Everything always has to be about him, and he'll fabricate stories (like this one) to make that happen.
“I will never forget. Two firemen, we thought [the US Steel Building] was coming down on top of us and two firemen, big strong guys — and I’m not the smallest guy in the world — they grabbed me under the arms and said, ‘Gotta get out of here,’ and they literally lifted me up.”
"This is not easy to do. I’m big. They lifted me up, and they started running with me. I said, ‘Fellas, I can run myself.’ But they were amazing, but they thought it was coming down. It didn’t come down.”
I like this reaction from a former Republican strategist: "Don't allow Trump to sully the 9/11 tragedy with his sick fantasies."
Thousands of people died that day but, within hours of the collapse of the Twin Towers, Trump was bragging that his 40 Wall Street building was now the tallest in Lower Manhattan. That's what was foremost in his mind.
Complete POS. The stain he's left on the country will last for years, but hopefully things begin to change with the November elections.
According to a report published Monday by ProPublica, Donald Trump Jr.’s wedding in May received funding from Russian oligarch Umar Kremlev, who is linked to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The outlet reported that the oligarch paid for Trump Jr.’s wedding expenses in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, citing records and three sources with knowledge of the event. For the president’s son’s big event, ProPublica reported, Kremlev helped rent an island and put up the money for a fireworks show.
“Why did a Russian oligarch close to Putin fund Trump Jr.’s wedding in the Bahamas?” Garcia said in a Monday morning post on the social platform X, responding to the report.
“Umar Kremlev spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on the President’s son. What did he get in return? We need answers,” he added.

The blushing bride says he's a dear friend and this was a wedding present, nothing more.

Yep. Those wedding presents costing "hundreds of thousands of dollars" are sure nice!

The Putin right-hand man and Don Jr. buddy apparently rented out two entire islands for 3 days for the party.
Trump Jr. said on his podcast that the party was “really small, like, just really close friends”
If I had had a Russian goon in my back pocket back in the day, my wedding reception would have been upgraded from a community center with punch to a private island or two with Dom Perignon!

The immense level of corruption from this administration is mind blowing. If there's no repercussions for it then hope it doesn't set a precedent for future presidents to do the same. Checks and balances were obviously nothing but a pipe-dream when push came to shove.
This is f*cking wild.
If you've seen it before, it's worth another look. The screenwriter must have been a 20th century Nostradamus.
Some of the dialogue ("big lie," "a wall . . . that nothing can penetrate," "Trust me, I am the only one") is uncanny.
Add this to the long and growing list of "never thought I'd see this."
Canada, historically our closest friend and ally, is considering associate membership in the EU.
"We are pursuing resilience so that no one can control our open markets, impair our sovereignty, threaten our territorial integrity, or undermine our freedoms, our democracies, our rule of law.”
"No one" = the incompetent, demented, corrupt president of the United States.

Another case to keep the courts busy. The President doesn't understand the freedom of the press is protected in the First Amendment of the US Constitution.
The best part of that thread is the "TRUMP TRANSLATOR" reply.
