Yesterday, Riley Gaines did something that I
didn't think she had it in her to do. Finished
in the top three in a swimming contest, I'm
kidding. No, criticized Donald Trump. She
said in response to that post, why? Seriously,
I cannot understand why he'd post this. Is
[00:00:15]
he looking for a response? Does he actually
think this? Either way, two things are true.
A little humility would serve him well, and
God shall not be mocked. Most of that is good
advice. I don't think that God cares about the
mockery because he doesn't exist. And if he
does exist, he's the creator of literally everything.
It's so weird to think that he would care about
[00:00:33]
being mocked. I will never understand that.
But she had kind of the right position here.
And then Donald Trump deleted the post. And
then he was asked if posts like hers had anything
to do with it. And she said this, I didn't listen
to Riley Gaines. I'm not a big fan of Riley
[00:00:51]
actually. oh Shots fire. Damn, fifth place,
tied with the trans person. And then now this,
the hits keep coming for Riley Gaines. He's
not a big fan of her. Did she speak at the
RNC? Why? Why are you not a fan of her? I mean,
I can think of one thing, and it might be that
[00:01:12]
I don't think Donald Trump really gives a damn
about trans people. And I don't mean in just
a cruel way, there's definitely that. I don't
think he cares about that issue. So he probably
thinks that she's a weirdo because she really
does. Remember, Donald Trump was attacking
[00:01:27]
Candace Owens for the transvestigations against
Bridget McCrone or whatever. I don't think
he actually believes that stuff. And think about,
gained her whole life, her whole personality,
her whole career to try to appeal to Donald
Trump. And now he just cast aside, I didn't
[00:01:45]
really like her, how dare she criticize me.
And you can't be surprised by that Riley. You've
seen him do that to 100 people before you. Why
did you think that you'd be different? Anyway,
here's how she responded to this. I love the
president and I'm so grateful he's in the Oval
Office. Of course, I'll continue to support
him in the America First agenda. At the end
[00:02:03]
of the day, I do nothing for the approval of
man. You do something for the approval of
all the men watching on Fox News. Our purpose
on this earth is to glorify him and all we
do. The True Social Post missed the mark. It's
now deleted. Amazing. We're imperfect people,
I know I am. I don't get my feelings hurt easy
and I know with the president it's really not
[00:02:22]
personal. No, but it was. He said he's not a
big fan of you. A person, that is what definitionally
personal means. He didn't say he's against
the position you hold. He didn't say he's against
the thing that you said. He's against you.
He's not a big fan of you. I want to spend
[00:02:38]
eternity in a real place called heaven, she
continues. I'd love for Trump to be there too.
Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. I'll
keep doing my part by speaking truth and doing
my best to lead others to Christ. And no, I
won't be selling merch with his insults on
them. Referencing the way that people like
Tucker Carlson responded to Donald Trump being
[00:02:57]
willing to set fire to his former allies or
whatever. So that sucks. on some level,
I get that she likes the crazy radical Christian
stuff that he is doing slash allowing. I get
that and so maybe him like doing an open hand
slap to your face rhetorically, they just brush
[00:03:17]
that stuff aside, you turn the other cheek.
Because it's more important that people lose
bodily autonomy, that trans people get pushed
into the shadows and that we continue to murder
Iranian schoolgirls. Maybe those goals of yours
are more important than sticking up for yourself
against this deranged, deluded, dementia ridden
madman, maybe. But I also know we're imperfect
[00:03:38]
people. Yeah, but But he didn't make a mistake
and own up to it. He didn't say, upon further
reflection, I can see how a lot of Christians
would think that I was sort of mocking Jesus
or whatever. So I decided to take it down and
I apologize to anyone whose feelings I hurt.
[00:03:54]
See how easy that was? He didn't do that. He
took it down, yeah. And then he lied to you
about while it was up. And he said, you know
what? You know why took it down? It's your
fault. Because you dumb donkeys don't understand
humor. You dumb donkeys, you humorless donkeys.
That's not being imperfect, that's being an
a-hole. That's being an unrepentant a-hole
[00:04:14]
with absolutely no humility, who wants you
to treat him with grace, but has never extended
it to a single other living creature in his
entire life. Weird life that Riley Gaines
lives. And I just want to remind everyone before
we move on, Donald Trump did not just start
portraying himself as Jesus. You can see here,
there on the left, he's portraying himself
[00:04:35]
as I think that's an EMT. And then there's
a golden, I'm joking, of course he put himself
as the Pope. Because screw the Pope, screw all
of this, it doesn't mean anything to him, nothing
does. He is the only thing in this universe
that he thinks matters. And he creates the
[00:04:51]
golden statue of himself, and he's got the
golden cab slash cankles. And he constantly
put this stuff like, he's on a mission from
God and nothing can stop what is coming. But
in his defense, he didn't make that meme.
Some other MAGA person did. They've been flooding
[00:05:10]
the internet with this savior stuff. He alone
can save us. He was saved by God. Riley Gaines,
I'm sure has said, God moved that bullet to
the side and let it kill some freaking peasant.
I don't care about that, but it didn't kill
Trump because Jesus saved Trump to save us.
[00:05:27]
You guys have been talking about him in that
way. So can you really be surprised when he
talks right back in the exact same way?
