Trump: When I worked at the French fry counter.
Umm, when has McDonald’s ever had a “French fry counter”???
To be clear, this is not Trump being confused. Even with Zelensky standing next to him, Trump continues to assure all who will listen that he is closely aligned with Vladimir Putin.
I am simply baffled by how lackadaisical the press has been about this issue. Trump is regularly pledging to let Putin have his way in Europe (and elsewhere). It’s outrageous enough that I’m shocked zombie Ronald Reagan hasn’t arisen to slap him upside the head.
Apologies. I thought I was in a Pit thread.
“Mr. Putin, how much do you want for this wall?”

Trump: I was named Michigan Man of the Year
BTW, it doesn’t show up in the preview, but the Community Note on that tweet (about how Trump was never named Michigan Man of the Year because there is no such thing as Michigan Man of the Year) is GLORIOUS.
That was a thing of beauty.
Brilliant!! In a few simple words, you evoke Reagan’s famous challenge to Gorbachev regarding Berlin; Trump’s obsession with building a US-Mexico wall; and Trump’s passion for Putin, at the expense of the security of free, allied, pro-Western peoples worldwide. Also, Trump’s limitation that every action must be transactional. Plus, his mistaken notion that he’s a savvy deal-maker. Wow!
What is that on the wall behind what’s-his-name? Giant rolls of toilet paper?
Are they big enough?

I couldn’t see it. Do I have to have a twitter account? I cancelled mine.
Apparently it’s gone now, but it was about a page and a half of sites that the award he was claiming to have won doesn’t exist.
“MK-47s. I know that gun very well”
“Minnianapolis”
“Look what’s happened in New York. And they went after the mayor of New York because he was saying we can’t do this. They just indicted him for long before he was mayor.”
“But outside, we have thousands and thousands of people. 40 to 50,000 people at least out there… It looked like when Lindbergh landed in New York., Do you remember that? Thousands of people… they’re probably leaving and walking home”
“But yesterday, this is one I never heard, that I ripped the baby out of the cribs. No, no, that might have been Obama and other people, but it wasn’t us.”
“And when I mentioned that they go, oh, he’s fallen into a trap because he’s. Did you ever see that? Whenever I criticize, they say all the stupid people, the anchors back there, they say he fell into a trap. Her trap. She can’t set a mental trap.”
“She never worked at McDonald’s. She worked at McDonald’s. And I didn’t work there. She didn’t work there. But I’m going to go to a McDonald’s.”
“Most people don’t have any idea what the hell a phone app is”
There must be some interesting lighting wherever he’s speaking; the screen caps in all of those links make his hair look lavender.
Well, more importantly- trump has never worked as McDs. He said he might like to try it. So, he is again mixing up fantasy with reality.
That was in 1927, and trump hadnt been born yet.
My brain hurts. His comments are as someone on lsd.

Lindbergh was mobbed when he landed in Paris. I know he got a ticker-tape parade in NYC when he returned to the US. Did any kind of mob meet him when he landed in NY, though?
Huge- one of the biggest turnouts and most ticker tape in the history of NY. Lindberg was BIG for many years. I suggest reading One Summer: America, 1927
by Bill Bryson.
I knew about the ticker-tape parade, but I didn’t know for sure if crowds were waiting for him when he actually landed.
And I read that book even! I just didn’t remember that detail.
Yep, in fact they had problems getting him ashore.
