Trump Claims More People at His Rally Than at MLK's 'I Have a Dream' Speech

[itstony]

Trump is unhinged beyond belief at this point. His speech at the Faith and Freedom Coalition gathering was nothing more than bashing Pence and complaining about the media. He not only claimed his "Spaceforce" speech had more people in attendance than MLK's "I have a dream" speech, he also suggested his was better. This guy is nuts. Seriously, why do you Trump supporters not see the level of stoooopid, insecurity and delusion in this man and how can you support him?

Trump boasted that he drew larger crowds to his speeches than Martin Luther King Jr. did for the historic 'I Have A Dream' speech

Speaking in Nashville, former President Donald Trump boasted incorrectly about the crowd size for his speeches, including on January 6, 2021.

I could reinforce the OP, but don't want to bother. Its point is correct. We should improve our public education on things like civics and history. If we don't, Republicans will likely replace it with propaganda. Long before trump, they already did things like all but remove Thomas Jefferson from history books because they didn't like his religion.

 

[Loulit01]

At this point Trump is surreal. His acolytes are either wealthy and benefiting from the lowered capital gains tax and corporate welfare, or idiots voting against their own best interests.

I voted twice for The Donald.

And would so again in a New York minute if I could. (Dems are too soft on violent crime. I do, however, like their attempt to pay for seniors' caregivers. I am 85!)

BUT if it is true about what he supposedly said about crowd sizes, then I agree that there's a screw loose somewhere in his brain.

And it is really stupid to mention Dr. King in a negative manner like that. Doesn't he realize that a politician who needs every vote possible should not go around offending some people by saying more people came to hear him than to hear Dr. King? And to supposedly say that his speech was better than Dr. King's iconic "I have a dream" speech?

As a fair-minded journalist manque, I have to agree: Something is wrong with him.

You can listen to him say it right here:



Just for reference, the crowd size on Jan 6th is estimated to be around 10,000.... The NAACP march on Washington drew over 250,000...

That could be said of the Republican Party, not just trump.

Our right-wing friends will not respond to his aversion to the truth here, or about dozens of other crazy sgphit he says. But they believe him when he says the election was stolen from him. This inconsistency exposes their error, and for me anyone, engenders a sense of pity for them. To be so suckered by a man so utterly unwilling to separate ract from fiction.

This does explain why they so eagerly point out that "Trump was right." It happens so infrequently. You can't even be sure of it when they say it.

Really? This is what makes you think he has a screw loose? This is what it took? You didn't pick up on it at any point in the last, I don't know, decade?

Crime is mostly a local issue. Witness how little Trump could do to quell the riots that ran through the country on his watch. What little he did probably made them worse.

ROFLMAO, another anti Trump thread to divert from the Biden Disaster. Here's a scoop for you, I really HOPE that Trump doesn't run again BUT if he does and the alternative is any of the top rated Democrats including Sanders, Biden, Harris, Schumer, Pelosi, Warren, he WILL get my vote. Policies matter more to me that rhetoric

Was Trump correct in what he said about the crowd size comparison?

Of course not, why does it matter? Again how does rhetoric impact you negatively? why do you care more about what Trump said vs the policies he implemented?

Because my definition of evil and yours is quite different, I voted for policies none of Trump's were evil, you voted on rhetoric and liberal indoctrination. I don't know of any evil dictator that supported the American people more than Trump as that support showed up in their take home pay.

Former federal Judge Luttig has stark message for Jan. 6 committee

What they thought was irrelevant, what Trump said was ignored, PEACEFULLY was in the statement, why is that being ignored? This was the tweet brought up on day 1 of the January 6 docudrama where Trump was literally telling people to attack the capitol! He didn't once tell people to go home or...

The median annual wage was rising continuously long before Trump became president. You are giving him credit where none is due. He did, however, flub the response to the coronavirus pandemic costing hundreds of thousands of American lives and caused the first ever invasion of the Capitol building by insurrectionists in American history by lying about the results of a fair election in an attempt to undermine American democracy and seat himself as an unelected leader.

Anyone who would vote for Donald Trump after his performance during his last administration does not have this country's best interests at heart. Donald Trump is anti-American. He doesn't care about you, or any of his followers, some of whom are sitting in prison for their efforts. He doesn't care about this country, or red states, or conservatives. He is a criminal who cares only about himself. People who are so blind as to unquestioningly believe the Fox News propaganda are pitiable. They were useful idiots that Trump used and discarded.

LOL The radical left. Like Luttig? A conservative giant among the judiciary.

"Trump is clear and present danger to democracy"

That radical left?

And you blame your inability to get wage increases on Trump? Where did you get your education? His policies cut the FIT for all taxpayers and that is what he controlled not what you earn, that is your responsibility

Anyone who buys the liberal bullshit has no love for this country for liberalism is all about creating dependence and thus gaining power. Anti American? You mean putting America first and putting you in charge of your own personal responsibility issues?

See no evidence of that in his policies or the results from his policies, you focus purely on rhetoric and thus have no credibility. Results and facts win debates and court cases

He tried to overturn a US presidential election.

That is a show stopper for me.

I guess I'm just funny that way.

Not according to the link I sent you which you ignored because you want to believe the leftwing rhetoric not the actual tweets from Trump. You really think that 2000 or so protestors can overturn a U.S. Election? What is wrong with the radical left and this is why it has such poor credibility and makes fools out of people who buy that bs

There is more to it than just that. He is STILL lying about not losing the election.

Hey, freedom means you are allowed vote for a man who attempted a coup and will likely try it again.

I wish you would just be up front that you care more for a man than our electoral process.

 

[Bear5131]

Why the **** is Trump trying to compare himself with Martin Luther King?

One was one of the greatest men in world history

The other is just a New York liberal who never sacrificed anything in his life, and just is an attention whore who never had a original or creative thought in his head, If he wasn't born with a silver spoon in his mouth he would of been a used car salesman.

 

[TheParser]

As I (mis?)understand it:

1. He definitely did NOT tell the festive crowd to do anything violent in the Capitol.

2. The festive crowd just wanted to speak with their representatives.

3. The festive crowd was a bit too exuberant.

4. He and some others felt that the Vice President had the authority to reject the Electoral College votes. Most "experts" say that the Vice President's role is strictly ceremonial.

5. The whole incident was exaggerated by Trump haters -- understandably.

6. It was absurd to call it a coup. Let's say that they had succeeded in taking over both chambers. Then what? In a few minutes, some soldiers would have marched in there and put an end to that nonsense.

Much ado about nothing.
