Trump bombs in disaster Fox News interview - Pondering Politics

[TexasTowelie]

Summary

Jessiah analyzes Donald Trump's recent Fox News interview with Will Cain regarding the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti, an American citizen killed by ICE agents in Minneapolis.

Key Points:

The Alex Pretti Incident:

• Trump avoided calling Pretti a "domestic terrorist" (as some administration officials had) but criticized him for carrying a lawfully obtained firearm
• Jessiah argues this stance contradicts Second Amendment principles, as Pretti had a holstered gun and never brandished or used it
• Trump called the incident "very unfortunate" but appeared to care more because Pretti's family were "Trump fans"

Trump's Statements:

• On guardrails: Trump explicitly stated "I don't need guardrails. I don't want guardrails"
• On impeachment: Suggested Democrats would impeach him again if they retake Congress
• On immigration enforcement: Defended ICE operations but acknowledged getting "one person a little bit wrong" (referring to American citizens killed)
• On the economy: Claimed inflation is "solved" and prices are "coming way down," which Jessiah disputes

Commentator's Analysis: Jessiah argues Trump is "trying to have a foot in both worlds" - attempting to appear conciliatory while maintaining his hardline stance. This approach allegedly alienates multiple groups: Second Amendment conservatives, MAGA supporters who want no concessions, and those opposed to aggressive immigration enforcement.

1. Where is the evidence the Pretti family were "Trump fans?" I don't believe it.

As to Renee Nicole Good's "father," it was later reported but not widely corrected, that the so-called "Trump fan" was her STEPFATHER not her biologic parents.

So many lies...

4. They have principles

Like, Me first , I'm number one, talent on loan from God, I'm a real Man, American, Patriot, ect. (The self flattery principle) And also, Let's not forget what principled liars they all are, to stick together each and every time no matter how absurd
