In this case, I actually agree with Trump, he needs to disregard the advice of security “professionals” as often as possible. Hell, every now and then he should just do the exact opposite of what they tell him, just to keep them on their toes.

I'm no security expert but it strikes me that standing in any open field would probably not be advisable for certain... Individuals.

So he is knowingly, intentionally putting people in serious and mortal danger for his own pleasure. Again, I mean. He's doing it again.

[–] wildcardology@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago

He's endangering people just to cheat in golf.

Trump said— thank you, then this is the perfect place to stage another false flag operation.

He’s incredibly predictable. Tell him “Don’t do this or it will be bad…” and he will do it.
“Don’t toss the pandemic response playbook…”.
“Don’t keep those classified documents…”.
“Don’t say stupid racist shit…”.
“Don’t openly praise dictators around the world…”.

Someone should tell him to not take a bath with a toaster.

Someone should tell him to not take a bath with a toaster.

His bathrooms were built by someone who gave a shit (that probably didn't get paid what they were owed), so his outlets are probably up to code and GFCI, so that probably would just give him a story about how General Electric tried to have him assassinated so that Mr Electric could be president.

That poor toaster

[–] Maestro@fedia.io 4 points 2 days ago

Almost all baths are plastic these days. Taking a bath with a toaster will just make the water warmer.

[–] klemptor@startrek.website 1 points 2 days ago

There are certain toasters I'd love to take a bath with...Number Three in particular.

This is my favorite photo of Trump and Loomer. He's decrepit, yet fat as fuck somehow.

[–] CptEnder@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

I wonder if she has to take the diaper off first

[–] BigMacHole@lemm.ee 1 points 1 day ago

That photo is FAKE NEWS! UNLIKE when Taylor Swift ENDORSED Trump FIRST!

[–] Bonesince1997@lemmy.world 17 points 2 days ago (2 children)

When do presidents put together model airplanes instead of always this golf hobby bullshit? Get some indoor hobbies yo.

[–] wildcardology@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago

A hobby that he actively cheats on.

[–] CptEnder@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

I'd vote for whichever president has the sickest DCS or Farming Simulator setup.
