“Surprise, surprise, surprise.”
— Gomer Pyle, 1962
To be fair, that headline only reflects his largesse as of October 14, 2016. Things may’ve changed since then.
Gesture is nice.
Sad coming from such a lying hypocrite.
beau geste [boh zhest] French.
1.a fine or noble gesture, often futile or only for effect.
How much are the caps and T-shirts?
Can’t go out in public for a memorial ceremony, because of protesters. But, it will be the greatest and silentist moment of silence ever held at the White House, I can tell you that. Believe me. (Me and Melania in a room together - doesn’t get much more silent than that. Except when she’s screaming, “Get avay from me!”)
Only Donald Trump could fuck up something like this. I hate to have to say it, but I’m crossing my fingers on this one too. Let’s hope he doesn’t tweet something inane afterwards. Who am I kidding?
Any Moment of Silence at the White House is a good thing.
Melania will wear her special red, white and blue stilettos in honor of the dead?
Unlikely.
Dump always wears ties that point to his dick. Now Melania’s wearing shirts that point to her Christmas presents.
Awkward if Vlad P calls on Donnie’s personal cell during the silence - he’ll just have to pick up.
“It will be a great silence. No one will do it better than me. A really silent silence. Most people won’t find out how great it was afterwards though because the failing NYT will print fake news about it. SAD!..What, it’s over?”
Oh, great. We’ll look forward to trump repeating his comments from September 11th:
40 Wall Street actually was the second-tallest building in downtown Manhattan, and it was actually before the World Trade Center the tallest, and and then when they built the World Trade Center it became known as the second-tallest, and now it’s the tallest…
This is a PR gimme for Trump and one of those instances where if he can simply shuffle over an extremely low bar (he just needs to shut up for a few seconds and not put his foot in his mouth), there’d be no room for critics and he’d look “Presidential”.
There’s an 80% chance he’ll screw it up.
That’s about right. trump’s handlers: “Ok, donald, a hurricane has hit Texas. All you need to do is go down there and put your arm around a couple survivors and pretend to be sad for them.” trump: “I can screw that up!” trump’s handlers: “Ok, donald, neo-nazis have murdered an innocent woman by plowing a car into a crowd. All you need to do is say that nazis are bad.” trump: “I can screw that up!”
Where’d Melania get Michael Jackson’s old shirt?
16 years ago and listen past the narcissism to how untangled the sentence structure is compared to today. It’s not great prose but he doesn’t sound at all incoherent like he always does now. Interesting.
Anyone want to be on if donnie can keep silent through the whole moment of silence? I’d bet the urge to flap his sphincter mouth - the need to spew his special brand of nonsensical word salad - will be too much for him to control.
