You know what’s hilarious? Hanging a painting of yourself in the White House because you look thin in it.
Even funnier is the memes that the painting leads to – do enjoy.
Most of the sane watching world probably agree that body-slamming reporters when you’re a politician running for office ain’t all that hilarious, but you’re going to struggle to find sanity at a Trump rally.
Take for example his appearance at a Montana rally last night. Given that Trump’s under fire for his reaction to the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, you’d think he might take it easy on the ‘violence against reporters’ angle.
Not the case, because he made a point of praising Greg Gianforte, the Congress member from Montana, for violently attacking reporter Ben Jacobs in May of last year.
Here’s the Guardian:
After Jacobs asked Gianforte his question, [reporter] Acuna wrote: “Gianforte grabbed Jacobs by the neck with both hands and slammed him into the ground behind him.
“Faith, Keith and I watched in disbelief as Gianforte then began punching the man, as he moved on top the reporter and began yelling something to the effect of ‘I’m sick and tired of this!’ … To be clear, at no point did any of us who witnessed this assault see Jacobs show any form of physical aggression toward Gianforte, who left the area after giving statements to local sheriff’s deputies.”
So a politician attacks and assaults a journalist, and then more than a year later, Trump arrives in Montana and raves about it.
Worse still, look at those people whooping and hollering in the background:
I think this woman in the blue is broken, and somebody needs to hit the reset button:
Yeah, MAGA or some garbage like that.
