President Trump, speaking to reporters.

(82,293 posts)I think he has been given bad news about his health?
Meanwhile Jared and Ivanka running to Gaza to make a huge money
deal taking over Gaza beachfront property.
Are they winding up their latest scam as fast as possible?

Bernardo de La Paz
(60,320 posts)He is now obsessed by his legacy. It's almost as if he is focused on fascist architecture and elusive Peace Prizes more than the economy. He is again being careless about the latter with open market posts and 100% add-on tariff taxes. He is thinking he is driving a hard bargain but the Chinese have some experience negotiating and some history enduring pain and stress.
I wonder if the full-court press he put on for the Prize indicates a timing issue, an impending horizon. Perhaps he wanted the 2025 Prize so badly because he may not be eligible for the 2026 as measured by body temperature?

(131,209 posts)and sincerely repent. I don't see Trump ever either acknowledging he'd done anything wrong or feeling sorry about it. Speculating about his final destination is about as far as he'll ever get.

The Madcap
(2,029 posts)That's the first time I remember him being honest. I need to go get that bottle of wine for the occasion.

(53,365 posts)I wish I was joking. I expect this will be coming out of the mouths of right wing talking heads.

(2,752 posts)The horror. The horror.
It's no wonder he snuggles up to the tech titans and hopes for existence in the confines of a computer, with nothing but his own thoughts. We offered him something similar - a life in prison, but the Republicans sycophants spoiled those plans.
Maru Kitteh
(32,005 posts)He wants to hear leaders and people he considers important publicly talking about what a double plus good man he is, how hes the most powerful golfer ever and how GOD himself will hang that Nobel Prize around Trumps neck. Hell build the best Heaven sky projects and live in the tallest Heaven tower with the best marble. What a nut job.

(68,470 posts)He's hearing that voice except it's saying DONALD J.
TRUMP!
Only, I don't think he'll finally repent like old Scrooge did.
He's gonna have to get down on his knees and start begging all the people he screwed to forgive him. And he has to mean it.
Then he's got a lot of work to do.

Restore Democracy!
Return the money to the people you harmed!
Settle with your victims.
Pardon yourself then flee to an empty island with Walt for the remainder.
If you did all that, I'd be okay with the pardon.
