Greg Gutfeld: How can Trump turn a conviction into an electoral windfall?
Fox News host Greg Gutfeld gives his take on the reaction to former President Trump's conviction in NY v. Trump on 'Gutfeld!'
Happy Monday everyone. So, today, jury selection began in Hunter Biden's gun trial. And as a welcome gift, those selected were given a free dime bag. To make sure it's a jury of his peers, they're looking for people who were given phony jobs in Ukraine, smoke, crack in a sensory deprivation tank, had sex with a dead family member's wife, while impregnating a stripper. So far, they found one. Possible witnesses include Beau Biden's widow, Hallie Biden, Hunter Biden's ex-wife Kathleen, and the gun store clerk in Delaware. Or, as Hunter calls it, his dream foursome.
Over the weekend, President Biden was seen cycling with Hunter in Delaware. It's part of his new workout program called "Not Dying."

I had to work hard to get one out of you. I wonder if they're going to like these. Mexico has officially elected their first ever female president. I know! Yeah, like you care. Oh, finally a woman. Oh, you go girl. Shut up. Her name is Claudia Sheinbaum. That's right, Claudia Sheinbaum. You know of the Tijuana Sheinbaums? You should try her Gefilte fish tacos. But her first order of business as president? Getting her daughter to marry a doctor. Ha ha! I don't care if you don't like it. God, if I did, I'd be miserable.
MEXICAN PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE SHEINBAUM, WHO PROMISES TO CUT CRIME, FACES HUGE HURDLES FROM POWERFUL CARTELS
Today, during his testimony on the U.S. COVID response and origins, Anthony Fauci said the claims of his influence on the CIA lab leak analysis are a conspiracy. And it makes it makes him sound like Jason Bourne. But look, man, no one is confusing Fauci with Jason Bourne. One is a person that kills people with government backing and the other's Matt Damon.

Over the weekend, pro-Hamas protesters clashed with a gay pride parade in Philadelphia. Despite their differences, they both united in their love of suspicious packages. And the official Facebook page for the US Navy SEALs was mocked for marking the start of Pride Month. But to commemorate the month, with every compound raid, a terrorist gets a free makeover. All right, so the saga of Donald J. Trump continues. Really? What did we talk about before him? Aside from me, of course. It's a shame we only have an hour. But have you noticed the reaction to the Trump conviction? It's more muted than my TV during Jesse's show. Of course, there are the usual nut cases where anything related to Trump is cause for incontinence.
JOY BEHAR: My reaction was I was at Costco buying, you know, ten boxes of Keurig coffee and my watch started to buzz, and I got so excited that I started leaking a little bit.
Video
So Joy Behar wets herself in Costco. And for the first time, it wasn't over the free samples of chocolate-covered lard nuggets. But aside from Joy and some has-been actors, where's all the noise? No one's dancing in the street weeping or peeing with joy. The truth is, even some on the left admit this prosecution wasn't justice. Some recognize they were going too far even before the verdict. It's like when you're in a fight with your spouse and you make a casual comment about her meat loaf and realize, oh s****, I'm in for it. And they're right. The verdict resulted in a bump in Trump's polling and a massive $200 million bump in donations. $200 million!!
TRUMP VERDICT FIRES UP THE DONOR CLASS LEADING TO MASSIVE MAY FUNDRAISING HAUL
$200 million? That's more than I make in a year. It even crashed Trump's donation site, something I haven't seen since I started that GoFundMe page to ban Brian Kilmeade from public parks. Buy a dog if you want to hang out there. Within 24 hours, Trump's new TikTok account gained over 2 million followers, crushing the Biden-Harris account that had a five-month head start. And to be fair, it is a low bar. Hell, even Hillary's left testicle has more followers than Biden-Harris. But vapid morons on TikTok are a voting bloc Biden can't afford to lose. What's next? Biden starts to lose ground among dementia patients? Fact is, Americans can tell the difference between Trump and Biden. One is facing a sentence, the other can't complete one.

So how does Trump do it? How does he turn a conviction into an electoral windfall? How does he turn his adversaries' energy into power? I call it the eternal cliffhanger theory. With Trump, when one act finishes, it sparks an equally thrilling next one. He's like the orange Harry Potter. And what creates the cliffhangers are those obsessed with taking him down. It's a perpetual motion machine.

This guy gets it.
What I got is the wordplay of the title that made me laugh out loud. But then I have a great appreciation for the English language and how it can be used.
Gets what?
Read the title again.
So nothing.
Appears you may have proved Gutfeld's point.
Gutfeld says what millions are thinking. No wonder he is the king of late night (kinda since he is on at 10)
Just amazing how partisanship distorts perception. Trump is indeed a convicted felon. And Biden does stumble with words (as does Trump by the way). But the ridiculous exaggeration of "cannot complete a sentence" pushed by Trump is directly contradicted every time Biden makes a speech.
Just for those who believe everything Trump says, here is a recent speech by Biden:
Note that unlike Trump's embarrassing ramblings about "Gettysburg, Wow", spreading damaging lies about the US government, and whining endlessly about the problems he brought on himself, Biden is dealing with serious issues in a presidential fashion.
Although Biden is too old for this office (as is Trump only 3½ years his junior) and has policies that are clearly bad (e.g. his historical border failure) there is no comparison between his demeanor, responsibility, integrity, and seriousness vs. the abysmal failure of Trump in all those factors.
Correct
Yet more illustration of bias in a dishonest presentation (quoting a partial sentence to change the meaning). You ignore all legitimate criticism of Trump, ignore the proof that Trump's absurd exaggeration mantra about Biden is false, and just focus on criticizing Biden.
You have yet again proven clear bias against Biden and bias in favor of Trump.
Thanks for your opinion.
I am not going to wait to see your criticism of Trump since I know it will never appear. Seems like you have made up your mind in spite of your claims to the contrary.
Seems that you are wrong again but thanks for your opinion. I also notice you completely ignored my comments to your totally partisan bias toward Joe singing praises that just aren't true.
As noted, you claim to be undecided but your comments are predominantly critical of Biden (even supporting the ridiculous partisan exaggerations) and are predominantly ignoring, deflecting from, or defending criticism of Trump.
The anti-Biden, pro-Trump partisan bias is obvious.
I got that from 4.2.1. No need to repeat your claim.
[deleted][✘]
Your anti Trump pro Biden bias shows through clearly- so not sure why you are bitching about anyone else's bias?
Both candidates suck. All that is left to argue about is which one sucks more; and then vote for whomever is least sucky. Everyone will have a different opinion about that.
Chances are everyone on this website minds are already made up about who they will vote for.
One of them is going to be president no matter how badly they suck.
I am absolutely anti-Trump for the reasons I have given many times and reasons that should be obvious to anyone with a functioning mind.
I am not pro-Biden, Biden is simply the best method available to use my vote against Trump.
Real simple.
Pretty much the point I have made. So a rational, responsible action is to do what one can to ensure the worse of the two —Trump— does not get elected.
Again, real simple. It gets old explaining the obvious.
Hey TiG
Awww it is disingenuous to say 'every time' Biden makes a speech. I agree that it is an exaggeration, but I would not say it is 'ridiculous' ....
I do not think the president should be starting a press conference regarding the 'sort of' closing of the southern border by talking about his predecessor's conviction .. it only serves to further the belief that the trial was about President Biden prosecuting a political rival. Such comments are very Trump'esque in appearance and in my opinion, should be reserved for campaign related events ... the whole Robert De Niro thing was already bad enough.
Peace....
What nonsense. President Biden had absolutely nothing to do with the former 'president's' conviction.
There is no way of knowing with absolution whether or not the current administration influenced the decision to prosecute the former president, but odds are the administration did not.
It is not really that far of a stretch for some to believe that the elected DA of Manhattan, a member of the party of (D) Alvin Bragg prosecuted the former president for political gain ... the trial certainly has heightened Bragg's political recognition. It still remains to be seen if President Biden will benefit politically from the former president's felony convictions.
Have a nice night....
It is clearly a ridiculous exaggeration for Trump, et. al. to claim that Biden cannot even complete a sentence. And that is what I am referring to.
President Biden has always had a bit of a stammer, similar to Jimmy Stewart's, but as anyone who has seen him speaking lately knows, his communication exceeds expectations. Let the MAGA make their loud, outrageous and obviously false proclamations...
The US economy is leading the world post-Covid, inflation is being tamed, unemployment is practically non-existent, big businesses are making record profits and the stock market is bouncing around record highs. Economic growth is beating all predictions and our leadership is successfully navigating multiple international predicaments. With our current successful, professional and fully functioning government in place it is unfathomable that American voters would throw that away for Trump's MAGA Madness, again!
Hard to believe anyone's expectations could have been so low
No, President Biden, he had absolutely nothing to do with it, the former 'president's' crimes had everything to do with it.
Nope, it had nothing to do with Mr. Bragg and 'political gain'. He was prosecuting a criminal.
As when people believe that NY trial was legitimate.
Trump is indeed a convicted felon.
So?
And Biden does stumble with words
On many occasions.
But the ridiculous exaggeration of "cannot complete a sentence" pushed by Trump is directly contradicted every time Biden makes a speech.
False. Trump did not say that Biden can NEVER complete a sentence. You are alleging that. Once again Trump was right, and you are wrong.
Although Biden is too old for this office (as is Trump only 3½ years his junior) and has policies that are clearly bad
Yup, policies are all that matters.
Btw:
(e.g. his historical border failure)
An open border is not a failure if that is one wanted. Biden campaigned on it.
You quoted me and then immediately lied about what I wrote.
Get a grip. Dishonesty is bad. Trump sets a horrible example.
No he didn't. Your statement from #4:
Now Vic's statement from 4.4:
Looks like you are trying (and failing) to call Vic out as a liar. Double check your work.
You should heed your own advice.
Trump told the truth. You didn't.
“Trump told the truth.”
If so, it would be a first. Please. Just what, when, where, how and why do some pretend that the world they occupy is not a place to go.
We have people who made a career about Trump's open-ended statements. There are plenty of ways to twist them.
Joe Biden said the inflation rate was 9% when he came to office. That is what a bold face lie looks like.
Show where I lied.
You pretend that Trump does not routinely claim Biden cannot complete a sentence.
I understand that trying to defend Trump must be frustrating but denying reality is not how to deal with that.
When has the former 'president' EVER told the truth?
“…Trump's open-ended statements.”
Reminiscent of the ‘alternate truth’ excusal.
Specious.
How can you possibly not be aware that one of Trump's mantras is that Biden cannot put together complete sentences?
Trump is not only a scoundrel, he is nuts.
Annnnnd you're deflecting.
Your claim was false. Your logic was absurd.
Breaking this down:
In English, when one claims an individual "can't put two sentences together' there are several ways to interpret it. Here are three very common interpretations:
In all three cases Trump is wrong (and, by definition, you are then also wrong). Biden clearly is able to string more than two sentences together, so a literal interpretation is demonstrably false.
Biden (as does Trump) sometimes loses his train of thought. This is the exception, not the rule. So the figurative interpretation is wrong. You and Trump are again wrong.
Even when offering asshole sarcasm, Trump is wrong. Biden rambles more than he should but it is still a tiny minority of his collective sentences. And here, you and Trump are both (intentionally, I presume) ignoring what Trump himself does. Trump is rambling more frequently nowadays.
Does the phrase "Gettysburg, ... , Wow!" mean anything to you ?
Trump supporters are making increasingly bizarre comments. Grasping at every little thing and, as here, engaging in blatant dishonesty.
[✘] In baseball, people will say a wild pitcher can't hid the broadside of a barn. It's an exaggeration to show how he can't control his pitch. No one of any intelligence thinks the speaker means he really can't hit a barn from 60 feet away with a baseball, nor would showing video of a pitcher hitting a barn from 60 feet away rebut the criticism.[✘]
Still deflecting.
'open ended statements'
Please stop, you may find a Biden speech that he's not screwing up people's names or slurring his words or forgetting what he's talking about, lying and Interjecting himself into the situation, but they are few and far between.
Get real. You are flipping reality and pretending that Biden’s verbal mistakes are the norm rather than the exception.
The norm is making a few mistakes in a speech. You are pretending that a complete sentence by Biden is the exception.
That is a ridiculous distortion of reality. Get a grip.
The problem the Biden fluffers have is the rest of us have watched Biden try to speak without reading from a teleprompter. The idea that he has the abilityto communicate is within the normal range of a politician is asinine.
he’s a very old man with severe issues, which is why the independent counsel who interviewed him testified he lacked competence and his administration has put forth batshit crazy privilege arguments to prevent audio and video of his testimony from being released before the election.
It is one thing to note Biden's verbal fumbles.
You, et. al. want to pretend that Biden screws up most of his sentences and occasionally utters a correct and complete English sentence.
Such exaggerations of reality are ridiculous.
Do you think Biden can communicate within the normal range for a politician?
Biden's communication abilities are currently subpar for a politician. This is one of his key weaknesses. Has been for a while.
If you et. al. were to comment without ridiculous exaggeration, you might find agreement.
What is ridiculous is to claim that Biden cannot complete a sentence and similar hyperbolic nonsense.
GOP partisans nowadays seem to offer nothing but extreme hyperbole. That kind of nonsense will not influence anyone who is not already drinking the Kool-Aid.
They are, not a joke!
Is it your belief that most of Biden's sentences are delivered with verbal mistakes?
Or is it the case that Biden sometimes makes verbal mistakes?
In reality, Biden sometimes make verbal mistakes but the overwhelming majority of his sentences in his speeches are perfectly coherent English.
Whereas whenever the former 'president' orates - lolol - we need a magat/moron translator or just reverse everything the scumbag says.
In his speeches being the main phrase. When he reads them off a teleprompter which means nothing more than he can read. Why do you think he almost never has a press conference and his minions don't want him talking to anyone. Not to mention have words like "pause" in his speeches
In reality there is no way to know how often Biden messes up with normal conversations but he seems to struggle the majority of them to any non partisan observer.
In reality, Biden sometimes make verbal mistakes but the overwhelming majority of his sentences in his speeches are perfectly coherent English.
And Trump is no better; an objective eye could see that.
Again, all that means is he can read without messing it up. Yet some try to make it seem like reading a speech without botching it is an accomplishment.
Trump makes mistakes when he is talking off the cuff. He doesn't make many mistakes when he is reading a script like Joe. Joe, and his minions try to make sure Joe does not talk off the cuff. Why do you think he almost never has a press conference and his minions don't want him talking to anyone? Not to mention have words like "pause" in his speeches? Why do you think sometimes Joe slips and says he will get in trouble for talking off the cuff? Why won't Joe take a test to see if he has dementia if he is not afraid of the results? Any objective eye can see Joe and his minions are trying to hide something.
No slack given to Biden yet excuses made for Trump on the very same problem.
Anyone that is objective can see the difference between reading a canned speech and having a conversation yet Biden supporters pretend they re the same thing and ignore things like : Why do you think he almost never has a press conference and his minions don't want him talking to anyone? Not to mention have words like "pause" in his speeches? Why do you think sometimes Joe slips and says he will get in trouble for talking off the cuff? Why won't Joe take a test to see if he has dementia if he is not afraid of the results?
Trying to compare Trumps mental decline with Bidens is disingenuous at best and gaslighting at worst.
Two elderly men are running for PotUS. Both sometimes lose their train of thought and slur words. Yet you focus on Biden and wave your hand regarding Trump.
See 5.5.9, 5.5.11 and 5.5.13.
TiG, the evidence is all around you, but you have to look at it.
The difference is that you exaggerate the frequency and importance of Biden's mistakes while I note what is actually taking place.
The other difference is that I also note Trump's mistakes yet you totally ignore them.
Partisans don't do that. They will continue to make excuses. They won't address why things like why they want the Hur investigation interview audio kept hidden or why they have to edit transcripts of speeches.
Watched Biden's speech when the Chiefs visited the White House the other day and he was very articulate and well spoken. Just as with the SOTU address and the Correspondents dinner he was flawless and was very presidential.
Watched Trump the other day, several times, and he was obviously confused, slurring, fumbling, forgetting words, very inarticulate and not presidential.
Leave it to a Fox host to get everything wrong, yet again.
That's the most realistic headline I've seen in a quite a while.
Greg gutfield is popular for reason only . Right wingers have low standards.

It is called being funny, something that is not understood by some on the left
Sure they understand funny, but only if the come up with it first....
We understand funny - this isn't
And it doesn't hurt their feelings
Gutfeld is hilarious!
Obviously you don't fully understand
Agreed .. but he is a wee bit of an acquired taste.
Hope life is treating you well Ed... : )
That he is. Have not seen you in a while. You have been missed, Welcome back!
I'm just taking things one day at a time. How's things been with you up in the far North?
What's to understand?
I am right there with you taking life one day at a time .. 2024 had one hell of a start for me....
I pop in from time to time and catch up on the soap opera : )
as a political comedian greg gutfeld isnt a pimple on jimmy kimmel's ass
Agree. He is way funnier than anything Kimmel has ever done.
Well......it appears Guttfeld is doing better than any other late night host
Here Are the Cable News Ratings for March 2024 (adweek.com)
I am voting for the one that is not a convicted felon.
Oh, you are voting for the other guy.
Unfortunately this is not a clown in a comedic satire sitcom, this is the guy that people want to be PotUS.
≈5:15 ... Gettysburg, Wow! Never fight uphill me-boys. But it was too late.
Not only is Trump a scoundrel and con-man who demonstrated he will throw the nation under the bus to satisfy his ego, he is also a comical doofus.
Of course, ignore the idiotic ramblings of Trump and attack a comedian. Deflect away since there is no way to defend that doofus.
And if you do not find Kimmel funny, you need to work on your sense of humor.
He was never a good comedian to begin with.
This is funny. You even personally attack comedians who make fun of Trump.
"Whiny bitch" does not even have a hint of truth to it. Kimmel's style is calm, cavalier wit. Ironically, it is Trump who could now accurately be called a whiny bitch.
"Kimmel's style is calm, cavalier wit."
Now that is funny
If I want to watch conservative bashing I'll tune into The View and watch Joy and her crew make fools of themselves. Now that's funny!
Kimmel, like Colbert, tries for claughter
Perfect.
and his supporters/enablers/defendersoftheindefensible
And here I though the C stood for Canned.
I refuse to vote for either one!
Unfortunately one will still be president.
That is what is great about our two party Establishment system.
Exactly. So voters have a few choice.
One can abstain on principle. That is a personal choice and while it suggests that both candidates are equally bad (a position with which I wholeheartedly disagree given Trump is far worse for this nation than Biden) I recognize that people do not perceive reality the same way.
For those who do perceive a clear difference in harm to this nation between the two, it makes sense to vote against the worst one. It is obvious to me that Trump is by far (an order of magnitude) worse for this nation than Biden. Thus it makes sense to vote against Trump.
History will show Trump to be the worst scoundrel ever to hold the presidency. His actions on Jan 6th are so far beyond anything done by any other PotUS as to distinguish him as the worst abuser of the powers of the presidency in US history. He is the only PotUS who has attempted to steal a US election through fraud, coercion, lying, and incitement. He continues to exploit the emotions and gullibility of his MAGA base and is currently making threats of retribution and violence. Trump is a pathological liar, a malignant narcissist, a scoundrel, con-man, and basically a self-serving asshole who would (in a second term) surround himself with sycophants (useful idiots) and will abuse the powers of the presidency to meet his personal desires.
In the past, even an affair (see Gary Hart) would derail a presidential candidate; certainly sexual assault or any breaking of the law would be disaster. That is the bar that we have held our presidential candidates to. But not with Trump. With Trump, the electorate inexplicably does not care about morals, ethics, etc. but will demonstrably vote for a convicted felon with dozens of remaining (more serious) counts pending.
So, yeah, it is obvious to me which of the two is worse for this nation.
The media explain Biden’s “stellar mental abilities” with all the fervor of Sasquatch hunters. “I’ve seen it, it’s real, but it is impossible to capture on film.”
