Donald Trump said Joan Rivers voted for him in 2016. She died in 2014🪦

[Floyd R. Turbo]

Donald Trump claimed that Joan Rivers voted for him in 2016, despite the comedian having died two years earlier.

The former US president and recently convicted felon was interviewed by Variety editor Ramin Setoodeh last November for a new book about his time hosting The Apprentice, Apprentice in Wonderland: How Donald Trump and Mark Burnett Took America Through the Looking Glass, which is set to be published on June 18.

In the book, Trump discusses Rivers, who won the second season of Celebrity Apprentice in 2009.

“I thought she might have been a Republican,” Trump said. “I know one thing: she voted for me, according to what she said.”

This claim is impossible as Trump first stood for election on November 8, 2016. Rivers died on September 4, 2014 at the age of 81.

1. No doubt Rivers would have voted for him, though.

[hibbing]

26. Yeah, she always punched down

[ArkansasDemocrat1]

33. I stopped liking her punch down "humor" about the time I turned into my teens

[Lovie777]

2. shithole's cult believes anything he says.......................

[yellowcanine]

3. So he is admitting to getting dead people votes?

Just say it out loud, Donnie.

[malaise]

25. You win the thread

😂

[PatSeg]

31. Bingo!

[Norbert]

38. Beat me to it. lol

[marble falls]

4. Ms Rivers would never let a small thing like death interfere with her civic minded duty of voting.

[Mike Nelson]

5. I think...

... she would probably have voted for him. I heard she was a closet Tea Party Republican. Unconfirmed, really... would like to come back to this thread and learn this was wrong.

[emulatorloo]

7. Citation? Thanks.

[Mike Nelson]

11. All I have...

... is people I heard talking about her, including one of my closer friends, who worked at NBC. I thought it was strange. I was surprised because I assumed she was very progressive.

[Mike Nelson]

15. I think...

... she was friends with the Reagans, too. My friend also knew the Reagans (Ronnie & Nancy).

[maryellen99]

22. She commented that she thought Michelle Obama was a man nt

[oldsoftie]

40. And the Q-idiiots say THATS why "they" had her killed. She exposed it!!

I've seen it SO many times for years

[NYC Liberal]

30. Interview with Andy Cohen. She said she adores him and thinks he'd make a great president

[emulatorloo]

45. Thanks! Appreciate it.

I guess it is good she died before he went full MAGA and showed his true putrid colors as President

[True Dough]

6. "Can we talk, Floyd? Can we talk?"

[bucolic_frolic]

8. Proof of the Afterlife!

Trump discovers religion!

[myohmy2]

9. truth...

...and trump have never walked hand in hand...

...you would think more republicans would be focusing heavily on the 'day after trump' and where the party will be...

...but no, they still want to represent the rantings of trump...

...it must be difficult to be a normal republican (if there is such a thing)...

...

[Diraven]

10. If Biden said this

There would be front page stories about how this means he's too senile to be president. With Trump it's just laughed off .

[oasis]

12. Lying swine. nt

[RAB910]

13. So the convicted criminal is admitting to voter fraud

[Srkdqltr]

14. I wasn't a fan of the apprentice. I watched a little of it.

I never understood it. I remember seeing Joan Rivers out on the street selling cupcakes. Why she wanted to be an apprentice at her age, I'll never understand.
Why it would be called Wonderland or Through the Looking Glass? Who knows.
But then I didn't like Trump even then. I could see the sadistic way he treated people.

[plimsoll]

20. You mean besides the Lewis Carol references?

Through the looking glass has the strongest commentary on contemporary Republican politics out there:

“When I use a word,” Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, “it means just what I choose it to mean – neither more nor less.”

[LisaM]

29. I didn't watch one second of it. The cruelty of the catchphrase "you're fired"

in the middle of a recession turned me off completely.

Plus, that's not what being an apprentice is all about. Being an apprentice means that you are carefully trained and mentored through a profession, not that you're competing with a bunch of other people then kicked to the curb. Trust Trump to be associated with something that completely twists the meaning of an honorable term.

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

32. "Apprentice" sounds better than "gofer" or "lackey",

which is what the regular or celebrity contestants were.

I never much cared for reality shows in the first place so I didn’t watch “The Apprentice”. But I agree, it wasn’t really in good taste to have a jerk like Trump “firing” people for cruel laughs while the U.S. was in a recession.

Good point there about the true meaning of an apprentice.

[Different Drummer]

36. With the GOP...

the cruelty is the point.

[sop]

39. Never watched a second of it either.

Saw a few promo ads for the show, couldn't imagine why anyone would want to watch that crap, but then I hated Trump long before he ran for president.

[emulatorloo]

46. She needed publicity and money.

[Johonny]

16. Opens up a whole new meaming to "can we talk"

[DFW]

17. Republicans only complain when dead Democrats vote. They brag when dead Republicans vote. n/t

[twodogsbarking]

18. So she is voting for him this year too?

[Doodley]

19. It's like Tourette's syndrome, but it's an involuntary untruthful brag or a greivance with every utterance.

[Emile]

21. and he is supposedly sane!

[Dave Bowman]

41. Not only sane, he's a stable genius!

[spanone]

23. He....lies.

trmp lies
all the time
about everything

[DemocraticPatriot]

24. Maybe she DID vote for him-- with a little help from a vote-frauding

Republican!

[COL Mustard]

27. There's your voter fraud!

What a fricking liar this guy is. Or demented. Or both.

[Different Drummer]

37. A demented liar.

Trump, in a nutshell.

[Martin Eden]

28. "Trump said"

Nuff said.

What follows will be a lie, batguano, or both.

[Passages]

34. Never stops marketing, never stops lying.

The epitome of a demagogue, to a T.

[keithbvadu2]

35. If she lived in The Villages,,she very well could have voted for Trump.

[Dave Bowman]

42. I've heard that Elvis voted for him too.

[republianmushroom]

43. Just a little lie among the more than 35,000 plus other lies the convicted felon has spoken.

[sop]

44. Rivers looked like the Walking Dead the last twenty years of her life from all the cosmetic surgery.

Maybe the undead can vote.

[airplaneman]

47. The vote was delivered via seance. N/T.@

[Hekate]

48. Trump's little boat has come unmoored and is drifting downstream. Dead people voted for him...

His WH doc’s name was Ronny Johnson. Black people love him because he’s a convicted felon.

He’s confabulating.
