They had to build under nets. It was one of the true great wonders of the world. As he said, ‘One of the nine wonders of the world.’ No, no, it was one of the seven. It just happened a little while ago. You know, he says, ‘Nine wonders of the world.’ You could make nine wonders. He would’ve been better off if he stuck with the nine and just said, ‘Yeah, I think it’s nine.’”*

We used to have Cary Grant and Clark Gable and all these people. Today we have — I won’t say names because I don’t need enemies. I don’t need enemies. I got enough enemies. But Cary Grant was like, Michael Jackson once told me, ‘The most handsome man, Trump, in the world.’ Who? ‘Cary Grant.’ Well, we don’t have that anymore. But Cary Grant at 81 or 82 — going on 100, this guy, he’s 81 going on 100 — Cary Grant wouldn’t look too good in a bathing suit either, and he was pretty good-looking, right?”*

  2. I think it could have been:

    “Face it: Donald Trump, at 74, has lost his grip.”

    or:

    “Face it: Donald Trump, at 70, has lost his grip.”

    A lot of trumpies don’t want to admit it but ever since he got shot he hasn’t had it and I say that a center right guy the debate last week proved his running mate is way better and I think Trump should personally just step down

    Seems fairly clear that the plan is to get Trump elected with The maga support and then use the 25th Amendment to get him out of there, then install Vance as the president and implementation of project 2025, I think everybody sees this now, well except maybe Trump. Although some are saying Trump is in on the plan as it’s his best chance for a pardon.

  5. No! Trump is infallible! Have you people not seen the pictures of him rescuing flood victims?

    He never had a grip! He has always been an insane narcissist, like many in his family.

    So tired of the Media pretending Every Day this is New shit.

    You would think one of his Bible thumping friends would tell him he is going to hell for all his dirty deeds.

    Did he ever have “a grip”? Honestly, I remember making fun of him back in the 80s for being an entitled rich twat out of touch with reality.

  9. Maybe this is an act to get him out of prison. His lawyer: “Your honor, my client, it’s obvious from his campaigning and speeches that he does not know what he was doing when he took the top secret files home after his stolen election”…
