I tried to find a video of this on youtube, which I could not. I did however find a video of him making the same mistake 3 weeks ago in Pennsylvania, this time confusing it with North Carolina πŸ™„

https://www.youtube.com/live/9nfm-6_8mWg?feature=shared&t=14414 time code is in the link but its at 4:00:30 if it doesn't follow

Not sure really if its a gaffe or he just thinks he's talking to a national audience at these, either way what he says is stupid

[–] TheSlad@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It sounds like in this case hes not mistaking, just talking about an unrelated town in a different state as a talking point to bring up immigration?

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (3 children)

Yeah, and he's bringing up situations in different parts of the country as well, all to make whatever his point is (I guess immigration bad?).

Gotta admit that made it even more funnier

[–] morgunkorn@discuss.tchncs.de 55 points 1 month ago (2 children)

there was only a 2% chance to be correct, don't bash on him with such low odds!

[–] TheRealKuni@lemmy.world 37 points 1 month ago (1 children)

More like a 14% chance, since the only states that matter are PA, WI, NV, MI, AZ, GA, and NC.

[–] morgunkorn@discuss.tchncs.de 23 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Right no need to travel everywhere + all the venues where they won't let him in because he hasn't paid for the last time he went there

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 14 points 1 month ago (2 children)

The idea of Trump only campaigning in places where he doesn't have unpaid bills in is hilarious

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Maybe that's the real reason Giovanni had that press conference at four seasons landscaping. Make it look like someone made a dumb but relatable mistake instead of admitting that no one wanted to host them.

Were he able to read he could have had the place names on a card or autocue

Were he able to keep competent staff that cars or autocue might even be correct and updated since the previous stop

β€œHellllooooooo Saint Loooouiiiiiiis!”

β€œUh, it’s Springfield, Steven.”

β€œOh. Yeah, right. Are You Ready To Rock?!”

Are You Ready To Rock?!

"Not yet! Give us a few more minutes!"

[–] Karyoplasma@discuss.tchncs.de 25 points 1 month ago (4 children)

what does texting Trump to 88022 do? Is that like one of those 90s sex lines?

[–] usernamesAreTricky@lemmy.ml 29 points 1 month ago (5 children)

Realistically, it most likely signs you up for a deluge of spam texts about donations and the like to trump

[–] damnedfurry@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I get that shit already, and I've never texted any of these 5 digit numbers lol. They seem to come in waves (like I'll go months without getting any, then get them nearly daily for a few weeks, then quiet again), I've blocked so many numbers...

[–] ShadowAndFlame@mander.xyz 2 points 1 month ago

I already get those without having dialed anything

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Since they have to pay for all those texts, would signing up for that line and then blocking it cause them to lose money?

[–] usernamesAreTricky@lemmy.ml 13 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Your number will almost certainly be given to a variety of republican campaigns and see spam from many different numbers. Good luck blocking all of them

It would be satisfying to see them waste money on me. More satisfying than all the Democrats who beg me for money, anyway

[–] Crozekiel@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

So dont use your real phone number. Ez pz

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Spoof it from 88022

Might directly charge your carrier for $5 to his campaign

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (4 children)

How does he propose to "MAKE HOUSING AFFORDABLE AGAIN"? By interfering with the free market lol?

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Don't worry, he has a concept of a plan.

Would you like to buy Chinese dropshipped garbage, but in the most brilliant golden tones and for quadruple the price you'd see it on aliexpress? Then Text that number

[–] Snapz@lemmy.world 21 points 1 month ago (2 children)

"Many people call it Pennsylvania okay. Some call it Arizona, but many call it Pennsylvania too. Most say they don't even know what it's called but the ones who do, they call it Pennsylvania, okay? and you know that, and I know that and we know that, which is why nuclear, because my uncle, John trump, okay, and this guy was rough okay? Rough and tough, and BIG. okay big tears in his eyes and he says, "ummm Mr trump sir... Ummm ummm". But you can't do that anymore right, they don't let you, but that had, they called it Wharton business school. And you need to know business, you need to know DEALS okay, and they say, I mean you hear this, you hear many people saying this, that, "trump does deals". And the greats say it, you see orban, and they call him strong okay, I'm strong, she's not strong okay, golf it's heavy, you can't just do golf if you're a lady and you know that. But yeah, lady marmalade was what me and Jeff called this one girl, and she was.... I mean, you could do it in those days, and they'd let you and you did it and we all did it and it was great. And that's why okay, that's and you see the shirts and they say it, MAGA okay, MAGA, and it says "make an elephant grapes again" and that's really it. But the whole thing is just a hoax okay, and Hunter Biden did Hillary emails and it's, of course it is right? And it's sleepy joe ON STEROIDS we call it, and where is he now? You don't see him anymore, it's like he's not even running for president, but that's why I think Tim Waltz is gonna be the future vice president."

Look at that banner desperately trying to make the shooting relevant again, as if the country doesn't have more extreme shootings every day.

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Trump shootings are just a fact of life, we have to get over it.

[–] barsquid@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

Yes. I'm afraid all I can offer are some thoughts and prayers.

Now now, the poor man got a nick on his ear that healed within days and left no scar. He was lucky to survive an injury that gruesome.

[–] M0115732@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Too many states for this Reds lover to remember

[–] duckduckohno@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (2 children)

imagine if he wins and he is president when he is 82 years old...
