I tried to find a video of this on youtube, which I could not. I did however find a video of him making the same mistake 3 weeks ago in Pennsylvania, this time confusing it with North Carolina πŸ™„

https://www.youtube.com/live/9nfm-6_8mWg?feature=shared&t=14414 time code is in the link but its at 4:00:30 if it doesn't follow

Not sure really if its a gaffe or he just thinks he's talking to a national audience at these, either way what he says is stupid

[–] TheSlad@sh.itjust.works 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

It sounds like in this case hes not mistaking, just talking about an unrelated town in a different state as a talking point to bring up immigration?

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (3 children)

Yeah, and he's bringing up situations in different parts of the country as well, all to make whatever his point is (I guess immigration bad?).

Gotta admit that made it even more funnier

[–] morgunkorn@discuss.tchncs.de 55 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

there was only a 2% chance to be correct, don't bash on him with such low odds!

[–] TheRealKuni@lemmy.world 37 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

More like a 14% chance, since the only states that matter are PA, WI, NV, MI, AZ, GA, and NC.

[–] morgunkorn@discuss.tchncs.de 23 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Right no need to travel everywhere + all the venues where they won't let him in because he hasn't paid for the last time he went there

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 14 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

The idea of Trump only campaigning in places where he doesn't have unpaid bills in is hilarious

Are You Ready To Rock?!

"Not yet! Give us a few more minutes!"

what does texting Trump to 88022 do? Is that like one of those 90s sex lines?

[–] usernamesAreTricky@lemmy.ml 28 points 3 weeks ago (8 children)

Realistically, it most likely signs you up for a deluge of spam texts about donations and the like to trump

[–] damnedfurry@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

I get that shit already, and I've never texted any of these 5 digit numbers lol. They seem to come in waves (like I'll go months without getting any, then get them nearly daily for a few weeks, then quiet again), I've blocked so many numbers...

[–] Pika@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

they are so obnoxious, my grandfather's phone is filled to the brim with them, I have never seen a campaign send as many fucking spam texts as his campaign does it is ridiculous, my grandfather is hard blue and they are just relentless with the "Trump demands your support now!" and "DONATE TO THE CAUSE, DON'T LET THE LEFTIST HARRIS RUIN DEMOCRACY" it's so fucking annoying, you can't even opt out as they just blatantly ignore it. He gets more red based texts then blue lmao

[–] Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 6 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Todd who previously had my phone number signed up for a lot of texts, and got his (now my) number into a ton of databases. I've been able to watch his cross country move and general financial improvement through these spam texts. At first it was a house in Phoenix Arizona, and some sketchy stuff related to his arrest, but looks like he moved back to the same state I live in and has a cheaper place that isn't seeing as insane of price inflation. I've also seen fewer debt related texts for him and lately I've been getting some with his new lady friend's name on them. Good for Todd. Hopefully he eventually learns to stop giving out my number

[–] ShadowAndFlame@mander.xyz 2 points 3 weeks ago

I already get those without having dialed anything

Might directly charge your carrier for $5 to his campaign

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

How does he propose to "MAKE HOUSING AFFORDABLE AGAIN"? By interfering with the free market lol?

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Don't worry, he has a concept of a plan.

I mean theoretically if they deport all non-citizens that would free up a lot of housing, as well as a lot of jobs and generally send the country into an economic death spiral thanks to the sudden and continued population decline

Would you like to buy Chinese dropshipped garbage, but in the most brilliant golden tones and for quadruple the price you'd see it on aliexpress? Then Text that number

"Many people call it Pennsylvania okay. Some call it Arizona, but many call it Pennsylvania too. Most say they don't even know what it's called but the ones who do, they call it Pennsylvania, okay? and you know that, and I know that and we know that, which is why nuclear, because my uncle, John trump, okay, and this guy was rough okay? Rough and tough, and BIG. okay big tears in his eyes and he says, "ummm Mr trump sir... Ummm ummm". But you can't do that anymore right, they don't let you, but that had, they called it Wharton business school. And you need to know business, you need to know DEALS okay, and they say, I mean you hear this, you hear many people saying this, that, "trump does deals". And the greats say it, you see orban, and they call him strong okay, I'm strong, she's not strong okay, golf it's heavy, you can't just do golf if you're a lady and you know that. But yeah, lady marmalade was what me and Jeff called this one girl, and she was.... I mean, you could do it in those days, and they'd let you and you did it and we all did it and it was great. And that's why okay, that's and you see the shirts and they say it, MAGA okay, MAGA, and it says "make an elephant grapes again" and that's really it. But the whole thing is just a hoax okay, and Hunter Biden did Hillary emails and it's, of course it is right? And it's sleepy joe ON STEROIDS we call it, and where is he now? You don't see him anymore, it's like he's not even running for president, but that's why I think Tim Waltz is gonna be the future vice president."

Look at that banner desperately trying to make the shooting relevant again, as if the country doesn't have more extreme shootings every day.

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 15 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Trump shootings are just a fact of life, we have to get over it.

[–] barsquid@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago

Yes. I'm afraid all I can offer are some thoughts and prayers.

Now now, the poor man got a nick on his ear that healed within days and left no scar. He was lucky to survive an injury that gruesome.

[–] M0115732@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

Too many states for this Reds lover to remember

[–] duckduckohno@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

imagine if he wins and he is president when he is 82 years old...
