Will Saletan on Trash and Trump

With just days to go until Election Day, Donald Trump's campaign is reeling from remarks made by a comedian, while Kamala Harris is trying to recover from remarks made by President Joe Biden. Doesn't anybody know how to play this game?

Trump calls people he disagrees with "enemies from within", but Biden says anything and they clutch their pearls.

THIS IS WHERE PAST CHARACTER COUNTS — WHO DOESN’T TALK ABOUT PEOPLE THAT WAY AND WHO USUALLY DOES?

Two of my favorites--thanks for inviting Will Saletan!

Silver lining on Biden's gaffe is she gets to use it to distance herself from both Biden and Trump and put herself forward as a fresh new direction.

Er...hello? Has no one heard what comes out of Trump's mouth?

There was nothing in the context of "you'll never have to vote again" that supports Saletan's interpretation over the alternative.

I don’t want to hear again that “democrats should run a centrist candidate” that’s literally Kamala and people like WSJ and NR are still calling her a socialist and voters aren’t inspired

[MsFarrob]

I stopped everything to listen to your convo with Will Salatan. He's one of my favorite Bulwark peeps

You over look what The Top Military say about trump. Why are you wasting time defending trump?

[praktika]

People are misreading the Puerto Rico "joke."

The whole point of it was to offend. It was to trigger outrage from the "woke" crowds, which in turn would galvanize support from Trump's key constituency: White men. The whole exercise was meant to illustrate to white men how they now live in an America where white men can't joke about other groups. JD Vance doubled down on it by saying people shouldn't be so easily offended. It's all a part of a concerted effort to remind white men that if they want a white man's world, they need to vote for Trump.

Trump behaved as if he didnt want to win toward the end in 2016, too. Just saying.

[grovers_paradise]

Matt coming dangerously close to the line with that Kamala impression

[dominics]

Trying to cover for Biden or interpret what you thought he meant is embarrassing

[joshuamendez]

Biden should not have said that, however Trump and his supporters can fairly be labeled “garbage” IF they don’t denounce the racist jokes made at a political campaign.

Honestly I like edgy jokes, and those are fine, and I’d almost excuse the whole thing if the comedian made edgy jokes about Trump too, but he did not.

[MargaretHenning-jt]

Why discuss damaging things kamala has saif. To egat good end does this discussion achieve?

[Iddiiootts]

Will Saletan sickens me! He has the absolute worst takes. Him and his pony’s needs to keep their opinions to yourself
