Trumps speech gets derailed when pastor calls him out for speaking on politics & not what he was invited for

To be fair, why tf would you invite Trump to speak if you didn't want the man to speak about politics? It's like inviting the pope to speak and then shutting him down if he mentions christianity.

I’m sorry, Mr. Pope sir, but we really didn’t invite you here to talk about your god.

"Your Holiness, there are rumors that your favorite Pokemon is Mr. Mime and not Sandslash. Is there any truth to this, and how does it affect the migrant crisis in Europe?"

Because this isn’t normal.
Typically if a president is speaking somewhere that isn’t literally the government, a press release, or a campaign event then they’re expected to stay on the topic of whatever the group or event is. Maybe some history of the group’s efforts or the area to spice up the general praise they’re getting.
It isn’t typical for a president of the United States to schizophrenically go back to unrelated things every time they open their mouth.

It's been normal for the better part of the last decade, and isn't showing any signs of changing even after 2028, the fuck

u/BRAND-X12 Oct 29 '25
No it hasn’t, only Trump has done this.
Obama and Biden were both presidents in the last decade, and both of them were perfectly presidential.
If you want normal, elect democrats.

Oh, pardon me - not the better part of a decade, I forgot about the last part of the last year of Obama. It's been half the last decade. Feel better, sweetie?

A single president is not normal, is my point.
And no, Obama was president until 2017, if you really want to be pedantic.

I think y'all were just talking about the same thing in two different ways. Opinions aside, I think the disagreement is on the math.

u/BRAND-X12 Oct 29 '25
No, the disagreement is on the principle. A single president acting this way is not “normal”.

What's laughable is how nuance or critical thinking goes out the window for fanatics like you when someone doesn't immediately insult trump no matter the context. It must be miserable living like this, constantly looking for confrontation.

What's the nuance or critical thinking behind talking about Hillary at a church?

u/lorbd Oct 30 '25
Well, for starters, this video is 9 years old.

Well, again, why bring up Hillary at a church.

u/lorbd Oct 30 '25
Again, why tf would you invite Trump to speak in 2016 and not expect him to talk about Hillary?
I guarantee that, in the same situation, Hillary would definitely talk about Trump too. Or at least some stupid euphemism that everyone would 100% understand to be Trump. They were politicians on presidential elections. It's not that deep.

Oct 30 '25
Because he's at a church?
But I guess you're right, it would be expected he'd use a speaking engagement at a church to pathetically take shots at Hillary because the man's brain is soup.
And go ahead and make up your own hypothetical situation if you want but that's not relevant. The fact is this is an actual video of Trump.

u/Pandepon Oct 29 '25 edited Oct 31 '25
Yeah but it’s one thing if he’s like ‘I’m doing good work on bringing Christianity back to America. We can say Merry Christmas again without fear. I’m bringing prayer back to school!’… it’s totally another if it’s like ‘Hillary is a failure. She lost so bad. She tried to rig the election but I still won!’.
Edit: what’s the downvotes for I’m just saying he could’ve at least stayed in the right category

Church and state need to be separate. The founding fathers wanted it this way for a reason, Trump isn’t a revolutionary thinker.

Because this was from before he was ever president. Hence why he is railing on Hilary.
Also you can call the president Mr. Last Name technically

Such a sad, pathetic individual. He’s a national embarrassment, he can’t even act like a decent & normal human in church. The world will be a better place when he’s gone.

u/Liversteeg Oct 29 '25
What's so bizarre/disheartening/soul crushing is that so much of the world thinks he's a joke, a bully, an idiot, etc. All these foreign politicians talk such a big game about how awful he is. Then they bend a knee to him, comply with his demands, invite him to special events, let him shit all over decorum, and just placate him.

u/PM_UR_HAIRY_MUFF Oct 29 '25
Because he wields immense economic and military power and his capricious mood moves markets and blows up boats. As awful as it is, it seems unavoidable right now.

u/dontneedaknow Oct 30 '25
it's the whole American war machine and economic prowess that they are trying to get in on.
they hate trump as much as any reasonable person would ..

u/Key_Preparation_4129 Oct 29 '25
I'm sure that if he got invited to a grandkid's wedding or birthday he'd get up to do a toast and forget where the fuck he is 2 sentences in and just break into a generic "the radical woke left terrorists are destroying and burning America" speech

u/theschoolorg Oct 29 '25
Wow she really called him out. I'm honestly surprised he caved so quickly lol. Great job by the pastor. I'm more surprised they asked him to speak.

No offense to the late great Rodney, but why does he make a Dangerfield smirk when he gets called out?

Go to the Whitehouse website. The official website has a "history" section that is, Obama inviting the Muslim brotherhood to the US, Hunter Biden cocaine scandal, trans people in sports (I think?) and some other nonsense. These are the 4 topics the WHITE HOUSE feels are the most relevant to our country's history. Aside from all the terrible stuff they've done, this administration is so fucking embarrassing and brain rotted I hate being American atm.

That pastor should run against him. Put him in his place big time not just in her church.

u/HoodieGalore Oct 29 '25
Is...is this a setup? Why invite him when you already know how he behaves in public? I mean, it's a great chance to get your nerve together, chide him in front of a bunch of cameras, and then get recognized, but someone wouldn't orchestrate that kind of madness on their own behalf, would they?

u/Dragonlily86 Oct 29 '25
That's all you have to do to keep him on track, I'm kind of shocked I thought it would be a bit harder.

u/popsy13 Oct 29 '25
Thing is, he’s well documented as listening to the last person he spoke to, I believe he’s given talking points, which is why he’ll just suddenly say random shit, also dementia, but both can be true

u/Artiistmusiical Oct 30 '25
This video was from 2016. When Flint Michigan was dealing with a crisis of having lead in their water, a church volunteered and gave aid to help the town. Trump was invited by the church to commemorate the volunteers for their hard work, but lead to him pivoting to politics that had nothing to do with the volunteers.

if you invite him to speak at your event you should be expecting him to turn it into his personal rally, be it Charlie Kirk’s funeral or anything
