Donald Trump didn’t win Man of the Year, but this rambling non-answer is a shoo-in for the BS of the Campaign trophy

Poke Staff. Updated September 29th, 2024

If you thought the sharks and boats nonsense was bad, just get a load of this epic non-answer that Trump gave to a question about how he would keep jobs in the US.

It’s an example of what he describes as ‘The Weave’, but which most other people would describe as BS.

“So pretty much as we’ve been saying …and what I want to do is I want to be able to, look, your business …years ago in this area, I was honoured as the ‘Man of the Year’, was maybe twenty years ago, and the fake news heard about it, they said, “It never happened, it never happened”.

And I didn’t know who it was, it was a group that honoured me as “Man of the Year.” The fakers back there, see the fake news? But they said they said “Ooooh” and they looked and they said it never happened, but I said “I swear to you it happened. It did happen.” I was Man of the Year.

And I came, I made a speech and said, “Why do you allow them to take your car business away? Why do you allow it to happen? They’re taking your business away.” And I didn’t know too much about …all I know is they were taking your car industry away from you. They said it never happened. And lo and behold, somebody said “I remember the event” and then we found out we had everything. We got the awards, we, and everything. It DID happen.”

Where’s that ‘Person, woman, man, camera, TV’ questionnaire when you need it?

The icing on the cake was this extremely well-supported Community Note, addressing Trump’s Man of the Year claim.
