    I’m not one to defend this orange man baby, however there is no way this image can be real. I don’t even think it’s AI, looks like good old fashioned photoshop.

          It was a stunt to try to remind people that he pushed for no taxes on tips, which was a part of both his and Harris’ platforms.

          Since inflation is again going up and particularly gas prices are up and he has nearly zero good news, he has to try to milk his tip tax policy as much as he can.

      It’s real, but 1000% staged. No way secret service would have let an unvetted Doordash driver approach the front door of the White House, let alone meet the President in person. It’s a publicity stunt.

      Despite this, some people still believe it’s an organic moment, as if any Doordash driver would be comfortable just standing there as a political prop for two hours instead of running more deliveries.

      Lloyd Bridges had talent while being genuinely funny and entertaining.

      Trump is insane, whose incompetence at destroying the world is only - occasionally - entertaining but I never thought that the world might end because Lloyd Bridges sniffed some glue and fell out of a window.

    Doordash walking up to the oval office and trump taking delivery in person… Very plausible /s

    We see straight through this due to his bad acting inability to act and non existing sense of humor nor reality, Yet still he could not help himself …

    Trump quipped to Simmons sarcastically: “This doesn’t look staged.”

      What’s extra crazy is that when he asked her if she was a supporter, it wasn’t a resounding yes, she said “mmm…maybe”, lol

      It’d be hilarious if he weren’t president.

      Great satire.

      The problem is, it’s not satire and he is president.

          What would it take to get him an all -he-he-can-eat subscription to more burgers and fires?

    Full text of Melania Trump statement denying links to Epstein

    I have never had any knowledge of Epstein’s abuse of his victims. I was never involved in any capacity—I was not a participant, was never on Epstein’s plane, and never visited his private island.

    I have never been legally accused or convicted of a crime in connection with Epstein’s sex trafficking, abuse of minors, and other repulsive behavior.

      For context:

      Decades of photographic and testimonial evidence repudiate every word of her statement other that the technical fact that she has never been convicted of any crimes related to Jeffery Epstein… yet

      There are decades of videographer, photographic, textual, and testimonial evidence that she absolutely and without a doubt both know and was very close with Jeffrey Epstein _ for many, many years) before AND after meeting and marrying Trump. This is - and has long been established - in not only the Trump-Epstein Files, but in many other outside documentation.

      Melania was a widely-circulated whore for almost a decade before even being introduced to Trump. Just Trump’s type. And it’s been widely documented.

          Wasn’t she semi-nude in some of the pics already released? That would make her a sex worker, maybe? She probably was trafficked at a young age. She seems like she probably was a sex worker at the very least. Whore seems harsh for anyone.

            She was officially a model, so semi nude might still fit her work. Even full nude might be just art or legit money income 🤷

          the Epstein files.

          “whore” is, admittedly, and overstatement. “slutty” would have been a more appropriate word.

      Probably not, if he did he would definitely talk about, and just like most other companies they don’t mind him saying good things but do not want any real ties.

      IMO McDonald’s essentially endorsed him in 2024 when they remained silent on that stupid stunt he did at one of the franchises in Pennsylvania.

      I’m sure there’s gotta be some deals going on.

        I wish they’d come out and denounce him. You just know he’d have a tantrum and swear off McDonalds forever. But it would deprive him of something he truly enjoys in life, which he deserves, because he’s a cunt.

      Running around so much, I used to get a McChicken as a snack once every other week. But since that shamelessly staged video of him serving fries to 3 people I haven’t been back.

      I know I’m not hurting the billion dollar corporation, but I’ll sooner go a little hungry then give them a dime.
