020. And if Trump had won, Trump would have supported his criminal mate against Ukraine and Nato.

 

When Trump failed to win in 2020, Trump tried to order an unplanned and an immediate withdrawal from Afghanistan to leave mess for Biden. 

 

The withdrawal was always going be problematic but one almost a year before Biden's planned one it would have been a chaotic disaster.

Again, the other poster did not reference a "mature president" He made no mention of any president. Paraphrasing inaccurately is no excuse for not quoting what he really said, its not exactly hard and exposes your attempt to hide the fact that it had nothing to do with a "mature president"

 

"I think the international events of the past year have demonstrated precisely why it’s important to have an experienced President in the WH."

Lots of people put their 401K into bonds when they saw that inflation was rising. They made out like bandits.

I would suggest that a lot of elderly non-working retirees would have moved their funds to low interest non-risk investments such as cash when COVID hit and have not moved them back to stocks until the market stopped bouncing. 

 

Especially when they have no way of replacement of funds.
