Regardless of context, he did say those words in that order.

      He did indeed.

      Hey folks, this fucker has committed so many obvious harms and constantly lies… this was clearly a misstatement. It causes fatigue when questionable shit like this is harped on especially when he flat out says even worse shit.

      The territory to the immediate south of our border is now dominated entirely by criminal cartels that murder, rape, torture, and exercise total control. They have total control over a whole nation, posing a grave threat to our national security. The cartels are waging war in America and it’s time for America to wage war on the cartels, which we’re doing.

      That, he fucking said that out loud and on purpose.

      This again? I think he meant Biden’s election, but he got the sequence of words mixed up.

      Yeah, people fixating on the rigging part and not on the trump can’t even form a coherent sentence part is kinda weird.

    I’ve been saying that since Nov. 6. Without a doubt, something shady was going on.

    Seems more likely he’s talking about 2020 here. If Elon had said it, I’d think otherwise, but it isn’t really Trump’s MO to be subtle. He’s gotten away with not being subtle his whole life of failing upward.

      they said, ‘Can you imagine? I’m [you’re] not going to be president. And that’s too bad.’ And 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 an achievement for both of us. So I’ll be president during the World Cup.

      absolutely referring to 2024 here. no doubt whatsoever.

        they said, ‘Can you imagine? I’m [you’re] not going to be president [for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics]. And that’s too bad.’ And what happened is, they rigged the election [in 2020], and I became president [again in 2024]

        Absolutely referring to 2020 here. No doubt whatsoever.

        (To be clear, claims of 2020 fraud are bullshit… But so are claims of 2024 fraud)

    I’ll be honest… I don’t care if he was talking about 2020 or 2024, or even if he was straight up admitting to rigging the election himself. Any nefariousness you want to read into that quote doesn’t matter, because it’s either not there, or he got away with it. Harping on the context is pointless, regardless of what he may or may not have meant by it.
