It's still wild to me that someone so high profile can just lie about whatever they want no problem.

The guy doesn't even know how to order fucking donuts.

"Oh ya, glazed, some sprinkle stuff, cinnamon bun things, whatever you think makes sense".

The man is a literal lizard person in disguise.

Naw fuck that guy, he's a weirdo.

Any normal person with a modicum of charisma could've navigated that.

"What's your favorite donut?".

"Oh ya? I'll take 5 of them then, lemme try one right now".

"You have the yeast donuts only or the cake ones too, which are better here? I love donuts man, those yeast ones are my favorite".

I remember Obama doing these types of engagements during his 1st presidential run, going into these rural diners full of old white folks who clearly felt uncomfortable with him. He was able to use his personality to disarm them, and come off as relatable, by the end they were giving him hugs and having organic conversation.

Night and day difference.

Donald Trump Thinks Elon Musk Is ‘Weird’
Presidential hopeful Donald Trump and Tesla CEO Elon Mush have a very strange relationship, but they need each other right now

Elon Musk has pretty much professed his undying love to former president Donald Trump, acting as a mouthpiece for the presidential candidate on social media and even reportedly spending big money on his campaign. Despite all this, Trump still doesn’t really like Elon Musk. In fact, he sort of hates him and thinks he’s weird. Ouch.

...

According to a person close to the twice-impeached convicted felon, Trump “thinks he’s weird. Sorry to use a word used a lot by Democrats now.” This source has spoken to the former president about Musk as recently as July. Another source, who has been in the room multiple times over the years when Trump has spoken privately about Musk, relays to Rolling Stone that Trump has at times, as recently as in the past few months, said that Musk is “boring,” annoying, and prone to mood swings.
Which asshole is Hehe gonna stick his head up on this one?

Drill baby drill, that slogan was retarded when Sarah Palin used it, it's hilarious Trump is still using that slogan over a decade later.

I am pretty sure this is real and not AI

The campaign must be completely dying so there's less for him to skim off. Imagine launching NFTs in 2024

If he was smart he'd spend none of this money on his campaign and just pocket it to pay for his lawyers.

Oh, but he has.

https://www.brennancenter.org/our-wo...ay-legal-bills

The former president has relied almost entirely on donations to his campaign and affiliated PACs to pay his lawyers, to the tune of more than $100 million as of early 2024.

Following his 2020 election loss, Trump received more than $250 million in donations from supporters to fuel an “election defense fund.” He divided that money between two campaign entities: his 2020 presidential campaign committee, which he subsequently converted into a freestanding PAC called Make America Great Again (MAGA) PAC, and a second entity called Save America PAC, which is a so-called “leadership PAC” (a type of PAC that a federal candidate can establish for the ostensible purpose of supporting other candidates).

Beginning in early 2021, Trump began spending funds from these two PACs on his myriad legal proceedings — including personal matters. The fact that MAGA PAC was no longer a campaign committee enabled him to take advantage of a loophole in campaign finance law prohibiting candidates from using campaign committee funds for personal expenses, but not PAC funds. Through early 2024, MAGA PAC spent $30 million on Trump’s legal expenses. Roughly another $70 million has come from Save America, which is subject to a similar loophole.

Any veteran who is still with Trump isn't going to change their mind at this point short of Trump shooting a veteran in their face. How many more insults can he make before he "finally" crosses the line?

https://www.rawstory.com/trump-medal...or-2669100315/

Quote:
Former President Donald Trump once again suggested the Medal of Honor is somehow inferior to the Presidential Medal of Freedom during a campaign event in Potterville, Michigan, on Thursday — right in the middle of honoring James McCloughan, a war hero who received the Medal of Honor in the first year of Trump's presidency.

During the speech, Trump once again incorrectly referred to the award as the "Congressional Medal of Honor," a common but wrong term often used by laypeople.

"I always say, I'd rather get the presidential medal, because the guys that came in — other than you and a few others — oftentimes they've suffered greatly, right? They've suffered greatly, or they're not around. But it's our highest honor," said Trump.

This is essentially a repeat of Trump's controversial statements earlier this month, where he said the Medal of Freedom is "much better" than the Medal of Honor. Given another chance to clarify in a follow-up interview, he insisted he'd rather receive the Medal of Freedom because Medal of Honor recipients tend to have permanent battle scars — if they survive.

"People who get the Congressional Medal of Honor, which I've given to many, are often horribly wounded or dead. They're often dead," he said.

Trump's stated distaste for veterans who were killed or wounded, which line up with past allegations that he didn't want wounded warriors in his parades and that he called Marines who fell in World War I "losers" and "suckers," triggered a wave of outrage, including from his former chief of staff John Kelly, himself a retired Marine general.
How much more distasteful can he get about veterans at this point? The veterans that are still sticking with him are just cult members and idiots who have chosen a con man.

The sad thing is, I think if you put on about 10 beer goggles for his comments, you can kinda see where he's coming from... like in some weird way he honestly thinks this is a compliment and he's actually saying hey you got hurt but the man just has ZERO empathy and ZERO understanding of emotions or human sacrifice because he's never had to do any of those things ever. He simply cannot relate to it because it's a foreign concept to him.

I mean, he's basically mentally handicapped to deal with these situations.

TLDR psychopaths like this should never be in charge of anything.

I hate Trump, but I think people are overreacting about his comments regarding the medal. I see what he's saying, but it's being conveyed in a retarded way.

It's like saying which would you rather have a piss pie, or a poo sandwich. Piss pie is better because it's not poop.

He's simply saying he'd rather a Medal of Freedom as it's an award that's granted for something that is generally not combat related, where as the Medal of Honor is given to guys who are likely coming back fucked up, through conducting a courageous act.

He's basically calling himself a pussy, I don't think he's being disrespectful.
