The president later added, “And just, you know, because I don’t want to have a terrible story about this. I did it for him first and for the vote second. But it was a close second, actually. But I did it for the vote second.”

    Yeah that’s Trump. He uses anything and everything to his advantage. He doesn’t understand boundaries, that’s why he can fuck children in their holes. Yes, I said it. Read it again Americans and know your shame.

    Somehow this hasn’t had him removed from office so I think Americans need to be reminded how absolutely evil and disgusting their president is how fucked it is the Republicans keep him in power.

      Ah, but you are mistaken. Many Americans see Trump as a role model, and would kill to be him. The man who can do any Bad Thing, and get away with it.

    On another note. I wonder what Republicans like Mike Johnson would do if Trump asked to fuck their children. Think they’d finally grow a spine? Or would they let him rape their kids, too, and keep supporting him? Kind of fucked up this is legitimately possible from the POTUS.

      Trump used to proposition the wives of his “friends” and most of them didn’t regard that as a dealbreaker.

      Weird to imagine him asking first. But yes, conservatives always understand a problem the instant it affects them personally. They just compartmentalize so well they never see it coming.

        Good point. Maybe he finds them alone when they visit the white house, Trump doesn’t ask, he just does it, I hear they let you when you’re the president.

    Trump said he got the White House doctors involved, who he called “miracle workers.”

    This puts a bad thought in my head, because Trump really only ever thinks about himself, so why would he be able to have a thought like this?

    What if Trump said that because he himself had a terminal diagnosis, and he’d be dead by now if not for the treatment he receives only because he’s president? Like, if America hadn’t voted for him in 2024, our Donald Trump problem might have solved itself by now.

    Trump first said he wouldn’t mention the lawmaker’s name before turning to Johnson and telling him to share the story, saying the House member they were discussing would “be proud.”

    “Okay, well. Thank you, Mr. President. Congressman Neal Dunn of Florida had had some real health challenges, and it was very serious, and had had a pretty grim diagnosis. And I mentioned it to the president and I said, ‘Congressman Dunn is a real champion and a patriot because he’s still coming to work, and if others got this diagnosis, they would be apt to go home and retire,’” Johnson said.

    Trump then pressed Johnson to say what the diagnosis was, and Johnson replied, “It was, I mean, I think it was a terminal diagnosis.”

    “He would be dead by June,” Trump said bluntly.

    “Okay, that wasn’t public,” Johnson responded.

    Wow. Just wow.

      And this is why your workplace has no business knowing your personal health issues. If you’re going to miss work, so be it, but they didn’t need to know Dunn has a terminal diagnosis with less than 6 months to live.

        In this specific case and in the absence of all other information it sounds like the Whitehouse doctors saved the dude’s life?

          Doctors should be keeping information like that private, regardless of who they’re employed by.

            They probably did. This dumbfuck probably told trump himself, and was surprised that he didn’t have any regard for him or his plans, emotions, family, whatever the fuck else.

    The most blatant lie in this clip is that the Donvict did it for the vote second. If it were up to him, there would be no Congress at all. And he wouldn’t care whatever happened to any of them as people. It’s just like the gravity he demonstrates when the White House Press corp ask him questions about our military coming back in body bags. How much money he’s making personally supercedes the spilling of the blood of the “chumps” in the military. Think of all the Americans that will die this year for his greed to not let them be covered with affordable health care.
