Convicted felon Donald Trump approaches self awareness and quickly sidesteps.
post
The former president said only a “psycho” or a “very stupid person” would’ve made such statements.
I mean, he's right...
Just run clips of him saying it, then clips of what he just said.
Hell, I've even got an idea for the third commercial:
In fairness to Trump (there's a sentence I never thought I'd write...)
"“He said I stood over graves of soldiers and I said: ‘These people are suckers and losers,"
That's technically correct. He did not say those things in public.
Edit I watched the ad, it does not specify that Trump said these things in public, just that he said them which is true.
He said them privately to staff members.
Confirmed by Trump's former Chief of Staff, John Kelly:
But my favorite quote out of all this is the one that barely gets mentioned:

Trump saying at a 2017 Memorial Day event in Arlington National Cemetery: "I don't get it. What was in it for them?"
Trump is ENTIRELY transactional. The idea that good men would fight a war for their country purely because it's the right thing to do escapes him entirely.
He got specific when attacking John McCain, "I like people who weren't captured."
Biden's team should shoot back with that: "I like people who weren't convicted."
Trump rejected the idea of the visit because he feared his hair would become disheveled in the rain, and because he did not believe it important to honor American war dead, according to four people with firsthand knowledge of the discussion that day. In a conversation with senior staff members on the morning of the scheduled visit, Trump said, “Why should I go to that cemetery? It’s filled with losers.” In a separate conversation on the same trip, Trump referred to the more than 1,800 marines who lost their lives at Belleau Wood as “suckers” for getting killed.

In a conversation with senior staff members on the morning of the scheduled visit, Trump said, “Why should I go to that cemetery? It’s filled with losers.”
Arlington was property seized from Robert E. Lee and chartered to house dead Union soldiers after the civil war.
So it sounds like it was filled with winners, at least for a little while.
If it is getting under Trumps skin I’d double down and release more of them. Fuck him.
What did he say about John McCain? "I like people who weren't captured."
Trump has never given a shit about the military or veterans. I'm surprised at how many veterans love him.
The military doesn't attract the brightest minds.
Reminds me of a joke that did the rounds shortly after Finland joined Nato.
Finnish general: "You know, it's difficult, we have mandatory military service, but around 15% are unfit for service"
Other Nato generals: "That 15% is where we have to recruit from"
Always keep in mind that Trump is a person with a very weak mind. It might actually be the case that he has forgotten about many of the misdeeds he has done, and considers himself an innocent and successful man just because he does not remember about reality.
It took you a lot of words to define dementia. 😆
It's more insidious than that. Malignant narcissists like Trump believe their gaslighting and lies define reality for everyone.
That's a startling amount of self-awareness from him.
It doesn't count as self-awareness if he disassociates from the statement entirely, it's actually the opposite.
Follow up ad:
Trump: "only a “psycho” or a “very stupid person” would’ve made such statements."
Trump: *insults dead troops
Trump: "only a “psycho” or a “very stupid person” would’ve made such statements."
Trump: *insults POWs
Trump: "only a “psycho” or a “very stupid person” would’ve made such statements."
Repeat ad nauseum for every stupid arms services quote (or any other quote) the dumb idiot has said.
Did Trump just acknowledge he's a very stupid psycho?
Why? None of your cult will care. You can shoot someone in broad daylight, remember?
Well well well, if it isn't the consequences of my own actions
I didn't expect agreeing with a trump statement in my life, talking about the last part of course
Now tack that onto the end of the commercial.
I demand trump shove a hamberder and covfefe up his asshole (the one near his mushroom, not the one under his nose).
Sounds like a good life lesson about not saying things you don't want others to hear.
What video is that? Now I want to look at it.
I hope the people who still see ads on the content they watch are the same folks who need to see these.
Nothing I watch has ads anymore, so if I needed this information to know what kind of person Trump was (somehow) I would not be seeing it.
Did he just call himself a very stupid psycho?
Trump would fill his pants if he was ever in any kind of war zone. But you know that’ll never happen because he’s a coward.
