As a nurse this bandage trump showed up with looks totally like it is for show only. I would bet real money, that no healthcare professional was near this bandage and it was probably a PR person who ~~sticked~~ stuck this on him.

I thought that too, it almost looks like a piece of telfa taped to his ear. I was hoping he'd have a glasscock dressing.

Can't wait to see some daring journalist ask Trump in a filmed interview to see the scar. I assume Trump will classify that under the "that's too personal" category of lies he doesn't want to defend.

Oh no! You exposed me as a non native English speaker. What will I do now?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Don't worry plenty of native speakers would have written the same thing :P

Hopefully, you'll know that "stuck" is the correct term? 🤷🏽‍♂️

What was that fairy tale where people disguised their faces to look ugly in order to avoid upsetting their monarch?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Sounds a little like the emporer's new clothes to me.

But are they doing it after shooting their ears with an AR-15* and my soon-to-be-sold commemorative 5.56mm Trump bullets (with tiny Trump fistbump engraving on the casing)? /s
