Donald J. Trump 2024

[pipistrelle]

Supposedly someone was having a medical issue and the EMTs were coming.

[jemcanada2]

Hydraulic leak. He's in clean coal country. They'll know what to do.

Plenty of duck tape there!

[pipistrelle]

I'm assuming plaid shirt guy didn't get in.

Trump plane heading to Montana rally was diverted

Donald Trump’s plane was diverted on its way to Bozeman, Montana, due to a mechanical issue but landed safely in nearby Billings, according to a staff member at the Billings airport.

The former president was heading to Bozeman for a Friday night rally in support of Republican Senate candidate Tim Sheehy, who is challenging Democratic Sen. Jon Tester.

Hey Donnie, you keep bloviating about wanting less government regulation. Do you feel the government should butt-out of aircraft safety? Do you remember the MCAS incidents with the MAX 8? It was you who said, "keep flying it." What happened there, Donnie? Should the FAA just butt-out of Boeing's business? What are the exact details of your delusional helicopter incident? Comes now a Boeing 757 owned by you. You claim it had mechanical issues. How closely is the FAA scrutinizing the maintenance?

Nobody can accuse you of thinking very deep, Donnie.

According to the CBS article he got in, and was part of the Hitler Trump Yoots on camera standing behind DJT. The 17yo did not wear a MAGA hat or tee shirt, and grimmaced a lot as Der Fuhrer Orange Shit Gibbon Trump spoke.

I feel bad for the kid. There's bound to be at least one asshole that will challenge him in the next couple days.

I meant this time. I’m sure he’s on a list.

No worries. I doubt there will a Bozeman second act. The skid mark on the tarmac is not from tires.

It will become apparent to Trump in the near future that he's dropping in the polls. Yes, he may discount those polls, but I can imagine that even internal Republican polls will start showing the shift. The real question, then, is how does Trump react going forward. You will hear a lot of Republican pundits and right wing media encouraging him to stress the issues, to be presidential, etc. But, in my opinion, Trump is just going to double down on the insults and "I'm a victim!" and, basically, be more of his worst self. We didn't see as much of that in 2020 because Trump was crowing about the huge crowds he had compared to Biden. He wasn't as threatened. But now VP Harris is obviously drawing large crowds. It's not 2020 anymore. And Trump absolutely does not understand joy. He does not understand the appeal of a relatable dad. I truly believe he will continue to have huge rallies. There's millions of MAGAs in this country. However, he's going to drive some away and more independents will be drawn to the joy of VP Harris than the anger of DonOld Trump.

... in my opinion, Trump is just going to double down on the insults and "I'm a victim!" and, basically, be more of his worst self.

That's my opinion too also. He can't stand that he's going to lose to a biracial woman. I try not to speculate about race very much, but I think it's legitimately a real issue with Trump, who we know is a vile racist pig. That's the first thing, race.

The second is sex. We know he can't stand any kind of criticism, and especially by a woman. We also know that Vice President Harris is going to criticize him every day for the next 87 days. She's going to be very critical of him, especially if he really shows up for the September 10th debate. That gives her a chance to get right in his face, and he's unable to handle that. We know he describes women he doesn't like in the most disgusting way he can. "She was bleeding from her wherever." He can't stand it when women confront him with real facts and direct criticism.

I think MN-Skeptic has it right - the more he realizes that he's losing the election, the lower he's going to go in attacking VP Harris. It's already starting, with his comments about her IQ. Sometimes I think, okay, that's as low as he can go in public. But he always finds a way to get dirtier and more disgusting. I think he's gonna be setting new records for disgusting attacks based on her race and sex.

Or, maybe he'll suddenly start acting really presidential and discussing real policy issues intelligently, and stop the personal attacks completely.

That's some mighty fine crack you're smokin'....

[Resume18]

Exactly when is the effing NYT gonna call out Trump's effing cognative decline the way the did Biden's?

[tek]

"I was on a helicopter with Willie Nelson and Charlie Brown when we had to crash land behind enemy lines. Luckily, our pilot - they call him 'Snoopy', funny looking guy - knew of a nearby french cafe with cute waitresses"

That's my story, and I'm sticking with it.

Meanwhile, this is an actual statement from Celine Dion:

"Today, Celine Dion's management team and her record label, Sony Music Entertainment Canada Inc., became aware of the unauthorized usage of the video, recording, musical performance, and likeness of Celine Dion singing 'My Heart Will Go On' at a Donald Trump / JD Vance campaign rally in Montana.

"In no way is this use authorized, and Celine Dion does not endorse this or any similar use.

"…And really, THAT song?"

And, for those who don't know, My Heart Will Go On is from the movie Titanic. That's as bright as waving "You're Fired!" signs behind Vance and Trump.

[Suranis]

So he actually was in a helicopter crash? Heh. I would have put money on it being a fake story.

[bill_g]

Yeah. Apparently a hard landing with a LA City Coucilman in the early 90's.

[AndyinPA]

I have been away for most of this week. I just made the mistake of reading all I missed on this thread.

Please, please, please make him go away. I don't care how. We spend way too much of our lives (and I understand why) on this cretin.

[Dr. Ken]

Hate to quote myself but I'm reminded of last election when Trump was asked if he received some information from foreign power that was hacked from his opponent if he would bother informing the fbi. I'm thinking two things.

1. This actually happened and something big is about to come out

Or

2. Something big is about to come out and he's claiming he was hacked as an excuse to brunt the damage

[Estiveo]

Given that the hacking claim came from Steven Cheung, who is an even bigger lying liar than TFG, I'd bet any leak was more disgruntled staffer than Iranian skulduggery.

[Dave from down under]

Dossier on Vance…

Oh no…

Yes… a couch…

Yes Vance is dropping out..

No, not because I wanted him to..

Oh well..,

Ivanka… come to daddy..

I got all excited for about 10 seconds, then I remembered that anyone doing such a thing would be more likely to want Trump to get into power again. So, probably nothing juicy and good for the good guys is on the horizon involving Trump being hacked.

Celine Dion has made a statement that she has not endorsed Donald Trump to use her music at his rallies.
