He does, and as you might expect, he’s completely incapable of being normal about it.

I think it means he’ll be found wedged between the couch cushions.

Generous of you to assume he would use protection. I see him as more a “the couch was asking for it” type.

The rumor was that he used an inside-out latex glove in the couch to get his rocks off; a condom is pretty close.

It had nothing to do with protection.

I recently read of an old Scotswoman who was castigating a queue-breaker. “I’d bet your dog wags its tail when you leave!”

I get the reference, but…

I’d say more like find him on a beach at Coney island.

Trump is now tweeting about that TV show he was on once.

That alone makes him unqualified to be President.

Why he was unqualified used to be able to be bullet points. Then a numbered list. Then chapters.

Now it’s a book with a bibliography.

It’s sad when the POTUS has to go back in time more than two decades ago to remind the populace about a time when he had a small measure of success in something.

Trump is imploring Iran not to execute eight AI generated women.

I checked Truth Social, it’s still there.

Maybe Donnie should send in an AI-generated team of commandos (or some shit like that) to rescue them and fly them in an AI-generated version of Air Force One to Mar-a-Lago where he can show them off in a beauty pageant. Get FAUXNews to cover it live. Sort of. Yeah, that’s the ticket.

He can send all those NFT versions of himself to do it.

At least two of those “women” appear to be clones of Billie Piper.

Clearly Trump is barking up the wrong tree - he needs to be asking the Doctor to help save them.

ETA: Good news, everyone! His Dotage has declared that the fictional women have been saved.

The confusing thing is that Iran seems to confirm that Trump was referring to real women, but denying the assertion that they were ever slated for execution. They also say Trump had nothing to do with their fate.

[_Reuters_: Trump says eight Iranian women won’t be executed, Iran disputes entire account](https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/trump-says-eight-iranian-women-wont-be-executed-iran-disputes-entire-account-2026-04-22/)

> “Last night, Donald Trump, citing a completely false news story, called on Iran to overturn ​the death sentences of eight women,” Mizan said.
> 
> “However, despite the ​false claim ⁠being revealed last night, Trump claimed in another post a few minutes ago that the sentences of eight protesting women who were supposed to be executed in Iran ⁠tonight have ​been overturned and thanked Iran!”
> 
> The agency said a ​number of the women had already been released and some are facing charges that could result in ​prison but not death.

The actual photos might have been AI, as the Iranian embassy in Saudi Arabia mocked Trump about it, but the women in question (who were Iranian protestors) do exist.
