Trump bizarrely claims 'they' will change the name of the state of Pennsylvania if he loses it
"I promise you this, with me at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, no one will lay a finger on your firearms — just as took place for four years when I was your president,"
Trump banned bump stocks, which laid the basis for the pistol brace ban, both of which conservative 2a meisters absolutely love, right? And this was at a NRA conference? I don't get how people know he did that and hate him for it, but will immediately forget their hatred in order to defend him on any other ground. MAGA is a cult.
He also has said:
Take the guns first, go through due process second
So yeah...
It's not about the issues. It's about cheering for your team.
“Take the guns first, go through due process second,” Pres Trump, Feb 2018
They're going to change the name to Wokesylvania and you'll have to be a gay trans to live there. Look it up.
Transylvania was right there man
Damn it.
Pee-pee is removed, it is now Vaggsylvania
Don’t threaten me with a good time!
Awesome!
Damn, I was really hoping for Trumpgofuckyourselfania.
They're gonna make us microdose edibles every morning. To make matters worse there'll be a taco truck on every corner.
I hear it will be turned in to a monarchy and they will crown Taylor Swift Queen for single handedly helping Biden solidify the win in this election.
Checks out. I looked it up.
MUH FREEDOM
Oh no, he found out about the Transsylvania plans. But I assume Wokesconsin, Gaybraska and Lesbiana are still a go?
Transsylvania
That's actually genius lmao
There will still be the schism between liberals and conservatives. The western half still get all goth, wear fangs, and have blood ceremonies, as Bram Stoker intended and rural families have practiced through the years. Meanwhile the damned woke eastern half will be all crossdressing, and surgical mutilation on a whim, “girls will be boys and boys will be girls. It’s a mixed up, muddled up, shook up world …” and engaging in all sorts of unnatural Kinks
I wonder what Cissylvania looks like
Top Dakota and Bottom Dakota
I never actually thought about changing the names of any states (why?!) but I kinda like how these sound
This guy rambles like an old man who’s read too much Facebook.
Change it to what? Penisveinyeah?
Seconded
just referring to pennsylvania as a 'state' instead of a 'commonwealth' is gonna lose it for ya, dinglebutt.
This! Someone probably told him that it was the commonwealth of Pennsylvania and not to use the word state, and he went off on them and thought they were a liberal plant.
Commonwealth?
Sounds Marxist.
/s
The evil libs are gonna rename it Pedovania and kick out all the straight white christians and turn the state into an adrenochrome harvesting child sex facility!
and because we live in a post-poe world, I have to emphasize, emphatically, that this is sarcasm.
Has the NRA already forgotten this? https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/376097-trump-take-the-guns-first-go-through-due-process-second/
long time ago, so has the rest of the cult.
I've seen some of them justifying that when it gets brought up. It's been a while though and the arguments were dumb, so I didn't remember what they were.
Not really relevant to the interests of the NRA. The NRA makes money from paranoia about the government and Trump promotes that. So Trump's their guy.
Wait, I live in Pennsylvania. What are we changing it to? "Getfuckedfascists"?
He’s insane
Syphilis brain insane
Damn, guess he never left his personal Vietnam ;;
I heard the poll result was Statey McStateface
Penn was a slave owner but among plutocrats in the 1600s he's about as good as it gets. He treated native Americans well (and to whatever extent you want to credit it, he treated his slaves better than most) and liked democracy and religious freedom.
So if you want to credit the morsel of an idea here, he is probably trying to say that even though Penn was an OK guy relative to the times, he could get "cancelled" because he was a slave owner and then "they" would force the state to change its name because Penn was canceled.
But obviously, half muttering nonsense that can be interpreted favorably by anyone with whatever beliefs if they so choose is Trump's super power so I'm all for reading this uncharitably and just saying he's being weird and crazy.
They’ll make it the commonpoverty of Pennsylvania!
Kinda feels like he heard someone make this joke and then tried to steal it without understanding which part was the joke.
My wife actually brought up a good point: he might have heard about the push to rename Columbus Ohio, which is both a real left wing position and also something unlikely to happen anytime remotely soon despite the actual city generally being far less comfortable with its name than any other major city in the country to my knowledge and often euphamizing it. But yeah not happening no matter how much we’d rather call it flavortown or Hiawatha or fucking Ohio City even
He needs to keep the name of Dr. Thaddeus Q. They out of his goddamn mouth
well, this is an escalation. like, this is a big step up from hamberders and Nikki Haley at Jan 6.
When thy change his diaper, they should check for blood.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Former President Donald Trump bizarrely claimed that if he loses Pennsylvania, “they” will change the state's name.
Trump made the claim in a speech to thousands of members of the National Rifle Association (NRA) in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania on Friday night.

In recent years, there have been moves across the United States to address the country’s racist past by renaming places named after controversial historical figures, particularly those with ties to slavery and the Confederacy.
"I promise you this, with me at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, no one will lay a finger on your firearms — just as took place for four years when I was your president," he said.
President Joe Biden was born in Pennsylvania and won the state against Trump in the 2020 election.
The original article contains 343 words, the summary contains 145 words. Saved 58%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
“I promise you this, with me at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, no one will lay a finger on your firearms — just as took place for four years when I was your president,” he said.
You know what's ridiculous about this? His followers will agree without noticing that Biden and Obama and Clinton didn't take their precious guns away.
Know what else is ridiculous about it? The Trump administration banned bump stocks in December 2018. Not Congress, the ATF did it. Under Trump.
Biggest federal gun control move since Clinton's assault rifle ban which was done through legislation.
Not the bump stocks though, Trump took those from the ammosexuals and you don't hear shit about it anymore.
But muh guns! Day cummins for muh guns!
And trump banned bump stocks
What did William Penn do to Trump?
He was radically left wing. He even had left wing opinions on pronouns! (He opposed the use of the formal second person pronoun)
Me thinks this man has a few bats in his belfry… a few sandwiches short of a picnic… his elevator doesn’t go to the top … not playing with a full deck
You get the idea.
A couple tacos short of an enchilada plate. All foam, no beer.
No, no we won't.
Biden really needed Trump to set a new water mark after the last couple days, and he came through.
Hasn't he already lost it? Like he's totally lost his mind.
God I hope this actually happens!
My god, the man is insane. And people are talking about how unfit Biden is because he mixes up world leaders and dates?
Interesting to learn so much about how Fascism works, because of Trump. Making crazy statements, as a type of blind loyalty test is instinctual for fascist leaders. Alienates his followers from normal people, forces them to believe in even crazier things.
I would prefer to learn this in a theoretical, not practical, way, thank you very much.
And this time around it's even easy to isolate yourself in an information bubble that completely reinforces your beliefs. Social media is a godsend for fascists.
Meanwhile Trump has never even heard of these people or what happened on those dates...
Instead we get classics like this from the certified genius ..
"Person, Woman, Man, Camera, TV. See how smart I am, not many people can remember 5 things.."
and
"that dementia test was quite challenging but I passed it, not many other people would be smart enough to pass it"
Which, tbh, are already confusing for someone who hasn't been in the game for decades on end.
I guess I am unfit for office because I forget everyone's name about 3 minutes after they tell me. If I haven't met you several times I am just never remembering your name.
If he loses again, what is to stop him trying again in 2028?
A heart attack, god willing
Atherosclerosis?
I mean, the republican party loves losers, so that would just solidify another run imo. As long as they also take all of their money, and tell them everything is ok.
He is very vaguely suggesting the Dems will purge all connections to the past. It's a calculated talking point. He isn't insane or stupid; he is evil.
It sounds insane and stupid, so I'm not sure that matters.
dijon mustard anyone?
They're both unfit, and it's a disgrace that you're basically stuck choosing between these 2. There's a reasonable chance one of them keels over and dies before the election as well.
It’s pretty clear that one is far more unfit though.
well, that's what I'm voting for!
