I'm very pleased to hear this, because I have absolutely zero respect for it myself as well.
Trump wouldn't know respect if it ripped a piece of his ear off as it whizzed by at 3000 feet per second.
It’s so weird watching corporate news fish around for an angle when there isn’t one yet.
Weird and wrong.
He may be a billionaire but he didn't have one cent of respect for anyone his entire life.
He was never an actual billionaire lol
Two days ago some insufferable clowns run around Lemmy acting like Trump was their man and “it’s the democrats who murder Palestinians”. Something something both sides, but republicans are better, not gonna vote, everyone is dumb, and so on. Pretty sure this won’t chance anything. The density was amazing actually.
Remember kids: If you go through life thinking everyone else is an idiot, it is you who’s the problem.
If you smell shit everywhere you go, check your shoes.
Trump described Obama as "disrespectful" in 2014 when he saluted marines with a latte in his hand.
Trump described Harris as "disrespectful" when Biden first picked her for his running mate in 2020.
Trump called Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson "disrespectful" in 2022 for her answers to GOP reps during her confirmation hearings.
Funny how he never seems to think white people are being disrespectful.
This is how I heard it, as well: "she doesn't know her place."
Middle East conflicts have always been very fine needles to thread, and this one is one of the finer ones. Harris' statement on her meeting with Netanyahu was excellent.
Note also that Harris is currently Vice President of the United States, and what she says reflects actual US government sentiments, while Trump is a twice impeached 78 year old convicted felon who spends his efforts thinking about whether he's more afraid of electricity or sharks.
Don't forget his weird obsession with windmills being the apex predator of birds.
And don't forget his obsession with flushing toilets.
What about the snake and the snake?
Trump ~~calls Kamala Harr~~is ~~statement on Gaza war~~ ‘disrespectful’
tl;dr - Trump
Jesus Christ, look at that thumbnail pic.
He's so fucking old.
He should drop out of the race.
Don't you think he looks tired?
Low-energy. SAD!
And lost.
He's the oldest official Presidential Nominee EVER!!!
#MAGA
Make America Geriatric Again??
Make America Geriatric Again??
MAGA wonders why you think they're German.
Trump’s out giving lessons on how to be respectful 😄
The only thing that convicted rapist knows how to do is attack people.
Even Putin was embarrassed. Heck, even the U.S. press was uncomfortable.
He gave Putin a blowjob, live on the world stage, in Helsinki.
So, he knows diplomacy.
Di-blow-macy.
