    Ngl, that got a chuckle out of me. At some point you just have to laugh at the absurdity of the world you live in or you’ll go mad right along with it.

    “Things happen” ???

    Trump has definitely killed some poor girl and had the body disappeared in the past to have this level of sympathy for Khashoggi.

      Probably a hit and run on 5th Avenue, hence his earlier comment.

      It’s always projection, so he clearly killed someone there and got away with it

      There’s a more plausible but less exciting explanation for this too. Trump has no confidence at all. He’s pathetic. He is desperately seeking affirmation externally and only from certain terrible people. He wants the approval of people he considers impressive because he doesn’t understand how or why the world (or people) work the way they do. Think back to his years in New York. He had a horrible reputation he was never willing to change. He just wants to rebrand himself and all the things people hate about him as desirable traits. All the elites in New York fucking hated him so now he’s trying to find “better friends”. Trump is weak. He has no solid foundation of self. So he needs everyone else to support his emotional needs.

          What’s disgusting is that this isn’t even a joke. That is really what those fucking people think, and it’s even what they say out loud.

      They are. We’re all in a hell built to punish Trump. He gets everything he wants, but in a monkey paw sort of way

      Now, as his death approaches and his thoughts turn to his legacy, the pedo files are being released. He’s going to live just long enough to see his name torn off of buildings

    Defending murdering journalist critics on the regime. We all see where this is going right? Seeing how he already thinks making fun of him is illegal?

      So if you could get a blowjob from trump, would not washing it for a week or two prior make the idea more tolerable ?

      To be fair, those bone saws were flown in after he got killed. Luring him to the embassy was definitely pre-planned.
