Donald Trump: Classic or Dud?

Or boat parades, apparently.

US elections are usually won by the more charismatic candidate, except in the case of 2020, where Trump had so much negative charisma that he was beaten by a guy with no charisma.

offspring of ky refugee wants that false-ass motherfucker dead. hillbilly ulster scot grudge, my birthright.

Lmao at Trump smiling in court at Cohen's testimony about how pissed off he was when Trump gave him a much reduced bonus for 2016 even after Cohen had fronted the $130k for the payment to Stormy Daniels.

he only cares about loyalty. he wants someone to go do his bidding. if vance convinces him he's that guy then he's in.

I hope so, but in regards to the election, vance worries me because he is the most articulate of the vp candidates, they are all mostly morons

Yeah Vance is probably planning Trump’s assassination at the Inauguration

What will probably actually cause Trump to rule Vance out is the beard

“You look my stupid sons.”

He really hates his non-Barron sons. (And maybe Barron but no evidence as of yet.)

Heartbreaking, the worst person You know, etc

He’s not wrong there imo on hunting. Remarkable. I’m not sure he’s ever been right imo, so. Wow.

I hope it sticks in the guts of all his alpha douche supporters

trump doesn't like killing animals. he doesn't like fishing either. one of his better traits.

If it turns out he didn't keep White House pets because he doesn't think it's morally right to "own" an animal, that's gonna break a lot of brains

the first Western nation to ban vivisection was Germany under that 30's party that Don admires so much

rich guy guided trophy hunting is mega cringe but hunting in general is realer than anything trump has ever done. i'm certain the reason he doesn't like hunting has nothing to do with compassion for the animals and everything to do with contempt for the mess and low-class-ness of it and the fact that it has nothing to do with making money.

Also that it's a so-called manly activity that he — the manliest of manlies — does not participate in, therefore it must be unworthy of real men.

Also mud and whatnot

it's very hard to imagine him having strong sensitivities over the suffering of animals and it sounds like he berates his dumb adult-children sons over everything they do

Hands too small to handle a powerful firearm.

tbh if I had Don and Eric as kids I'd berate them too.

i hate that i know trump trivia but isn't he infamously averse to germs? i'm guessing he hates hunting because that shit gets messy

Theoretically. Which made his White House behavior during COVID ridiculous.

PEOPLE’S EXHIBIT 260 - TEXTS BETWEEN COHEN AND MAGGIE HABERMAN OF NYT (2/13/18)

HOFFINGER: Who is Maggie Haberman?
COHEN: She is a reporter for the New York Times.

FROM MC TO MH: Big boss just approved me responding to complaint and statement. Please start writing and I will…

Lol

xp Hunting involves a lot of pointless walking as well, no golf carts allowed

the net inflow of status does not outmeasure the outflow of effort and exposure to filth is how i break it down to an extent. you could just date a model or extort a trading partner or lie at golf

fealty display overrules actual governance

The US House was in session on Tuesday with vital business to complete but its speaker, Mike Johnson, was 200 miles north, attending another day in the criminal trial of Donald Trump, the former president and presumptive Republican presidential nominee charged over hush-money payments to an adult film star who claimed an affair.

“President Trump is innocent of these charges,” Johnson told reporters outside court in Manhattan, where Trump faces the first 34 of 88 criminal counts.

Our tax dollars at work

There are damning things about Haberman but that text isn’t necessarily one. On the surface it sounds like a normal response to a request for comment. The “please start writing” part is likely in reference to her having given him a deadline to respond.

ok let's all shit our pants to something old

No commitment. Wearing gold boxers to own the libs? C’mon you’ve got to get some MAGA Depends and walk around in your own filth for a day.

Honestly who applies this guy's spray tan? What a mess.

ew

a bunch of House GOP members at the trial today (it's the usual idiots), which kinda undermines the idea that the hush money wasn't for political reasons

This courtroom is doing a service by putting Trump under a harsh light. It's like Steve Albini producing a trial.

Spraytan Suitcase

Lol

man if i needed that shit to feel right and was him, i have like the world most deluxe carwax for a totally buff outcome everytime. I’m talking robotic german wintersteiger stonegrind shit

maybe he should settle with the NY district attorney, like any decent person would caught red-handed breaking laws his own erstwhile attorney and corporate accountant serve(d) time in prison for

sounds like the cross on Cohen is taking forever but not really going anywhere, wonder if they're just going in circles because the defense has nothing but doesn't want to reveal if Trump will actually testify or not

Please let him testify, please.

I'm like 95% sure he's gonna say he wants to testify but can't because of the gag order, which is such an obvious lie, but his base have no standards for this sort of thing so they'll just lap it up anyway

if he does testify it would be such an utter disaster, one would think even a man of Trump's legal instincts knows it's a bad idea, but on the other hand he's been falling asleep in court every day so maybe his brains have completely turned to mush

if he does testify it would be such an utter disaster, one would think even a man of Trump's legal instincts knows it's a bad idea

Funniest possible outcome: he demands to testify, his lawyers say "Are you fucking kidding us right now," he fires them all and says, "I'm acting as my own lawyer from now on, and will take my own testimony," clambering out of the witness box to ask a question then climbing back in to answer it, judge saying "I'll allow it" through tears of helpless laughter.

it would be deeply unfair to make him testify when he hasn't yet been informed what the crime is

i saw someone point out that she was not present for her own minor son's court date recently but of course she is in NYC for this shit show

The son showed up to court without a lawyer.

Don’t these people have legislating to do?

yeah, Biden probably needs impeaching or something

in this display of subservient fealty, nobody wants to be seen not making the trek up to NY - he's keeping track
