Pooped 'em.
What an incredible picture of one of the most intelligent, strong and charismatic presidents of the last five hundred years.

What a gigantic pussy.
Is anyone else tired of all the “Trump Melts Down About…” and “Trump Rages Over…” articles?
I guarantee you he’s not melting down or raging in the slightest. He owns an entire country. He’s sleeping like a baby.
Heavily funded PR team provides fiery response on Trump-owned social media to keep nation distracted and divided as rights are stripped and Russian plans to cause civil war and demolish nation come to fruition
fucking meidastouch with their hyperbolic headlines
like, guys, maybe in sane times this would be a bombshell revelation ending his career. but these are not those times. this is yet another nothingburger that nobody will care about

I've been tired of it since 2016.
The worst part is whenever you see some subjective word use like this, and then you dig into the actual source event or material, 99% of the time, it's absolutely nothing. Oh, did T "melt down" by tweeting in all caps? Ah yes, so rare, an occurrence. And not just articles about him, but usually articles about his reaction as being something crazy or whatever suffer from this kind of hyperbole.
Also in the same category are articles with "will" or "can" or some other version of "maybe maybe maybe" or "likely to" in the headline. 99% of the time, no it won't. It's just a workaround for Betteridge's law of headlines (any headline with a question mark can be answered "no") that any article that suggests something might happens can be answered with "nah, probably not."
I am tired of those, and the root cause of that is that I'm tired of Trump.

The first man to bankrupt three casinos will soon be the president who bankrupted the military budget with all these useless deployments.
I hope as a side effect of this nonsense that cops everywhere feel emasculated, knowing that Trump holds them in such little regard that he feels the need to send in the national guard to do their jobs for them.
The obese buffoon is on the Epstein list because raped children.
Anyways here's a list of his many many hugest most tremendous bankruptcies:
Trump Taj Mahal (1991)
Date: July 1991
Details: ...By 1991, it couldn’t cover its $3 billion debt...
Trump Plaza Hotel (1992)
Date: November 1992
Details: ...amassed over $550 million in debt by 1992...
Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino (1992)
Date: March 1992
Details: ...had $250 million in debt by 1992 after an 80% cash flow drop...
Trump Castle Hotel & Casino (1992)
Date: March 1992
Details: ...struggled with $338 million in bond debt, worsened by competition from the Taj Mahal, his other casino...
Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts (2004)
Date: October 2004
Details: ...had $1.8 billion in debt.
Trump Entertainment Resorts (2009)
Date: February 2009
Details: ...filed for Chapter 11 with $1.74 billion in debt
I don't think cops will think that way. Instead, they're going to think, "finally, I can do all the fucked up shit that the PC liberal government never let me do. MAGA! Derr!"
I have a few cops in my extended family and I can guarantee you they love what is happening right now and can't wait for the national guard to be in their backyard.

I've always heard that Trump is charismatic but I really can't see it, he talks like a dementia patient and behaves like a toddler.
If you've heard that Trump was charismatic, you've been listening to morons.
Also, he's a child rapist.
He is charismatic, just like Hitler was. It's not inherently a good thing.
He is, but we're not the audience.
He clearly is charismatic - the results speak for themselves. I'm with you though, even way back in 2015 all I could see is an obvious conman.

Starting to look like the safest mode of assassination of that man would be to just yell "BOO!" when he's not expecting it, and then let his failing physiology do the rest of the work.
Someone remind him that it's not his money,
Trump was so angry about the public safety walk invitation that he suggested he may pull federal support for rebuilding the city’s Francis Scott Key Bridge, which collapsed last year.
"I'M THE KING! I CAN DO WHAT I WANT!"
"Any man who must say 'I am king' is no true king."
Plus, we don't have kings here. At some point enough people are going to remember that.
Could always do what that town did during the Cold War, and ask Russia to fund the reconstruction.
For the unaware, Vulcan West Virginia was a tiny coal mining town that had been trying to get a bridge built for a few years, but the state was dragging their feet on funding. The town was only accessible via a private gravel footpath (that was technically off limits to the public, since it was owned by the local railway company,) and a small footbridge that was in shambles. For years, the town had been begging the state to build a proper bridge. But the state was reluctant to build a bridge that wouldn’t see a lot of use.
In 1975, the suspension footbridge collapsed, meaning the only remaining way in or out of town was to trespass on the railway’s gravel road. So that town contacted the USSR, and asked them to fund the new bridge. The USSR never actually responded, but the town also contacted the news… And the Soviet reporters jumped at the chance to make “US town seeking humanitarian aid from USSR” headlines.
Suddenly, the state announced that they had money to build the bridge. The announcement came on the same day that a Russian reporter traveled to Vulcan to interview the residents. The official story from the state was that the bridge had been planned for months, and it simply took time to get the ball rolling… But everyone knew that the state was simply embarrassed into funding the bridge.
🎶 TACO-TACO Man! He's got to be a TACO man! 🎶
Has anyone done a parody of that song sung with those lyrics? It would be so hilarious if someone were to play that for him at one of his events.

When this fucker finally kicks it, I feel like it's literally going to be the special edition ending of Return of the Jedi in America.

How is the tone offensive to Trump? He just invited him for a safety patrol. No slander, no negative tone. Wtf.
Trump is so damn soft, man. How do these Alpha male types follow such a bitch? 🤣 🤣

I'd like to see some women Democrats challenge him to other fitness activities.
Considering he bragged that he could beat basically any woman at any sport, because men are just better.
Hit him in his ego and his fragile masculinity.
And hopefully God and a heart attack will do the rest
I'm a physically disabled woman and I'd totally beat him in a sport.

"Scream at him Mr. Trump. It's working! There are only 9 out of 10 people still asking about the Epstein files. Last week it was 10 out of 10. The tide is changing, sir! I honestly think you'll get away with all of the heinous shit that you do and did!" (One of Trumps handlers, probably).
vindictive man-child running US.
edit: traitor + child-rapist
That fat fuck doesn't even walk on the golf course.
Which is a little surprising. If he walked his assistants would have more time to place his ball where he meant to hit it instead of where he did.

Perhaps he is better at squats or pushups?
Look I like to be judged by my strengths rather than my weaknesses, too.

Every city that bruises his thin-skinned ego is now a “crime disaster.” Dude has absolutely no other tricks.

The shitheads that voted for this imbecile, moronic, man-child are now going WTF did we do? My medicaid is cut, the groceries are more expensive, my quality of life has not gone up. But my pres is a lot richer than he was 9 months ago.
Nah, most doubled down and continue to blame dems.
Pretty much. It's basically "he had to cut because [Biden/Obama/AOC spent all the money!!] or [Blue States took all the money!!]"
Who the fuck cares??? Fuck that fascist pig.
Release the Epstein Files.
1 it's not his money. He didn't pay anything.
2 he should be saying our counties legislative system will make the Dali's insurance pay for the damages and/or ask Congress to set laws that restrict any shipping vessel large enough to cause such damages carry insurance that can pay for the full extent of their damages or they aren't able to ship to our ports.
That would up shipping costs, sure. But isn't that what his administration wants, less international trade and forcing the country to become less dependent on foreign countries?
Oops oil, coal, gas costs went up, and long term it yet again would be cheaper for local renewable energy. As 40% of shipping is just bringing oil/coal/gas from one port to another. When the solar panels are in your state, county, city, neighborhood, or on your property, "shipping costs" drop drastically.
Someone crashed into a power line, entire blocks/neighborhoods could go down, except if those solar panels are on your roof, maybe just switch to your batteries and have localized power till the power comes back on, then switch it back to the grid. Tornado destroys 5 houses, bring what you need to your neighbors after and still have a refrigerator and air conditioning while you sort out what to do next in heat that's only getting worse.
The people who think that people aren't accelerating global warming still usually accept the idea that the planet is getting warmer.
Trump would shit his pants after a few dozen steps
Its because he would have a heart attack and literally die.
Dude's circulatory system is very obviously failing.
He believes everyone has a set amount of energy to burn and that working out would bring him closer to death. He's said so publicly.

I am going to risk getting alcohol poisoning in celebration when he finally dies.
