  2. His yes-men are likely a little too good at their jobs by now.

  3. Crushed your chances of getting the black vote, maybe. Crushed your chances of getting elected, hopefully. Crushed your chances of not looking racist, absolutely. Crushed your chances of not looking weird, 100% guaranteed.

  5. Crushed what? The Adderall he snorted to stay awake?

  6. Of course. We aren’t the only people he lies to. He lies to himself as well.

  7. The only thing his team is crushing is Adderal and couch cushions. Man they are really weird.

  8. I mean he will be in the news for all the wrong reasons. He truly believes there is no such thing as bad publicity.

  9. They could have literally booed him off the stage, thrown tomatoes at his head and douced him with salad dressing and he’d be going “Man, I crushed it.”

    People like this live in an alternate reality – as do his followers.

  10. His staff is only going to tell him what he wants to hear otherwise they get screamed at so of course he said this.

  12. Radiohead should let Trump use Creep as his intro music.

  13. I feel like Michael Richards said the same thing after his set at the Laugh Factory.

  14. His base will eat this up and think he did wonderful. Remember, they don’t need to worry about votes because he’s fixing it.

  15. The first rule of ruling MAGA world is you never ever ever admit defeat. He could have shit his pants and soiled his big-boy shoes with it on air and he just would have said he did it to own the libs.

  16. His appeal with black voters? Yes, you crushed that.

  18. Out of the hundreds of comments on the r/conservative sub only about 15 “trump did a great job” comments are still up. 

    Nobody is surprised a poor showing by Trump is being portrayed as him “killing it”. If by it, they mean his poll numbers over the next few weeks, yeah he killed it. 

  19. He spent his first 2 minutes complaining, attacking the interviewer and lying about why it was late. And then it went downhill to where it lasted just barely half the scheduled time.

    CRUSHED IT.

  20. His physiological issues will not allow him to admit any thing other than winning.

  23. He’s brilliant in the way that he just lies and lies and then reinforces his lies to his followers. SOS every time and they eat it up.

  24. I see his point. With Biden out of the race, this interview pretty well locked up the ‘confused elderly man’ voters.

  25. Because being contentious as a distraction from his horrible felonious facism *is* a win for him

  26. That comment also needed to be met with laughter.  And probably with an additional “you are soo WEIRD!” 

    Addendum: It’s annoying that the only effective way of engaging these people is to act like we are in 3rd grade and learning proper socialization.

  29. It was so bad it should tank him like Biden’s debate, but cults gonna cult.

  30. This is Trump’s MO: never apologize and never admit you were anything but perfect. I guarantee, in his puny mind, he knows how bad he did

  31. Guaranteed that performance is gonna get the last three racist trump holdouts in this country to finally vote for him.

  32. I will say that one of the hosts seemed to be shrugging it all off with smiles and interrupting serious questions with softballs despite the vile nonsense spewing from Trump, which was rather disturbing (on top of everything else disturbing about this).

    Then I found out 1 of the 3 interviewers was a Fox Host and it all made sense. Watch and guess which one!

    (Hint: it’s not hard. If you really need a clue, just look for the one he doesn’t call horrible and nasty on repeat)

  33. This is how they shift the conversation- we shouldn’t let it continue.

    We all know that he didn’t crush it. Even he knows he didn’t crush it. The conversation should not revolve around whether he crushed it or not, the argument is that he said a lot of horrible shit to a room full of black journalists.

    Let’s not forget that at the very first press briefing of Trump’s presidency, his press secretary Sean Spicer told everyone that the crowd at his inauguration was the largest crowd in the history of crowds. People fought about the press conference and quickly moved on from the real topic: that his crowd size was much smaller.

    We need to stop letting them shift that conversation. “You thought you crushed? Good for you. Let’s talk about what you actually said.”

  34. I haven’t seen anyone bring it up yet, but the dude straight up said that he believes America is being invaded by more than *seventy* million people, the logical conclusion of that being that a solid fifth of the American population isn’t supposed to be here.

    Utterly insane.

  36. r/conservative are praising this performance. The cope is real

  38. Yeah. They crushed it so hard, team trump had to cut the interview short exactly when they brought up project 2025. He was getting pummeled so hard his team had to throw in the towel.

  40. Trump was bad but the panel STILL didn’t step up. When Trump says a doctor decides after the baby is born to kill it you must say NO THAT IS FALSE. When he says it again you must say THAT ISNT TRUE. THAT HAS NEVER HAPPENED. And when he blames former VA governor Northam, you say HE MISSPOKE ABOUT A PROGRAM OF PALLIATIVE CARE TO HELP FAMILIES WITH A BABY WHO WILL NOT SURVIVE THRIR BIRTH DEFECTS.

    No doctor will ever kill a baby after birth. It has never happened. It will never happen. This is Trump’s favorite BS point and he must be shut down every time he says it.

  41. He crushed it so bad they had to end it early 🤦‍♂️

  42. How in the fuck do people think it’s okay for a presidential candidate to talk to a reporter like this? This bastard needs to be knocked down a peg by his major loss.
