  1. “That’s their problem.” How many tens of thousands of New Yorkers are dead as a direct result of the Trump White House foot-dragging to punish New York for being a blue state.

    >First-person accounts of a tense meeting at the White House in late March suggest that President Trump’s son-in-law resisted taking federal action to alleviate shortages and help Democratic-led New York.

  2. >“We have horrible, disgusting, dangerous, filthy encampments of junkies and homeless people living in places that our children used to play Little League Baseball, which they don’t get to play very much anymore, do they?” he asked.

    Press X to doubt any of Trump’s kids played little league.

    >He claimed several categories of violent crime were up, including robbery and assault.

    >“The trains and subways are squalid,” he said, claiming that there’s **a 75 percent chance that a child riding the subway may never be seen again.**

    Imagine the outrage by New Yorkers if this were even remotely true…

    >“Businesses are fleeing, the **mobs of illegal migrants are being put up in luxury hotels at your expense**, while our great veterans live on the freezing or steaming sidewalks right outside the main entrance, the way the migrants enter their hotel,” Trump said.

    I don’t even know what to say here. Does he just completely make shit up on the fly? LOL

  3. trump used that line in 2016 and it was successful because no one knew what they had to lose.

    In 2024, we all know exactly what we have to lose.

  4. Just nonstop lies. Staggeringly obvious lies. By a rapist and felon. And it’s a close race…

  5. My Medicare, my Social Security benefits, my standard of living with these new consumption taxes, my freedom to dissent, my freedom to form a relationship with the person of my choice, my earning power, my government protections from being scammed…need I go on?

  6. Trump media is down almost 5% today and if it goes under 12 Trump can’t sell his shares.

    14.86 USD

    −0.76 (4.87%)today

  7. “Your life is shit anyway, what have you got to lose?”

  11. Yeah, this line doesn’t work anymore now that he’s not the unknown commodity. We’ve seen what a Trump presidency looks like and nobody wants to fight over toilet paper again. 

  12. Idk we could lose healthcare. Contraception, the right to worship any religion that isn’t Christianity. The right for a woman to chooses. And my personal favorite I don’t have an extra $6000 to pay for the shit you want to tariff (tax the US citizens) and I’m not to keen on paying 10.00 for pencils because you put a tariff on them coming to our country.

  13. Saw this clip on Morning Joe this morning. I audibily yelled out **”DEMOCRACY”** when he said that.

  14. “Literally everything we value and cherish about our democracy”

  16. Fear losing everything that makes this country great!

  18. I think this is a sign of his desperation. He must be getting some bad polling data or trying to recover from his narcissistic injury last week. Maybe both

    But it’s clear he is getting more and more desperate 

  20. Is it just me, or do I want more from a presidential candidate than an attempt to sell me on voting for them with the same rationale offered for summoning Beetlejuice?

  22. Trump’s policies:

    1. What have you got to lose

    2. I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT

    3. Our country sucks like never before

  23. We already lost abortion rights. What more can we lose? Our democracy?…

  24. “What have you got to lose” is a terrible reason to vote for a President. That kind of decision making is fine if you’re trying out a new cheap product or low commitment service, not something as consequential as a Presidential election

  26. I can’t believe he is using that old, tired line. What do I have to lose? I’m losing my mind just listening to you and your nonsensical gaslighting gibberish tbh.

  27. >“The trains and subways are squalid,” he said, claiming that there’s a 75 percent chance that a child riding the subway may never be seen again.

    So, according to the deranged buffoon, 3 out of 4 children riding the NYC Subway disappear.

    You’d like to think Stephen King IT-level shit like that would get more widespread attention, but apparently not.

    Damn MSM!

  28. It’s bizarre he’s campaigning in… New York. This doesn’t seem like a good use of his time. He’s almost campaigning as if he knows his side has rigged it.

  30. >>What have you got to lose?

    Let’s see, Donald. Here are a few things that come to mind:
    – My healthcare
    – My ability to marry who I want
    – My right to vote
    – My clean air
    – My public transit
    – My job
    – My low taxes

  31. He also said America is CURRENTLY a third world country. LOL what the hell? What’s with all the haters in his cult?? They believe this crap?? He then says Springfield, OH they were a nice, crime free city “no problems” until the migrant problem. Why so many straight up lies??? These are legal protected immigrants. In fact, invited to live there to SAVE their economy. Holy shit. 

  32. If you are over 40, live in the tri-state area, and vote for this guy, you’re beyond gone. He’s lived in the local news cycle there as a bankruptcy savant and a low-tier bullshit artist.

    If he had no inheritance, his best case scenario would be a used car salesman, but many people are saying, he’d likely be trying to run a 3 card monte hustle in Staten Island…next to the dump.

  33. Hundreds of millions of dollars that Trump stole from New York by lying about his property values to get better rates on his loans.

  34. I’m middle class in NY. Trump’s 2017 tax “cut” RAISED my taxes. Meanwhile right after the tax plan took effect, he told a bunch of rich party guests at Maralago – ” Congratulations, you all just got a lot richer!”

  35. Remember New Yorkers hated Trump way before 2015 for good reasons

  36. I can send him a spreadsheet quantifying exactly how much I’ve lost in eliminating the SALT deduction under his admin. Just for starters.

  37. Trump needs to stop watching Fox News- NYC is thriving. And we grew up with this guy – we’ve known he’s an evil POS loser for decades.

  39. You know you have nothing to offer when your argument is reduced to “why not?”

  41. Abortion rights, affordable healthcare, democracy to name a few?

  42. ““The trains and subways are squalid,” he said, claiming that there’s a 75 percent chance that a child riding the subway may never be seen again. ”

    Where the fuck does he get these numbers from? We’d have a raging epidemic of missing children if there were even .075%.

  44. Short list: self respect, money, health care, Constitutional rights
