“You haven’t asked me one fucking positive question,” he said. “All of this. What about this? What about that? What about that? What about this? All negative.”

The president had been asked about whether Mitch McConnell should resign from the Senate because of his health issues. Trump responded by indicating that videos of McConnell struggling were a “disappointment to a lot of Republicans,” before noting that “Sleepy Joe gave pardons to everybody.” He then exploded, questioning why they were asking about the White House renovations so much, and griping that they hadn’t asked him about Venezuela. Time pointed out that they talked about Venezuela at length earlier in the interview.

“I don’t understand. I’m sitting here. I’ve done all this stuff,” Trump said. “I took the White House and made it beautiful again.”

Here's a positive question about his deeds that a reporter should ask:

Mr. President, how good did it feel to rape children?

Until recently, I wanted Trump to join Our Lord Jesus Christ as promptly as possible.

Now... I kind of dig it. He is openly legally impaired, with sagging stroke face and hungry piggy eyes; everything he does is excruciatingly humiliating for all Americans.

So, now, I want him to live out the rest of his term, and publicly rant and suffer and bloat and curse the world with screaming rages. I want everyone to watch.

I want the whole world to see... THIS is why you limit the powers of a President. THIS is why you should remove your Nixon's from office. LOOK AT THIS

People, especially Americans, are not going to learn a lesson from Trump embarrassing his country. Things will get a whole lot worse before they get better.

Personally, I want him to live long enough to prosecute his end of a 2nd American Civil War. The corruption and chaos he would cause the Dogey Confederacy, would save the lives of many good people.

The opportunity to do a Reconstruction 2.0 and clearing the board of fascism, also holds great appeal.

This will never happen unfortunately

EVERY reporter in the pool should ask Epstein questions only.

Whether it's Trump or Schumer, exclusively Epstein files.

“Sleepy Joe gave pardons to everybody.”

Says the dude who pardoned J6ers?

If we posted every pic of him sleeping on the job we'd probably crash lemmy.

Keep in mind this is the same guy who was threatened with contempt of court like 2 dozen times for falling asleep when he was convicted of 38 felonies

[-] peetabix@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 hours ago

Is there a /c/sleepytrump?

[-] Thebeardedsinglemalt@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

Be the change you want to see

[-] PalmTreeIsBestTree@lemmy.world 5 points 2 hours ago

When this piece of vile shit finally croaks, I will finally feel a momentary level of satisfactory relief…

"I took the White House and made it beautiful again"

Nobody asked for that and nobody cares but him.

[-] kent_eh@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 hour ago

Plus, it's objectively wrong.

The White House is considerably more ugly and tacky looking than before he was elected.

Another day, another lie from Trump.

[-] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 hours ago

why they were asking about the White House renovations so much

Apparently they did care.

[-] Zombiepirate@lemmy.world 23 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

Besides, he turned the east wing into a crater and the rest into a gaudy, tasteless travesty.

[-] Thebeardedsinglemalt@lemmy.world 6 points 2 hours ago

Destroyed the lawn for his white trash celebration

[-] Cornpop@lemmy.world 16 points 4 hours ago

You haven’t done one positive thing?

[-] Mulligrubs@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

Now, now, let's not be crazy.

He did legalize hemp in his first term.

That was nice

(nothing since then womp womp)

[-] alekwithak@lemmy.world 5 points 49 minutes ago

Then undid it in his second term. There's a lot of stuff like that.

[-] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 hour ago

Where's all the hemp stuff by now? I remember hearing how it was so great and useful.

[-] KneeTitts@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

He did legalize hemp

Ill never, ever get all the hype over hemp

i got banned off of reddit for saying this exact comment

[-] 5318008@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

I can't imagine any other result from a microblog that turned Publicly Traded Company.

Think of the risk to the investors, putting out language like that!

[-] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 2 points 3 hours ago

Well stop advocating that his own body do violence against him! What if he had read your comment and his impressionable brain obeyed you?

[-] Smoogs@lemmy.world 2 points 47 minutes ago
[-] dektep@lemmy.world 8 points 4 hours ago

ugh drop dead already pedo fuck

[-] betanumerus@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 hours ago

Is "F-cking" a politically correct word, Mr. President?

[-] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 1 points 46 minutes ago

Anything he does is politically correct because he's a the god-emperor of the Republicans.

[-] Smoogs@lemmy.world 6 points 4 hours ago

and how good did it feel to first push his ex wife down the stairs and then burrying her on your golf course as a pathetic power move?

[-] Smaile@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 hours ago

You have done one positive fucking thing you orange clown

[-] kent_eh@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 hour ago

The only positive thing I remember him doing was losing the 2020 election. And he couldn't even do that right.

[-] Heikki2@lemmy.world 9 points 5 hours ago

I know itll never happen but perhaps he should do something the people actually want and stop doing shit that benefits him and his family

[-] SethTaylor@lemmy.world 15 points 6 hours ago

Reporter: "Have you been bad? Have you been a bad boy, Mr. President? Have you been misbehaving?"
