1. Remember those simpler days

when Ford saying Poland was not under the domination of the Soviet Union cost him the election.

2. Stop Lying to Americans, Mr. republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief

Your republican "family values" are disgusting. Real Americans do not support lying. Get a clue. Try some honesty for a change.

republican role model Comrade Casino must abandon degenerate republican "family values" and adopt American values like honesty, respect, cooperation, and loyalty not to frikken russian mob boss money lenders, but to the United States of America.

3. Wait a minute...

Drugs cost less than candy?
Sorry Snickers, I'm gonna switch to horse.

4. Donald Trump is Al Czervik (Rodney Dangerfield)

and the normal leadership in Washington is the Judge.

"The man is a menace."

Everyone loves Caddyshack because of Czervik's desire to destroy the status quo. They just don't consider the consequences.

Of course Czervik is not nearly as odious as Trump.

6. Are you trying to say that addicts voted for you ???

Is that really something to brag about ???

[MGKrebs]

7. I know. What the hell is he trying to say there?

It's totally bonkers.
Usually I can kind of interpret what he is trying to say in his garbled way, but not this. I don't get it.

[SamKnause]

10. I think he was insinuating that New Hampshire voters thought he would

be able to stop the flow of drugs.

Remember on the campaign trail he said the border wall would stop the flow of drugs.

What a joke.

This country can't keep drugs out of maximum security prisons.

There is only 1 way drugs can get into prisons.

The guards over look those who smuggle them in.

I was just making a joke because everything about Trump and this administration is a sick joke.

The real kicker.

He didn't win New Hampshire.

Hillary did.

The man is insane.

I think his brain is diseased.

[PunkinPi]

12. Well, that's true...

there was a study done that communities that were most affected by the opiod addiction voted heavily for trump

[SamKnause]

14. I am aware.

I read the study.

But the addicts in New Hampshire didn't.

He lost in New Hampshire.

The man is insane.

I was just making a joke because Trump and his administration are a sick joke.

[PunkinPi]

15. Correct about NH, just posted a link as a reminder...

and the man baby is truly insane.

[SamKnause]

16. Good.

Hard to keep track of all his lies.

[MGKrebs]

8. That is complete lunacy.

That one statement:
1. He didn't win NH
2. Is NH a drug infested den?
3. Why would that be a reason that he (allegedly) won there?
4. What does his (alleged) winning have to do with the subject anyway?

Dude is in meltdown.

13. Hilarious!

9. Doubt King Delusional could find NH on a map.

Clinton won NH by 3000+ votes. This ought to go over well in Live Free or Die territory.

[smirkymonkey]

18. WTF is he talking about?

Hillary won NH, both the popular vote and their 4 Electoral votes. Does he think that nobody is going to follow up on his ridiculous lies?

Here's what he said in the Boston Globe:

"During the close of the campaign, Trump said he was unsure why people in a state so naturally beautiful would have a drug crisis.

“I said, ‘How does heroin work with these beautiful lakes and trees?’?” Trump said during a September rally in Bedford. “More than any place, this state, I’ve never seen anything like it with what’s happening with the drugs, more so than in other places and other places are a disaster. But we’re going to turn it around for New Hampshire.”

[yardwork]

19. That was quite a racist dog whistle of Trump's.

He thought heroin addiction was restricted to urban neighborhoods where "those people" live.

More and more, we see how blatant racism is driving Trump's worldview. Putin, by the way, is also extremely racist.

[Jim Lane]

20. He probably means he won New Hampshire in the primaries, which he did

In the Republican primary, Trump didn't win a majority in the crowded field, but he did take first place, with more than twice as many votes as second-place finisher John Kasich. This followed Ted Cruz's victory in Iowa. For Trump, getting his first win was an important development in his campaign. It would be natural for that win to be the first thing he thinks of in connection with New Hampshire.

Obviously, he could have been more precise in his statement. This wasn't a writing, though; it was a transcript of a phone call. Politicians far more careful about the truth than Donald Trump will sometimes, in speaking impromptu, omit useful qualifiers like "in the primary".
