He was a democrat at the time too, right?

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 26 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

In the 90s he said if he ever ran for office he wasn’t sure which side he would run on. I think he said he would run for whichever party was stupid enough.

15 years ago he wasn’t talking about that. That was 2009, and he had his little TV show that made him look and feel like an important man.

He got on camera, and stated that he would run as a republican because they are so dumb.

I believe this turned out to be false

I believe I watched the video way before AI was ever introduced back in 2015-2016.

Id love to see that if you have a link?

HERE is a link stating what I said was “false”. However, I do recall watching a video where he said this way back in 2015. It was one of the reasons me and my buddies shat so hard on conservatives. This was before voice replication was as good as it is now. I just don’t see how I can remember watching it, hearing it, and subsequently shitting on anyone who wanted to vote for him, since it is supposedly false, but I guess you guys are right.

Could be a mandela effect. It's definitely aligned with his character.

Yes. He also donated to Kamala when she was AG of CA.

Trump is whatever he thinks he needs to be at any one time that gets him the most.
