He eats so much of their food that they consider him an honorary franchisee, maybe?

I’m calling bullshit! He claimed he served fries at a McDonalds, but the letter clearly says that he was “working” at a DG Torresdale’s!

He just talked about Harvey Weistein getting “schlonged” but I think in that case, that is a bad thing Well, I think that is what DJT was saying but who knows with Dementia Donny. I’m just amazed that a former president and potential future president is using the term “schlonged”. Fuck, if he is re-elected, we are definitely all schlonged, and not in any sort of good way.

The TV with the Sunday Night Sports just cut to a shot of Trump in a skybox. I wonder if he’s puzzled at all when he sees a genuine large crowd, like at an NFL game.

“They’re here to see me, right?”  
“Yes, sir. Nobody had ever heard of this sport until you decided to come to the game.” (wipes away tear)

Yeah, I’m watching the game and saw the “Trump in the skybox” shot. The announcer explained that he’d been invited by the person who owns the box. Wonder how long he will stick around?

“Did the TV cameras show me, and did the announcers mention that I’m here?”

“Yes, sir.”

“Great, let’s go.”

I can hear cheering, music & parts of some announcements from that game from my house (1.5 miles from the stadium). I hate the very thought that DJT is that close to me.

What instructions would a lady have to give her hair stylist if she wanted to surprise her special guy with a “Harris Faulkner”? Personally, I don’t know from women’s fashions, but is that as flattering a look as she can hope for?
