He's so transparent. The internal polling must be showing him getting murdered among women, prob worse than the national polling shows.
That or he's just stung by the implications of being unpopular with women.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Or voting, or going to school, or owning things or...
Yeah, they'll be worried about keeping their right to vote.
Which was gained through protest. Just felt I'd add that because I hear, even from some women, that they don't know what good protest does. I don't understand how people can be so ignorant. Standing on the shoulders of those that came before them yet completely pissing on their head!
Honestly some of these folks need to rewatch Mary poppins just for exposure to .000001% of that movement.
Raised by whom though? Who failed to teach these lessons to this generation?
Gained through protest in a completely different time, though.
Today, the establishment has much better tools at their disposal to delegitimize, vilify and ridicule even big protest movements through propaganda.
Which just makes protesting all the more important. A movement isn't going to move unless it gets proper recognition, and that doesn't happen via Internet messages and lawn-side signs.
Can you really call it a 'signature all-caps style' when it's nearly impossible to distinguish from any crazy person's online forum screed?
We can call it the concept of a style
Well, I’d argue that he’s not just some crazy online rando but a previous and possibly future president of the United States, which makes a teeny-weeny bit of a difference here.
I get where you're coming from, but he also happens to own the forum. and the fact that millions of actual “regular people” spend their days proliferating his garbage nonsense is yet another distinction between Trump and any other crazy person online.
In fact, it’s the proliferation of online propaganda that even makes you consider Trump to be comparable to a regular person in the first place when he is anything but.
It's a "signature style" when it's made in Trump, and "sparkling schizophrenia" when it comes from anywhere else.
I don't know what is worse, that he thinks women get abortions because they are sad or that he forgot he was president in 2020 when they were sick, poor, and depressed.
The veil is so thin. That is a clear threat to women’s rights. This asshole needs to get squashed in November
You know what, fuck it I'll say it, the bullet missed because it knew it was too good for him.
2 inches away from a better world
I've said this before, and I'll say it again. Trump is WORSE dead than alive. And even much worse if assassinated instead of dying of natural causes. Be careful with what you wish for. Do you think his cult followers are bad now?? How do you think they'll be if they get their Jesus-like martyr?
The perfect example is Venezuela. Go ahead, read about Chávez and what happened after he died.
I want that guy IN PRISON and stewing in bitterness til the end of his time.
My wish would be that after he loses this election - and I think would truly become unable to run again (because at that point I think almost everyone would be able to admit he’s too old) - that everyone simply forgets about him. His ongoing trials would get no more than a blip in coverage, whether he’s sentenced to jail or slapped with probation, it barely gets talked about. There can be no worse punishment from that man’s perspective than screaming into a void and no one hears him and no one cares.
This is a total pipe dream, but I am willing to turn off any news program, ignore any news link and not buy any newspaper that has an article about him if it contributes to ignoring him until he turns into an old useless husk and departs from this world. I wish it could be done now but people still need to be consistently reminded how dangerous he is until their vote is locked in this November.

He'll be a martyr in prison, too. He needs to have a massive, disabling stroke so his followers can see him look irredeemably weak.
I bet they still rally around their God-Emperor.

And like I've said before you can what-if martyrdom all you want, but whoever comes after him won't have the the history and boomer-mania he has. You think Vance or DeSantis can lead the maga moron collective stupidity the Trump voter base contains? No.
Trump has the half-century of being a garbage human in the public sphere that is propped mainly by old people now also in the twilight of their lives that wanted to be like him in the 80s. Him staying relevant makes their outdated racism and intolerance acceptable in a world t:hat is moving forward and saying "enough is enough"

"...because we will make that illegal."
They’ll make being un-pregnant illegal.
Oh is he rolling out free child care, healthcare?
Don't forget food for children at home and in schools!
Paid parental leave for both parents too, I'm sure!
Damn, and he just threw in the 3-day workweek too. I totally misjudged the guy
Your face putting off women from having sex is not the same thing as getting them to not think about abortions.
I'm sure that's true.
I think people in China don't think about crimes the CCP punishes with the death penalty much either.
Is it just me or do the loudest voices about abortion just stand as living examples of why (their) abortion should have happened?
What he meant to say: When he is elected again, women won't be allowed to think.
So, it's all just a stream of fucking nonsense, isnt it? I gotta wonder how its like for folks actually there. They arent even listening, are they?
My friend has a theory that he doesn't even have thoughts in the conventional sense. He speaks by simply stringing sounds together that he thinks sounds good.
he's an LLM
One that's been trained on its own output for too long.
Didn't he call it "weaving"? Had linguistic "friends" who said he was a "genius" because he brings in so many "topics" and "ties" them all back together? Huh, lotta quotes up there. Almost like it's sarcasm.
So he is going to make it a thought crime?
Have to wonder how long his clueless ass would survive if his handlers walked out
"Won't have to think about it" or "don't even think about it" if he's president?
Execution of child after birth.... Yeah I missed that talking point at the DNC.
He had them at "women won't even think..."
I play a game where I think of the dumbest shit to say when I think of a topic and I'll be he wins every damn time. Must be a natural idiot.
If you read everything he says as Zack Brannigan from Futurama, it makes it hilarious.
Is that Zapp Brannigan's older, less charismatic brother?
A thought crime is exactly what Americans need right now.
They will think of it more.
If elected, America's collective libido will be completely destroyed. Because no one will be having sex, no one will be thinking about abortion.
I suppose it's technically true, in a very dark, dark way.
Because you can't think once you're dead: https://www.propublica.org/article/georgia-abortion-ban-amber-thurman-death
