Because one, she would actually say something like this (I have doubt Trump actually said this), and two, she will be serious (If Trump did say this it was probably as a joke).

@SteilLaw , I did. I don't see strong evidence showing that Trump actually said this in a serious manner. Just he said she said.

@KL-lt8rc , I don't know as I wasn't there. Neither your were. I don't know about the Greenland issue so I can't comment. Climate change is pushed hard by the far left and is, arguably, a conspiracy. Not saying it isn't happening as it is. Just saying there is a lot to it that is not being addressed to the public and a lot of misinformation is being presented by the left. Read the book "Why We Disagree About Climate Change" by prof. Mike Hulme. You can give me a list as long as you want about Trump. I can do it for other politicians as well. The reality is this, they are catering to useful idiots. Most of society do not get their information from experts giving out a detailed analysis on an issue (that book I recommended is over 400 pages long). They rather hear talking points and be entertained. Welcome to politics.
1
@H-Crown , funny how I am the one who constantly cites experts.
1
@KL-lt8rc , I don't have time to watch all of the news. Also, it takes more than a few seconds to become educated on things. This is why we have useful idiots like yourself. Notice how I am intelligent enough not to comment on something I don't know? Have you read the book? I doubt it. Every politician says foolish things simply to cater to useful idiots.
1
@mgenetos , AOC has a long history of saying dumb things. Every politician says foolish things to cater to a group of useful idiots, that's politics. But I feel that most of our politicians are very intelligent. And I feel that every president in the history of this nation, including Trump, was/is intelligent. AOC, however, I feel is a moron and the political left really needs to silence here as she is making them look bad.
1
@coletrickle1775 , how about how AOC recently went to a rural part of the nation, filmed it claiming that the electoral college is bad. She is saying that people who live in flyover states don't matter. That is really asinine. I feel that most of our politicians are very intelligent, they just cater to an ignorant society. But AOC is a moron. What she is good at is that she does have charisma and a cute face, but she is absolutely dumb.
1
You have to consider the tone if he actually said that. If he said it as a joke to change the mood of the meeting than what is the big deal? Kyle is acting like TYT and the main stream media and reporting something before all the facts came out.
1
@thepolishlatinofromphilly9709 , how do you know if that is how people actually responded?
1
@BHOPDaMaestro , nothing really. This is politics. Every politician says foolish things as we are a nation of useful idiots. People rather watch talking heads and politicians say talking points as opposed to an expert give a detailed analysis on the issues. Watch this video on that https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3miF4KqOMA Obama said that we needed "common sense gun laws". I felt that was stupid to say, but that's politics.
1
@BHOPDaMaestro , so you refuse to challenge yourself?
1
He can. Bernie is pushing radical ideas. The issue with Bernie is that the onus is on him in how he will enforce his policies without completely changing the structure of our society. He can't do it.
1
@JustinHmusic , they are radical because his ideas will require completely transforming how our economy and society functions. To give you one small example, in tuition free college how do you handle the NCAA? When you break it down you find out that minor issue is very challenging. Now apply that to healthcare where people's lives are on the line. Also, what he wants is not what other nations do. The Nordic nations he points to have more of a flat tax, have lower corporate taxes and less regulations Bernie wants the welfare system of the Nordic nations but the taxation and regulations of the US. He is cherry picking.
1
@MultiRusty9 , they don't think. Watch this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3miF4KqOMA He lays it out well. People rather watch politicians or talking heads give out short talking points as opposed to listening to actual experts give out a lengthy, detailed analysis on the issues. When I give them one, or point to them sources they just name call. They refuse to realize these issues are complex. Also, the platform of the far left, like Bernie supporters, is this 1. There is a problem 2. The solutions are simple and without consequences 3. They are popular 4. If you disagree you are a bigot, ignorant or corrupt. When that is your starting point you have no room for growth.
1
@thepolishlatinofromphilly9709 , do you know how the NCAA functions? I will give you a starting point. In the NCAA there are three divisions, Division I, Division II, and Division III. Do you know how the schools are split up?
1
@thepolishlatinofromphilly9709 , also, the fact that you have to ask is a sign you haven't put any thought into this.
1
@thepolishlatinofromphilly9709 , so you don't know how the NCAA functions? Ok, well, the different divisions are split up based on scholarship limitations the teams can offer athletes. For example, all Division III athletes are walk ons, zero scholarships. In football Division II has 36 full ride scholarships that can be split up. In Division I FBS they have 85 full ride scholarships. Thus the larger schools get the better athletes, but smaller ones can still get good athletes and place a competitive product on the field in their division. Also, there are limits such if you are a scholarship athlete in football and want to run track you have to receive a scholarship in track. That prevents larger schools from hoarding all the athletes such as the football team picking up track athletes, who are on scholarships, to play for them without using up a scholarship. Now if you make tuition free college you remove the need for scholarships. So how do you handle the NCAA at that point who will have to drastically change their system?
1
@thepolishlatinofromphilly9709 , and yes, it means you put no thought into this as you did not consider how a lot of these programs run. If you are going to create tuition free college you should consider how it functions now through out it is funded and what will change.
1
@runeh3022 , they are not mainstream. No nation wants to completely transform their economy and society. Also, there are many things he does not want to implement that other industrialized nations do. For example, the Nordic nations have more of a flat tan than we do, they have lower corporate tax rates, and they have less regulations They also have stricter immigration laws.
1
@thepolishlatinofromphilly9709 , so you just want them to figure it out? That is a typical Bernie Sander's like response and that is what Hickenlooper meant about Bernie throwing out a plan and leaving everyone else to pick up the pieces. Ok, here. Under Bernie's M4A plan many jobs in the healthcare insurance company will be lost. How do you handle the job loss of middle class Americans in that field? Do you want them to figure it out as well?
1
@thepolishlatinofromphilly9709 , so you don't care about middle class individuals losing their jobs?
1
C W , the horse to cars was done over time and through the free market. It wasn't immediately going from horses and no cars to no horses and just cars. It was gradual. Same with telegraphs and phones. I know changes happen but they should happen over time, not immediately. And again, your examples are from the free market, not government force.
1
@thepolishlatinofromphilly9709 ,uh, it is far more complex than that. The kids don't have to play. You don't have to play if you want to go pro, and a very small percentage actually goes pro. And the kids do see a lot of that money with insurance, nice facilities, tutors, etc.
1
@thepolishlatinofromphilly9709 , it isn't that if the athletes want to go pro, they all do. Only 2% go pro, and their lifespan at the pro level is short. And yes, how the NCAA functions does make tuition free college challenging. You completely transforming a major part of the university system. Let me ask you another question since you are refusing to address the NCAA. How about enrollment. What if every student in AZ wants to attend ASU? That means ASU will have to turn away people who are qualified in paper. Now you have lawsuits taking place. How do you handle that?
1
@whyispinkysoinsane7898 , I actually work for the NCAA and worked in athletics in my undergrad.
1
Damian Cairns , why not? Athletics plays a very important role in education for both athletes and non athletes. Many non athletes are involved such as students in filming that film games and practices. Students in athletic training. Students in marketing advertising sporting events. Students in equipment.
1
@thepolishlatinofromphilly9709 , high schools have zoning laws. That is how they limit enrollment. Are you going to zone colleges?
1
C W , the local government built the roads, not the federal government.
1
@JustinHmusic , you are just throwing numbers out there with no details or analysis. Going through each point "So you don’t think it’s radical that 49% of all new income goes to the top 1%?" That is factually not true. " You don’t think it’s radical that 30-45k people die every year due to a lack of basic healthcare coverage" People die in every nation due to lack of access to healthcare. Amenable mortality is an issue in every nation. So you have to ask, is that 45,000 high, low or the norm? Also, as Prof. Katherine Baicker said, do they die due to lack of access or due to being in bad health to begin with? Typically when people die they have a lot of health issues, not just one. Read the book "Being Mortal" for more details. " 30-40 million Americans don’t have health insurance, and one of the leading causes of bankruptcy in the US is medical bills?" Yes, that is an issue. But giving them coverage will cost a lot and will bankrupt the nation. Or if we go Bernie's route of cutting pay where M4A will cut pay by 40%, than you will have quality and accessibility issues. The US system offers more MRIs and CT scans to patients for a reason. Something has to give. "You don’t think it’s radical that we have over a trillion dollars in student loan debt, " No. College is an investment. Like a business owner pulls out a loan to start a business. "You don’t think it’s radical that half of working people in this country are making $30k or less, 76% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck?" Of those earning $30,000 or less, what is their household income? What is their cost of living? What benefits do they receive to offset the cost? As for the 76%, how many are poor at money management? Around 70% of lottery winners go bankrupt. " You don’t think it’s radical that Trump passed a tax bill in which 83% of the benefits go to the top 1% over a ten year period, and actually raises taxes on people making $75k a year or less over that same time period? " The top 1% pay most of the taxes to begin with. You can't cut from zero that the lower income brackets paid. And the reason why the middle class tax cuts are not permanent is because the Senate did not get the 60 votes. But notice how it expires in 10 years when we will have a new president and essentially a new congress? So no, I don't see any of that as radical. You have to give me more details to convince. I am willing to admit that some of Bernie's policies may be best for this nation, but they require a lot of discussion and a lot of details before simply passing them.
1
@comingviking , how do you educate a nation? One way is with hands on experience. Consider the many students who are not athletes that work in athletics such as student trainers, students studying marketing, student equipment managers, etc. Also, by the time you are done with a K-12 education you should be able to educate yourself. If you feel the government should educate you than you are in trouble.
1
Damian Cairns , uh, it is very important.
1
@ZXD7250 , it matters.
1
@ZXD7250 , Bernie wants top down government ran policies. The more local government is the more it serves the people. That is why it matters. Bernie wants more of a fascist approach. Also, if you want to use the standard of roads consider the many dirt and gravel roads or roads with pot holes we have. Seems pretty inefficient to me. And you want that same government managing your healthcare?
1
Damian Cairns , actually the US has the best university system in the world. That is why we have the most international students in the world. College sports is very important. It provides opportunities for both athletes and non athletes. Consider the student workers in equipment, marketing, parking and security, athletic training, etc.
1
Damian Cairns , this is a huge problem with the far left and tuition free college. They feel an "education" is sitting in class, taking notes and doing tests and home work. There is way more to it than that. There is a huge part of it being hands on.
1
@comingviking , how would M4A save lives? And yes, the Nordic nations have more of a flat tax compared to the US. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQwBA2QlJ3w&t=164s
1
Damian Cairns , how do you define a great school? In the US almost anyone can attend a college of some sort. In other nations they track their students and prevent some from attending. Other nations may have top rated colleges such as Oxford, but what about lower tier colleges? Also, top tier colleges is usually based on research and publications and not based on the success of undergrads. It is hard to compared Oxford to a Laney College. They have different goals. Community and Junior colleges in the US help provide education to low income people and individuals who may not have done well in the K-12 system for many reasons. In a nation like the UK they don't have 2 year colleges for 18 year olds. Mostly it is for mature students who are in high school age and can attend college early before going to a university. Oxford university will be great for advanced students looking to do research. So you have to factor that in as well. Most of those nations college is essentially for the elites where in the US most have the opportunity to attend college. As someone from Germany told me, there he was tracked for a trade school. He moved to the US and is now earning his PhD.
1
Damian Cairns , our university system is unique and provides the most opportunity to the most people. Other nations track students and restrict who can go where, if they can attend college at all. It is same with their healthcare system. Sure the government pays for it and it is cheaper, but you are limited in how much healthcare you can receive.
1
@ZXD7250 , saying the government funds something is not detailed enough. What level funds it is important. Pointing to roads to make an argument for the federal government to do tuition free college or M4A is a poor argument.
1
@whyispinkysoinsane7898 , it isn't as you are fundamentally changing how a major program functions. It is what Hickenlooper said, Bernie wants to throw out a plan and leave everyone else picking up the pieces. I choose the NCAA as it is the easiest approach. Now consider M4A where actual lives are on the line. Who is going to help manage the transition to that?
1
@God_Is_An_Atheist , the US offers more CT scans and more MRIs compared to other nations. Your nations caps how much care you can receive. Is that good or bad? That is debatable. But what isn't is that in the US you have access to more advanced care much quicker. I suggest you read the book "In Excellent Health" by prof. Scott Atlas. He outlines how the US is superior in quality and accessibility when it comes to advance care. Where we struggle in is giving basic care to every, including the very poor at an affordable price. Every other nation does that well, but they do so by limiting how much advanced care you can receive, if you receive any at all.
1
@whyispinkysoinsane7898 , I never said M4A will lead to less lives being saved. I have said many times that M4A might be the best route. My issue is that it is a complex situation and the far left refuses to talk. Also, history does bring up skepticism as well. Look at the Community Mental Health Act and how when it was passed mental healthcare became worse in our nation as the federal government only open half of the facilities they said they would leading to more patients being released early.
1
@firespinnr , is he considering nuking hurricanes? Also, I did not distract anyone from anything, I am pointing out how Bernie is proposing radical ideas with zero thought. We don't fully know what will happen if his ideas are passed, but we can make some predictions. With the NCAA they will have to completely restructure they way they function. The tuition limitations evens the playing field for schools because without it schools will pay athletes where most schools simply can't afford it, only the large ones. What I am actually trying to do is educate people here. Both sides of the aisle take advantage of useful idiots. Bernie is simply taking advantage of useful idiots like yourself, so does Kyle. You see this with politicians and you see this with political talking heads on both sides like MSNBC or Fox, or Jimmy Dore or Ben Shapiro. These people are not experts on issues they talk about. I suggest you start listening to actual experts on these issues and not some politician or talking head. These issues are complex and ignoring that part and not listening to experts is going down a very dangerous path. Let me ask you, what makes you think Kyle and Bernie know so much?
1
@firespinnr , both sides say asinine things, welcome to politics. Remember how Bernie said this https://www.theblaze.com/news/2015/12/26/bernie-sanders-mercilessly-mocked-for-posting-economically-illiterate-tweet or this https://dailycaller.com/2015/12/29/bernie-sanders-xmas-eve-global-warming-alarmism-berned-in-a-single-tweet/ But sure, give him a pass.
1
@firespinnr , as for supporting Trump, politicians on both sides say foolish things. I can give a long list of what Bernie says. They are catering to useful idiots. Welcome to politics. Again, I recommend you seek out actual experts on these topics but still have skepticism when you do.
1
The "level of details". It mentioned a "source" but no name is attached to it. This is why people are skeptical of the media. Who actually believes this story?
1
@beaverones41 , this happens all to often. I can't believe a source if there is no name attached. And why do you think Trump would say this?
1
C W , if you want to attack every politician in that way than you have to be fair. Every politician says something foolish.
1
@beaverones41 , every politician says stupid things. Welcome to politics and welcome to our society of useful idiots. Trump is more blunt about it but Obama said many things that were foolish in my opinion as well to cater to useful idiots. Welcome to politics. The problem we have in our society with politics and the media is that people want to be entertained, not informed. Watch this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3miF4KqOMA Videos that give short talking points and appeal to emotions get the views, not the one with an actual detailed analysis on an issue by actual experts. Look at Kyle. He gets a respectable amount of views but never goes into details on the issues. People rather watch him shout out talking points about climate change and healthcare as opposed to listening to an actual expert like Mike Hulme or Katherine Baicker. So when Trump says something you feel is stupid, bear in mind every politician does it. It is to cater to useful idiots in our society.
