I saw a few clips of his Fox interview today. He did not look good and his hair looked even worse. Didn’t think that would be possible. ---

When Trump and Hillary debated, at some point Trump said to her (iirc) “No, 'cuz you’d be in jail!” I don’t recall the context, but Trump is just lying again because he can’t stop being full of shit. ---

He just threw his entire herd of supporters under the bus and they still worship him. ---

Trump waves to his [many supporters](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/yjx-NkZkBq4). (At least, if the video was shot from the front, no one would be the wiser). ---

I mean, at this point, we can just always assume he’s lying. It may _also_ be the result of mental deterioration, but we can very safely assume little other than “I like hamberders” or “my daughter is hot” expresses his actual thoughts on any matter. ---

Two Trumpists were apparently living in this thing, and also using it as a store to sell Trump merchandise at his rallies. From the pictures in the local paper, it looks like it’s been totalled. Hopefully it wasn’t insured. I doubt Trump cultists would bother with that sort of thing.
