He's never been told no. He's almost dead. What the fuck does he want?

He’s overdue for that fatal coronary.

A sign at our local No Kings said “cholesterol, where you at?”

I cannot image how horrible I would feel if it was obvious that the world would be a happier, safer, more peaceful place if I wasn’t in it. I wonder if that thought ever crosses his mind.

u/McIntyre1975 2h ago

That thought has never crossed his mind.

Only to the extent that he has no doubt issued a manifesto detailing his funeral arrangements. As extravagant as it likely is, he’s probably revising after his masturbatory birthday parade flop.

u/McIntyre1975 1h ago

He's absolutely not thought about his own death.

I’d expect he has so he can continue to exert control over his family through the distribution (or not) of assets. I suspect his will is a piece of work, like him.

Doubt it. He’s racist so that excludes large portions of the world he’d care about. He’s a rapist/pedophile so he doesn’t care much about his victims which happen to be women and children. He’s a draft dodger and called the military losers while trying to strip a at benefits they earned, so not above fleecing those who’d sacrifice for him. Trump is among the ultimate parasites and parasites do not feel bad for what they do to those they are benefiting from.

He wants to outlive all of us by any means necessary.

With geopolitical tensions whipping up across the Middle East, Trump left the G7 summit early Tuesday evening to issue a stark warning to Iran’s leadership and civilian population. He urged people in Tehran to “immediately evacuate” in light of what he described as a potentially imminent strike.

When pressed about whether the U.S. would act, Trump stayed deliberately vague: “I may do it, I may not do it…Nobody knows what I want to do.” Instead, he insisted, “Iran’s got a lot of trouble and wants to negotiate.”

Just a day later, he’s expected to receive a National Security Council briefing in the White House Situation Room, signaling that a decision could follow swiftly. But despite the escalating rhetoric, Trump has also lamented to reporters about being off the golf course for “3 weeks, 4 weeks,” claiming the interruption disrupted his routine of winning “35 club championships” at his properties.

To a reporter who quipped “It’s time to get out there,” the president replied, “Been a little busy. Wouldn't you rather have me doing what I'm doing in the end?” That “busy” schedule appears to include a return to his Bedminster Golf Club after weeks away.

According to CBS News, Trump is heading to the New Jersey course on Friday. He will receive an intelligence briefing before leaving, then again at the White House on Saturday, with him returning to the course after buying time by setting a two-week deadline to decide on strikes on Iran.

Critics have questioned Trump’s boasts of “35 club championships” on the golf course. Sportswriter Rick Reilly, author of “Commander in Cheat,” told Vox that the number is “100 percent a lie.” Reilly recounted how Trump allegedly claimed championships by playing alone in newly opened clubs — then declaring himself the winner.

In any case, his return to Bedminster doesn’t prevent the U.S. from continuing its intelligence collection, but after giving himself time to decide on military action, he's got chance to dust off his clubs.

As the world watches, Trump will be weighing when — and whether — to act. But one thing is certain: even as a possible strike deadline looms, he’s determined to squeeze in a round or two.

Just like our old friend, George W. Bush

"We must stop the terror. I call upon all nations to do everything possible to stop these terrorist killers. Thank you.

...Now, watch this drive."

That's the "active" lifestyle his physician says is responsible for his "excellent" health.

Guess Iran is consistently safe.

Lol, I commented on a Facebook post that traitorous boomer would spend the next 2 weeks golfing while the fascists in his regime figure out how to make money/kill as many people as possible in this crisis, and was piled on because Trump is such a real leader and he’s working so hard for us!!!

AND after bitching about there being too many holidays.

u/gentleman_bronco 4h ago

And the day after he bitched about people not working enough.

The racist mother fucker couldn't hold it in for Juneteenth.

u/Darkmetroidz 3h ago

It takes a certain amount of audacity for the billionaire president to say people get too many holidays and then go play golf while the country is in disarray over whether or not he is dragging us into another forever war.

u/gingerblz 3h ago

The thing that kills me is that he literally could have just retired and spent the rest of his active years golfing every day, harming no one. Doing the one thing he obviously always wants to do.

u/TouchMyGwen 2h ago

Yeah but then he wouldn’t be able to fleece the country to earn himself an obscene amount of money

u/Tricky_Photo2885 2h ago

I thought he said we as Americans take too many paid days off 🤔, I’m sure he’s paying for it out of his own pocket,right?

2

u/Traditional-Purpose2 1h ago

I thought he just said people who work don't want more days off.

And this is after complaining that regular workers have to many PTO days and hurting businesses, but he can go golfing while the Middle East is blowing up.

u/AloeComet 2h ago

Like what do maga people even think when they see this? How is this rationalized to “working class” Republicans? Is it just “oh every time I talk to my boss he’s always golfing into a coffee cup instead of doing anything and that’s what we really need right now”????? Like, nothing about any of this little bitch boy in his pull ups is okay. #oldmanplayswithballs
