Trump doesn’t know what a mistake is.
The president said Friday that he had watched and passed along the video — which focused on claims of voter fraud until the final seconds of the clip — to unidentified “people” to post to his Truth Social account, but that he “didn’t see the whole thing,” including the brief portion that showed the heads of the Obamas edited onto the bodies of apes.
In response to a question from The Washington Post about whether he would heed the calls of some Republicans to apologize for posting the video, which was widely condemned as racist and offensive, Trump said he would not.
“No, I didn’t make a mistake,” Trump said on his way to Palm Beach, Florida, for the weekend. “I look at a lot of — thousands of things. And I looked at the beginning of it. It was fine.”
Sir, sir, sir, that is a mistake. That right there that you just described: that is a MISTAKE. You looked at the beginning of it so you missed the disgusting bit at the end and that was a – say it with us – mistake.
Sheesh, I don’t even like posts on social media if I haven’t watched any attached videos all the way through. But, of course, he’s right in a way. Trump is the bullshitter-in-chief. For him these sort of fuck-ups aren’t mistakes – they’re his brand and his followers will love him all the more for it. “He’s so genuwine and honest”.
OK, I think I better stop now before I go all Jonathan Pie. But sheesh, if I didn’t have to get some sleep.
He couldn’t get to the end of a video that was apparently about a minute long.
Wouldn’t this be the equivalent of not reading the fine print before signing a contract? This might explain some of his many bankruptcies and failures (all paid for with other peoples’
rublesmoney, of course).
