Apparently he didn’t even call the victim’s wife after the incidence. On the other hand, Biden called her but she refused to take the call because her husband - the one who was killed - was a “devout republican and won’t have wanted his wife talking to Biden”.

It’s beyond a cult at this point

With all respect to the lady, I highly doubt her husband was particularly keen on taking a bullet.

"But it was a bullet meant for our god-king!"

Yeah, and it missed. Hubby didn't even have time to yell "Get down, Mr. President!".

I know it's callous. However, we MUST be callous and unmoving right now. WE do not have the same room for pity and remorse as our politicians, whose jobs are to play that part. Unfortunately for the Right, we have a job to do.

I'll wash my hands 4.5 years from now when we all have some breathing room.

"Get down, Mr. President!"

I think you mean "Donald Duck!"

[-] jonne@infosec.pub 9 points 4 months ago

His Twitter feed was full of toxic bile as well.

[-] AshMan85@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

Yeah it is called a confederation

[-] YeetPics@mander.xyz 4 points 4 months ago

Lmao, wow these people are fucked mentally.

I blame lead plumbing and alcohol.

[-] Myxomatosis@lemmy.world 92 points 4 months ago

I’m not wishing anyone dead but I’m also not shedding any tears for this guy. I read some of his social media posts and he was an absolute psycho.

[-] Pistcow@lemm.ee 22 points 4 months ago

he knows what he signed up for

[-] jballs@sh.itjust.works 7 points 4 months ago

Got a link? Sounds reminiscent of /r/HermanCainAward

He also made one about wanting to drive over bicyclists in his truck.

Still too big

Jesus H Christ

[-] jballs@sh.itjust.works 4 points 4 months ago

Don't think they'll be meeting.

[-] AThing4String@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 months ago

That's too bad, I'd love to see some "money lenders in the temple" action personally

[-] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 41 points 4 months ago

Photos of Ivana Trump's pauper's grave.

[-] Rocketpoweredgorilla@lemmy.ca 18 points 4 months ago

Wow.. I've seen better graves for pets than that.

[-] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 29 points 4 months ago

It gets worse the more you think about it.

It's a golf course; there are literally people whose only job is making the place look nice.

Second, she was Ivanka, Eric, and Don Jr's mom. None of those three could do anything?

[-] AshMan85@lemmy.world 27 points 4 months ago

He gets a tax break for having her buried on his property. Not even joking.

[-] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 9 points 4 months ago

I thought that went without saying.

Really, the tax thing was covered a lot at the time of the burial. I'm just surprised that no one around him pushed him to do more.

I mean, they eventually pushed him to have his picture taken at Arlington after he blew off the WW1 Centennial.

[-] newthrowaway20@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

I'm betting the dead grass is from Trump pissing on the grave. I wouldn't put it past him.

[-] AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.world 34 points 4 months ago

If he speaks, I hope his family is okay with an angry tirade and the election, crowd size, or whatever.

[-] just_another_person@lemmy.world 17 points 4 months ago

"Best assassination protection ever, didn't somebody say that? The best ever! We have the best people. My people are the best ever, I do the best ever, so don't even question it, right?!"

[-] AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.world 10 points 4 months ago

"No one has ever seen an ear like mine!"

[-] digredior@lemmynsfw.com 12 points 4 months ago

Except for Mike Tyson.

[-] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 months ago

Itd be funny if he gets assassinated at the funeral, like some dude just fucken gets him and they just find a note on him that says "this is how ya do it ya fucken amateurs!"

[-] thefartographer@lemm.ee 29 points 4 months ago

"I like audience members who weren't killed."

- Trump, probably

[-] TokenBoomer@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

good one ☝️

[-] jordanlund@lemmy.world 16 points 4 months ago

The most human thing Trump could have done, kind of surprising.

He didn't go to Ashli Babbit's funeral.

[-] Ioughttamow@kbin.run 17 points 4 months ago

Let’s not get ahead of ourselves. He’s still liable to make the funeral about him

[-] OneStepAhead@lemmynsfw.com 5 points 4 months ago

I’ll bet you all the money in my account that he gives a stump speech that only vaguely mentions the guy.

[-] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 11 points 4 months ago

I remember them trying to paint her as an Antifa stooge.

[-] OccamsRazer@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Ashli Babbit situation is totally different though.

[-] transientpunk@sh.itjust.works 13 points 4 months ago

That definitely feels like some shady Mafia shit...

[-] Rapidcreek@lemmy.world 12 points 4 months ago

Narrator: "But he won't"

[-] Botzo@lemmy.world 10 points 4 months ago

I just hope he cleared the decision with the family. And by "he", I mean the campaign. Otherwise, I can't imagine having a funeral for a loved one get turned into a clown show.

[-] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 12 points 4 months ago

If Trump's there it's going to be a clown show regardless.

[-] OldChicoAle@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

If he has an opportunity to speak at the funeral, it's going to be all about Trump. Hilarious but sad.

[-] Etterra@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago

I'd offer to bet you that he'll make it all about himself, but I doubt anyone on Lemmy is stupid enough to disagree.

[-] nokturne213@sopuli.xyz 6 points 4 months ago

He is probably going to suggest the dead guy vote anyway.
