Trick or treat?

Both. A treat if you’re a fan… a trick if you’re not.

I suppose we should be grateful he didn’t come out carrying a cross, dressed in a robe & sandals.

test his ability to fly from the White House balcony. Fuck Tower.

That’s actually mildly funny. I mean, in a stupid, selfish, wannabe dictator way, but it’s like maybe he possesses a microscopic, vestigial sense of humor? Color me gobsmacked.

I think it’s fucking hilarious and I don’t think he has a sense of humor. I think he thinks he’s a special strong-like-bull good-genes person who has to work very hard to realize he isn’t Superman. Most people, even the elderly, get better from this thing, and most people, even the elderly, can tell a camel from a lion, but he thinks he’s a very special person for having done these unremarkable things. It’s not humor. It’s the personality disorder.

And hateful. Copious amounts of it.

We’ve got the better part of a month to go, and as you know the fun never ends.

Minus that last bit, it’s a nice double entendre.

[squirreltown]

I kinda wish he had done it. It’s the sort of thing that gets Karma’s attention.

[grack]

The real news here is someone might have talked him out of something.

Good observation – and seems true, so far.

[lizzymom]

No humor, just optics based on all of the weird Trump’s-head-on-Rambo’s-body skit beloved by the MAGAts…

@carpe_diem

Of course, he may really see himself as Superman. In that case, I hope that he will go ahead and test his ability to

stop bullets. Just think on how much we’d save in Secret Service costs?

I wish it too. There would be this strange sound in the air, like when the 17-year cicadas are out, and you’d realize it was millions of GOPers slamming their heads against the wall.

[squirreltown]

Oh, you’re gonna pay for that.

[realzealman]

a microscopic vestigial something, anyway.

[pshah]

Yes, I don’t think it was an attempt at humor. Why? Because there’s been no evidence of such over the last four years. And he is hopped up on Covid and steroids that would perhaps persuade him to think that this was a good idea.

But, yet, at least he had the self-knowledge not to expose his thighs with Superman’s tights on.

[braxtonbraggart]

Ladies and Gentlemen, our eight-year-old president.

Of course, his fans have been fluffing each other over this for years.

The filters are gone. This COVID-19 does some really weird stuff in in its victims’ bodies.

From the article: A day before his discharge, Trump held a motorcade publicity stunt in front of the hospital. The next day, the COVID-infected President essentially held a photo-op as he returned to the White House and took off his mask.

We, who have some vestige of critical thinking skills left, have always know this “current presidency” was little more than a publicity stunt and a series of tacky and insulting photo-ops, all at our expense. ENOUGH, already. Trump, be a “dier.” Be a criminal defendant. Just get out of our fucking lives. Like we used to say, “Go away, bad dream.”
