Fri Aug 22, 2025, 05:24 PM
Aug 22

why did a "reporter" ask him if he was going to participate in the World Cup?

Because seriously, he's 79 years old, was never a professional athlete, and currently has the athletic prowess, physic, and coloring of a cantaloupe. Who are these reporters with their nonsensical, bullshit questions?

You have an opportunity to question the President. War? Plague? Epstein?

No.

"Good golly, sir, will you be thrilling us all with a display of your exquisite manliness by showing up those much less virile, so-called, professional athletes by winning the World Cup all by yourself?" (Little bit of drool falls from their trembling lip)

Maybe if they ask him irrelevant question, he will avoid answering it by accidentally saying something that is actually relevant to the topics you mentioned.



Ok, I don’t buy it either.

it was not what I thought it was. This is all so serious but I cannot help myself when I see that ugly, clownish, porky, fat man dressed in any way, but these other ways he says he looks good in just makes me wonder how on earth he cannot know how freakishly un good he looks in everything.

Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones believes that Trump is in a “health crisis” after examining the president’s ankles, adding that it looks as though he is about to “collapse.”

“It shows, and I get it, the fear that he’s getting sick – who knows what’s going on. His ankles are giant,” Jones said during an Infowars video released Wednesday ...
