Trump: They say that the wind drives them crazy. You know, it's a vibration because you have those, you know, those things that 50 story building, some of them. They have, you know, the wind is rushing, the things are blowing. It's a vibration and it makes noise. You know what it is. I wanna be a whale psychiatrist
I’m fascinated by all the strawman comments trying to pretend like all attacks against Trump are from the same person or people. I voted against Trump because he weaponizes lies against minorities, because he was proud to have abused women, because his policies are illogical trash, because his corruption in appointing his friends is unbounded, and because everything he does always comes backs to his own ego and personal benefit.
Everything is about him. Every person I know that voted against him is the same. Watch how he talks, theres nothing except painting himself as a victim and trying to make himself feel important. My family and friends aren’t voting against him because they think he’s mentally unstable, they’re voting against him because he doesn’t represent the things they liked about the republican party that he destroyed and the people he associates with getting caught in lies over and over just reflect his latest scam.
The transcript is downloadable but it’s an amazing example of 3 hours of rambling to try to boost his own ego:
In the Joe Rogan interview, Trump consistently portrays himself as a victim of systematic attacks, emphasizing how the media and political establishments allegedly turned on him once he ran for office. He frames his journey as an outsider entering a hostile environment, where he had to “survive” against unprecedented resistance.
Throughout, Trump attributes criticisms or negative responses to conspiracies, unfair media practices, and coordinated opposition, reinforcing a narrative that he was treated uniquely and unjustly.
Additionally, Trump centers many experiences and policy achievements around his personal role, often positioning himself as the singular driving force behind successes or as a unique figure capable of navigating challenges. His self-focus is evident as he frequently highlights his accomplishments and decisions as singularly pivotal, casting others’ contributions as secondary.
This egocentric perspective is also clear when he discusses achievements like military victories, economic successes, or relationships with other world leaders, often attributing these to his influence alone rather than broader efforts or context.
This narrative reinforces both a victim complex—where he is the target of unparalleled hostility—and an egotistical view, positioning himself as the crucial and often sole figure capable of achieving significant outcomes.
How does this help the American people or clarify what he stands for aside from himself? It doesn’t.

Trump launches in on the Big Lie and vaguely gestures at the “evidence” that is out there.
Rogan: “Are you going to present this ever?”
Former president stares dumbfounded for a moment, then after the pause, continues on, with his “one more” being about the Hunter Biden laptop.
Regardless of how you feel about this man, when an actual factual statement is brought up in regards to Democratic Party and election interference (i.e Hunter Biden Laptop) Democrat followers and party members turn a blind eye and attack the other side and try to divert the topic. Shouting loudly doesn't change the facts. How we've gotten to this part where half the American public is so blind and accepts this as okay is baffling. Supporting an administration that is willing to censor your first amendment rights is the scariest proposition that this country faces. The right to free speech, press, and assembly gives us the opportunity to even have these discussions, feelings, disagreements, etc.. that leads to change. We're walking a very fine line and it's ridiculous people cant understand this because we've been blinded by identity politics and picking teams rather that protecting your freedoms.
FFS I read that entire post waiting for some evidence and proof.

Trump: I make all of the greatest decisions, policies, plans and pick the best people, etc.
Also Trump: the people I picked to run those things were bad, idiots, bullies, etc.
He has more disgruntled former handpicked employees/associates than anyone in history. Maybe if you don't ask them to do something illegal or immoral you won't have that problem, especially when they're a current or retired 4 star (you know, professionals with strong core values).
I listened to a good chunk of the podcast. Trump rambles on about nonsense and rarely answers a question. Asked about the start of his presidency, and he wants to talk about how Barron would be too tall to sleep in Abe Lincoln's bed. OK.
He shows a complete lack of understanding about the military when he talks about good generals, bad generals, what should be done, etc. His rant about Afghanistan was just bizarre, because he kept repeating that you take the troops out last, after everything else was done. Trump was the person responsible for taking troop levels to the their lowest point since the start of war, cutting them right before leaving office down to 2,500. There was no way to secure the country and remove everything with that few troops. Just a bizarre rant on his part.
At times I think Trump has this one in the bag, then he goes on Rogan and says polls are all a scam, so who knows?
Wasn't Trump the guy who talked about yard signs? I live in Indianapolis. In my little neighborhood of about 200 homes, I'd say there are ~40 Harris signs. There are two Trump signs. This is a pretty red area. Are people sick of him and not voting for him? Are they embarrassed to put a sign out?
Driving today through another area of the city, much the same. Harris/Walz signs everywhere. Few Trump signs. And perhaps most interesting -- yards with signs for a Republican Governor, Republican State Attorney General, and a Republican House Rep -- but NO Trump sign. So you're voting straight R for everything else and you can't get a Trump sign? Or are they embarrassed? Who knows.
