He’s shooting from the hip, going with his gut, oozing verbal diarrhea, spewing out inflammatory statements with no basis in fact regarding today’s explosion in Lebanon.

Now it’s an “attack” again without any foundation. Just another mouth hemorrhage from Herr DumpsterFire. ---

Can you see where people feel justified in calling out fake news? FFS don’t help them by giving them ammunition. He didn’t say that. ---

No matter what they say, according to Trump, the generals **seem to feel** that it’s what Trump decided to blather it was even if the generals come out and categorically and unequivocally state that they said no such thing. Because what Trump things seem to be is all that matters to him and, God help us all, his fucking lunatic base. Mind you, his base and anyone else who supports him are, by definition, fucking lunatics. > [@](#): > > US Department of Defence officials said there was no immediate indication that the explosions were the result of an attack, according to CNN.

> [@Snowboarder\_Bo](#): > > Can you see where people feel justified in calling out fake news? FFS don’t help them by giving them ammunition. He didn’t say that. Uhh, Little Nemo was making a joke. Trump did say that he could [stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose voters.](https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/donald-trump-fifth-avenue-comment/) He didn’t say he could get away with it legally, but @Little_Nemo didn’t claim he did. Trump was just saying his supporters were loyal beyond the boundaries of common sense. Technically, Trump was not directly killed someone in the center of New York (that we know about), but that wasn’t the part of Little Nemo’s joke that you objected to. ---
