"What do you think they [protesters] want?" Harris Faulkner of Fox News asked the president. "What do you think they need, right now, from you?"
Here was Trump's answer, verbatim:
"Protesters for different reasons. You're protesting also because, you know, they just didn't know. I've watch - I watched very closely. Why are you here? They really weren't able to say, but they were there for a reason, perhaps.
"But a lot of them really were there because they're following the crowd. A lot of them were there because what we witnessed was a terrible thing. What we saw was a terrible thing. And we've seen it over the years. We haven't, you know, this was one horrible example, but you've seen other terrible examples. You know that better than anybody who would know it. And I know it. I've seen it, too. I've seen it before I was president. I've seen it. I think it's a shame. I think it's a disgrace. And it's got to stop."
Edit: This quote was from 2020
And Biden got shit for an occasional stutter, this guy blows my mind. 🙄
Because the Right has no interest in anything except winning, so htey ignore any problems with their Leader.
Trump just blew off a chance to honor four US soldiers who died in Lithuania; they are still screaming about Obama's 'latte' salute.'
How can the LEFT have any reasonable opinions if they cant even write PRONOUNS correctly

[terrible and completely off topic]
My GF has an eating disorder. Her pronouns are her/she.
They aren’t smart enough to judge the content of the words, they can only tell trump enunciated his hot air more.
This was my response to the Trump-Biden debate:
Thank you lmao. I always watch the president. Been doing it since before its cool.
Biden delivered an amazing speech one moring at 3AM to our NATO allies, it must have been 2023ish. I could not believe an 81 year old man had flown across the water to give a unifying speech. He even made a gaff! But it was well received and it was a presidential action.
Shame on him for being tired past 10pm at night, unable to debate a madman who's unable to stop lying. If only he spent 4 years relaxing, playing golf he may had been more energetic, the one hour of one night america decided to pay attention and judge a man by his words an actions.
Yeah!
Just think how bad off we'd be if Biden hadn't:
Fought against school busing after segregation ended...
Fought against healthcare reform...
Had all those "fun" dinners with strum thurmond...
Wrote large parts of the 92 crime bill...
Spent decades de-regulating finance for corporations....
Wait, what we doing again?
/s
His "hard work" was all against what the modern Dem party wants. And when he disagreed with the party as president, he just didn't try to do what the party wanted.
Stop acting like everyone forgot modern political history just because most did.
Biden was a net negative to the country even before he became president.
Nope.
I'm saying if the Democratic candidate in 2025 is on par with the Republican candidate from 40 years ago, how was it not a conservative party?
I'm saying that if the Dem candidate wants to win, they need to match what policy Dem voters want.
What about that makes you think I like trump more?
If I liked trump more I'd pretend all these valid reasons for why trump won didn't exist, because I'd be desperate for Dems to keep repeating mistakes. Or since we now have the most progressive chair in my lifetime as of 2 months ago, I'd pretend that today's DNC is in any way similar to the DNC if just a few months ago that fucked shit up so badly
But I don't like trump more
So I spend some of my free time talking about how trump was able to win, and I forming people that today's DNC is actually worth a damn and we need to rally behind their new progressive leadership
What do you do?
One problem with this tactic is that Dem voters, like Repub voters, are fundamentally dumber than a bag of hammers.
I think if anyone wants to win in today's climate, they have to capture the media (including social media).
Right, completely unintelligible
I mean, biden was trash. Just at a much weaker concentration.
Biden wasn't trash. He was the boring unexciting politics of getting shit done without fanfare. You know, like politics should be.
I don't disagree, but ya gotta keep up with the times. When the GOP starts making up unreasonable shit and a big chunk of people believe it, you need to adapt.
It's the difference between eating an apple seed and eating a barrel of cyanide capsules.
Did you not see the debate between these 2 old fucks? Biden had more than just a stutter.
Did you see any other speech by biden in the 4 years prior to that, or did you base the your decision on a few Tick tock clips that were probably AI generated? Did you even watch the full debate or did you just hit it for some confirmation bias?
What are your feelings on trump tho? Why does biden live in your head rent free? He's gone, say something about the current leadership?
Sounds to me like you didn't see the debate. He dropped out because of the debate performance. And yes, with speeches he was better because he tends to actually read what's there instead of Trump's going off script and rambling about Arnold Palmer's dick or whatever.
And Trump is a fascist, I'm pretty sure you can go through my posts and find posts where I say that.
Except Bidens performance in that infamous debate was horrendous. Anyone who's had loved ones with dementia can see it. To try to pretend otherwise is silly. Biden has clearly declined significantly since 2020.
You can also see it similarly with Trump with a much slower rate of progress, where in 2016 he was far more coherent in his word salads and seemed to actually maintain a steady train of thought while he spoke, now he just babbles and doesn't seem to have any clear idea of what he's said nor what he's going to say
Yes, he was having a bad night and trump was coked up
At least one of them had the decency to step down.
And by the way and by the way and by the way and by the way and by the way and by the way
Let's not sugar coat it. I'm no trump fan but Biden was about as lucid as a piece of driftwood.
Idk who's downvoting you. It's not anyone who saw the debate, that's for sure.
Every online space is being flooded with state run propaganda.
I'm not taking it personally lol but thank you for chiming in, it helps.
The people who just lost 20% of their retirement accounts in 2 week.
the people who are afraid they will be drafted to a war against Canada or Europe.
The people who are worried they are losing their government benefits they survive on.
The people who have to cut back on groceries 30%
The people who lost their jobs, and the many more who will.
The people affected by shutting down medical research, and rural hospitals.
The people who are at risk of being deported for no reason other than a whim.
The people who are getting mass starved across with world with no US AID
The victims of Ebola, AIDS, birdflu, measles, and all the other infectious diseases
I mean i could go on but you think about those people for a second. Then think about if you live far enough from a large population center to surrvive civil unrest as supply chains break down and people starve?
Idk why those people would be mad at someone for noticing and pointing out why Biden lost the debate.
Would it help them if I lied and said he wasn't clearly sunsetting on live tv? How?
"Biden was about as lucid as a piece of driftwood" is an accurate statement. It's why he dropped out. It's why trump won. Pointing it out 5 months after the election isn't going to change that.
I don't really understand where you're coming from
Because we're going to enter into the great depression 2 on monday and your still talking about biden. So good luck in your local hunger games and see you at the top. May the odds forever be in your favor.
Maybe you should direct this at the comment thread OP, who is the one that brought up Biden to begin with?
The comment you just replied to was my first comment in this thread. Perhaps read usernames before accusing other people of being too stupid to think, lol.
So you're suggesting we forget the former president existed? I still don't understand. How many years back do historical events need to be before you approve of discussing them on the internet?
We have a president currently who probably suffers from some form of dementia. And your solution is "we should pretend we didn't just watch the federal government attempt to hide that the previous president was clearly suffering from dementia"
So, I reiterate, I don't understand where you're coming from. But I'm starting to suspect you're just blue maga.
I'm happy to go through 30 speeches of Joe Biden with you and give him a full psychiatric evaluation with you. We can drink whiskey and discuss. My friend I would love nothing more than to do that with you.
Everything I love is fucking dying I cannot do this with you right now.
COMMUNIST REVOLUTION WEN?
Oh, you're mentally unwell. Ok then, carry on
If you think what was wrong with Joe Biden was a stutter...
You're ignorant of his entire political career, and all the people who have came clean about hiding his mental decline while in office.
https://www.vanityfair.com/news/story/joe-bidens-final-days
He got rid of the stutter long before entering politics. Literally 60 years ago
A stutter doesn't show back up in your late 70s when you havent had it since you were a teenager.
The reason trump and Biden are similar in how they speak, is they're both geriatric and should be in old folks homes already.
Stop yelling that your grandpa forgets to put pants on less than Timmy's grandpa like it's some kind of accomplishment
Sorry you're out here defending against bots or something. How anyone could forget the display of cognitive decline during the debate is beyond me. One of many.
It sucks because it's actual disinformation meant to sanitize the many valid reasons he failed, and it happens every time a neoliberal loses.
We can't afford to keep ignoring reality.
I wish you guys were half as tough and ready for this as you thought you were but man, commies are more disappointing than anyone right now.
I figured you guys would at least have some kind of organized resistance in the real world, but nah just on the internet talking about joe biden and the neoliberals while trump deports your friends for their first amendment rights being exercised 😂
Impotent.
And what are you doing to ensure dems don’t fuck it up again if we have an election in 2028?
When are you commies going to do your revolution? I saw more retirees than commies at the protest?
