Okay but is it really averting a Nuclear Holocaust when you’re the president and you’re entertaining those intrusive thoughts, only to then decide not to initiate a nuclear holocaust? I mean, you don’t really get to say you stopped a mass shooter, when all you did was not go on a mass shooting.
He wanted to nuke those hurricanes though. After sharpieing didn’t work. Is sharpieing a word? Eh, it’s now.
I do enjoy verbing my nouns. I approve.
I love that verbing is an example of verbing!
I can verb with that
Verbing weirds language!
I understand that reference!
“Some people want credit for all the bad things they didn’t do.”
The transcript shows a combative Trump, who was named as a defendant in the case alongside his company and three of his children, at times barely allowing lawyers to get a word in. The former president frequently seems personally offended by the idea that his net worth is being questioned.
I LOL’d big time. Trump can’t
phantomfathom the idea of someone finding out he’s not as well off as he tries to convey to the masses.Tiny little baby. Awww.
Hey I completely agree with your comment, but I wanted to give you a heads up the saying is “can’t fathom the idea”
I prefer the mental image of the other way, like Trump crying and hiding his face while the Phantom of the Opera stands over him yelling: WE KNOW YOUR NET WORTH IS LOWER THAN YOU TELL EVERYONE!
We know your net woooorth / Is lower thaaaaan / What you tell everyone / You spiteful man
And though you claim again / The courts are blind / The phaaaaaaaantom of the civil case is theeeeeeere / Inside your mind
I’d give you gold if it existed. So, uh, just pretend.
♥️😘
I caught your drift, but I’m glad it’s not here on Lemmy.
Perfect, I love it!
Best boneappletea I’ve seen in a bit
“I averted nuclear holocaust…that I instigated. Anyways, I should be allowed to commit unlimited treasons since I am the nuclear war hero now”
My buddy likes to pretend to push me off of stuff and then grab me immediately saying “saved your life!”. This sounds like that situation
Even though he was under oath, does anyone actually believe this? I mean, except MAGA hats, of course.
The only possible takeaway for me on the face of it is that at some point he nearly caused a nuclear Holocaust.
With North Korea, no less. And considering the way he provoked them, he may have.
Ah the good times, was this before or after he saluted one of their generals?
“Not here you idiot, you’re going to blow your cover!… fuck now we have to act like we’re mad to keep up appearances.”
I, for one, was wondering if it was after the passive aggressive tea session that was “Why would Kim Jong-un insult me by calling me ‘old’? I would never call him ‘short and fat’? Oh well, I try so hard to be his friend…”
Ah yes, now I remember. Simpler times.
No, of course not, that’s what makes it so amusing. Who would believe that utter horseshit unless you worship him like a cult leader?
Trump gets dumber every time he opens his mouth.
That little barb in there from the state attorney saying they’d be there all night if Trump didn’t stop giving speeches in response to every question is beautiful.
Trump then went on to say that his properties were even more valuable than was reflected in the statements themselves.
And friends of mine have said, you are the most honest person in the world. So we’ve done a good job. Don’t get credit for it. That’s OK.
So perjury, right? I recall someone else who was impeached for perjury on a much flimsier basis.
So he is saying whoever filled that paperwork out lied about the value of his holdings.
Got it
Worse than that, really:
Each of Trump’s financial statements includes a number of disclaimers, which acknowledge that Trump’s accountants had not reviewed or authenticated his claims. During the interview, Trump refers to those disclaimers, saying that they essentially render the statements meaningless.
TRUMP:
I never felt that these statements would be taken very seriously, because you open it up and right at the beginning of the statement, you read a page and a half of stuff saying, go get your own accounting, go get your own this, go get your own that.
WALLACE:
So why did you get these statements prepared?
TRUMP:
I would say more for maybe myself just to see the list of properties. I think more for myself than anything else. Sometimes an institution would like to see.
Trump then went on to say that his properties were even more valuable than was reflected in the statements themselves.
I averted a nuclear holocaust ten minutes ago via the Butterfly Effect. You’re welcome.
But now you caused the Earth to fall into the sun. Nice job, pal.
I just jumped dw the force will reverberate.
You’ve saved us all! Hero!
Unfit for office, unfit for trial… is there ANYTHING this guy is not unfit for?!
e: ah yes… fucking prostitutes. he MAY be fit for that.
According to Story Daniels, he’s a bit lacking in that department as well.
Story Daniels
I picture her as the nerdy sister of Stormy. 😀
Maybe Stormy was just too turbulent. He should have hired Windy Daniels.

He was too incompetent to start one. I guess that counts for something.
Seems like what he was told by a person talking him out of pushing the button.
“I think you would have nuclear holocaust, if I didn’t deal with North Korea,” he explained, and then added: “And I think you might have a nuclear war now, if you want to know the truth.”
A nuclear war between the US and North Korea would last all of 5 minutes.
