So, Trump acknowledged in his own weird way, both Biden and Harris called him to be "nice" following the second assassination attempt. This phrasing is all super weird. It's only a story because Trump acknowledged it I public at all.
"And what happened, then? Well, in Whoville they say – that the Racist's small heart grew three sizes that day"
Still microscopic though.
He’s fucked in the head.
That’s more politeness and courtesy than the orange fuckface deserves.
They don't get anything out of calling him, so he doesn't understand why they'd do it. Someone else told him it's a nice thing to do and that acknowledging it is helpful to him.
Yep. He’s a sociopath.
"transactional"
Because to Trump, politics is like pro wrestling. Showing kindness to your opponent is like dropping kayfabe. There’s no good way to stay in character in that moment.
I love the pro wrestling analogy for the way Trump approaches everything. I have long thought that myself. I sometimes wonder if his involvement in the WWE and even his own comedic roast were just exercises for him to learn to never break character.
I regularly watch the clip of him getting hit with the Stone Cold Stunner. It probably didn't hurt him but it still brings me joy.
What a weird thing to say.
I initially read that as 'Donald Trump quits' and my heart leapt.
I do worry Mr Trump is actually a terrible man even when not putting on an act, but this call makes me think prez Biden and VP Harris are nice people or have a great persona going each. They both pass the shopping cart test - especjally because the Pz and VP didn't release press about being human but just did it and left it - and I worry Mr Trump would not pass the same test.
I hope we can see America's Mom and Dad in the WH and feel some hope for a moment.
