Yes. There are lots of pictures and clips showing Trump having welded the smallest possible socially acceptable fake smile on his face while simultaneously chewing on his tongue to suppress the desire to leap to his feet shrieking racist obscenities.
He didn’t even have fun at his own Comedy Central Roast. He forbid jokes that implied he has less money than he claimed (however, Jeff Ross observing “The Donald and I have a lot in common: We both live in New York, we both play golf, we both fantasize about his daughter” was okay with Trump. As was Lisa Lampinelli’s reference to Trump’s third wife as “Insert Name Here,” a dig on his many marriages).
He put on a goofy grin for the occasion, but you could tell me was seething on the inside.
Yup. He has always been notoriously thin-skinned (even before bruises started showing up on his hands ). The only “sense of humor” he has is in mocking others, but has never been able to take a joke at his expense.
This is the same guy who still remembered, and hadn’t forgiven, the people at Spy Magazine for referring to him as a “short-fingered vulgarian,” almost four decades ago.
The annual bipartisan National Governors Association dinner at the White House has been a tradition since Johnson administration. This year, only Republican governors were invited by the White House.
White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt defended the move, saying in a statement: “These are White House events and the president can invite whomever he wants.”
That’s because (a) he doesn’t undertand the word vulgarian, and (b) the reason he’s so sensitive about the size of his digits is likely the old saw about digit:member is true in his case.
I reckon there were other reasons. At first, I thought it was a way to get world leaders to say, regardless of method and Risk-like attack (with the dice stacked), that it was a “good thing.” trump has just about reached the ability to send world leaders to the cornfield.
He’d never get the Twilight Zone reference, till it became clear to him, “So that kid controls the world? Can someone do an AI of this, with me as the kid, making the squinty eyes like my mug shot? And make Gavin Newsom’s head pop off like a jack-in-the-box?”
Regarding Venezuela and Maduro, every world leader I heard from said, essentially, “It was a good thing”, as in the Twilight Zone Episode “It’s a Good Life” which scared the shit out of me when I was young, though I knew Billy Mumy from “Lost in Space” and that the Twilight Zone was not the news.
Back then.
That is clever to put it on a mug. Did he repeat it for his “official President Pic”. (or is that it?) I cannot tell, yet it’s a good thing.
That’s from the Lizard of Oz? Dang, he’s going to be canned soon. It couldn’t happen to a better guy. It wouldn’t happen to a better guy! The only question here is who’s going to send him packing, “Killer” Kennedy or “Diaper” Don?
I didn’t see the video, but I’m guessing the ‘screaming eagle’ was actually a red-tailed hawk. Bald eagles don’t scream. They tweet. Red-tailed hawks scream.
Or he has to blather because he thinks it will make people think he has nothing to do with the abduction (and IMO, probably murder) of the mother of the journalist who first extensively interviewed Virginia Giuffre in 2019.
Which is true. Of course, we’re also allowed to reach our own conclusions about him, and why these were the only people he wanted to invite. So yes, go ahead and defend him, it just reinforces our belief that he cares not a whit for helping anyone but his bootlickers.
On Jan. 18, the 18-month-old, who was suffering from life-threateningly low oxygen levels, was rushed to a San Antonio children’s hospital, where she was diagnosed with and treated for pneumonia, COVID-19, viral bronchitis, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and severe respiratory distress.
). The only “sense of humor” he has is in mocking others, but has never been able to take a joke at his expense.
