    No, thanks, I made sure. He was asked how to fix the country and he said he couldn’t care less. This is his response to a very simple question. Here’s the copy paste from the article though 🤷🏽‍♂️

    During a Fox News interview Friday morning, Trump was asked what his administration was doing to curb extremism emanating from the political left and right in light of conservative activist Charlie Kirk’s murder Wednesday.

    “I’ll tell you something that’s going to get me in trouble, but I couldn’t care less,” the president responded. “The radicals on the right oftentimes are radical because they don’t want to see crime. They don’t want to see crime.”

    “They’re saying, ‘We don’t want these people coming here. And we don’t want you burning our shopping centers. We don’t want you shooting our people in the middle of the street,’” Trump added, appearing to nod to instances of right-wing vigilantism in recent years.

    “The radicals on the left are the problem. They’re vicious, and they’re horrible,” Trump said. “And they’re politically savvy, although they want men in women’s sports. They want transgender for every one. They want open borders.”

      It does sound like the “couldn’t care less” remark was referring to the idea that he was going to “get in trouble” for saying what he did, with the actual answer being so much worse. Something I’m compelled to point out though:

      Transgender for everyone? Regardless of the fact that that’s not how sentences work…what?

      That doesn’t really change anything. He and MAGA believe going forward without the left is the way to fix America. So characterizing your perception of what would fix American onto his words makes it innacurate. MAGA believes what their doing is fixing America, so they do want to fix American, they are not refusing to fix it as your post suggests except that you believe their path won’t fix it.

      This is literally misinformation on social media and you are a source.

        No. Trump is saying that political violence against the left is justified. He’s a fucking monster.

          And you and him disagree that violence would fix America, not that he doesn’t want to fix it.

            If he wanted to fix it, he wouldn’t have rejected the election or been inflamming political violence for the last ten years. And if he truly wanted to fix the country, he should’ve never ran for president again or to begin with.

        At first, denial. Second if it is, it doesn’t mean much. Are always this inept or just when you try to argue about big boy things and don’t have your big boy pants on?

        His title is President of the UNITED STATES not the President of just the GOP. So no, it is not misinformation to say that the rancid sack of shits job IS to care about this.

        I do not CARE what President ‘Tells It Like It Is’ MEANT. He said he doesn’t care about fixing this shit show, and he tells it like it is.

          If he gets his way, president of the GOP and president of America becomes the same thing. If you don’t care what he meant then you don’t care to understand him and that makes your fight against him all the more difficult.

            Kay, well, I don’t need a PHD deep dive of a fucking narcissistic pedos brain to know that he’s not doing his fucking job and doesn’t care about this country. If you want to play pedantic games, please go do them in someone else’s notifications. I am not a politician. I’m not a podcast host or grand debate guru. I am a dude making memes to stay sane as these fuckin idiots tear apart the country/world.

        No, Trump literally said the words “I couldn’t care less”. It isn’t ‘characterizing’ anything.

          He didn’t say he didn’t care about fixing America but that he cares about fixing it without the left. Elimination of the left is fixing it to him and MAGA.
