Trump Says It's 'Ridiculous' He 'Had to Leave' the White House
Donald Trump spoke Tuesday at the Atkinson Resort & Country Club in southern New Hampshire a day after his landslide victory in the Iowa caucuses.
Rolling Stone spoke with diehard Trump supporters who waited hours in the snow to watch the former president stump in New Hampshire
Fresh off a historic victory in the Iowa caucuses, former President Donald Trump traveled to New Hampshire and complained to his supporters that he had to leave the White House after losing the 2020 election.
Fans had lined up for hours outside in the snow for a chance to see the presumptive Republican nominee in person — excited over his Iowa win, appearing confident he will once again be president.
During his speech, Trump said it “was ridiculous that we had to leave, but we had to leave, we have to follow the laws of our land.” He quickly doubled down on his 2020 election lies: “They don’t investigate the people that cheated in the election. They investigate the people that understand they cheated and go after them. But they don’t investigate the people who cheated like hell. We have to have fair and free elections.”
Of course, Trump is being prosecuted for attempting to rig the 2020 election and overturn the results in key swing states — and as Rolling Stone has reported, he and his allies are working diligently to predetermine the results of the 2024 election and make sure they favor Trump.
“He’s a family man,” Jerry Bolduc says about Trump. “He believes in God and in America first. And that’s what I’m all about.”
It's like his fans don't actually know the first thing about him...
196or the second, third, fourth and fifth things.
The only thing that's true about Trump being a family man, is he wants to fuck his daughter. Which, to be honest, is rather biblical.
81I heard an interview the other day where an Iowan trump supporter claimed that Trump was respected by the rest of the world. lol.
33As someone from Europe, he's absolutely not lmao
12They think fear is respect or they are pointing to the fascist minority factions within those countries as their source of information. Let's call it The Fascist International.

Its so funny how he refuses to name his favorite/any known to him Bible verses. Refuses to be pinned down aha
27Everything that seems stupid or outrageous about Trump just clicks into place one you've accepted the mandatory foundational bullshit. These people didn't reason themselves into their position, they were looking for something to believe together. It's just too bad all that faith is wasted on this asshole.
24They live in some sort of alternate reality where they are blind to facts, I just don't understand how they arrive at the conclusions they make. It just doesn't make any sense what so ever. It is going to be studied for generations as a warning for the rest of us.
12The worst part is, you can't tell them different. "Family man? You know he cheated on his pregnant wife with a porn star, right?"
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/commentary-why-evangelicals-stick-with-trump-despite-stormy-daniels/
"Perhaps most astonishing, a recent YouGov poll found only half of Trump voters said Trump cheating on his wife with Stormy Daniels would be immoral, even if it did happen. After everything they've learned about him, 56 percent of Trump supporters believe the phrase "moral leader" describes the president either "very well" or "extremely well." "
9I like the optimism, that we have generations left.

His supporters don't even know what they're about. They can't think on their own because they've been taught to follow without question.
5They can't say "I like abusing women and minorities and wish it was a more acceptable hobby so I'm voting Trump" -- the Unite the Right rally showed them that plausible deniability builds platforms and going mask off takes them away.
But they can say clearly bullshit things like this and everyone does them the favor of pretending they actually mean it.
If someone doesn't politely play along, they've been coached at how to manipulate their way out of it with by saying things like "the left just calls everyone they don't like a Nazi".

I never see anyone bring this up, and I truly understand that all of our logical arguments don't work on Trump's supporters, but election fraud at the level of a Presidential election? The fuck?!
What does that even look like? How was it done? How were several thousand key people, at the very least, convinced to fake it for Biden and yet no one has stepped forward in guilt? How has the entire Trump machine not been able to unearth the slightest bit of evidence?
One redditor broke it down succinctly in 2020, "We're smart enough to have faked it and didn't eliminate Mitch McConnell?!" These people literally don't understand that all those votes are scored on the same ballots.
I can go on all night, but I know this, Bill Clinton couldn't get a bj in the Oval Office and keep it quiet.
77He made up stories in 2016 that Hillary bussed in millions of immigrants to vote in California, which is why he lost the state no republican has won since Bush the first, who was riding high on Regan's afterglow.
The pure raw logistics of bussing millions of people anywhere, for any reason, especially on the same day is mind boggling. Pretending that it was done in a stunningly populous state during an election and no one anywhere had any proof of it when ubiquitous camera phones exist, when he already won the election, was mind blowing.
Thats where his lies come from. Pure, raw unchecked ego, with no connection to the world itself. His base wants to believe, so they do, and they more they do, the more he can lie about. Rinse, repeat, until we are now at la la land.
36Honestly the craziest part of that lie, to me, was how electable it should have made Hillary sound. She led the coordination of a million person movement in one day for a major event, at so low a cost that it was unnoticeable in any budget, and so seamlessly that no one noticed it happening at the time? That makes her sound like a logistical and strategic badass.
25He made up stories in 2016 that Hillary bussed in millions of immigrants to vote in California, ...
Math!
- If a coach bus carries 60 passengers, and there are two million people ("millions") to be bussed, that would require 33,334 buses.
- Since each bus requires a driver, that means 33,334 bus drivers.
- At 45 feet per bus, that's over 284 miles of buses.
- If the buses get 6 miles per gallon, and each bus needs to travel a mere 60 miles, that's a total fuel usage of 333,340 gallons of fuel.
- Gas and diesel were both around $2.75 a gallon in 2016, which means that the fuel cost alone for this very generous hypothetical scenario would be $916,685.00.
19And the easiest way to bust that conspiracy is to ask:
Why send them all to blue California, and not to any red states?
Do you know how many low-populations states like Wyoming and the Dakotas could be flipped blue with just a few tens of thousands more Democratic voters? It makes no sense to send them to a state you're already going to win, when you can thin them out and win several states
2What happened next pa? Well son as always it was projection and they were the ones busing immigrants around the country.

You're talking about people who literally think there's body doubles ruling the country or second military systems with one controlled by Biden and another still by Trump.
The education entrance polling for the Iowa caucuses was eye opening, even being in line with what I expected.
Have a post-graduate degree? 75% Voted for someone other than Trump.
Didn't go to college? 75% Trump.
24Not enough non-white representation to be properly aggregated.
Hard stance against immigration.
His support of 'people like them' captures 80% of reasons why they're voting.
It all adds up to them disliking people they have no actual interaction with because the news makes them scary. Just raw, unashamed bigotry marching for the Oval.

It's ridiculous he was there in the first place.
72And it's about to happen again because ideologically "pure" leftists constantly fall for right-wing propaganda and fail to understand the real world impacts of harm reduction.
Isn't life in the 21st century just so fucking grand?

FFS, would someone eliminate this insane clown already...
39The answer is usually that someone else would simply take his place. Not happening here. The GOP can't even post a plausible 2nd place candidate.
15People absolutely LOVE that line of logic. "Well if Putin were deposed, he's just be replaced by someone just as bad!!!!1111". In reality, some people are unique set of skills, and who ever would move into Putin's role wouldn't have those skills, and wouldn't make the same decisions as he would have.
The same thing applies to Trump, he's uniquely terrible, and none of the other GOP candidates even come close in terms of the type of damage they'd do as president vs what Trump will do. None of those other candidates would unify all the crazy MAGA people like Trump does. So in this instance, he's singular, he's terrible, and he really needs to stop being in the spot light, and just fade away. He's already inflicted more damage on the United States then any foreign enemy could have dreamed of. Another term of that clown would be catastrophic.
3Yeah, where's Paul Ryan at? He crawled under a rock after stumping for Russia.

I'm legit surprised nobody has had a decent crack at it
2
we have to follow the laws of our land
Yeah, but you don't.
31He quickly doubled down on his 2020 election lies: “They don’t investigate the people that cheated in the election. They investigate the people that understand they cheated and go after them. But they don’t investigate the people who cheated like hell. We have to have fair and free elections.”
wut
20Don't you understand? If you don't vote for him you're obviously too dumb to understand that you cheated.
12
Traitor swine needs to be locked the fuck up.
17Yeah, the law and the Constitution. So ridiculous to have it applied to special snowflakes like Orange Jesus, too.
16Trump said it “was ridiculous that we ... have to follow the laws of our land.” and there you have it.

“Historic Iowa victory”. He won 51% out of some 110k votes. In 2020 he won 98% of far more votes there.
Yeah he won, but it’s not the anointment it’s being reported as being. The result suggest many GOP voters sitting out or preferring options.
That said they WILL coalesce around the nominee because they always do while the left will still be cats in a bag.
13Ok, sure man, whatever you say, old man screaming at the cloud.
12I thought he said it was a dump

This is the best summary I could come up with:
Fresh off a historic victory in the Iowa caucuses, former President Donald Trump traveled to New Hampshire and complained to his supporters that he had to leave the White House after losing the 2020 election.
Fans had lined up for hours outside in the snow for a chance to see the presumptive Republican nominee in person — excited over his Iowa win, appearing confident he will once again be president.
Dozens of Trump supporters stood outside the venue for hours Tuesday as heavy snow fell, leaving thick ice on attendees’ cars.
During his speech, Trump expressed confidence he’ll win New Hampshire next week, but he called on his supporters to help him build a significant margin of victory.
“Nikki Haley is counting on the Democrats and liberals to infiltrate your Republican primary,” Trump warned during his speech Tuesday, adding it is “artificially boosting her numbers here.”
The pro-Trump super PAC Make America Great Again Inc. has been running ads in New Hampshire attacking Haley on immigration, using language similar to the Adolf Hitler-like “poisoning the blood” rhetoric Trump has employed on the campaign trail.
