"How did you find out over the weekend that you were dead?"


Yesterday, in the Oval Office, Peter Doocy asked Trump: "How did you find out over the weekend that you were dead?... People didn't see you for a couple days, 1.3 million user engagements as of Saturday morning about your demise. "

TRUMP: "Really? I didn't see that. You know, I have heard — it's sort of crazy — but last week I did numerous news conferences, all successful. They went very well. Like this is going very well. And then I didn't do any for two days and they said there must be something wrong with him. Biden wouldn't do them for months. You wouldn't see him. And nobody ever said there was ever anything wrong with him. And we know he wasn't in the greatest of shape. No, I heard that. I get reports now. You knew I did an interview that lasted for about an hour and a half with somebody and everybody saw that was on one of your competitors. Uh I did numerous uh shows and also did a number of Truths, long Truths. I think pretty poignant Truths. No, I was very active over the weekend. They also knew I went out to visit some people at the at the club that I own pretty nearby on the Potomac River. And no, I've been very active actually over the weekend. I didn't hear that one. That's pretty serious...."

Also, at 31:20, Doocy gets another question and asks about the mysterious throwing of something out of a White House window. Trump notes that the windows are sealed shut, so "that's probably AI generated." 

Then, talkative as ever, he generalizes about using AI as an all-purpose explanation: "If something happens really bad, just blame AI. But also, they create things. You know, it works both ways. If something happens that's really bad, maybe I'll have to just blame AI. But there's truth to it because I see so many phony things. I saw something as I was growing up from the time I was a baby till now. I said, 'Who did that?' It was AI generated. So, it's a little bit scary to be honest."

Ha ha. I knew what he was talking about. Does he scroll through TikTok like I do? It's this:

Althouse, are you sure that's AI-generated? Trump's avatar doesn't have 12 thumbs.

Just like every other time the leftists ran with some stupid lie fed to them they will be back again with whatever lie their masters want them to run with.

And they will pretend like they aren’t liars.

The Russian collusion hoax wasn’t the first lie they told. It was just the one that let everyone see what had been going on for decades.

I find it interesting how ten years ago a single leftie originated snark or meme was capable of ending a Republican career. Now we’re saturation bombed with leftie memes, quips, and well funded war room generated scandals and nothing hits- like RPGs bouncing off the turret. Most of it would come and go without notice if it wasn’t promoted here…meanwhile conservative stuff hits, hard and has lefties whining they don’t have their own Joe Rogan, whatever that means to them…

Someone really should have asked Biden that.

There may never be another post to discuss here that doesn't have an AI angle to it. The old ways of "verifying" video content was not manipulated aren't useful on AI generated animation. Maybe the code-readers can ID generated content, but forensic tools developed over that last 50 years are now obsolete.

"Someone really should have asked Biden that."

When did someone honest even get an opportunity to question Joe Biden?

I just LOVE the question "How did you find out over the weekend that you were dead?" Good work, Doocy!

My husband says he has finally tumbled to Trump's strategy of playing with the left as if they're cats and he's got a laser pointer: sign a bunch of EOs that may or may not stand, but that universally cause the left to scramble for the side that the public thinks is insane (or worse). The risk, of course, is that their messaging (ahem) could prove successful in getting some significant part of the public to believe that he will defy, or has defied, the court on any of the EOs that have been ruled against. They do still own the media, and a lot of people do still get everything they "know" from traditional sources.

^^^ This.

When the Democrat Party covered for and defended this dishonest and vile old pedophile and his crooked wastrel of a son, they not only destroyed the legitimacy of the Democratic Party, but in some ways, the United States. If that crew could get hold of the seat of power, what does that mean?

Are we still doing the "sharp as a tack" thing?

Heh!

Today on CNBC, Ben Shapiro said those 1.3 million people want Trump dead.

This hatred for Trump is the craziest and most irrational thing ever in the political history of America. The Left lies about him constantly, but it works. The allegations that Trump will end democracy and is a dictator are insane.

I come back to "1984." If the Party can convince you that 2 + 2 = 5, the Party can get you to believe anything. That's what is happening today. Just look at this sex change stuff for children. The NE Dems wanted to die on that hill.

Trump's body double is outstanding!! Even Inga believes that Trump is still alive.

Trump ain't no ways hurty! RR, JSM

rehajm said...

I expected someone to invoke a ‘been greatly exaggerated’ over this episode but good to see nobody tried. I hope it’s because the episode wasn’t worthy but I suspect there’s also generous helpings of I have no idea what you’re talking about to go around…

rehajm said...

..present commentariat excluded rsm. I meant modern media types…

Peachy said...

Did you see Tim Walz celebrate and hope for Trump's death?

Bob Boyd said...

Holiday weekend
Passes. Word comes Trump is still
exchanging gases

Peachy said...

Little fact that our corrupt media(D) refuse to mention.
The Male in a dress MN child-murderer (mentally ill rage-filled leftist coward) - considered all soft targets and did not consider any schools that had armed guards.

Universally - the left do not want to protect our children with armed guards.

No - they want to blame "the gun" - and put a sign outside the school that advertises the soft target.
ie: " No guns allowed. Rage-filled/ or Mentally ill trannies - come on in!"

“Look, somebody actually came up to me — very respectfully, by the way, tears in their eyes — and said, ‘Sir, we heard you were dead.’ And I said, Dead? Nobody knows more about being dead than I do. Believe me. People are saying it, the best people. Some of the greatest dead people in history, they come up to me — Lincoln, Washington — they say, ‘Sir, you’re doing a fantastic job.’

And by the way, when I’m dead, it’s going to be the best death anybody’s ever seen. Very classy, very successful. Not like these other guys — very low-energy deaths. Mine will be tremendous. But I’m not dead, folks. I’m right here. Very much alive. In fact, many people are saying I’ve never been more alive.”

It is not crazy or irrational. It is standard history. It is the norm.

Leftists are just like every other ruling class in world history. It is not crazy to want to kill you political opposition. It is normal.

Some of us have risen above that and want a different kind of society. In order for us to have a free high trust society the barbarians have to go.

And here we have the dishonesty of the left showing itself.

Even now they can't be honest and use Trump's actual words, they have to make up their own. And you know that Ronald thinks he is reading Trump's mind here. Ronald lives in a dishonest world.

There is no contrition or apology for wanting Trump to be dead. Just more dishonesty.

Peachy said...

Did you see Rosie O'Donnell ranted lies about Trump being to blame for the MN shooting?

she retracted it all, & apologized in the manner of a clueless hive-mind.

Peachy said...

Indeed -the left live in a dishonest world of their own making.

someone said that after Trump wins -the mental health crisis in the US will be off the charts.

Gee wally how come
the lefties get no respect
on account of ward?

Kakistocracy said...

When he finally does die, his family will still send emails saying he was asking for money from above. And they will send it.

Iman said...

These MoFo lefties
with combination of lies
do they get egg rolls?

By now everything from the MSM about Trump is just background noise. Always negative. Rarely truthful. Sound and fury signifying nothing.

If you play hypocrisy bingo with the MSM, you'll win every time. They've become an unpaid DNC member at this point. They cover up the real news, and give us propaganda.

He'll probably end up like Elvis...dying while straining at stool.

Speaking of the MSM.

"In 3Q 25-to-date, broadcast network primetime ratings are down 51% yoy, reflecting declines at ABC (-12%), CBS (-1%), FOX (-32%) and NBC (-78%): Nilsen

They're done" - ZeroHedge

Take a lesson 'liberals,' there are limits to how long people will consent to be lied to.
