Transcript:

When we made this it was made during my term my first term. And it was so sad because I said can you imagine I’m not going to be president and uh that’s too bad. And then what happened is, they rigged the election and I became president. So that was a good thing, that was a good thing, that was quite a uh quite an achievement for both of us.

So I’ll be president during the World Cup and during the Olympics which we were very instrumental in getting and then of course uh we have our 250th birthday too and of that I wasn’t instrumental, that just happened to fall in the same time.

So we have the three those three big events you don’t get very much bigger than that the Olympics the World Cup and number 250 and it’s a great honor. But I appreciate you’re selecting us. And we were selected a long time ago though,during during the term during my first term and uh it’s an honor to be with you.

    No voting history and you’re coming into a very quiet community immediately. What do you think I’m thinking?

    Edit: I’m going to lock it. I think everyone has said their side and I haven’t deleted anything. Make your decisions off of what has already been said and upvote/downvote to your heart’s content.

    Holy shit, he’s excited about telling everyone. I knew this to be true, but now that he admits it, will anyone listen? He said the quiet part out loud again.

    • Months before he said to his base that they shouldn’t worry about the election. It’s all taken care of. This was way before Biden was showing the old.
    • His minions were fucking with every election they could on the getting into places of power side, something had to get through.
    • Their lawyers, judges and anyone else already elected were messing with the election on the legal side.

      What? They weren’t even showing this part in the headline. It wasn’t part of their story.

      Do you have a source on that since it was posted 13 hours ago?

      Edited to add posting date.

        https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2025/jan/21/social-media/trump-didnt-admit-to-rigging-the-election-during-h/

        He’s just stupid. He made the same claim before when talking about the World Cup and Olympics.

        He’s talking about the 2020 election being rigged (no, it wasn’t) which made it so he’s president during those events. He’s saying if 2020 wasn’t rigged he’d have been President before they occurred and not during.

        It’s not the gotcha you want it to be. He just dumb.

          Again, why are you giving him the benefit of the doubt? He doesn’t deserve it. He said he was going to be a dictator day one, he is. He said Project 2025 is awesome and he’s going to use it as a guide, he did. Why would you?

          Edit: Also, it didn’t “debunk it,” it’s just saying what people want others to think. FFS, he doesn’t deserve any of you sticking up for his stupidity being the culprit. Go. after. him.

            I’m not. He literally said the same thing before and the context supports it.

            You’re engaging in wishful thinking.

              In this thread:

              • He didn’t mean it like that (why would you give him the benefit of the doubt?)
              • He’s stupid and saying nonsense (He said he would use 2025 as a guide, he is. He said he would be dictator day one, he is. He’s even trying to have a 3rd term. He is dismantling our government.)
              • This was “debunked” (LMFAO, it’s just an opinion link saying it was debunked)

              I have never seen so many comments and downvotes on a thread in this community so quickly after it was posted.

    I think the defense will be that “they” referred to Biden in 2020. Ie Trump was expecting to not be president in 2026 because he would have already served two terms, but Biden winning in 2020 meant that Trump was able to be president in 2026, after winning in 2024.

    No politician should ever be that sloppy with their words though.

      ORRRR, he could have meant it that he cheated? Why are we giving him the benefit of the doubt?
