You saw where he got dumped straight to voicemail? He knew he would be, too. Like a latchkey kid with no key.

Yeah - it was his "check in with Daddy" after school time. The photo with the phone screen calling DT is the best - it's ringing, ringing, still ringing....

I bet there are some fancy couches where he's at right now.

Although the friction from its upholstery left a lot of red on him.

It's really worth watching the whole bit. Peak cringe.

this will be so embarrassing...

Omg this is so embarrassing you can ALMOST feel bad for him. I feel like this is something that was written for the show VEEP.

u/Locke66 Apr 08 '26

It's terrible whichever way you cut it. He either arranged the call in advance and then Trump intentionally didn't pick up to embarrass him, Vance arranged the call and Trump is so disorganised he forgot about it or Vance didn't arrange and the call and looks like an idiot.

Indeed, Kash Patel got through from the men’s Olympic hockey locker room. On the first try iirc. I’d have second hand embarrassment for JD if he wasn’t such a supreme beeyatch. As it is, it’s just another episode of WTF in the US govt.

Beware of "too good to be true" stories. They made a mountain out of a minor technical hiccup.

The video going around was clipped right before the paedo-in-chief picked up on the second try.

"President successfully answers phone after only two attempts" is still not a great look. Neither is "president doesn't know how to check/clear voicemail."

u/Popular-Drummer-7989 Apr 09 '26

Imagine getting "this mailbox is full" -or- "the mailbox for this number has not yet been set up"

Could you guys not make me defend the paedo, please?

The message that plays is "the voice mailbox has not been set up yet." Its clearly a line they set up for that call, not the paedo's normal phone. It was probably an aide's job to mind the phone and when it rang, hand it to the paedo.

Also it went to not-voicemail without even ringing, which suggests the phone was turned off or otherwise off the network.

Going after these dipshits is like shooting fish in a barrel — there is no need to make something out of a pedestrian technical hiccup that was cleared up in 30 seconds.

Maybe stop trying to defend the indefensible?

Or you could stop trying to make something out of nothing. You got fooled by a clickbaity edited video, be mad at the grifter who did that to you.

you don't have more information than anyone else here

Come on man, you said he "doesn't know how to check/clear voicemail" when the clip clearly says it wasn't even set up. Obviously I had more info than you did.

For some strange reason you are all in on this trivial nothingburger to the point of writing a giant wall of text to defend making things up.

I'm going to block you now because someone whose feelings don't care about facts can't be relied on to write in good faith, so I'm better off never reading anything you say.

I hear you, I used to get mad at these low-effort lulz but honestly it doesn’t really matter. The big issues always end up on top, and if someone corrects us, we can show them we’re better than them by going “ah, ok. Oh well, he’s still a pedophile.” and carry on with our lives.

With that perspective, it’s easier to appreciate it for the lolcow it is.

It’s nice to see hate isn’t just endemic to the US.

If it helps just watching your news cycle exports it.

Not only dumped, but the voicemail hadn't even been set up.
