NO, "MS Now," Trump saying "I.D.G.A.F." about Americans' finances WAS NOT A F*CKING "POLITICAL GAFFE."

"A gaffe is a noticeable, embarrassing mistake, social blunder, or tactless act, often occurring in public or diplomatic situations. It is characterized as a "faux pas" or an unintentional comment that causes embarrassment to the person who makes it."

THIS WASN'T THAT. HE FUCKING MEANT IT, THERE WAS NO "MISTAKE" or "BLUNDER."

AND IT WASN'T A GODDAMNED "SLIP UP" EITHER.

This was Trump saying "I just ran out of the last fuck I might possibly give about Americans suffering financially."

Hopefully the pilots enjoy an air supply that’s maintained seperately and discrete from the cabin air. You know, for safety.

......Trumps pathetic and simplistic mindset on the entire issue of dealing with Iran. He just keeps repeating "Iran cannot be allowed to have a nuclear weapon" and that's it, end of story. His understanding of this issue has no depth let alone nuance, just a repeated talking point for the chumps on the MAGA train and nothing else.

I’ve been waiting for years for his supporters to come to their senses. They never do. This won’t be any different.

If the M$NOW can only bring themselves to call it a "gaffe", Fox and CBS will gush over how BRAVE it was to say this out loud. "You cannot have the enemy believing that your leader's hands are tied due to petty concerns like the financial situation of people back at home! It's a disadvantage in negotiations!"

Then they'll have panels of 3-4 talking heads, with each trying to one-up the other in terms of their effusive praise for how "brave" and "strong" it was of IQ47 to mouth these words. Fetterman will probably make an appearance in at least one of them.

And WaPo and NYT will probably publish op-eds tomorrow from people at Rand and the Heritage Foundation making the case that what he's REALLY REALLY doing is putting America First!

It will officially be a "nothingburger, overblown by TDS Democrats" across the entire M$M ecosystem by breakfast tomorrow, and never spoken of again within 24 hours.
