Trump Lavishes Praise on John Fetterman After He Bends the Knee

Summary

Donald Trump praised Democratic Senator John Fetterman after their meeting at Mar-a-Lago, calling him a "commonsense person."

Fetterman, whose political stance has shifted rightward in recent years.

He has drawn criticism from Democrats, especially for co-sponsoring the Laken Riley Act, which allows detention of undocumented immigrants accused of nonviolent crimes.

His wife, Gisele, an advocate for immigrant rights and a former undocumented immigrant, was not mentioned in discussions on immigration.

The meeting marks an unexpected alignment between the two politicians.

Brain injuries and conservatism, name a more iconic duo
- Fascism and capitalism.
  
  Cursed power couple
- He mocked Trump in the interview saying he was going to ask if he could be named pope of Greenland. I don’t think he’s ‘bending the knee’ so much as being civil. We’ll see when he votes.

  I'm currious because there's 3 theories to fit the concept.
  He's two faced... when surrounded by left leaning people he's saying "yeah I'm going to tell trump he can suck it to his face!!!", then in front of the right leaning people he's actually bending the knee.
  He's being sarcastic, and trump is too narcisistic to see it.... IE see the right leaning people who can't understand how Colbert left their side.
  He's being civil, simply talking about what they can agree on and work with... and trump is calling that great.
Fetterman is a disappointment. I voted for that mofo, but I definitely won't again.
- For real. Dr Oz as one out of 100 senators vs Dr oz as HHS sec or whatever.
- You had him vs Oz, unless you are talking about primaries.
  
  Fetterman vs Oz? JFC that's brutal.
- It'll be between him and a Republican who's worse, unless you can primary him.
  
  I wouldn't bet against him being primaried.
  
  Yeah. Fuck.
What do you know, MAGA was right, Fetterman was not mentally fit to be a Senator.
I still say there is a correlation between rightism and brain damage.
- Most conservatives come by their brain damage slowly, through lead poisoning and childhood abuse; or through mental disorders like high-functioning psychopathy, narcissism, and sociopathy.
  
  Fetterman had a stroke, killed half his brain cells and caught right up.
I feel really bad for Gisele. Ever since his stroke she’s been basically invisible.
We need to understand that democrats are playing the republican game. They don't want to improve anything, just stay in power. I honestly believe we need a new party built fromthe ground up.

- *new parties. Plural.
  
  We need a unified party to challenge both republicans and democrats. Once dems see an actual threat to them, then they will try to act. More likely to compromise for a majority. That's why Bernie failed. He tried to play their game.
  I'm for multiple parties in the end but we need a real threat first. Not one of two places but several across local and national.
- new government
One of these days people will realize just having a D by your name isn't enough...
As shit as Fetterman is, he's helping a lot of people realize it. So at least he's doing some good
- Arguably still better than Dr. Oz.
- For real. One of the state reps for Detroit claims to be Democrat. But she blocked all the last minute bills and won't caucus with the Democrats this term. She's in a district that is over 80% D and the law makes it almost impossible to recall her. So frustrating
He might as well just switch to the GOP and drop whatever remains of the act he is putting on.
Last line: “Has Fetterman turned so far to the right that he’s ignoring his own wife’s story—and is Trump secretly applauding him for it?“
Secretly???
Its loud and clear virtue signaling. Other Democrats take the knee and do as i say and maybe i wont be mad at you when i take revenge on everyone else.
I hate that I voted for this guy multiple times.
- Same.
You mean Harvard educated fake working slob John Fetterman is disingenuous? Tell me you are lying. He's our working man because of sweatshirts and shitty facial hair, right? RIGHT??? If not, I'm going to start thinking that politicians are just not good people.
- Anyone who manages to get themselves elected should on no account be allowed to do the job.
Been tired of Fetterman for quite a while. He can fuck right off.
Wow I can't believe this genocidal zio is also a fash. \s
Aw little bitch fetterman.
Someone photshopped the um.. handjob leavings off of fettermans hands. Thats good, some children might see that and learn too much about the pathetic behavior of their elders.
