I was disappointed with Trump in his interview with Sean Ryan. He avoided answering the questions and would get way off track on what he WOULD have done but not specifiying what he is going to do (I.e. Ukraine War). I Hope that Trump is more on point here.

Well he gets off track in this one too. Especially when he’s asked about the fraud of the 2020 election. Wouldn’t speak of it. But when asked about Ukraine and the middle east, he said he wouldn’t speak of specifics because if he did it would be so much harder to accomplish. But that he knew exactly what he would do. And how could anyone not believe that with his track record of stopping bullshite like that from happening?

I’m a huge Trump supporter and completely on his side but he really dodged the specifics on the forward path from where we’re at.

I undedstand and agree that it wouldn’t have happened if Trump was President. But what will you do to end the war and get us out of the situation.

Trump is pretty annoying and noncommittal on foreign policy. He just repeats over and over "it would have never happened" re: Russia invading Ukraine and the Hamas attack.

I mean, he said he thought there was fraud on the other side and that a lot of people felt that way. He said if you can't challenge an election, you don't really have an election. And he said he thought paper ballots, voter IDs/proof of citizenship and same-day voting could fix things.

Genuine question: have any of these items been enacted in swing states that didn't exist in 2020?

Hopeful that Trump can win in 2024, I just don't see enough change that will prevent another steal.

Another great podcast. Everyone expects Trump to give these shockingly different answers but he’s not. The man has been brutally attacked since he came down the escalator and the media is complicit. Maybe it’s not Trump causing the division, maybe it’s the media.

Lex did a great job, kept the conversation on point (for the most part) and even had some funny moments. Trump talked about several things that he’s never come out and discussed. He also gave some insight into his tweets, if he feels bad about fighting fire with fire.

This is a great interview and Kamala would never sit down to do this without all the questions and she would need it to be diced and cut up to make it clean. She’s a paper tiger.

Trump was the greatest foreign policy president in our lifetimes. Without question. We formed new alliances and had someone negotiating in our interests.

There were no new wars, and peace on earth.

He refused specifics the last time he ran too. Worked out just fine. I 100% trust him on this issue, above all others.

The general issues still exist. The GOP has apparently recruited a ton more poll watchers (especially in the swing states) for election integrity/to help combat any potential fraud. You have to start somewhere.

Truthfully, a lot of the fraud is before election day with the stories that are held back/censored if they make the Democrats look bad, but pushed if they make Trump look bad. Hunter Biden laptop, pressure on Facebook from the government not to run certain stories and to censor posts, Russia Russia Russia, Twitter censorship, etc. It's very obvious now.

Zuckerberg is only now admitting what happened with facebook being pressured. Musk came out with what he uncovered as soon as he bought Twitter. We had election interference all right, but it wasn't Russia, it was from within.

Trump’s just a really poor communicator.

Vance is great.

Exactly .. don’t care what he says on interviews . His performance during his 4 years speaks for itself . Peace and prosperity .

He's not great, I'll grant you, but he's a good ways from being "really poor.".

He's got a habit of just saying what he wants to say, to hell with anything else. That works well in some situations, not so much in others.

The George Floyd riots never would have happened if Trump was president.

You probably have that backwards, but I still can't figure out what sort of point you think you are making vis a vis the statement to which you were responding.
