Oh look at Trumph pretending to give a shit about his offspring when we all know he’s going to pretend he hardly knows them the second they flip on him.

[-] magnetosphere@kbin.social 41 points 1 year ago

Well, it’s not entirely fake. Instead of just wanting to fuck Ivanka, he’ll want to hate-fuck Ivanka.

He knows Ivanka well enough to know he wants to fuck her.

At last, orange grandpa managed to recall the best conservative line of defence: but what about kids?

[-] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 45 points 1 year ago

He’s crackin’ . . .

Additionally, however, the Financial Statements Values are Conservative (LOW!), Mar-a-Lago is worth MUCH MORE than $18,000,000

I'd bet 18 million he valued it as less than that on his taxes...

[-] Algaroth@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Yeah he's on trial for this exact thing. Baffling he would bring that up.

[-] Gregorech@lemmy.world 36 points 1 year ago

Doesn't this violate his gag order?

[-] FoundTheVegan@kbin.social 52 points 1 year ago

Don't worry. Hell be fined $1.37 for it.

It was about that time I noticed the judge was about 8 stories tall and a Crustacean from the Protozoic era.

No, the gag order for this case was only to get him to stop terrorizing the courtroom staff, like the judge's clerks. He was making up bizarre conspiracy theories about them. The judge left himself out of the order.

There's multiple gag orders in multiple cases though that are all a bit different, depending on how Trump has tried to undermine courtroom proceedings in each case. So it gets a little confusing.

[-] MisterD@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago

Actually no. He's not threatening his own kids...yet.

[-] IamSparticles@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 year ago

I can't keep track. Was there a gag order in place for this particular case?

[-] Gregorech@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

There is one, there was one. All I really know is he's not right.

[-] andrewta@lemmy.world 32 points 1 year ago

😭 leave my children alone! 😭

🤣🤣🤣🤣

(edit) Since people apparently have lost the ability to recognise the presence of subtext, let me spell it out. I'm certain that Trump is saying all of that out of concern not for his offsprings but for his own benefit, by trying to change the narrative from the facts of the case to the apparent harrassment of his children. I doubt he is capable of love, fatherly or otherwise.

(/edit)

You can't fault a man for protecting his children.

But I seriously doubt that sentient pile of spray-on tan has the emotional capacity to recognise its human-shaped wank-stains as its children beyond whatever publicity pity-points it can get out of them.

[-] andrewta@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Not sure why you are getting down voted

While the general "can't fault a man for protecting his children" is a milquetoast statement we can all agree with, it's obfuscating what really happened.

He wasn't chasing away a coyote with a pointed stick: the dude posted a bizarre attack (name-calling, non sequiturs, claims of fraud) on attorneys and the judge for what appears to be a legitimate inquiry.

[-] rtxn@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Did you happen to completely miss the second part of the comment?

No, I just didn't think the second part negated the first part. I read it as the defense being to some degree legitimate, but that he was doing so out of self-interest. I was trying to underscore how absurd his so-called defense was.

In other words, my apologies! I didn't intend for my attempt at an explanation as criticism of you, or start some pointless quibbling internet argument (because I imagine we're all tired of those). Take care out there.

[-] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I've noticed that the "anything other than complete opposition and full condemnation of everything they say and are associated with = support" mindset is present here, too.

[-] TurboDiesel@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago

Holy shit, maybe someone should tell him to lay off the amphetamines... I can barely understand that word salad.

[-] jballs@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 year ago

He posted that at 2:30 in the morning, following a post that he made the day before at 4:30. That doesn't sound like the hours a normal, healthy person keeps.

[-] kent_eh@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 year ago

There's not much about him that is normal or healthy.

[-] coffee_poops@sh.itjust.works 18 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yep. Just keep violating that gag order, Don.
