'Openly Admitting': Critics Rip Trump For 'Dehumanizing' Sunday Night Announcement

How many U.S. citizens are waiting outside of Home Depots and Loews to get below union wages construction gigs? Who are these folks disenfranchising?

Does the fact that there are workers out there that are willing to work for below union wages, either in construction or other jobs, affect the union wages offered by employers?

Sounds like more gate keeping.

People have their own agency and their own criteria for determining how to use it.

They don't need your criteria or your permission.
 
Some do for sure. Here in the NYC area you have some neighborhoods which have been Trump areas since 2016. Some parts of Brooklyn (Gravesend, Dyker Heights etc.) and Staten Island have been steady Trump supporting areas, but they're fairly small. Staten Island is probably the largest, but they're a suburb.

What seems clearer to me is Donnie Boy's pissed his party was upstaged and everyone went to the other one. It's clear as day because his post was vitriolic and that's the indicator it's not about serious issues, but about his ego.

Trump has always been and always will be an insecure narcissist, which leads to his bullying personality. He has no real interest in people or helping them. He is just their powerful troll in chief who gives them a thrill in their pathetic lives. His followers are a sad group of nobodies who think that trolling gives them power.

What sort of skilled labor do you imagine is waiting outside Home Depot?

Do you imagine you are grabbing these people to roof your house?
 
Staten Island.. ain't that Mini Moscow and run by the Bratva?

Sounds like you get all your information from Trump’s lies and propaganda and have no experience living in any city that Trump attacks. Your gate only opens for things that fuel your political bias based on Trump’s lies.

Gatekeeping? Lol. Sounds like a fascinating fiction.

That's nice. And since you have no agency in NY, Chicago nor LA, your opinion has been fed to you by pundits. Stay focused, please.

Come down to earth please. Make sense.

The reality here, proven by your words, is that you chastise your opponents for forming their opinions based on punditry when you are doing the exact same thing.
 

Who won in New York City?: See the vote count in the 2024 presidential election

Democratic candidates Kamala Harris and Tim Walz won the popular vote in New York City on Tuesday, but by a smaller margin over their Republican counterparts, Donald Trump and JD Vance, then in recent elections. Kamala Harris won 67.70% of the vote in New York City while Donald Trump won 30.45%...

NYC went 30% for Trump. That means even in the most liberal cities one out of nearly three voters is going for Trump and the percentages are growing.
 
That's been his MO prior to him getting into politics. Back in his business days he spend part of his time suing contractors so he wouldn't have to pay for services rendered. He's been a clown locally for as long as I can remember, and it's why for NYers it was hard to imagine someone of his poor character would make it this far.
 
His numbers did go up, but what we don't know is if that's a trend or the result of voters not being happy with Harris either. But sure, 30% out of 100%. Well done!

I can only guess because you won't answer the question, and the type of nonsense you're spewing sounds more of the kind that comes from someone who doesn't.

So you have had experience in all these “democrats run cities” that Trump tells you lies about. You are not any different than the rest of us in relying on other sources than your own eyes and ears for what is real news or propaganda. That you choose to believe Trump isn’t evidence that you rely only on your own eyes and ears. No one person can be their own source for news that happens in the world. Without outside news gathering organizations we would know very little beyond our neighborhoods, let alone the larger world. We all bring our own biases and blind spots to the information that we choose to consume or believe. It isn’t all based on our personal experiences.

Maybe the CEOs from Tyson and Cargill got to him with some free steaks and ketchup
 
The right-wing bleat of an imagined war against "Democrat-run cities" has fallen utterly flat.
Virtually every large city is "Democrat-run".
ANY "Republican-run" city has problems similar to all cities.
Trump is abusing the office he holds - again - in an attempt to gain political advantage.
But his declaration of war against blue cities will accomplish nothing, and only damage our country.
It's hard to know what the angry voices in his head are telling him, but we can be sure they are angry.
The country will be so much better off when he is gone.

Calling it fiction means you are gaslighting.

I am focused. You have no ability to determine anything about that.

No your mind reading fails here. You are literally having to imagine and tell people where you think they live to declare their agency and views shouldn't matter and count which is again, classic gate keeping.
 

You'll need to translate that to English. I don't understand ungrammatical rant.

So to clarify because I won't do what you want, I can't think what I want, know what I know and do what I do.

Got it.

Please provide a textbook example of gate keeping again. LOL
 
If Donny could get rid of half the country, he probably would. (He is seriously mentally disturbed.)
But he always needs an enemy, so, he would then create new enemy, and it would half of whoever is left.
Then repeat.
This is not going to end well.
 

No, the percentages are not growing. That is you speculating because you want it to be true. And why do you believe this source when you have no means to personally verify it? Is it because you cherry pick the things you like to see?

Well when you are the incumbent party and represent the continuation of that then we do know.

They literally had a choice between more of the same or a change.

More people chose the change and they chose it knowing what is prior term had been like. Trump was not a nebulous promise or just potential or hope. He was previously president.
