When Trump says “most people” he’s talking about himself.
He literally never isn't talking about himself.
Omfg I truly understand the definition of narcissism now. Ty not/s
Okay grandpa, let's get you to ~~bed~~ prison.
Most people probably dont know what an android app bundle is
Im not sure how that would matter in any context
I didn't see what he said, I should hunt myself but can someone re-recommend a way I can see said footage without going on Twitter. If not, I'll pass on giving their advertisement companies views
in here somewhere. godspeed.

edit: I have no life.
Thank you kind soul. May the road always rise up to meet you
Lol that is probably the funniest way to give a source I've seen
Also as a note in general:
As far as I can tell kamalahq account posts the same twitter posts to their threads account. So you can avoid going to twitter by just looking for the exact same post on threads
So go from one shitty company to another?
Independent of the campaign there's also a bluesky mirror someone set up but it doesn't have video mirrored. I know bluesky has only just recently started rolling out video support, however
Thank you!
This happens when the opposite side turns on the propaganda machine on that specific subject (which when Biden was a possibility wouldn't make sense).
He's old and has been for a while, and I'm all for kamala. Just interesting how that flaw was "overlooked" when it was convenient.
If he shuffles off this mortal coil he'd leave Vance in charge. I don't know why more hadn't been made of this fact.
Maybe the couchnutter is an attempt to stop further assassination attempts? Prop up a VP that's even more deranged and unlikable, so people reconsider if it's worth it to off you?
...and hope that the actual P doesn't bite the dust on his own?
Or maybe that's the gamble at this point
Everyone who understands that Vance is an inexplicably married incel will already be voting against Donald.
This is a perfect candidate for the gunius/idiot bell curve meme
I just can't imagine Trump using any technology whatsoever. I'm impressed he manages to send tweets off.
I imagine he hunts and pecks with one hand while holding it in the other while squinting to read the letters (also nice name fello frog)
Why howdy to you too 🐸🫱🎩
As much as I despise Trump, I don’t disagree. I’m sure he’s saying that for stupid reasons, but most people are way more tech illiterate than they should be. I know bc I used to be tech support
Most people don't know "what" anything is in that case. Cars? Most people don't know what a clutch master cylinder is - they just know how to use the car. Most people don't know what an app is, since they don't understand the code language it was built in. Sure, they know how to use it but without knowing Java, it may as well be magic. Vaccines! No one knows what they are! There's no simple explanation so everyone who's ever used a vaccine has no idea what they are!
The average person does not have specialized knowledge about anything, even things ubiquitous to modern life.
Yeah, Trump is technically right here but at the end of the day, I don't really care if a firefighter knows exactly how every app on their phone works, just as long as they know how to put out fires and maybe rescue cats from trees.
Maybe? You don't want cats to be rescued? Are you JD Vance?
More that I wish cats would just climb down themselves, ya know?
Not to give the orange turd credit here, but I think it’s fairly obvious that Trump isn’t saying that most people can understand the code, but rather he’s saying that most people don’t have an understanding of how much an app can aid the wrong kind of people.
Yeah, he’s an idiot, and I entirely disagree, but you just went on a whole entire tangent about a position that I neither expressed or hold. Chillax, bro.
If you were working tech support of course you're going to interact with more "tech illiterate" people. That doesn't mean the "most people" are tech illiterate, you were just dealing with a high volume of them, giving that impression.
Oh yes, please tell me more about my personal experience, random stranger. Obviously, I’m going to come across more tech illiterate people on the phone, but to the extent that I did for the dumbest reasons would be enough for me to conclude that yes, most people have no clue what they’re talking about or what they’re doing. Literally way less knowledge than they should.
You came across many very dumb people, therefore most people are dumb. Seems logical. I work with thousands of meat workers, therefore most people must be meat workers. Your experience is more or less selection bias.
OK, I shouldn't have mentioned my past job, but it goes way beyond just tech support. The tech support experience just highlights the fact that most people are tech illiterate. There are studies that literally confirm this. https://www.nngroup.com/articles/computer-skill-levels/
Ask any person above the age of, say, 40 (I’m not looking this up, but in Western countries that should suffice to qualify for ‘most’ pople) what an app is, exactly. I wonder what the response will be.
40 is ridiculous. I'm 49. Our generation essentially invented the internet, cell phones, etc. you may have been born to the darkness but we created it.
Idk, but I think you'd have to go a lot higher have that. Like, your parents know what an app is. Maybe your grandparents don't, but mine do. So I think it would basically have to be like people over 70 or something
So you're saying, when Trump says "most people" he means "me " but has to make it sound like he's not alone in any thinking ?
100% of the time he means himself but not for that reason.
he does this because he hasn't developed theory of mind. because he doesn't care about other people enough to do that.
Yes exactly. When he says "people," e.g. "people are saying, everyone says, etc" or "you" or whatever, he means him. Additionally most accusations are admissions. People are eating cats? He's probably eating cats. People are committing sex crimes? He's committing sex crimes. People don't know what an app is? He doesn't know what an app is, etc.
a 40 year old is a kid in 2000. their formative years were spent on the Internet.
Lolol above 40? Look up when the first iPhone came out.
I think your comment says more about how young you are than how out of touch "old" people are.
Lol, 40 years old elder here. Last year, my college mandated me to create a new course on how to use a computer because most of our new students can't figure out how to install a plugin. The young generation is way less tech-savvy than they think they are, trust me on this.
Yes, those who grew up with smartphones are lost, too.
Aren't immigrants supposed to be using a phone app to contact Kamala and enter illegally in the us or something? If that's the case, they should be hired to teach "most people" jow too install an app. I hear MacDonald's have a great one.
"Ah man, I forgot my password."
"What's the hint?"
"'What is tasty?'"
"Hmm... Interesting philosophical question there. What is tasty? Is a thing tasty on its own or is it merely how one perceives it? Can anything truly be considered tasty, in an objective way...?"
"Oh! I remember. Candy. Candy is tasty!"
