Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

He's got a long history of stimulating oral sex acts in public.

Kimmel just featured trouty trump as a sex toy
And a similar one for JD as a couch cushion insert
Fixed. Imagine looking at this and your first thought is "blowjob" https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/bc04d81b-cb7b-40bb-b2a2-e41c86f37164.jpeg
I know furries who are less depraved than this, lol.
Imagine looking at this and desperately sanewashing Trump to pretend that he's not simulating oral sex with his mic at his pathetic rally.
'Come on, of course he's pretending to suck dick at a random time during a public speech on a completely unrelated topic!'
Listen to yourself, for crying out loud.
Is this monumental straw-grasp really where your attention should be focused, this close to the election?
Go ahead and explain in your own words what you think Trump is doing in this video.
I don't have to speculate about what I "think" he's doing, I actually saw the context directly. I know it might be a foreign concept to you, but I don't just blindly accept without question what I see on social media. You may be content to be this gullible, but I'm not, and that's a flaw on your part, not mine. Intellectual laziness.
He was talking about having problems with malfunctioning microphones, and was pantomiming messing with a mic and talking into it to see if it works. He did almost exactly the same thing with an actual dying mic in his hand not two minutes before this clip.
You're only making yourself look like more of a pornsick coomer by insisting so hard that he, for no apparent reason, just decided to start pretending to suck a penis.
The context is that Trump has had a long history of making sexual comments such as "grab them by the pussy" and comments on the size of Arnold Palmer's penis.
The other part of the context is that your entire Lemmy comment history is full of Trump apologia. You are the only person in this comment chain who is trying to explain away Trump's obvious sexual innuendo as something else, when the video is right there for everyone to see. And a user named "damnedfurry" accusing someone else of being a "pornsick coomer" for calling out Trump reeks of projection.
You must be mistaking Lemmy for Truth Social, because nobody on Lemmy is buying your garbage.
