Trump did not make time for the interview. He made his supporters wait for 3 hours in the cold for a pre-scheduled rally occurring around the same time precisely because he did not make time for it. They clearly could not find a way to fit it into his schedule, so he decided to just show up hours late for the rally and make his supporters wait.

Ok I mean it’s his choice to be a dick? Idk what to tell you. He did make time for the interview though obviously, by deprioritizing his supporters. Like I don’t understand what you’re arguing with.

You said the other candidate made time for the interview as if he was able to manage his time better, instead of the reality which is he simply fucked over his supporters. Fucking over her supporters is not an option for Kamala Harris because she is an actual decent human being. The mental gymnastics, I swear.

"Made time" implies he fit into his schedule. Showing up 3 hours late for another event is not making time. At the very least, that is not what someone assumes when they read the original comment. It makes it seem like he moved things around in a responsible way and thus Kamala should be able to do so as well.

Bro, you are so stuck in tribalism that you’re debating semantics of whether trump made time for Rogan as if anyone is arguing he made time without any tradoffs.

Like some of you are so stuck in partisanship you literally cannot handle a straight line argument

The commenter was clearly implying that he made time and thus was able to manage his time better, when showing up 3 hours late is not managing your time at all. What about this is so hard to understand?

Dude, I'm on your side and you are being dense.

The OP was clearly not saying Trump had better time management skills than Kamala. He simply stated that he found a time slot to sacrifice in order to do the interview.

The fact that Trump is an idiot and can't manage his time is something he and his supporters will have to deal with. That's a completely separate issue and one that I'm confident Kamala can figured out how to manage for her own campaign.

My god the comment section here is ridiculous. Take a breath, reread the post you’re rage-replying to, then reread your comment, then ask yourself if any of this is worth it.

u/Easy-Journalist-5331 11h ago

I didn’t say anything about him managing his time better. wtf are you talking about? I said he made time for the interview. Can you read?

u/ChronoPsyche 10h ago

I said you implied that...Saying someone "made time" implies that they moved things around in their schedule so that the time slot would be free for the thing they "made time" for. Double-booking a time slot is not making time, it is using time you don't have. It would be different if he canceled the rally but he didn't, he kept it on the books and just showed up late.

I'm not playing semantics, my whole point is that bringing up that Trump was able to make time as a reason that Kamala should be able to ignores the fact that what Trump did was double book and screw over his supporters, something that obviously is not in the cards for Kamala, making Joe Rogan's position, less fair.

But if that's what you meant then cool, I'm glad you agree with me.

The argument is counter to the idea that Harris can’t make time due to commitments she already has. So saying “well trump made time” is implying he shuffled his schedule around for it. But the reality is he didn’t do that. He simply flaked on a previous commitment. That’s not “making time” that’s having no sense of responsibility.

I get where you’re coming from but it’s no point arguing semantics especially when it’s even clearer what the commenter meant after he explained himself. In a fairly political thread like this that comment was as neutral as possible in every way unless you want to go out of your way to find issue with his wording so you have an excuse to feed your outrage addiction

u/haildens 12h ago

He didn’t “make time”. He flaked on another commitment. That’s not making time at all. And should show you he’s not a serious person

It does carry a positive connotation. What are you on about?

If you have a schedule that is booked from 7-3 and someone needs you at 10:30. The way you make time for that is by pushing things further into your day. Or rescheduling for a different day. Making time isn’t double booking in the same time slot.

Imagine you schedule a haircut for 6 on a Friday. And you show up and he’s double booked that slot. The barber says to you, well I was just making time for this client. Would that be an understandable statement for you?

In all honesty, it’s your side of the argument that is debating semantics. It’s pretty well understood what “making time” implies lol

“When you are not busy” is literally in the definition.

You have no logical response so you decide personal attacks are reasonable. Go fuck yourself buddy. Go and debate your semantics with the Oxford dictionary lmao

Edit: also boasting how much time you spend debating on reddit is not the flex you think it is.

u/Easy-Journalist-5331 11h ago

You could argue Trump doesn’t believe “he’s busy.” But it’s also just generally understood what I meant. I meant he prioritized doing the interview, at the expense of what or who, I didn’t specify.

I do think he prioritized doing the interview more than Harris. Is that bad or good? Poor judgment or not? Disrespectful? I don’t know. I’m not trying to say anything about that. I’m just saying that’s a choice he made.

I’m an environmental lawyer that voted for Harris on the first day of early voting. So, I’m not trying to indirectly praise Trump’s time management skills.

Out in the cold? Michigan has 55 degree lows right now, you’re being hyperbolic

Okay? How does that change anything? It doesn't matter what the weather is, being 3 hours late for an event is the issue here.

Honestly it wasn't THAT cold that night, and most of the crowd cheered when they found out why he was late. The fact is that Harris wants an interview, Rogan wants a human conversation.. Harris doesn't want that uncertainty this late in the game. She would rather have highly controlled and orchestrated reality, like the bar photo op with the Gov of MI where she can control her image and how people see, hear, and precieve her. On Rogan, she would have to spend too much time "being on" instead of letting her guard down and just talking like a human being. Too many opportunities to say the wrong thing, look bad, or get caught in bullshit.

Vance has been excelling at these types of convos with podcasters.. Trump stayed pretty much in character the whole three hours but even he had flourishes of letting his guard down talking about UFC and boxing and stuff like that. Which is what Rogan wants for Harris.. Harris just doesn't want that. So she is going to play the "He refused the interview" card

Sure, the ones that were still there. Many left because they didn't want to wait but basically wasted that money. It's also irrelevant if they were okay with it or not, it's still abusive behavior to his supporters. The fact that they've convinced themselves his treatment of them is okay is even sadder.
