Summary
At a North Carolina rally, Donald Trump used aggressive language, questioning if he was “allowed to hit” Michelle Obama after her recent criticism of his values and policies.
Though Trump spoke metaphorically, his comments drew backlash, with analysts calling the remark in poor taste. Trump recounted an imaginary conversation with his staff advising him to tone down his rhetoric, prompting cheers from supporters urging him to “hit back.”
The statement, shared widely on social media, has raised concerns about its impact on the gender gap and support among conservative women voters.
“Metaphorically” doesn’t save him from yet again being a massive piece of shit…
They’re still mad that they got called out for calling her a man and an ape. They’re disgusting people
that was no metaphor
His entire existence is in poor taste.
You know, I would be ok with him specifically being allowed to hit somebody just to watch him fall down trying lol
Already showing us how he wants to protect women.
Whether they like it or not
I don’t think anyone is allowed to hit former First Ladies. Much like former presidents actually.
Altho I could make an exception. Barack would tear him a new one in a
celebrityformer potus death matchI don’t think you’re allowed to physically attack anyone at all, could be wrong though. Except in sports, any sport.
In a fight between South Side Chicago and Queens, I bet on South Side Chicago
People surprised when trump says something absolutely on brand for trump?
“He was never nice to the Obamas,” said The Hill opinion writer Tara Dublin. “He also looks & sounds like he died last week but no one wants to tell him.”
Looks, sounds, and by all accounts smells like he died last week.
Michelle would fuck you up Cheetos Mussolini.
I doubt anyone is stunned by this
Fat old Hamburgler vs ripped, brook-no-shit woman.
Good luck with that.
Ok, Trump is an awful human. No doubt.
But can we also agree that the article’s title is misleading? It seems clear to me that he didn’t literally mean “hit her”, but rather a political hit/verbal diarrhea.
Articles like these - and people quick to share them - make Democrats/left-leaning institutions look like they are grasping at straws. It’s too bad because there are so many important, real topics that don’t receive as much attention.
I’ve been “not threatened” twice in my life, and someone once tried to set me up in a way that were hoping to get me for break and entering.
That’s what criminals do. They’ll use a suspicious amount of coercive control and people like Trump also use a lot of keywords too or guide followers towards doing things they want in a way they are protected
With Trump, it’s genuinely not clear
Don’t forget, this is a guide who clearly tried a coup, and started cracking jokes when Pelosi’s husband got attacked
Don’t think of him as a person, put everything he says in the context as the mafia. And suddenly, things seem a lot worse
He’s a supposed politician.
This isn’t grasping at straws.
He is speaking to his base. His base… whom are lucky if they can rub two brain cells together for a spark… Are not going to take this as some political rhetoric.
Unless you think she has already physically hit him, it’s painfully clear from the context that this is a political hit.
Your post just reads as a justification for being fooled by the title, or a justification for being outright dishonest. We can’t shut on trump supporters for being so detached from reality while trying to pretend it’s reasonable to believe he was talking about actually physically hitting her here. It’s equally as detached from reality.
He’s a rapist and pedophile, that’s enough for me to hate him for life. Every other thing he says or does is just icing on the cake.
Absolutely. There’s so many legit reasons to vote for Harris over Trump. This type of article is just noise.
