    I saw an article on this elsewhere, and immediately thought, “Oh. That is going to be misquoted, and spread across Lemmy like wildfire.”

    Sure enough, here it is!

    Here is the full transcript, for those interested:

    …She got killed even by the Democrats on that one. Can you imagine Kamala? She’s about two years late. She said, Did you hear that? She said, “We have to make the election too big to rig.” I said, “I can’t believe she…” She stole my line. She stole a lot of things that didn’t work out too well. But I want to see a tremendous victory. You want to see a tremendous victory because it verifies all the things we did. And again, remember with the word just artificial, it’s a little bit high. It’s a small price to pay for keeping the world safe, keeping our country safe. They can take out a city. Let them take out Los Angeles. Let them take out San Diego. This is a very small price to pay and it’s going to be over with very soon. It’s essentially almost over with and they might keep going a little long.

    They always say they have a big threshold for pain. They need it, let me tell you. They need it, but it’s going to end very soon, and it’ll end one way or the other and your gas and your gasoline and all of the things. And don’t forget, we also took on a country known as Venezuela. They never talk about that. They never talk about Venezuela. And we’re taking in hundreds of millions of barrels of oil every week. We’re pouring oil. We’re pouring oil into this country like nobody’s ever seen before. We took it over. China left. Russia left. They all left because they wanted them to leave, but they all left and we took over Venezuela. One hour and 48 minutes it took us. Nobody killed. Nobody killed. They don’t talk about that.

    We were in Vietnam for 21 years, hundreds of thousands of people gone. We were in Afghanistan. Take a look at Afghanistan. We were in Afghanistan for years. Everybody, years, years, years, years, thousands, thousands, thousands of people killed. So we’ve been in Venezuela for one hour and 48 minutes, took over the largest oil supply outside of our own in the world. Think of that. And even our own. We were number three or four in the world. Now we’re number one. We’re twice the size of Russia and Saudi Arabia combined without Venezuela, without. But they don’t talk about Venezuela. But it’ll end very quickly and prices are going to come down very sharply. You might say, “Please, please, sir, it’s going down too fast.” You watch what’s going to happen in a very short period of time. So, if you want to have any information on the vote, swampthevoteusa.com, to learn where and how to vote. Most of you pretty much know that…

    Trump is clearly saying “if you don’t vote for me, if we don’t do this, and Iran could take out San Diego or Los Angeles.”

    Not that I agree with Trump, to be clear. He’s rambling, and should be prosecuted.

    But he is being misquoted as clickbait.
