If Trump ever does hold a Flavor Aid ceremony, his marks will be elbowing each other out of the way to be the first to take a slurp from their MAGA hat.

If this is easier than admitting that they fucked up royally, they _will_ take this path.

I’ll help keep it orderly; wouldn’t want any of these folks to get hurt before they have a chance to kill themselves for a good cause.

Well, he might be a bit more motivated than usual to pay off the loans, if they were made by Russian oligarchs. Those guys will defenestrate you for non-payment.

For some reason, he [tweeted](https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1167493371973255170) out satellite imagery or Iran. There is speculation that the blacked out part on the top left is likely the classification status of the image, and that much of the detail of the image itself gives Iran information about our [capabilities](https://twitter.com/ChrisMegerian/status/1167521502167621633) and knowledge of the site.

Not to mention, that the flash in the center of the image sure gives me the impression that someone is just taking cell phone pics of classified material and tweeting it out.

I’ve long assumed that this was Jared’s main daily occupation. How else could he be expected to make a buck?

Oh, for christ’s sake.

The original tweet:

> [@Trump gets it wrong](#):
>
> In addition to Florida - South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, and Alabama, will most likely be hit (much) harder than anticipated. Looking like one of the largest hurricanes ever. Already category 5. BE CAREFUL! GOD BLESS EVERYONE!

And everyone points out that Alabama is not in danger. Does Trump just let it go?

> [@Trump cannot be wrong](#):
>
> Such a phony hurricane report by lightweight reporter @jonkarl of @ABCWorldNews. I suggested yesterday at FEMA that, along with Florida, Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina, even Alabama could possibly come into play, which WAS true. They made a big deal about this…when in fact, under certain original scenarios, it was in fact correct that Alabama could have received some “hurt.” Always good to be prepared! But the Fake News is only interested in demeaning and belittling. Didn’t play my whole sentence or statement. Bad people!

**Didn’t play my whole sentence or statement.** It’s right there in your tweet. He is such a fucking asshole. (That just can’t be said enough.)

If more than ten seconds had passed since the tweet, then he already forgot what he said. Can’t be expected to remember everything! :dubious:

Maybe he got Alabama and Bahamas confused.

By Jove, I think you’re right! Many of the same letters. Who knew spelling mixed with geography could be so hard?

He also said it to reporters at the White House, and at a press conference. Maybe he completely forgot about the tweet. Um…And the fact that all of them were false.

I think he just started naming southern states. Sort of surprised he didn’t include South Dakota.

Butt-Hurt Trump just can’t let it go:

I don’t understand, if Alabama was going to be hit or grazed, and it wasn’t, does that mean Trump was wrong about something? But he’s saying he’s right about being wrong? Or was he wrong about being right?

Man, it must be tough to keep all these lies straight.
