Trump has promised to endorse Jake Paul if the controversial YouTuber-turned-boxer ever runs for office.

Trump made the remarks yesterday during a speech at a packaging facility in Kentucky, after being joined on stage by the influencer.

The president’s declaration of support followed a brief speech by Paul, who later posted a video of the pair hitting Trump’s now infamous YMCA dance.

I really thought Jake Paul would dissapear from public perception after the suicide forest incident but instead its always getting fucking worse with that guy. Gonna piss on his grave.

    Jake and Logan Paul are the archetypical rich kids who grew to be narcissistic and functionally sociopathic.

    Those two assholes would never shy away from the spotlight. And the dumbfuck iPad kids who grew up idolizing them remain as their loyal incel fanbase to this day.

    Also, not that it matters because they're basically the same person, but that was Logan Paul who did the Suicide Forrest video.

    About 1/3rd of the US is still vehemently supporting Trump.

    Don't underestimate how massive (nor incredibly fucking stupid) the cult is.

    Sure but we can backtest the power of the Trump endorsement, and even as early as 2018, it didn't mean shit. Something thats been academically notable about Trump is how their ability to defy polling or elevate surprising candidates isn't transferable. Trumps endorsement has never meant a sure thing, and right now? You'd be better off getting Harris's endorsement.

    This is a grift, I promise. There will be some stupid fucking crypto or something. He'll lose. Then he'll go work for OAN or some shit.

    Sir, I hate to disappoint, but you've actually crossed into the timeline where politicians in the next decade will actually compete at how many babies they can eat at one sitting. The mask is off....

    Maybe you haven't checked the polls lately.

    The president had an 83% approval among Republicans, a 3% approval among Democrats and a 28% approval among independent voters, as well as a 48% approval among men and 28% approval among women. The survey also found that 53% of voters oppose military action in Iran, 40% support it and 7% are undecided.

    83% approval from his base. Crazy. The rich boomers LOVE war.

    Another poster made a great point that, however well Trump does and continues to do in polls of his base, that support isn't necessarily transferrable to other candidates. And indeed, often it's counter intuitively counter productive.

    That's the trend. An endorsement might help in the Primary, but it's death in the General.

    After the Midterm bloodbath, MAGA candidates will understand that Trump is a liability, and will not be seeking Trump's endorsement. We might even see anti-MAGA Republican campaigns.

    What can Jake Paul's credibility among far-right people be after a Black person broke his face? How could Paul protect MAGA women and children from the horde of non-whites if he couldn't even defend himself?

    Pretty reasonable for mine. Encouragement of self harm and all that, not like I feel sorry. Would probably say far worse to the profligates face, know damned well that I've said worse to actual humans I care about.

    Regardless the mods still have to watch their collective ass, letting Lemmy as a whole devolve into a bloodlusted fuckfest could cause problems.

    That's an insult to President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Camacho, and you will speak of that fictional moron with respect. He was still a leader that wanted the best for his countrymen, and knew well enough to defer to the smartest man in the room. That's about as far from Trump as you can get in terms of "vibes".

    Im kinda conflicted. I really hate his policies but im kinda impressed he can be so loud and proud at his age and retain his base. I notice a lot of his base are now up for doing those things to. So its no longer being shamed the way it used to.
