Transcript
REPORTER: “Why does Mike Rogers have to answer for Trump and you don’t have to answer for Hasan Piker?” 🤡 @AbdulElSayed: “Is that a serious question? Donald Trump is the president of the United States.” That's a serious question? I didn't want to ask another dumb one, but I wrote it down for you. Well, Donald Trump is the president of the United States, which means he has significant power, including holding the nuclear football. And when he makes war, which he has the power to do, it's a very different thing than a streamer in California. I'm not sure if that's clear to you, but like, when it's the president of the United States, who is literally the most powerful person in the whole world, to equate the most powerful person in the world with a streamer in California seems to me to be just a little, I'm not going to use the word, but silly. It's fine.
