I'm not sure I've ever seen a more pathetic looking loser than how Trump looked giving this speech.

"I was very disappointed, with Americans struggling with the continued rise of inflation that's been going on since Covid, high prices with gas and diesel and constant complaining about the cost of health insurance and health care with no one listening to them " standing in front of the reflecting pool that most Americans, I would say 99.999% of Americans don't ever think about on a daily basis was absolutely the wrong message to send to Americans, asking them to go vote for Republicans tomorrow,"

"I've kept every single promise I made, except far more. I've actually kept far more promises than I made."

"I've kept every single promise I made"

That's actually true. He said he would do a lot of stuff that he never did, but he never actually promised to do anything.

I'll bring down prices on day one.
I'll lower the cost of gas on day one.
I'll lower inflation on day one.
I'll end the war in Ukraine on day one.

Has he ever KEPT a promise???

Republican Math is a dangerous thing. So is Republican Logic. Fact is, you can't KEEP more promises than you MAKE.

Stay in school, kids!

One huge lesson here, to hire a person for the job of President they must have exhibited talent in some areas, and above all, devotion to the people rather than to themselves. No more hiring corporate kings of boardrooms who rule over personal kingdoms and make sure that the profit goes to them and their gang. Trump, like Vivek Ramaswamy , brings/brought nothing to the job, no experience, no plan, nothing but...wait a minute, I will think of one thing positive that Vivek Ramaswamy offers.
Elvis now, on the other hand, there are those who say there was a king, and that a young Elvis.

When you're fishing for votes, I don't know what else you'd call it. He never used the word "try" or "I intend." He said "I will" as a definite statement. There was no other way to take it.

Except, of course, the public already knew that Trump is a compulsive liar. Which he isn't admitting.

Anything else is just waffling.

He is still blaming the olympian for "cutting" the pool.

Dude needs to sue him for slander at this point.

I bet that reflecting pool probably picked up at least 3 or 4 voters for the GOP. How many it drove it away....probably more than that.

And today he's babbling on again about the damn ballroom. As if he and his stupid MAGA movement hadn't been hit by an earthquake last night.

And the day after crushing losses?

A tour of the WH ballroom site.

He's still paying for it, personally as promised in the beginning, right?

Forgot *face palm*.

Then, it was private individuals who're going to pay for it.

Now he wants us taxpayers to pay for it.

How about a crazy idea:
After the ballroom is built and the final cost is tallied, the Federal Government (Congress) seizes his Qatar 747 Airplane "gift" as an asset for securing payment on a debt. Kind of like what some sheriff departments do when they seize a car and everything in it when arresting a suspect.
