The look of shock on my face must be something to see, and I’m about to tell you why. Something that should never have come out of Trump’s mouth. It seems that shock was pretty much everyone’s reaction. This is so far out there we can’t even extrapolate where it came from. Stay with me. My compliments to Raw Story:
During a speech at the opening of the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library in North Dakota on Wednesday, Trump made a few odd and head-turning statements, including that he spoke with the long-deceased Roosevelt. One of Trump’s remarks that left people shocked started with him talking about Generals Arthur and Douglas MacArthur and wanting to be part of a father-son duo that has won the Medal of Honor.
Spoke with former President Roosevelt. Wanted a Medal of Honor. Wanted to be part of a father-son duo like the two MacArthurs. Okay, aside from saying he spoke to Roosevelt, it seems pretty straightforward thus far. What he could give himself a MoH *for*, well, we don’t know that part. Same for his sons. None of them has done anything to earn one. Of course, that hasn’t stopped Papa Trump before. We just don’t know his reason because the idea popped into his head.
“As I see my two beautiful sons sitting there, I think I’m going to give one to myself, one to them,” Trump said, with Don Jr. and Eric Trump in the audience. “And we’ll have a threesome.” Trump’s strange phrasing attracted online criticism and mockery, especially as Trump smiled during the remark and drew out the last line.
If you do not have an expression of shock right now, you are a better person than the rest of us. You can read that over and over. It doesn’t change. A threesome. Trump and his sons. About had to pick my head up off the floor. Yes, he really said that. Just when we think he couldn’t shock us anymore…
The X account for the press office of New York Governor Kathy Hochul asked, “A WHAT??” //// “Wait, what?” disability advocate James Tate similarly reacted. //// “Alright, brother…hang up those cleats,” wrote Capitol Hill reporter Julian Andreone. //// “Okay, we knew about Ivanka, but this is too much,” posted Canadian political commentator Jim Stewartson, referring to similar disturbing comments Trump has made about his daughter. //// “Even worse when you realize he was using a teleprompter,” noted political commentator Hemant Mehta.
A teleprompter, too? What universe have we stepped into? This is SO WRONG. It may be even creepier than what he has said about Ivanka. Talking with Roosevelt is a minor thing to say when compared to that gem. I have run out of words because I’m still stunned.
See you soon!
Friends, I know everybody begs you for money. I promise you that, of all the outlets bugging you for spare change, we are the smallest and the hardest-working. We’re a bunch of old, disabled people, except one writer in his mid-50s. But the rest of us are in our sixties and seventies, and this is a labor of love. All we’re asking for is the ability to continue our quest to tell the truth about Trump and help ensure democracy survives. If you can help, please do. Thank you. Ursula
The human billboard has again malfunctioned, for all to see … or is it now a glitching hologram … he’s now objectively snapped in his fossil mold. His slope is getting slipprier whilst he concurrently gets sloppier.
