Is Trump getting the same questions?

Does it matter? His answer would be a ten minute stream of consciousness rant about immigrants, Dr. Hannibal Lecter, and some “very smart people” anyway.

while kamala is getting hit on this issue, it’s important for people to keep in mind (or learn if they didn’t know) that Trump has historically been a fanatic supporter of israel and netanyahu. way beyond any other president, D or R.

the moving of the embassy was pretty much a greenlight for them to openly do genocide.

That's generally true, and if I'm going to be stuck with an American government excusing Israels war crimes, it might as well be one that protects abortion, but there is a big stupid "but" to go with that. Trump hates bibi. Not because of any considered foreign policy thing, but because Trump is mad bibi called biden to congratulate him on winning the election. Trump never has forgiven bibi for this, and has been criticizing bibi on the trail because of it. Our politics are fucked, I guess is what I'm trying to say.

The biggest military aid happened during obama.

This is exactly what i said trump is honest and vocal about his support to israel. Biden and harris talk about ceasefire but always blame hamas for not happening despite proof that israel is the one refusing and refuse to stop arming israel fully to create pressure. Trump moved the embassy to jerusalem but biden didn't reverse it and harris won't do it either

It ABSOLUTELY matters that Trump is put on the same playing field and under the same scrutiny as Harris!!!

That's all. It doesn't matter what their respective positions are. It doesn't matter that Trump will give a rambling, incoherent answer and support Israel even if they declare babies as food.

It matters that Trump is held to the same scrutiny as Harris, simple as that.

No point in asking him. He will call them sexy and claim Martians are taking yellow jobs.

Do you want a 2k words essay without actually answering the question?

Would you seriously want to hear the drivel answers?

Is Trump the sitting vice president of a country facilitating a genocide?

Somewhat bad faith, VP has almost no real power or influence on these masters. With both as potential POTUS', they should both be held to the same standard by the press.

Let’s hold ourselves to the same standards As Trump!

Do you people not know what a race to the bottom is? Because you’re in one.

their point was, let’s hold trump to the same standards as everyone else.

We do.

It’s his supporters that don’t and they aren’t here on Lemmy so who do you think they’re talking to there?

Do we? Because I haven't heard Trump being asked this question.

Trump couldn't answer a question about his favorite flavor of milkshake.

Good luck getting anything out of him about this.

But then isn't not asking him because you know you won't get a straight answer holding him to a different standard? Because that's the whole issue here.

I'm mostly just joining the pile-on that Trump is an idiot.

It would be great if he were held to any kind of standards, but the time for that was 8-10 years ago. I'm not sure how we get there now.

lemmy is not the point. clearly the top comment was asking if trump was getting asked these same questions in general, not comments on lemmy.
