How ‘Plaid Shirt Guy’ Got Prime Seating at a Trump Rally - The New York Times https://apple.news/AE6inPAduS_esOYur-yDy9g
Kabe59
Now he's gonna get death threats from Trumpians
AStupidWeeb
It wasn't luck that put him in that position, they specifically chose him because they decided he would look good on camera.
RyuAzuku
Woo! From my hometown ?
Stev757
How many rallies is this fucker gonna have? For fucks sake...I'm so tired of this proto-fascist garbage.

Melania makes the same faces he did when Drumpf speaks, you just can't tell with all the plastic surgery she's had...

Got ‘em! Another unremarkable victory!

Goes to show Trump's administration can't do even the simplest of things, so yeah kinda.
TheMadMason
Maybe it's because trump is running out of people who want to be known to be "with" him.

Not a fan that they detained a minor for no crime and told him not to come back. Come back to where? The venue? The President?
apathyisakiller
lol right! i get the first part. but the fact that they were questioned by secret service for no crime is scary.

To clarify, there is a massive difference between a Democratic Socialist and a Social-Democrat. They are not synonymous terms.

Swede here: what does the ethnicity of the police officers matter at all?
JustforKicks5350
It says “while police officers” not “white police officers”.

Ah, my mistake. Thanks!

So now we're mad that his campaign uses less manipulation?

... this is proof of MORE manipulation. not less. what article did YOU read?

You mis-read the article, didn't you.

Kids gonna get knocked off by Trump's goons
freshouttabatteries
Good God this post is stupid. A Trump hating Dem pretends to be a fan to get close to POTUS.
freshouttabatteries
With all the death threats you dont think this might be cause for concern?
freshouttabatteries
No, how stupid of people to be wary of the psychotic violent Left getting close to Trump.
freshouttabatteries
Obviously he was removed because he wasnt MAGA enough. What a moron you are.

Are you okay, buddy?

Little too much truth and fact there for you? Bless you Chinesebots

"In general, not anyone can stand behind political candidates at rallies." Okay. I see nothing wrong with this policy, because, you know

it's not like there've been open calls for violence against him.
RedOvermorrow
He told people at a campaign rally to punch a protester. Talk shit get hit imo.
vikingbunnyninja
Because being a mocking jackass is praiseworthy when it's towards someone you don't like.
dontrike
Questioning insanity and idiocy isn't mocking.
todayok
You do actually know what the particular stupid statement that Small Hands was making that got the "mocking", right?
theresgarlicinthatnebula
HermeneuticalQuandary
He made a face of confusion at what was being said and not one of blind optimism which was asked of people in that section. Simple as that.
MisterLemons
Because having a reaction to and distancing yourself from a man spewing forth the auditory form of autism somehow makes one a jackass.
Sherlock89
Truthfully this kid doesn't seem like he was mocking Trump. His handlers should have been better with keeping people who wouldn't react 1/2
Sherlock89
Naturally behind him. Politicians usually control that pretty well.

When it's toward a racist, idiotic and sexist pig. But you stupid republicans can't understand that it seems

I'm glad you have the guts to point out the president's ugly tendency to lash out at every criticism, but we're talking about this guy now.

*Because mocking a jackass is praiseworthy, when said jackass weaseled his way into the White House. (1st amendment, it's the American way)
MadMupp
You know if he was behind Trumps opponent doing similar things people wouldn't believe he got there randomly. He would also be a Nazi.
jfd8u438fdsfkds
Are you a Nazi?

Totally, sexist to... And I would have gotten away with it if it wasn't for this cis white male guilt haha

Trump is the president. He doesn't have an opponent.

Fairly certain many people have this reaction to a trump speech, but don't get filmed because it's bad PR
SuperBeetle76
We don’t get filmed because we’re not at trump rallies.
hitdog42
Wow, I hadn't seen this one yet. Gotta love good old Buzz
MerToo
I can imagine him trying to resist the temptation to say things like "OH FFS! What?! Dude! That's not how it works! NO! OMG you NOOB! FML!"
masterbrotar
Chris d’elia has a great rant about Buzz on his podcast.
mygirlfriendhatesthewordginy
Look up the speech, it's hilarious. You'll see why buzz is making a face like he just ate a whole pack of sour patch kids
Hungrypiemonger
i am really intrigued to know. but i am also fucking lazy.
TonyZed68
And... if you watch a video and hear what Trumpy was saying at that moment... you'll also say "what?"
MissDashLisa
You can also see the girls behind him holding a flag & letting it touch the ground several times &at one point wearing it like a scarf. Smh

"what?"
JustforKicks5350
“It’s harder and harder to win the popular vote. You go to 3/4 states and boom boom boom you win the puh... it’s like the hundred yard dash
TonyZed68
He said the election was "hard and harder to win THAN the popular vote" (claiming the pop. vote was meaningless)
JustforKicks5350
THAT makes more sense. The clip I had garbled the first part. But when in doubt, always default to him stroking his own ego.

strugglesnuggler
It is meaningless. This is a republic. The popular vote should reflect the actual outcome but it does not determine anything.
rosebudthesled
When did Russia join the Republic?
strugglesnuggler
To people downvoting, the electoral college has no requirement to vote as the populace wants (ie the popular vote).
gandalfrodo
In the current system, yes. Most Americans voted for Hilary Clinton, but that was not reflected in the outcome.

Times to transcribe because it wasn’t intuitive and so it was hard to follow where he was headed with his ramble.

That is my biggest issue. I can't sit and listen to the guy talk, it's irritating
PermanentBeta
Honest question: Why is he still talking about the win against Hillary? He’s almost a year into presidency and she’s been pretty quiet
JustforKicks5350
I think it’s because he needs a villain to be against to distract from his myriad scandals plus I think he’s still butthurt about what she

VikingRuger
You jumped over the person whose employee admitted doing it to attack one party. You made it partisan.

I went with the story I KNEW was 100% factual. I’m confident all administrations did it. You made it partisan. Not me

Legit question. Have Trump supporters gone into democrat conventions and such and mocked them in the background and protested etc. before?

i wouldnt call this mocking at all

Would you if it was Bernie Sanders speaking?

nope, youre allowed to disagree with sanders too. in fact, you should

So what was Trump saying at the moment of that facial expression?
DeguRatface
Some dumb metaphor about running
MlemminBlepper
He was saying things like "jobs have never been better" and his expression was like "pfft really?"
Choman82
All the Trumpy things.

Does it matter exactly what he said, because anything good has come out??

Probably something about how anonymous sources are cowards or some shit.

That's cheating, 90% of the noise coming out of the gaping void that is Trump's mouth is stupid!
SmellyLumpus
Whats the 1/10?
Rexli78
I think he did say something that was technically factually correct. I think it was about children not being small horses or something.
Undrave
Does it matter? It was probably false.
maximuminnovationstevejobs
He was talking about how he once had a pizza that had other tiny pizzas as a topping like pepperoni

Mimsey
iirc, at the moment of the "what??" comment Trump was saying it was harder to win the EC than the popular vote.
BopTheDrass
So easy, and yet he didn't actually win it
GoldenSour2
Mimsey
He compared it to running a marathon vs running a 100 yard dash. I'm not sure what he meant and apparently neither did plaid shirt guy.
CigaretteMan
At "239" lbs I'm not sure that Donnie boy is an authority on marathons or 100 yard dashes
Gosuamakenatek
Wow, losing the popular vote must have bruised his pathetic fragile little ego beyond repair if he's still not over it by now.
NM156
No, he still thinks he was cheated out of the popular vote!
Gosuamakenatek
It was probably those mexicans!
Alphonsevaher
Naw, it was the gosh darn Democrats! This is all THEIR fault!
dragonraven13
Didn't he win the EC, but fail the popular vote? Not sure his point.
FrickendaChicken
He wanted to say he won the more difficult vote
dragonraven13
Good for him. He's the president tho, why does he keep needing to say that?
angelwkw3
Because anytime he loses at something there has to be an excuse or a reason why. He can't accept defeat as he is a sore loser.
tangent
Low self esteem, probably.
trubblebot
Well, he's not wrong, if you're a democrat. Case in point, Clinton 2016, Gore 2000. Happened twice in 16 years, hadn't happened since 1888.
McFuu
People will always bring up these elections like they were "robbed", reality of it is they both ran really poor campaigns.
TheBigBadBonerBiter
As someone who wanted literally anyone except Trump to win, I can't couldn't tell you a thing about Hillary's campaign other than she ran.
DanSapSan
Oh no, she dabbed that one time and there was this woooaah-.gif. Also, she was a women running.
ComeJoinTheMurder
Stop downvoting you asshats, McFuu is completely correct. That's coming from a democrat btw.
littlegoblin
People are sore losers
CitizenDickbag
Gore really did win Florida, though.
Gosuamakenatek
But still got the majority of the votes. The people spoke, but the system didn't listen.
RichManSCTV0
Some of the people spoke, the system represents ALL the people
McFuu
As politicians running for president, their lack of awareness of how the EC works and why it was set up is a failure on them.
Shohanna
That's why we don't live in a damned representative republic but an Oligarchy, they can fix it when they want and how they want.
txtmylife
He was saying that the economy has never been stronger and unemployment is way down and the stock mkt is high, all of which are untrue.
trubblebot
Well, unemployment is way down and the stock market is high, but those trends started a couple years into Obama's presidency.
1metalnation
I mean, the stock market has shot up the last couple years. It did something like 22% last year

There are many very strong arguments against this economy being the 'strongest ever' chiefly among them depressed purchasing power of MC

Why do all of these dudes look exactly how I’d imagine democratic socialists to look... their entire fraternity ‘Beta Beta Beta’ was there.

Dunno, but at least they aren't so insecure that they need to generalize people and attack their appearance.

Saying someone looks like a democratic socialist is degrading?
GrimdogX
Yeah go ahead and ignore the other half of your comment that's fine.
CigaretteMan
I mean, they're not untrue. Although, if memory serves, I've heard similar boasts from the right before...circa 2007/2008. Soooo...
OutoftheDarknessIntotheLight
I don't like the Trumpkin either but unemployment and the rock market are where we've improved under his administration... just sayin
BopTheDrass
unemployment is low but thats because people have to work three jobs to make a living. Whats the point of that?
jimfancypants
Wrong. Taking more than one job would still only count as one person OFF of unemployment. They count how many people are on unemployment.
BopTheDrass
And the stock market is not a good indicator of the overall financial well-being of most Americans, mainly the rich
Rexli78
The implication is that Trump was responsible for those things. Which would be untrue.
KWJester49
Are you saying Obama had lasting positive effects? Only bad stuff carries over, anything good is clearly from who is currently in charge
Rexli78
Wait are you agreeing with me or are you mocking me I can't tell.

All of which weren’t his doing. Thanks Obama!

How dare you! Next you're gonna tell me that Obama isn't to blame for 7/11; wake up sheeple.
