What a snowflake lmao
He really is very sensitive. It's funny to watch on one hand, but on the other the way he reverts to bully type to escape the interview is not so funny.

I don't think he can use social media as a platform to stir up controversy and misinformation (either on purpose, or just by being stupid or arrogant), and then be upset when this brings tough questioning. If Biden was doing the same he'd get tougher questions, but he's non-abrasive, boring, and too much like your daft old grandpa to court such questioning.

I suppose he's been acting this way in business for so many years, riding roughshod over everyone and never being held accountable, that perhaps he's deluded enough to believe that just bulldozing over everyone is also a legitimate political strategy. He doesn't have the emotional maturity or intelligence to stick with this line of questioning, he has to go back to his safe space.

Biden isn't doing it, because they have different campaign. Their campaign is all about not falling into Trump's antics and trusting to get voters behind him for being just neutral on everything. That's why it's "boring", but it's planned.

Trump will still win.

Of course it's a tactic, but he's still nothing like Trump in terms of personality. Trump as incumbent president also has to answer different questions to Biden.

cant say it’s not working as well in politics tho. Guy can just ignore interviews, not answer questions, throw temper tantrums, insult anyone and throw out baseless accusations and his base eats that shit up.

as long as there’s no consequences, he’ll get away with it.

Yeah I shouldn't have worded it like that, it's a strategy that works because a TV personality and celebrity is the president. Maybe the system is broken.

Modern politics are increasingly opportunist and alarmist. Trump has helped create this polarisation where all his supporters are red-blooded, alpha American patriots and the opposition are socialist, beta libfags that want to destroy the country.

The hilarious part is that his base thinks this toddler behaviour is actually super dominant and alpha. :lol:

Like the democrats refusing to answer critical questions, telling you'll find out after the election, Or Joe comparing Trump to Göbbels and calling him a Clown.

That's still better than when he was mistaking him with George Bush though...

All you (rightfully) accuse Trump of, works for both sides, only that only ever one side gets called out for it, whilst the other one gets a free pass.

Ah the both sides argument.
I don’t care ifyou’re Democrat or Republican. Both parties are crap to be honest. But you have to be mentally ill or delusional to support Donald at this point.

I think you’re about 23% correct

I get that it's easy to buy this narrative of unfair treatment as Trump sells it every chance he gets. Personally I'd be vary whenever someone is that eager to play the victim card. There is a reason why he is questioned for his words and actions more often than Biden for example. He simply does and says controversial stuff more often. I think people have perhaps become a bit blind to these controversies as they are just seen as the normal at this point. Imo you're creating a false equivalence between their actions and words here.
