Do you think Trump was right about Obama?

Trump resonantly said - "I think Obama will be voting for me because he doesn't like the fact that Kamala is an extremely Low IQ Person!". I think that is crazy talk. Cheers!

    As long as it is the topic being discussed (not just cursed about) and not the users, no one is moderated.  
    And anyone who feels they were moderated unfairly can always discuss it with JA. She is the boss here.

    Once again, I am being subjected to a lecture.

    The comment being removed was directed at the post, not the person who posted it.
    The word has been used on the site without moderation, including by the moderator, 
    The explanation given for removal was that is was condescending and dismissive,  a description which covers numerous comments directed at me, which were not moderated.

    That Fox interview that Kamala Harris will NEVER do airs Wednesday at 6 pm ET. 7 pm CT.

    If Trump really has a video that has content not aired for his 60 Minutes interview in 2020 which backs up his claims, he owes it to the country to release it.

    It is not necessary to lecture me on how answerMug works. I am tired of being talked down to, and that is one of the reasons I am reluctant to be completely open on this site. Being  ALLOWED to express my views is not the same as feeling comfortable doing it. I don't need you to tell me that I can choose how to respond, I am already choosing how to respond, which is mostly just presenting facts and context, not opinions.

    Well, good for at least daring to go on the network
     It is Bret Beir so still a bit of friendly territory, but I give her the credit for going on the network.

    For someone who hasn't watched Fox in years, you seem to have an opinion on their hosts. When is Trump going on MSNBC ?

    Brett Beir is not a new host. He has been there many years. As have all of their hosts.  Just now in different time slots (or moved to a daily show of their own)
    I also know who the regular hosts are on MSDNC, CNN, Newnation, etc.  

    Trump has released it. I have seen it played many times. But just recently learned the video was what Trump recorded of the complete interview. (Something I have said for 20yrs every politician should do) I thought for years that it had aired on 60 minutes.

    Edited to remove asking for a link and replace with this response.

    I just remembered that he did release it. I found it and watched it again. I won't comment, except to say that it does not change my view and IMO, does not support his excuse for turning down an interview. And, yes I know, I a, entitled to my opinion.. 

    If anyone else wants to see it, it is embedded in this article.

    There is no  video in the vogue link.

    PRESIDENT TRUMP: Take a look at what’s going on, Lesley. And then you say that —

    STAHL: I think…

    PRESIDENT TRUMP: It’s the biggest scandal out there, Lesley.

    STAHL: And you think it’s the biggest issue to campaign on?

    PRESIDENT TRUMP: I think it’s — I think it’s one of the biggest scandals I’ve ever seen, and you don’t cover it. You won’t talk about it.

    STAHL: Well, because it can’t be verified —

    PRESIDENT TRUMP: You want to talk about insignificant things.

    STAHL: I’m telling you —

    PRESIDENT TRUMP: Of course it can be verified. Excuse me. They found the laptop. Lesley, listen.

    STAHL: Can’t be verified.

    PRESIDENT TRUMP: What can’t be verified?

    STAHL: The laptop.

    PRESIDENT TRUMP: Why do you say that? Even the family has — the family, on the laptop, he’s gone into hiding. For five days he’s gone into hiding.

    STAHL: He’s preparing for your debate.

    PRESIDENT TRUMP: Oh, it’s taken him five days to prepare. I doubt it. I doubt it.

    The video is farther down where there are Trumps Facebook posts, but thanks for posting an easier link. I gave my opinion and as I said, I won't comment further

    The vogue link doe not show me a video of the interview,  Trumps or 60mins...it shows me a video of Billie Eillish. 
    They maybe show different video for some reason.

    This is in response to the post that  Kamala Harris " will never do a Fox interview."
    I just read today that she is doing an interview with Fox News.

    Yes I heard that as well. And I do give her credit for it even for her choice in interviewers.  Brett Bier is not a Trump fan so someone on her team made a good call there. 
    We will see if it is edited (it is pretaped) and if she gets any hard questions today.

    The debate in June is proof of Biden's cognitive decline. 

    Trump is doing rally after rally after rally right now and he sounds great. Makes perfect sense....the left may not agree with him, but Trump all there mentally.

    Oh my!  So Trump really believes the Democrats are going to ban cows and windows in buildings? Or does he just think his supporters will believe it? Either way...

    Cows....I am sure you have you heard of the Green New Deal.  Yes, there are Dems who want to ban cows because they fart/burp too much etc. 

    And yes also for climate change/global warming there have been calls by some to ban or limit the amount of windows in buildings.    

    People can claim that is nuts all they want. But it is their policies he is calling out.

    Neither one of those is a policy that Harris supports. There have been suggestions by some experts as well as a former NYC mayor, to stop building all glass buildings. For years and years there have been those who think cattle production is bad for the environment for more reasons than the methane gas. But accusing Harris of wanting to ban beef and windows is not true. And trying to get people to believe this is an imminent possibility is laughable.

    And Trump did not say specifically Kamala wants to ban cows or windows.  He said Democrats (as you accurately said above).....there are indeed Democrats who want to do both.

    The are Republicans who think the world is flat, but it's not a talking point at Harris rallies.

    I am sure there are, there are idiots on both sides. 

    But no Republican is trying to pass laws saying we have to force anyone else to believe the Earth is flat. 

    Dems have written bills to limit/ban windows in buildings  and ruled/laws about cows and their supposed greenhouse emissions.

    Just because I am choosing not to continue this conversation does not mean you can assume anything about my views, except that I do not believe things are always simple as you present them.

    Fair enough. 

    But for any one else following this thread, Trump's statements about banning cows and windows was not an example senility as the media is trying to make it out to be. 
    It is another example of why many people no longer trust much of the media.

    Well, perhaps these comments of Trump's will be more convincing that he's not all there mentally:

    Trump claims that he defeated Barack Obama in an election, called Hamas "hummus", and claimed that wind turbines were killing whales "in numbers never seen before."

    "The late, great Hannibal Lecter is a wonderful man. He often times would have a friend for dinner."

    Trump belittles auto workers, saying they just assemble parts “out of a box” and says children could do their jobs: “We could have our child do it”

    He trashed the City of Detroit while speaking at an event in Detroit.

    he urged his supporters to show up at the ballot box to cast their votes for him on JANUARY 5 when election day is November 5.

    Trump has called for sanctioning a day of violence at the hands of law enforcement to address crime in the United States.

    He accused Haitians of eating people's pets.

    Trump warned that there would be a "bloodbath" if he loses in the 2024 election.

    And if that's not sufficient, here's a clip:  https://twitter.com/i/status/1764295156981723453
