When the current American president says in a public speech, to put a bullseye on Trump, says he's worse than Hitler etc, etc what do they expect!! Trump will drain the swamp,.

[@kiwihorne1969]

Jerry Shuster stating Trump said "me not being president would lead to a bloodbath" is wholey dishonest and incredibly misleading. Trump stated that he was talking about there being an economic bloodbath if he wasn't elected president, because of Bidens mismanagement. Shuster lots his credibility with me in less than 4 minutes.

[@dallasfrost1996]

Yup, that statement was made towards the automotive industry in the States.

[@hubristicmystic]

Well he is a professor in a kiwi university. You can’t expect him to be an honest non leftist.

[@dfjtobin]

exactly, how can a professor be so uninformed? Trumps actual words: “Biden’s policies will create an economic bloodbath for the auto industry and autoworkers.”

I don't trust your guest! That talking point and what he said at the start of the year was in regard to automotive industry. His opponents took it out of context - as this professor has now to smear him.

[@yeahrightnotso]

Exactly right, the blood bath comment was the auto industry.

[@timeweston]

You're right. It's called 'bad faith' - quoting someone out of context is par for the course these days - especially with all things 'Trump'. This man is either dishonest or willfully ignorant.

They tell us he was a republican yet he donated to Democrat causes.

[@hartley9958]

Apparently he only just signed up as a Republican hmm i wonder why?, both his parents are full blown Democrats...

[@deanmaisey3460]

Correct, because it is free to register as a republican. And thus this allows him (or activists like him) to 'vote' in primaries to try to influence who the Republican party selects as their representative. Follow the money, as that usually gives a clearer indication of a persons political leanings.

[@dobbynp]

@@deanmaisey3460 yes so not truly a republican.

[@kungfutzu3779]

he only made one donation, aged 17, 3 or 4 years ago not even an adult yet. i'm prepared to accept that registering republican may not mean much but the donation probably means even less

Why is the platform deleting comments that don't support The story your guest is talking about ?

[@Marius_vanderLubbe]

Because they are mainstream media.

[@annekevandenberg8165]

Cause there are so many?

[@kiwicam6419]

Or is it KZbin doing that. There are plenty of unsupportive comments, but not sure who is doing what. I just know that YT will automatically delete comments that don't meet the good ole community guidelines.

😂Jerry Shuster is a Democrat voter, let's not forget that.

[@ranuiqh]

President Biden did make a controversial statement recently, declaring, "It's time to put Trump in a bullseye." This remark was made during a conversation with supporters and has sparked comparisons to past instances where political rhetoric was accused of inciting violence​ (The New York Sun)​.

[@ZARAJH-p9r]

Sorry Michael that Jerry guy seems not to have a clue as he mentioned the blood bath comments which were shown out of context and before he comments on such things he may need to do a little research and watch the speech or at least that part of and I am a little annoyed that you didn't challenge him on it

[@KiwiKirsty1983]

What's the "American mentality"? I think you are stereotyping a whole group of people. Not every American is the same. Some Americans have traveled most of their life from childhood to adulthood, got work and study experience overseas and are educated, well rounded people. People have different political views, that's life. Wherever people sit politically, its uneducated to stereotype an entire group of people.
