Trump the comedian

Just now, at a rally, Trump is addressing the Hunter Biden / Ukraine situation. He picked a guy in the audience, and the following exchange took place:

Trump: sir, do you know anything about Ukranian energy?

Man: No

Trump: so wouldn't it be weird if we put you on the board of a Ukranian energy company?

Man: Yes it would!

Trump: What do you do for a living?

Man: I'm a bail bondsman.

Trump: A bail bondsman? Huh. So do you know Hunter Biden and Sleepy Joe?

The crowd went berserk.

Not presidential I admit, but really funny.

Thoses crowds go berserk on every lie he utters. Or disparaging. Remark And 3/4 of them will be at church on sunday

I found this quite funny also, albeit sadly true.

It's pretty much on par with what we've come to expect from Trump's audiences.

we can’t all be as fine and sophisticated as those who put cashmere sweaters around their
necks, sipping apple-tinis. what trump said, was funny. he resonates with those people. he could just call them
deplorable i suppose.

The fact that 3 weeks after Hunter joined a company back in 2009, that company got a $130 million bailout loan from the feds...nothing to see there?

that was a private transaction, you didn’t pay for it. trump wasn’t a politician in 2008.

You mean nobody pays a 50 million dollar premium for a property or maybe it’s just the art of the (dirty) deal.

If it weren’t for the impeachment, the bad blood between him and top brass and if he didn’t see a personal gain in 2020 to at least appear to give a damn about our troops abroad; I suspect he’d be golfing instead. Only took him almost a full term to make the effort, good he finally went, but I suspect it has a lot to do with him knowing he needs more than a good economy to get another term.

Glad to see Floridaman went to Afghanistan.

Trump can't golf and knows people are wondering why, so he went to Afghanistan to feed the troops. We know he fears going to military bases overseas. But not playing golf for a couple of weeks just makes people ask more questions about that Walter Reed trip.
Part One of his annual physical.............and all the people waiting to board the plane to Guyana believe it.
