Trump podcast just dropped and it’s already at 6.5m, 1mil views per hour
Gonna be huge
Democrats are trying to lose the election.
I really think they’re okay with a trump presidency.. think about it.. major donors and super pacs like AIPAC fund both candidates for the most part.

Re: The US Politics Thread
When Kamala took over she seemed to have a message of "we're bringing back hope, optimism and good vibes", which led to the famous "brat summer".
I thought this message resonated. People were tired of being forced to choose between a narcissist and a senile man.
But lately she's gone back to the failed Biden playbook of "Trump is bad for democracy", which is true, but is also a) old news and b) not a reason to vote for Kamala but rather against Trump.
I feel strongly that Kamala's best strategy is to go "in the last 8 years politics has become divisive, violent and just plain exhausting. Vote for me and get a normal america back and get your mental sanity back". Give people a reason to vote for her and the change she represents.
That's not the strategy she's pursuing. I think she'll lose but I hope I'm wrong. We'll find out in a week.

Kamala's strategy: I am not Trump therefore vote for me.
Hilarious and gutless strategy with her cringe attempts at speaking to normal society and larping her way along at bars and restaurants.

The only good thing that will come out of a Kamala loss is that all these moron former Hillary staffers giving her terrible advices will get discredited in the media and bashed relentlessly. they're the biggest impediment to Democratic Party moving in the right direction.

It kind of makes sense. At the same time, I would've thought they would at least try to hide their bias somewhat, as a "professional company". It's probably the most viral video on Youtube, ever - and yet, they've gone out of their way to not make it show up on their frontpage

Trump was the one who negotiated the withdrawal. He even gave the order for the immediate withdrawal of all troops after he lost in 2020, even after the Taliban didn't live up to the agreement.

I typed "Rogan Trump" on YouTube and the first autocomplete result was "Rogan Trump interview" and the first result was the entire interview. Ignoring the autocomplete, it gave a bunch of clips about the interview.

Just had a peek at it. honestly most of the interview was super boring stuff. i'm surprised Trump even accepted sitting down for 3 hours for this interview.
I'm not a Rogan listener but i know he leans right-wing so it was obvious he wouldn't ask him many challenging questions. but overall his style of just letting the guests talk uninterrupted doesn't fit these types of interviews imo.

Trump gave the order and it was a good decision but he wasn't there to oversee the procedure, that's the entire point. He talks about it in the podcast, about his conversations with the generals etc.

Yea i listened to that part. he said the generals told him it would have been more expensive to transport the military equipment out of the country so they just left them for the Talibans. unbelievable

After Trump lost the election, he gave an order for the immediate withdrawal of all US troops. It was such a dumb thing to do that the Pentagon told him it couldn't be done. I'm not excusing Biden's role in this shitshow, there's plenty of blame to go around, but the idea that Trump would have handled the actual withdrawal any better is asinine.

He said they said it would be cheaper to leave the planes behind rather than fly them home. It's possibly the single stupidest thing i have ever heard, ever

A sign that you might be in the echo chamber. in all honesty i don't think it would have unfolded in any different way had Trump been in charge, Taliban was gonna take over the moment US started lifting soldiers out of the country, they saw an opportunity and took it.
They don't call it the graveyard of empires for no reason. add it to the long list of stupid American wars that contributed to nothing.

Thats why you take the equipment out first piece by piece and then soldiers.
Biden inherited the withdrawal plan, extended it and the rest is history.
I'm not saying Trump would've handled it perfectly but we can only judge what happened and what happened happened

What is he even trying to say in the first half? Did he almost claim he's Puerto Rican? He's well and truly past it. Probably not fit to be president right now.
Also managed to give Trump ammunition a week from the election. Cool.
Joe Biden wrote:“Just the other day, a speaker at his rally called Puerto Rico a floating island of garbage. Well, let me tell you something, I don’t, I don’t know the Puerto Rican that I know, the Puerto Rico where I’m fr -- in my home state of Delaware. They’re good, decent honorable people,” he said.
The president then added: “The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters. His demonization of Latinos is unconscionable, and it’s un-American. It’s totally contrary to everything we’ve done, everything we’ve been.”

Dems were going in strong on the garbage stuff, then Biden goes and calls half the country garbage, smh
It is entirely possible that this guy is undoing Kamala intentionally.

Did he just call half of Americans garbage? My president
I lurked on Reddit and they seem to think this PR thing will have an impact? Some comedian said it, and Peurto Ricans don’t even vote in the election bc it’s not a state
Kamala is easily winning if you read Reddit. I think they are incredibly detached

Puerto Ricans can vote if they don't live in Puerto Rico.
It sounded like Biden wanted to say, "The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters' demonization of Latinos."
He's clearly not fully there. Too bad he didn't drop out much earlier.

I remember 3 years ago when Biden made Kamala the "border czar" some people speculated he gave her an impossible problem to solve because he felt threatened by her. Not sure if it's true or not, but it might cost her the election too.
Biden is a lead lifeboat.
