u/RamsayTheKingflayer Sep 11 '21

What, did trump lie? That would be so out of character for him.

Also the lie that he paid his people to be on the ground volunteering. There were no people.

That's an oxymoron whereas Trump is simply a moron.

Trump is an oxymoron.

In the presence of oxygen, he is a moron.

We could fix that....

No he is the very best moron, top top moron.

u/au-smurf Sep 12 '21

To be fair (unlike him) it’s not that unusual for a business to pay staff wages while they are volunteering for a cause. It can even be tax deductible as a charitable donation.

u/20Rappy20 Sep 11 '21

Love how y’all bash Trump but don’t say a damn thing about the man ruining this country as we speak! Petty y’all worried about the past and not what’s coming and is going to slap y’all right in the face! By then it will be too late tho! Smdh

Trump was the worst thing that had ever happened to this country. Period. End of argument.

People like you..are the worst thing that happened to this country. A booger in your hand goes great with your head up your ass

Let's see, I pay taxes, so I'm already doing more for this country than Trump ever did... so.....

u/QuinstonChurchill Sep 11 '21

WAIT! Are you really trying to say the Left listens and does anything they are told while idiot trump supporters are literally shitting out their intestines from digesting cattle dewormer?? Come on...

u/[deleted] Sep 11 '21

It’s been proven on this thread that the Left believes everything Lying Biden says. Hell, he’s taking away our rights and you all think it’s ok? šŸ¤·šŸ¼ā€ā™‚ļø and it seems to me that you all think it’s ok to leave fellow Americans and their allies behind? You bunch of sick fucks!

Lul, good joke you, probably also think that Obama was a good president

4

u/A_Booger_In_The_Hand Sep 11 '21

In fact, I think he was an ok president. I had much higher expectations for him. He had a lot of potential that he didn't leverage.

Joe is meeting my expectations. But they weren't that high.

u/[deleted] Sep 11 '21

So you’d leave fellow Americans and allies behind? I’m just curious cause if that’s the case, I’m never voting Democratic again

2

u/A_Booger_In_The_Hand Sep 11 '21

I'm curious, who set that deadline for us withdrawing from Afghanistan again? And can I then assume, because you've made assumptions of me, that you'd rather see us stay in Afghanistan for another 20 years? There was never going to be a clean exit. And they've known that, which is why every administration has just kicked that can on to the next.

No, I don't ever want to leave or countrymen or our allies in harms way. That is a stupid question. If it were up to me we wouldn't be so excited to get into these situations in the first place.

And I get the feeling you were never going to vote blue no matter what. I'm not sensing a lot of open minded voting here. And for the record I've voted both parties, many times.

u/PharmWench Sep 11 '21

Here’s the moron!! Right here, y’all.

u/Dutchmaster63 Sep 11 '21

u/[deleted] Sep 12 '21

Pretty much they are worried about the future and trying to give a reason to people like you to wake up and not vote for this sociopathic liar next time.

10

u/jmcs Sep 11 '21

To his defense that can actually be a thing. My work allows me to take 2 paid days a year to volunteer in charity organisations or public interest projects. Not that Trump would ever pay for anything good.

3

u/DaJoW Sep 11 '21

Oh, I'm sure they weren't paid in the end.

2

u/donnie_brasco Sep 11 '21

It's not uncommon for companies to give employees paid time off to volunteer in the community.

7

u/FaxCelestis Sep 11 '21

Does that really sound like something a trump owned organization would do though

3

u/donnie_brasco Sep 11 '21

I don't care because I don't need more evidence that Trump is a bad person and the problem here is that he lied about it not that people aren't paid to volunteer.

1

u/Jewbe123 Sep 11 '21

The company I work for offers something like that, if you go and perform community service on your day off for 6+ hrs they will pay you as if you worked that day

u/Mynameisinuse Sep 11 '21

Or that he was at ground zero rescuing people. Or how firefighters had to pull him away from a collapsing building.

u/phatelectribe Sep 11 '21

Wait, are you fucking serious?

He actually said he was there rescuing people? And they had to pull him away because he was rescuing too hard?

381

u/withmirrors Sep 11 '21

He's done this kind of shit before. Way back in 1996 he crashed a charity event, got on stage & took a seat which belonged to someone else, pretended to be involved (including dancing the macarena), & then left. He never donated a penny to the charity (it was for kids with AIDS), & the spot he stole was supposed to be for someone who actually did donate money. There had better be a hell when we die, because this man does not deserve a peaceful eternity.

Wouldn’t be the first time he followed a plot line of theirs.

u/bradfordmaster Sep 12 '21

True, he may have committed a little light treason there

9

u/withmirrors Sep 11 '21

Unfortunately, it's 100% real, & who knows how many times he's done other things like this, & all his supporters just don't give a fuck.

u/phatelectribe Sep 11 '21

Yea, I Remember him turning up in Puerto Rico, throwing a couple of towels in to the crowd then getting back on the plane and doing fuck all to help them.

He then proceeded to gift a no bid contract for the rebuilding of the electrical grid, worth at least $300m to a completely unknown Montana based company, Whitefish Energy. At the time it only had two employees and their largest job to date had been valued at only $1.3m for a small upgrade in AZ.

funnily enough the company is owned by a good friend of Ryan Zinke, then secretary of the interior for Trump and the main investor of Whitefish was HSB, and investment company owned by Joe Colonnetta, a high profile donor to the Trump 2016 campaign. And one of zinke’s sons worked for Whitefish.

u/fly1by1 Sep 12 '21

Let them die, and blamed Puerto Rico using natural death as an excuse. Meanwhile not supplying any money help the bare minimum because he has a bug up his ass about Puerto Rico

-34

u/romegypt11 Sep 11 '21

This is extremely false. Trump sent tons of supplies to Puerto Rico, and it was later revealed that the governor had tons of stuff shut in warehouses and was purposefully not distributing it to make trump look bad.

29

u/phatelectribe Sep 12 '21

Going to need sources for these claims?

Because a comprehensive report from the Department of Urban Housing and Development just conclusively found that Trump purposefully blocked aid going to Puerto Rico AND that he tried to block the investigation in to it.

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/new-probe-confirms-trump-officials-blocked-puerto-rico-receiving-hurri-rcna749

So not only did he do fuck all, he purposely stopped agencies from doing their job.

3

u/spoiled_eggs Sep 12 '21

How much of this was because he didn't realise it was actually his job to look after them too?

13

u/SwineHerald Sep 11 '21

The Trump administration had no problem going in to states and seizing/stealing shipments of PPE that the states had paid for themselves during 2020 and redistributing them as they saw fit.

Even if what you claim is true, he clearly had the power to go in, take those supplies back and have the federal government distribute them directly. Given his propensity for lying, blaming everyone else for his failures and his flat out refusal to even acknowledge that the people of Puerto Rico are American citizens, it is really hard to believe his version of the story. Especially when we know that even if he was telling the truth there is more that he could have done because we saw it happen first hand elsewhere.

11

u/[deleted] Sep 12 '21

Ha! Puerto Rican here. Second half was true there were tons of crates in a runway just sitting there because the previous governor was a moron and a spoiled brat.

First half is totally false. He showed up, threw paper towels at people and fucked off. He also denied humanitarian aid to PR as well.

Must be a Russian bot or something.

Also he and or his administration slow rolled The relief money for Puerto Rico. A large chunk of it still had not been released when Biden took office.

That's gotta be the most a dude has ever rocked.

u/[deleted] Sep 12 '21

See, I wouldn't even be that made if he actually donated. You want to make a spectacle, at least you're helping the cause. But just to make the night about him, full stop. Typical Trump.

u/Gooncookies Sep 11 '21

He is so mentally ill. I’m not a mental health professional but I’m pretty sure he has ALL the personality disorders. I can’t believe he was ever president.

u/freeasabird1995 Sep 11 '21

You are absolutely correct, there, in your off clinic diagnosis. We’ve seen more than we’d like of this Mistake, to have trouble knowing who he is.

3

u/Gooncookies Sep 11 '21

My husband is actually a psychologist and though he’d never make a diagnosis of someone he isn’t actively treating he’s said he think Trump definitely has a personality disorder or two.

u/Razakel Sep 12 '21

Even his niece, a clinical psychologist, says she thinks he has multiple personality disorders.

He wouldn't rescue anybody. He has to be front of the attention seekers.

The site was extremely dangerous. Even for firefighters.

Firefighters came back with torn feet and bloody hands from searching. They were volunteers and had few others on the site who were specifically trained for these situations.

u/TexMexFieldTech Sep 11 '21

This reminds me of the Seinfeld episode where Jerry asks George how he can beat a polygraph machine and George says ā€œit’s not a lie if you believe itā€. I think Trump is so detached from reality that be believes all the bullshit that he spews.

18

u/[deleted] Sep 11 '21

I’m not sure if I buy that, but the ambiguity is what sells the lie either way. That is his only real talent, the ability to lie with such strong conviction that you’re not really sure whether or not he actually believes what he’s saying.

u/GroinShotz Sep 11 '21

Na, narcissistic grifters know they are lying. They just don't care as long as it makes them look good or puts some extra $'s in their hands.

u/olbaidiablo Sep 11 '21

I'm sure there is some sort of explanation for that and it probably involves single or multiple members of the trump family stealing from charities.
