Why did Trump Camp's joke about Puerto Rico bomb?

[OddBeMe]

Because of Woke!

Because Trump is the reason PR is fcked up.

What I will say is, maybe not wise to hire a comedian who will roast a key demographic of the voting public you need to win in 2024.

Basically, you want to energize YOUR supporters while not invoking the OPPOSITION, this is true in all elections though this election has been very skewed against Trump since not many people approved his inaction on January 6th & not many people approved his inaction on policy (Infrastructure, Obamacare Repeal & Replacement, Southern Border, Wiping Out ISIS, Afghan Pullout, Bring Jobs Back, Hillary Clinton imprisoned on groundbreaking evidence by his DOJ, “ I Will Enforce All Laws Concerning Protection of Classified Information”, etc. all promised to be within ONE term which is 4 yrs… Many people don’t approve his inaction against China during the Pandemic also inaction on doing more to help quell the BLM Peaceful Daytime Protests & BLM Violent Nighttime Riots.

I’m a former Trump supporter and what made it easy to convert was Democrats promising what Trump didn’t accomplish and then some. Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, Chips And Science Act, Pact Act, Free Masks & Free Tests & American Rescue Plan, etc. Even trying to pass a Border Funding Bill, only failed because Trump killed it in just one phone call since he doesn’t fix issues, only causes them.

Basically, Trump was already a divisive figure who is invigorating not only the LEFT to Vote. It is also making RIGHT turnout flaccid since they really don’t like Harris or Trump and feel as though their voice is not being heard with the issues of today or just feel both are failures. Why else do you think Elon Musk has to bribe registered Republican voters to show up?

Violence On January 6th (Police Defending The Capitol)

Breaking His Oath Of Office, Calling For Termination of All Rules & Regulations & Articles, Even Those Found In The Constitution. Even putting our Founders in quotation marks like an asshole.

VOTE Kamala Harris & Tim Walz
Tax breaks (taxes decreased under Tim Walz), Child Tax Credit (increased under Tim Walz), 15 week Paid Parental leave for Amazon Warehouse Workers, Hospital & Nursing Home Staff, and School Faculty, Increasing Minimum Wage, etc.(all Under Tim Walz)

Now let’s talk about Kamala Harris’ record: Chips And Science Act for Technology Based Manufacturing Jobs (Microchips To Out Compete China), Pact Act for Millions of Veterans to receive the benefits they deserve for putting their life on the line every day for our freedoms, Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (Helps rebuild our Infrastructure), and so much more.

There is a problem with garbage in PR. But it is not well known so the joke bombed.

Neither. Why do you think? I mean, are you really asking?
It was a cheap shot, with a broad dismissive stroke, at the expense of the ENTIRE ISLAND of Puerto Rico, period - that’s it.
(In addition to rekindling feelings people on that island feel about Trump, which is generally low, as a result of his disastrous response early on in his presidency, to that hurricane - so it was insult to injury).

[purplepoppy]

It's a typical Trump tactic. He knows how his base feels about groups such as puetro Ricans but he can't come out and say it himself. Instead he delights them by getting a comedian to say it and hide behind "its a joke". Comedians know exactly what their audiences want to hear.

[Tamera952]

@purplepoppy is 100% right & on point here. TrumpTard was like, “who, what? I don’t know him, I don’t know anything about it” which is total B. S.

[michael3478]

Trump did not say it that is LLthat matters. I honestly think Trump should probably ban the guy from going to his rally's. It was not Trump's fault at all.

[exitseven]

people are too thin skinned today. It was a joke. Maybe not too funny but lets face it, there isa lot of truth to it, Wander away from the resort areas and PR is a dump.

[OddBeMe]

Sure but irony... it's trumps fault PR never recovered. Now they're using it as a racist dogwhistle

That's like if I blew up the 16th Street Baptist Church with four little girls inside, then made a "joke" about them being aborted

[exitseven]

The Us gave PR the money to fix its electrical grid several times over and yeat it is still a mess. Trump was the one that said enough is enough,

@OddBeMe Throwing good money after bad.

[OddBeMe]

Peoples lives- US citizens- is throwing away good money

[loveslongnails]

Because they weren't funny; they were stupid and insulting, which is exactly what you'd expect from a stupid and insulting person's campaign. I'm so fucking ready to be done with this sick bastard.

[Sevenpointfive]

it's not an island. but it's not a joke i like. i think that was the next step in our takeover of PR. why not though, we own it

[DrPepper12]

Cause racism & bigotry is funny, accepted & without consequences in the MAGAsphere.

[seeyounexttuesday]

The left meltdown about a joke is lovely to watch.

[OddBeMe]

It wasn't a joke.

Your mom is a cum dumpster. That's not a joke either

[OddBeMe]

I feel bad about the mom thing. Apologies.

[seeyounexttuesday]

A comedian was doing a routine. Those are called jokes. Kind of like you.

[msc545]

Racist jokes are never funny, just hurtful.

[OddBeMe]

They can be funny.
