Trump is back in his happy place, out on the campaign trail, voicing whichever disconnected thoughts crackle and fizz through his frontal cortex. His favorite rhetorical theme lately is an unexpected one: the official presidential dreamboat rankings. In multiple rallies, Trump has gone on and on about the relative hotness of male politicians, soldiers, and even protesters. As a result, people on the internet have diagnosed him with a novel medical condition: gay dementia.

"There are some reasons to be president," Donald Trump mused at a rally in Georgia earlier this month. Take a wild guess what these might be. The cool armored car? Custody of the nuclear button? The opportunities for immense corruption? Wrong. The leader of the free world was referring to the joy of living in a house guarded by "big, strong, handsome soldiers." Under Joe Biden, soldiers were not allowed to be hot, because of woke. Even worse, some of them were girls."
Last night, Greenville,SC, at it again, in deep swoon - "Donald Trump Gushes Over Jon Husted's Body Again" (www.newsweek.com):
President Donald Trump has gushed over Republican Senator Jon Husted's body for a second time, saying he is a "pile of muscle."
Speaking on Tuesday at a rally in Greenville, North Carolina, Trump said: "I'm studying his body. I've never studied the body of a man before. It's not my thing. Nothing wrong with it, of course."
"But I looked at his ass, and then I looked at his legs. I said, 'His ass, s***, it's like"it's like a pile of muscle,'" Trump continued. "Then I looked at his legs, and I said, 'Man, his feet are big.' Then I looked at his shoulders, and I tapped him on the shoulder, and it actually hurt my hand. He's like a piece of steel."
"And may every day be another wonderful secret."
Trump Uses Shylock' Term Again - A Year After Claiming He Didn't Know It Was Antisemitic
President Donald Trump once again used the term "Shylock," widely considered antisemitic, while defending Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kan., at a campaign rally in Kansas on Monday night, more than a year after he faced widespread criticism for his use of the term and claimed he was unaware that the term had antisemitic connotations.
Trump previously faced criticism over the term "Shylock" in July last year at a campaign rally in Iowa, where he was touting his domestic policy bill. He said "Think of that: no death tax, no estate tax, no going to the banks and borrowings from in some cases a fine banker. And in some cases, Shylocks and bad people." The use of the term drew immediate pushback, and the Anti-Defamation League issued a statement saying it "evokes a centuries-old antisemitic trope about Jews and greed that is extremely offensive and dangerous," and added: "President Trump's use of the term is very troubling and irresponsible." The term originates from William Shakespeare's play "The Merchant of Venice," which features a character named "Shylock" who is a Jewish money lender.
When asked about his use of the term, which Jewish groups say is antisemitic, Trump told reporters: "I've never heard it that way. To me, Shylock is somebody that's a money lender at high rates ... You view it differently than me. I've never heard that."
