Trump Claims ‘So Much Blood They Thought I’d Been Shot Four Or Five Times!’

The 4th of July is Friday and Trump’s ‘FUBB’ might not be on his desk for signature before the holiday. The bill is causing all kinds of problems for the GOP, and even Trumpty himself. His polling is in the toilet and he needs a shiny bauble to dangle out there. Lo and behold we have a new book, and tales of MASSIVE blood in the ER at the hospital in Butler.  So much blood he claims that folks thought he’d been shot four or five times!

According to this article from The Independent that’s one of the takeaways from the book 2024: How Trump Retook the White House and the Democrats Lost America. The linked article says the WaPo has details about goings on at the hospital Trump was taken to:

“Trump was sitting up in bed, still wearing his suit. A bandage covered his ear. There was blood everywhere,” according to the book.

“It was bleeding like a b****,” Trump later told the book’s authors in an interview. “They thought I had four or five bullets in me because there was so much blood,” the president said, referring to his would-be White House chief of staff Susie Wiles, future director of communications Steven Cheung and future deputy chief of staff Dan Scavino.

Naturally, according the the heroic Trumpty he calmed everyone down by ‘joking’ about the whole situation. Sure Donny Ear Diaper. I looked and looked and couldn’t find that picture of you boarding the plane out of town that night (did Musk and Zuckerberg minions scrub the internet of it?) and it was an itty-bitty band-aid sized bandage on your ear. Not the freaking EAR DIAPER (some called it a Maxi-Pad) you made such a BFD about wearing for weeks after!  For all your bullshit about ‘taking a bullet for Democracy’ you got nicked in the ear by a bit of shrapnel.

Now, I’ll be the first to say (from experience I might add) that head wounds bleed a lot.  I’m trying to think of the last time I got nicked on the ear (back when I had hair and got haircuts so we’re talking decades) and like cuts shaving sometimes it IS a bear to get the bleeding to stop.  Trumpty had blood smears on his face because even minor nicks to the head tend to bleed. Again, a lot.

Here’s something else I know. Trump was both pissed and elated at what had happened. His PR instincts never served him better than when he managed to wiggle out of the Secret Service agent’s grasp to raise his fist.  The linked article might be worth your time to read because it delves into how some powerful people, Jeff Bezos for example assessed things and moved into Trump’s orbit.

In the meantime we have to deal with a Trumpty-Dumpty who is flailing about both in foreign and domestic affairs. I wrote quite recently even Trump knows how much trouble what he want’s to be his signature achievement is in. He publicly warned GOPers not to ‘go too far’ with their cuts!  This kind of thing, a story about him appearing to be in such dire danger of death from being hit multiple times and turning the ER into a ‘river of blood’, of trauma surgeons all over Pennsylvania frantically fetching helicopters to ‘save the next President’ is EXACTLY what Trumpty wants. And frankly needs.

We’re just getting started with the bullshit spreading.  He will be telling stories about big strong janitors with tear in their eyes saying they’d never seen so much blood to clean up. Or better still, once the bleeding was under control and “The Mighty Hero Trump” was moved from the ‘abattoir’ big strong firemen, called in because only their fire hoses could wash the blood away had tear it their eyes.  You get my point.

It was roughly a year ago when all this happened and Trump needs to focus attention on something like some warped kid trying to kill him.  AND made a BFD about how ‘awful’ his wound was!

We thank all of you who have donated. You’re keeping this blog on the internet, believe me. One of the battles we fight is the inconstancy of ad revenue because politics in this country is so polarized and a lot of advertisers just seek to avoid the political. They’d rather advertise on food blogs and be safe, doughnuts before democracy. All we’re trying to do is stay in business because we believe the work is important. Thank you if you can assist. If we didn’t need it, we wouldn’t be asking. Ursula
