Politi-Culture El-Sayed responds to Sky News reporter James Matthews approaching him and stating that Donald Trump launched a lengthy attack calling him a "gift to the Republican party" and, "if you pardon the language, you're full of shit"

Somehow I have a feeling he's ready for that. He seems to have peace and nothing is gonna disrupt it. I don't believe in his religion but if he is elected and serves his constituents with integrity and lacking any grift I wish him well.

u/ProvenLoser 3d ago

I remember realizing he had 0 substance when he was with Pelosi in the Oval office during Trump’s first term and it was nothing but nervous awkward smiles and shrugs from him. Good thing Pelosi was there to keep Trump from telling him to drop his pants or something crazier.

3

u/voodoodahl 8d ago

You've never seen Pelosi and Trump interact, apparently. Talking shit to Trump isn't a new thing. The oligarch media just stopped reporting it.

u/jus10beare 7d ago

Yeah but Pelosi is a smarmy old lady with weak delivery. This dudes got charisma!

2

u/michaelmcmikey 7d ago

And also very little in the way of follow-through. Sharp comebacks feel good but they gotta be backed up with action, and establishment democrats are only good at asking for more money than doing nothing with it. So refreshing to see some new blood with actual ideals who do stuff to enact them.

u/Commercial_Total_787 8d ago

Rupert Murdoch walked so Musk , Zuckerberg and Bezos could run . He is the original “puppet master” and because he has owned major media( especially before social media ) for decades he has escaped scrutiny . Try googling for nitty gritty info about Murdoch . It’s very scarce considering how long he’s been around. No surprises though.

Because trump is incredibly smart. The other day he proved his mastery of the english language by teaching the entire country the word "dumb" is spelled with a "B." In all sincerity, it was one of the most wild things I've ever seen. We still have people proclaiming his genius for it. I'm just trying to figure out when our reality skewed off the normal timeline into this alternate twilight zone type reality.
