There was also the time during his first term when he was to host the college football national championship team for dinner. Because of a budget related government shutdown, the regular White House chefs were unavailable. So instead his staffers placed large quantities of various fast food items in the reception room. There was a photo of him standing proudly showing the piles of Big Mac sandwiches and such. At the time he owned a hotel and restaurant in Washington DC. He could have catered t he e dinner from there, at his own expense, of course. But instead he served cold congealed fast food sandwiches.
Yes, embarrassing. And there are so many other more embarrassing things about this guy as well.
I’m sure that Trump would really prefer the even bigger Airbus A380. Qatar Airways has 8, so could easily spare one for him. Of course it’s not American made, but the White House and Fox can just rename it the Boeing A380, so no problem!
I’m sure that last bit was sarcasm, but I think it’s been plainly evident that Trump has the same lowbrow taste in food as he does in decor. He’s been photographed all too often gorging himself on a bucket of fried chicken, ordering a whole table full of fast-food hamburgers for a visiting sports team when the White House has one of the finest kitchens anywhere, and his penchant for overdone steak to the point of resembling shoe leather which he then re-hydrates with ketchup is famous. The man is a complete buffoon in every respect.
As for the “gift” from Qatar, large aircraft are peculiar things in that they can be more of a liability than an asset. Maintenance and operating costs can be enormous, and there are significant costs even if you don’t fly them. There’s a whole boneyard of basically abandoned jet airliners out in the American desert someplace. Yes, in private life Trump flies an old used 757, but only because he’s an idiot. Elon Musk, who possesses wealth that Trump can only dream about, is perfectly fine in an ordinary Gulfstream long-range business jet.
At least two of them. In addition to the one in Arizona, which @Marvin_the_Martian mentioned, there’s the Southern California Logistics Airport, in the Mojave Desert; that’s apparently where the two undelivered 747-8Is which Boeing has been converting into VC-25Bs for use as Air Force One were stored for years until they were purchased by the government.
Except, of course, that the whole world knows that they’re trying to unload on Dim Donald this old white elephant. (Yeah, “at least it’s white.”)
It makes Donald look like what he is: an easily-manipulated sponge for fake flattery.
Possibly this all goes over his head. But then again he HAS been working hard (for him) to change the subject, what with his third-grade-level attacks on Taylor Swift and Bruce Springsteen…
There’s also a small one out in Goodyear.
Without Smapti here updating us on all of Donny’s moronic stuff, I missed this. I just went to his Truth account and was flabbergasted to find what you speak of. So presidential!
Sounds like a threat to me. And wait until Trump finds out that Americans are talking shit about him in other countries all the time.
Even better; some Americans don’t wait to be overseas before they talk shit about him.
I for one am always ready to talk shit about him at the drop of an executive order.
This dried out “prune” of a rocker (his skin is all atrophied!)
Pretty rich coming from the dried apricot of a president…
Is he being funny, or does he really think he has room to mock someone else’s appearance? That’s weapons grade cluelessness.
I am SO GLAD that the United States is at peace with the world, that there are no conflicts anywhere, the economy is booming, and everyone is happy and healthy. Otherwise, Trump would look like a right prat taking the time to be so petty.
Emperor has no clothes situation.
Go to Fox News and you’ll find this is all true. Well, except for the conflicts that Joe Biden started and President Trump will resolve on his 1st day. 1st day of what, I’m not sure.
Has anyone asked Bondi if she’s still an agent for Qatar? Her reaction to the question would be humorous.
Another “p” word does come to mind. (“Pathetic.”)
Thinking about his life since November 5 2024: does ANYONE ever give him honest feedback? About his appearance or about anything else?
Donald is something of a living psychology experiment: take one old guy who’s never possessed much in the way of self-insight, surround him with worshipful sycophants for months on end, and watch his view of himself become utterly untethered from reality.
Rik!
Yes, there’s a Young Ones clip for every ‘expressing contempt’ occasion.
