It's hard to decide which line was his biggest flub, but I'd have to give it to "I have concepts of a plan."

[–] CaptDust@sh.itjust.works 170 points 1 month ago (2 children)

"I got involved with the Taliban" simply isn't a phase I thought I'd hear from a candidate, in any context.

[–] andrew_s@piefed.social 108 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I have concepts of a plan
Got involved with the Taliban

I didn't watch the debate, but I would've if I'd known it was a rap battle.

[–] ImplyingImplications@lemmy.ca 33 points 1 month ago

Epic Rap Battles of History is having their songs written for them

[–] circuitfarmer@lemmy.sdf.org 33 points 1 month ago

This. Openly saying he negotiated with a terrorist organization during a US presidential debate.

[–] rabber@lemmy.ca 76 points 1 month ago (5 children)

My favorite was "transgender surgeries on illegal aliens"

[–] TheColonel@reddthat.com 50 points 1 month ago (1 children)

In prison!

Such an incredible line.

[–] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

I kind of want to thank him for giving me that moment of live television. It was beautiful.

[–] qjkxbmwvz@startrek.website 15 points 1 month ago

Area 51 in shambles.

[–] Sway_Chameleon@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

It's like someone took a bunch of Republican grievance talking points and tossed it into a big nonsensical word salad of fear mongering.

SPHERES OF TERROR

[–] LiveLM@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

This one is the highlight for me.
Are "they" performing surgeries on prisoners and Trump sees them as aliens?
Or on Illegal immigrants and he sees them as aliens?
Or aliens like 👽🛸 aliens?

Ah, so many possibilities.

[–] scytale@lemm.ee 66 points 1 month ago (1 children)

My personal favorites were:

  • They’ll execute the baby
  • Leader in fertilization
  • Eating your pets
  • Performing transgender surgeries on illegals
[–] CaptDust@sh.itjust.works 41 points 1 month ago (1 children)

We all saw Harris executing this baby in his 78th year, why won't Dems talk about it?

[–] callouscomic@lemm.ee 8 points 1 month ago

She was just proving how pro-abortion she is by doing it to him on national television.

[–] usernamesAreTricky@lemmy.ml 64 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'd be inclined to agree. "They're eating the dogs" is also a good contender to anyone not into misinformation and racism

[–] Smokeydope@lemmy.world 26 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Oh so thats why there's an uptick of eating live pet memes today. I was wondering wtf was up with that.

[–] pdxfed@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Relax they're all in good taste

[–] Aceticon@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Just have to wash them with some lemon juice and maybe rub some garlic and it's all fine. (Source: I was an immigrant for over 20 years)

[–] dalekcaan@lemm.ee 35 points 1 month ago

My personal favorite was him responding to a fact check with "I saw it on TV."

[–] VerilyFemme@lemmy.blahaj.zone 209 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (4 children)

The funniest part was when he said he was speaking and asked to be allowed to finish. Then he started delivering his statement very calmly and quietly (for Trump), and it somehow ended with him ramping up for only these words and shouting "SHE WANTS TRANSGENDER OPERATIONS FOR ILLEGAL ALIENS IN PRISON." It's like being at grandpa's for dinner, he starts off pointing out the gas prices are high and one sentence later he's talking about Kamala's communist dictatorship that she modeled after Maoist China.

41 million illegal pets streaming across the border to eat foreign aliens and perform transgender operations on criminals they’re bussing in to vote democrat then performing 32nd trimester abortions on them.

EVERY MONTH

[–] pdxfed@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Just a giant sausage making machine of buzzwords, catchphrases and dog whistles.

THEY ARE COMING TO TAKE YOUR MOST FAVORITEST THING

[–] pdxfed@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Raindrops on roses? Whiskers on kittens?

[–] AlbertSpangler@lemmings.world 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

YES, THE KITTENS, THEY'RE EATING THEM

[–] medusa@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 month ago

BOILED IN BRIGHT COPPER KETTLES, HELD WITH WARM WOOLEN MITTENS, AND TIED IN BROWN PAPER PACKAGES FOR EASY LUNCH DELIVERY

[–] peteypete420@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

Brown paper packages tied up in strings?

[–] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

ILLEGALS EQUAL TO THE POPULATION OF NEW YORK STATE ARE POURING OVER OUR BORDERS EVERY DAY!

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 40 points 1 month ago

Real “THEY’RE TURNING THE FROGS GAY” energy.

[–] Sway_Chameleon@lemmy.world 26 points 1 month ago

Listening to him is to hear the sound of dementia.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

the mad libs candidate

[–] danc4498@lemmy.world 136 points 1 month ago (2 children)

It’s also funny how him acting normal included accusing democrats of performing abortions at 8 months and also murdering babies shortly after they’re born.

[–] spicytuna62@lemmy.world 88 points 1 month ago

Not to mention the transgender operations on illegal aliens that are in prison.

[–] peteypete420@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

The moderator checking him on that was hilarious. Made me think of Jason Batemans character from arrested development.

I realize as a mod she had different reasons for being quickly and quietly spoken but still.

[–] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 108 points 1 month ago (2 children)

What's scary is there are a ton of people who think he was coherent through the whole thing and deserves their vote still.

[–] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 92 points 1 month ago

I've had to cite this story too damn many times.

After the pussy grabber tape came out, a Conservative woman went on The View TV show to defend Donnie. One of the other panelists kept saying 'pussy' over and over. The Conservative woman finally had enough and demanded that the other lady stop using that offensive term.

They'll fly the 'POW/MIA' flag and still vote for the guy who likes soldeirs who didn't get captured.

Momma always said.

[–] Badeendje@lemmy.world 33 points 1 month ago

Can you imagine how other leaders play him like a cheap violin.

[–] Sway_Chameleon@lemmy.world 28 points 1 month ago

Acting normal for 3 minutes would be a record for Trump.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 18 points 1 month ago (1 children)

*puts on nerd glasses*

Like feeding a mogwai after midnight.

Then like sticking a sun lamp in front of the cocoon and putting it on strobe the minute the gremlin comes out.

[–] peteypete420@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I call bullshit. How could you have read the post without the nerd glasses on? Huh? Tell me how buddy.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

I wore the normal glasses.

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

Knowing that Banksy is working on his next masterpiece is one thing; seeing that masterpiece revealed for all and sundry is yet another.
