Donald Trump wanted to deliver a closing argument at his bank fraud trial. But when his lawyers wouldn’t agree that he’d follow the rules, the judge blew the plan apart.
This is unrelated, because nobody is surprised by this development.
I’m sure it’s partly the choice of photo, but just in the last two years, Trump is really starting to look old. Like fucking hell, I don’t see how Republicans can complain about Joe Biden’s age when that’s their guy.
I can only hope his heart is about 20 years older than he looks.
I noticed that his bronzer utilization has increased pretty steadily. If you ever see a shot of him wearing no makeup - sometimes they get one when he’s golfing yet again - he looks like a walking corpse.
What will never cease to amaze me is how these hyper-macho maga types have so completely dedicated their very lives to a cake-level makeup wearing NYC landlord billionaire who says that military vets are suckers for joining, that POWs should be dismissed as useless, and who eats his steaks well done with ketchup and would never touch a beer. All of that flag waving macho bullshit is really just bullshit for show. It literally doesn’t matter to them.
What finally made it click for me is that his supporters don’t care about policy, outcomes, Trump’s personal life, his many obvious failings, his hatred of them and things they claim to stand for, etc. . They only care about “hurting the right people.” As long as Trump says Mexicans are rapists, antifa are terrorists, Democrats are evil, etc. , his supporters will fall on line. They view society as a zero-sum game, as a team sport. As long as “they” are hurting you must be doing better. It doesn’t matter if the economy and everything do a nose dive as long as “they” get hurt by it more. It’s politics of hate and vindictiveness.
Stress and anxiety, probably. He never felt it before, since he had daddy’s money and didn’t actually care about being the President before he was elected the first time, or about doing a good job after he was sworn in. But then he was charged in four separate courtrooms, and all of his legal defenses keep dropping like flies, so I would bet this is all eating away at him. He’s going the way of Donovan in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, but the grail is a McDonald’s cup full of indictments.
Not to mention he believes that physical exercise drains your body of life and he eats like shit. The only silver lining in all of this is that even if Trump wins and creates an American dictatorship, he’s not likely to live long anyways. Though I’m sure somebody else will be in line right behind him to take his place.
"After college, after Trump mostly gave up his personal athletic interests, he came to view time spent playing sports as time wasted. Trump believed the human body was like a battery, with a finite amount of energy, which exercise only depleted. So he didn’t work out. When he learned that John O’Donnell, one of his top casino executives, was training for an Ironman triathlon, he admonished him, “You are going to die young because of this.”

People go on about Biden, but Trump is the one I expect to drop dead of a stroke in the middle of one of his crazy rants.
From your lips to God’s ears.

–Trump Revealed, Mike Kranisch and Marc Fisher
Every time you hear a Republican complain about Biden’s age, just point out that Trump is three years young than Biden and laugh at them.
You wonder how Republicans can hold a hypocritical set of views? Oh honey. They’re well practiced at that. It’s hypocrisy all the way down.
