I watched a clip so I'll save you a click: He doesn't actually fall out of the chair. Says he won't because it spins, accused it of being a "booby trap" set by Harris.

Wait, a headline designed to outrage people??

Nooooooo!

[–] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 45 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Why did they censor the booby in booby trap? It refers to the definition of booby meaning stupid person or slow bird, not slang for breast.

[–] El_guapazo@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah. I read it as a bitch trap.

[–] ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 15 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Holy shit all this time it wasn't BITCH TRAP?!

I told my neighbor that.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I thought it was bitch trap this entire time. I figured booby trap would never occur to him.

Wait... is this real or satire?

He's trying to earn that purple heart

If he'd eat more burgers, he could get a real one.

Lots of unused space so she might as well.

But its full of shit and the people downstairs smell like used diapers.

[–] jaggedrobotpubes@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

Oh look he's crying inside and trying to pass it off as toughness again.

Double down again I bet no one will point out what a bitch you are this time lol

She's Living Rent-Free in His Head

They're clearly in his head, but I mean, they're spending a lot of money and have a literal campaign going so I'm not sure I would call it rent free.

I really hate Trump and it feels weird to defend him, but i think everyone is freaking out over what is the closest thing to a witticism that Trump has ever uttered. He’s stupid and has low self-awareness; however, this sounds like a facetious comment - possibly tinged with self-deprecation. Am i giving him too much credit?

[–] Gerudo@lemm.ee 17 points 1 month ago

Yeah, Trump and self-deprecation don't exist together.

[–] Curious_Canid@lemmy.ca 14 points 1 month ago

I understand where you're coming from, but you are giving Trump way too much credit. Aside from all of his "I was only joking" non-apologies after making some horrendous and unforgivable statement, the only kind of humor he has ever attempted is to make fun of the misfortunes of others. Seriously, look at his history.

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

I haven't read the article at all but I'm going to say yes

Most people are, about anything but being a shitbird, which he excels at
