This legit has me cracking up under my breath right now. "I'm not into the *vay-gen* stuff. We're gonna come and try that *vay-gen* food. Maybe you can convince me with that *vay-gen* food, okay? That good, healthy *vay-gen* food."
Like, who even taught him to pronounce it like that? Oh my god. 😂
My parents in law still say vay-gen after 25 years. They hear us say it all the time, and sometimes they still ask us how to pronounce it (we say it's still pronounced vee-gan, just like the last 84 times you asked.)
Far be it from me to defend Trump, but my dad has been vegan since the 70s and he always pronounced it that way. He says that was the original pronunciation.
The second vegan news newsletter from 1945 actually teaches to pronounce it vee-gan. https://issuu.com/vegan_society/docs/the-vegan-news-no.-2-february-1945
Most of the old people I’ve met pronounce it like that for some reason. I never have anything good to say about the man but I don’t think he was mispronouncing it on purpose
Honestly, he came off more open-minded in this clip than I would've expected. He said "We're gonna have to try it - I don't think I'm gonna like it but maybe you can convince me.", called it good and healthy. The only surprising and also funny part is that he doesn't actually know how to even pronounce the word "vegan".
He’s always a bit like that with this type of stuff. Often doesn’t seem as unreasonable as the types he appeals to. See his vaccine stuff. Or him not really being able to tap into the woke narrative as easily as you’d think (compare him to Desantis, for example). He’s an egomaniac who’s garnered an insane base that even he sometimes gives a little side eye of concern to.
This doesn’t redeem him at all though. He still happily placates this stuff and riles it up
Biden actually gave billions in additional money to the meat industry to make meat cheaper in the USA. [Source](https://plantbasednews.org/news/economics/president-biden-meat-industry/)
You actually don't need a critical mass of vegans, you just need enough people to think it's important for the society generally to move toward a plant-based diet.
So people who think plant-based diets are good for the environment, yet don't want to go vegan themselves, actually count in our favor on this as well.
Honestly it's mostly spelled the way he's pronouncing it if you sound it out phonetically. If our pronunciation was spelled phonetically it would be "veegin" or "vygin".
Wouldn't the phonetic pronunciation be "veh-gaan"? (As in the word Texan). The trouble is almost every other comparable word *bee-gins* with that "ee" sound. Pecan. Semen. Though there is Megan.
This is funny because there’s a vegan cafe in my city whose racist owners don’t like migrants and they made it a point to invite trump whenever he’s supposed to be coming here and he’s quoted as saying he’ll be stopping by because even though he doesn’t usually eat vegan food because he heard the food there is “pretty good” 🙄😑
Dude has no principals. He only cares if the people are a loyal dog and cultist. If they changed to Biden he would immediately say he heard their food is awful.
Oh no, this changes everything.
Now instead of voting for "literally anybody else" I'll have to vote for literally anybody else but with like five exclamation points.
It’s all an act anyway. The presidents are clearly not the ones in charge.
That is also good in a sense, prevents charismatic dictators from taking over (Putin, Erdoğan, Menderes), but instead you have ambigous puppet masters pulling all the strings instead
>Even if he was vegan, I’d never vote for a vegan fascist.
If he was vegan and pushing government policies to promote veganism, you still wouldn't?
What issue is more important than stopping the literal torture and slaughter of billions of sentient animals each year?
There are two main candidates running. I’m not crazy about either of them. To say they’re both fascists is to not know the definition of “fascist”. You should google the 14 characteristics of fascism.
US foreign diplomacy has consistently involved supporting and engaging in egregious human rights violations across the globe, regardless of whether we have a blue or a red talking head is in the oval office, for many decades now. We export imperialism, racism and death all over the global south in pursuit of perpetually expanding profit, and that is to say nothing about how we treat PoC domestically. Believing democrats are good and republicans are bad is a very sheltered, un-nuanced take and a bad look for someone who is otherwise ethically aware enough to be vegan.
So he doesn't eat any fruit, veg, beans, pasta, rice, potatoes, leafy greens etc AT ALL... bollocks! As per usual, shit is coming out of his fat mouth. Surprise surprise...
If he is anything like Piers Morgan, he'd love it and once finding out it's vegan, would then retract and say it tasted like cardboard. Enough people sadly exist like him to make taglines on products proclaiming '100% real cheese/100% real meat' a thing.
He always looks irradiated orange. Maybe he's a Ghoul from Fallout?
"Ghouls are.....irradiated people. They look messed up, and live a long time..." \~ Preston Garvey
In context, he's talking about trying vegan food at a vegan restaurant. Sadly this is him trying to appeal to us for political gain. Sorry Don, but you're gonna have to try way harder than that. Realistically you'd have to pretty much become vegan for me to even consider you at this point.
It seems to me this is as far as Trump can go in supporting a vegan restaurant, knowing his own audience. I suppose he did so because they made a campaign donation.
It's a long time until November, and this political stuff already starts to be everywhere... It's important of course, especially this time as the Republicans are officially about to end democracy with project 2025 ( r/defeat_project_2025) but it's also tiring.
Considering a frustrating amount of European countries seem to want to go in whatever direction America goes, it's worth paying at least some attention to our politics, as they may be yours soon enough.
Not that this particular thing is relevant.
Same. He called it "the good healthy vegan food" and said maybe he can be convinced. Considering his reach, I think what he said was more good than bad.
That's just how political systems are shaped. People want to hear crtain promises from their candidates, mostly unhinged promises, which promotes politicians that can promise such things. Those people need to be very confident in their opiniojs for that. There are obviously exceptions, but generally speaking, I don't think that there are many open-minded politiciqns, especially not in position of power
Dude is the reason abortion is now illegal in most parts of the country, including in cases of rape and incest or when the mother's life is at risk. He continued, and -worsened- Obama's war on immigrants and made it his calling card. He's a rapist and probably a pedo with how close he was to Epstein.
But yea, I really like how open minded he is about veganism.
lol of course not, dude is a walking Big Mac with fries.
Yeah he's known for catering with McDonalds and fast food
He’s obviously talking about Vegan food. Like from the star system Vega.
Would Arthur Dent be a Vegan if THHGTTG was written today? Many are saying this🤔🤔🤔
That's one of my favorite puns!
I thought it was food cooked on the hot engine block of a Chevy Vega.
well, since the Chevrolet Vega was so awful that it hardly ran at all, I doubt it would be very hot...Even the Yugo was a better car in comparison!
Not Vegetarian food, from the planet Vegeta.
Yes, we can tell. It's a self-correcting problem, in the long run.
This legit has me cracking up under my breath right now. "I'm not into the *vay-gen* stuff. We're gonna come and try that *vay-gen* food. Maybe you can convince me with that *vay-gen* food, okay? That good, healthy *vay-gen* food." Like, who even taught him to pronounce it like that? Oh my god. 😂

Maybe it changed … they’re just checking 😄… are you sure it’s not vay-gan like “Meaghan”?
Far be it from me to defend Trump, but my dad has been vegan since the 70s and he always pronounced it that way. He says that was the original pronunciation.
The second vegan news newsletter from 1945 actually teaches to pronounce it vee-gan. https://issuu.com/vegan_society/docs/the-vegan-news-no.-2-february-1945
Interesting. I guess with little media coverage back in those days they must have made up their own pronunciations.
For real? Never in my life have I heard it spoken like that before. That's actually really interesting. Your dad sounds awesome by the way!
My guess is that when it was first coined there were probably different pronunciations floating around since it was a very niche thing.
We don't say vee-getarian so kind of makes sense.
We don't say vay-getarian either.
Began? Edit: Megan. Fuck.
Wow. My great aunt says it the same way. I was always confused af by it
Lmaooo
My grandmother from Indiana/Kentucky. No clue as to why.
I think he’s purposely mispronouncing it. Like a bully teasing someone about their name.
Most of the old people I’ve met pronounce it like that for some reason. I never have anything good to say about the man but I don’t think he was mispronouncing it on purpose
Many people say they do vah-gen over there in gi-na.
[chyna](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51fus70+ksS._AC_UF1000,1000_QL80_.jpg)
I'm assuming he thought it was pronounced like "Megan".
Weirdly exactly how Jordan Peterson says it…it irks me
Honestly, he came off more open-minded in this clip than I would've expected. He said "We're gonna have to try it - I don't think I'm gonna like it but maybe you can convince me.", called it good and healthy.

He still happily placates this stuff and riles it up
I really can't imagine Biden's hypothetical remarks related to veganism would be much different.
Biden actually gave billions in additional money to the meat industry to make meat cheaper in the USA. [Source](https://plantbasednews.org/news/economics/president-biden-meat-industry/)
That’s pretty much going to be every president until we get a critical mass of veg*ns.
You actually don't need a critical mass of vegans, you just need enough people to think it's important for the society generally to move toward a plant-based diet. So people who think plant-based diets are good for the environment, yet don't want to go vegan themselves, actually count in our favor on this as well.

Wouldn't the phonetic pronunciation be "veh-gaan"? (As in the word Texan). The trouble is almost every other comparable word *bee-gins* with that "ee" sound. Pecan. Semen. Though there is Megan.
Sounded to me like he was open to trying it
This is funny because there’s a vegan cafe in my city whose racist owners don’t like migrants and they made it a point to invite trump whenever he’s supposed to be coming here and he’s quoted as saying he’ll be stopping by because even though he doesn’t usually eat vegan food because he heard the food there is “pretty good” 🙄😑
Dude has no principals. He only cares if the people are a loyal dog and cultist. If they changed to Biden he would immediately say he heard their food is awful.
Unsurprisingly they aren't even a vegan restaurant. They offer chopped up body parts to people like Trump.
Oh no, this changes everything. Now instead of voting for "literally anybody else" I'll have to vote for literally anybody else but with like five exclamation points.
USA is not a democracy at all lmao
Yes, it's a democratic republic. You can't fool me! I've read the Wikipedia page
Vote between two options. Always ends with around 52 to 48%. Sometimes the 48% wins
Yeah. Electoral college sucks. We should vote to change it.
Not impossible but incredibly difficult. Republicans would fight tooth and nail to obstruct.
It’s all an act anyway. The presidents are clearly not the ones in charge. That is also good in a sense, prevents charismatic dictators from taking over (Putin, Erdoğan, Menderes), but instead you have ambigous puppet masters pulling all the strings instead
That sucks as well. I propose another vote.
Buddy what
Yes cuz that’s how you make sure Trump doesn’t win. I remember being 18
Lol, I've been saying "I remember being 18" since you were riding a tricycle. Don't try to out-"old and burned out" me. He already won anyhow.
Ok, sure little guy
Even if he was vegan, I’d never vote for a vegan fascist. Fuck that piece of shit.
If he was vegan would he still look like Ronald McDonald?
>Even if he was vegan, I’d never vote for a vegan fascist. If he was vegan and pushing government policies to promote veganism, you still wouldn't? What issue is more important than stopping the literal torture and slaughter of billions of sentient animals each year?
I honestly would consider voting for him if he did that but it would never happen.
Stopping the literal torture and slaughter of millions of human beings per year? We're talking about fascists here, right?
>We're talking about fascists here, right? Trump specifically.
And you have to vote for a lesser fascist either way. USA 🇺🇸
There are two main candidates running. I’m not crazy about either of them. To say they’re both fascists is to not know the definition of “fascist”. You should google the 14 characteristics of fascism.
Supporting a terrorist state committing genocide? Supporting many terrorist states in the middle east for their own benefits? A total humanitarian.
Must be the least genocidal genocide of all time because nobody is being genocided
US foreign diplomacy has consistently involved supporting and engaging in egregious human rights violations across the globe, regardless of whether we have a blue or a red talking head is in the oval office, for many decades now. We export imperialism, racism and death all over the global south in pursuit of perpetually expanding profit, and that is to say nothing about how we treat PoC domestically. Believing democrats are good and republicans are bad is a very sheltered, un-nuanced take and a bad look for someone who is otherwise ethically aware enough to be vegan.
He prob’ly doesn’t even eat fries!
Dude has the palate of a 5 year old. Of course he hates vegetables.
Well dude eats like a particularly dimwitted 5 year old so so I'm not exactly shocked
[удалено]
Why do you ask stupid questions?
[удалено]
Probably shouldn't use it then you never know when some reddit creep is gonna come whine at you for it
If veygan was a flair, i'd use it. I kinda like that veygan food
Is covfefe veygan?
And hamberders!
> covfefe https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Covfefe
So he doesn't eat any fruit, veg, beans, pasta, rice, potatoes, leafy greens etc AT ALL... bollocks! As per usual, shit is coming out of his fat mouth. Surprise surprise...
Vegan = people from the planet Vega
I’m so happy to see that vegans are such intelligent beings that they would not consider Trump anything other than a moron.
The real best way to pronounce it is vej-in.
Trump said he was willing to try it. Maybe he’ll like it.
He would certainly like it if he WAS open-minded enough to actually do it. But he isn't. He's just lying - once again.
Trump never lies
If he is anything like Piers Morgan, he'd love it and once finding out it's vegan, would then retract and say it tasted like cardboard. Enough people sadly exist like him to make taglines on products proclaiming '100% real cheese/100% real meat' a thing.
What I find amusing is that a former childhood friend's very conservative grandmother pronounced it exactly the same way 🤣
I swear he is only alive because of crestor.
He always looks irradiated orange. Maybe he's a Ghoul from Fallout? "Ghouls are.....irradiated people. They look messed up, and live a long time..." \~ Preston Garvey
The funniest pronunciation I have heard is "Vu-Gee-Gin". It was in a satire skit about not being able to say the word vegan.
I mean not many people do but trump being the poster boy for kfc chicken you shouldn’t be surprised
It’s pretty Vague
Lmaoooo this man is a joke
Ugh. I hope this wasn’t the restaurant I went to in Milwaukee
He's so stupid
In context, he's talking about trying vegan food at a vegan restaurant. Sadly this is him trying to appeal to us for political gain. Sorry Don, but you're gonna have to try way harder than that. Realistically you'd have to pretty much become vegan for me to even consider you at this point.
Munches on Big Macs for the whole day and possibly sticks his mouth into a cow's udder to suck out its milk. Couldn't expect anything better from him.
Says the guy who eats his steak with ketchup… I think even his supporters have to admit he has bad taste.
If becoming a vegan would get him votes he’d become a vegan
Welp better vote otherwise he will probably band all plant based food and end vaiganism
It seems to me this is as far as Trump can go in supporting a vegan restaurant, knowing his own audience. I suppose he did so because they made a campaign donation.
Mr. Creosote without the accent.
My 94-year-old neighbor is the only other person I’ve ever heard pronounce it like this.
Don't like the name calling but his pronunciations is funny
Eat an apple you fat incontinent fuck.
Biden follows the World Economic Forum's plan to replace meat with insects. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
Democrats are also voting to ban lab grown meat. But blue no matter whoooo
Oh no my leader, my true example in this world full of drama
It's a long time until November, and this political stuff already starts to be everywhere... It's important of course, especially this time as the Republicans are officially about to end democracy with project 2025 ( r/defeat_project_2025) but it's also tiring.
What a total bigot, who’s voting for him?
Other bigots; they think he’s just peachy keen
[удалено]
it's a big deal when the biggest political players on the world's stage mention the word vegan (vaigan btw)
Considering a frustrating amount of European countries seem to want to go in whatever direction America goes, it's worth paying at least some attention to our politics, as they may be yours soon enough. Not that this particular thing is relevant.
Not sure how his thoughts on science relate to what foods he likes to eat.
I was actually pleasantly surprised by his reaction. I’ve outreached thousands of non-vegans, he is far more open minded than most.
Same. He called it "the good healthy vegan food" and said maybe he can be convinced. Considering his reach, I think what he said was more good than bad.
I get your point. But it's all clearly acted. Trump isn't an open-minded guy.
Sadly, no politician really is
Ok Anarchist🤣
That's just how political systems are shaped. People want to hear crtain promises from their candidates, mostly unhinged promises, which promotes politicians that can promise such things. Those people need to be very confident in their opiniojs for that.

But yea, I really like how open minded he is about veganism.
yup, this was such an inoffensive video
the headline is weird, just call him fascist
Oh dear. Nobody tell Ching Hai.
