The cold, wet, icy day Trump walked down the ramp.

[edhopper]

"Now when I made the best speech I've ever made, they said it was at West Point. And it was pouring and I had a ramp that was an iceskating rink," Trump claimed.
"So I walked gingerly down — that was on every newscast in the world and I never went down," Trump said, despite there should have been no danger of him falling while walking down the ramp. "I never went down, either, I never went on my ass, I'll tell you, I wasn't going to fall."

"I think that was a boobytrap," Trump said.

"I'll never forget that ramp, that was like a sheet of ice. It was cold, rainy and that ramp was long and steep,"

[North Shore Chicago]

1. Boobytrap

for the worlds biggest boob.

[Blue Owl]

49. A hulking boob if there ever was one

[North Shore Chicago]

52. Uh-huh

A size F u cup.

[Harker]

2. What about the missing strawberries? n/t

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

40. According to Alex Jones:

"this crime was part of a global liberal conspiracy to undermine capitalism and illegally take from the rich (high ranking naval officers) and give to the poor (low ranking enlisted mess personnel).
The identity of these thieves has been a closely guarded secret which is known only to those in the Deep State and contained in Hillary Clinton's e-mails. The effort to cover up exposing this information has been continuously funded by George Soros and has also been aided by many in Hollywood and the music industry. Proof of this is the fact that many of them are left-wing liberals who support people like Barack Obama and Bernie Sanders and dislike hard-working self-made people like Donald Trump.
However, the good news is that this case is about to cracked wide open and the answer lies in the current election audit going on in Arizona! Did you know that California produces the vast majority of our nation's strawberries? Well, Arizona borders California! The same machinery that will find telltale evidence of bamboo in the illegally cast ballots for Biden can also detect traces of DNA unique to strawberries. So we will find out the answers to this question, it is just a matter of time!"

[Harker]

47. You're a treasure, Professor.

I'll be patient.

Time flies like an arrow.

Fruit flies like a banana.

[Blue Owl]

50. I commend you for your bravery

To find that quote in the tall reeds of insanity, and post it here for our viewing astonishment!

[tanyev]

3. I'd completely forgotten about his hesitant ramp walk.

But, hey, if he wants to remind everyone, go right ahead.

[Harker]

6. Lying about it is a slippery slope. n/t

[tanyev]

21. *snort*

[FakeNoose]

48. I thought Chump was holding onto the cadet, but I can't see it on this video

His steps were definitely tentative, he almost lost his balance. And there's NO ICE!

[A HERETIC I AM]

51. That was no Cadet

That was the academy’s superintendent, Lt. Gen. Darryl A. Williams.

[MiHale]

4. If I didn't despise him with the same heat as hell's eternal flames...

I may of felt sorry for him.

[Pinback]

5. Obviously a recurrence of the bone spurs.

They flare up whenever he’s around military people. Usually the generals are crying so much as they pledge fealty to “Sir” that nobody notices.

[Haggard Celine]

7. I've wondered before whether he really believes what he says

or if he knows he's lying. I think he has the ability to make himself believe things that he originally thought were untrue; he talks himself into believing the lies he tells. I've never seen anyone who can so effortlessly and so consistently lie about everything.

[edhopper]

8. Remeber

[Haggard Celine]

10. Lol!

Thanks for reminding me of that. Seinfeld is one of my favorite shows ever. George was so sick that you had to laugh at him. We had George for a President for the last 4 years.

[TimeToGo]

18. George wasn't evil

Just a bit morally iffy

[paleotn]

19. Ugh. George Costanza....

Few fictional characters have annoyed me more. I agree with his old high school PE teacher....can'tstandzya!

[Submariner]

23. Yeah...but without George, we would have missed the best part of the show

when Estelle Costanza started yelling.

[subterranean]

35. "The sky was angry that day, my friends."

"It was cold, rainy and that ramp was long and steep. I tell you, it was 10 miles long if it was a foot! But I pressed on..."

[SammyWinstonJack]

9. Wonder who is trying to convince, himself or anyone else.

Either or, he's a horrendous liar and a huge attention seeker.

[Totally Tunsie]

22. He apparently forgets that there are always...

photos.

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

41. "But that is fake news and the photo was obviously doctored!"

Trump has a BS answer or lie for everything.

[JHB]

34. I'm in that camp. Cover stories he initially tosses out to BS, distract, and deflect...

...become fixed in his mind as how it "really" happened through repetition, with reinforcement from his circle of sycophants. And since he never, ever lets a perceived slight go, he will always revisit and reinforce that BS version in his add(erol)led mind.

[mountain grammy]

11. The level of stupidity (and hate) that buys into this drivel

will be the end of us all.

[Duppers]

37. +100

Yet, I'm hoping not.

[world wide wally]

12. And mentally challenged MAGAts will believe that too

[struggle4progress]

13. What is so icy as a day in June?

[NCDem47]

14. The mockery on that episdoe must have scared him deeeeeeep.

Why? Why would he bring that up over a year later?

[greenjar_01]

15. It's completely unbeleivable that he's still on about this

Literally nobody cares. Most people have forgotten the whole episode. The pathological egotism on this question is truly incredible.

[panader0]

16. He forced all the cadets to return to West Point for his speech.

Covid was raging at the time.

[RVN VET71]

25. If it had actually been cold, rainy, and icy Fatso would not have been there

He showed the depth of his care for the cadets by calling them all back to West Point during the height of a killing plague so they could provide the background for one of his screeds.

And he knows he was mocked for struggling and shuffle-footing down the ramp and, for reasons known only to Fatso himself, chose to revisit the day and billing it as cold and dangerously slippery.

[nuxvomica]

17. His mother's osteoporosis is probably behind this phobia

Her probably remembers the many times she fell and had to be hospitalized for her fractures so he has a phobia of stairs and ramps and probably walking on hard surfaces in general.

[paleotn]

20. It doesn't matter what he says....

How nutty or patently false, it doesn't matter. As long as he hates brown people, educated people, decent people, etc. as a means of compensating for his failed, miserable life, he'll have followers. Because they compensate similarly for their failed, miserable lives. He's one of them.

[Duppers]

38. Well said! 👍

[William Seger]

24. It must be much colder on Planet Trump

[pandr32]

26. He lies about everything--that's how he does any job

...and we paid him a salary and gave him access to our bounty.

Did he ever tell the truth about anything?

[Martin Eden]

27. Why does he voluntarily bring this up?

Probably because his ego is enormously huge and terribly fragile.

I'm becoming more convinced this con man actually believes his own blatant lies. He is delusional.

[JHB]

36. Huge, terribly fragile, and whiny as all hell

"The press is soooo mean to me, lies about me. It invented something to report badly about me. Poor little me."

(As if "inventing something to report" wasn't a prime M.O. of FOX News)

Yeah, I think when he gets angry, pouty, and defensive (and it doesn't cost him anything), he fixes his bullshit excuses in his mind as the "real" course of events just from sheer repetition of his thoughts as he seethes.

[lunatica]

45. Because it still stings

And because he’s airing every slight he’s ever felt. In his mind he’s so important that even the weather conspires against him.

[George II]

28. I looked it up last night after I heard what he said. On June 12 last year it was 83 degrees, and...

...overnight the low was 53. At the time of the speech it was 73 degrees and there hadn't been any clouds, much less precipitation, for days.

Amazing that one can see shadows when it's pouring!

[dalton99a]

29. It was horrible

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

42. Having to listen to Trump's combination of word salad, lies and mangling of the language

should result in these poor cadets receiving hazardous duty pay.

[greatauntoftriplets]

30. Looks like it was pouring sunshine to me.

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

43. good one!

[Shrike47]

31. Per WeatherUnderground, the high was 73 degrees that day in West Point. No rain, etc.

But it was a COLD 73, dammit!

[llmart]

33. It was also icy and snowing (indoors) when he had to use two hands to drink his sippy cup of water.

[Tommymac]

39. Can't he just stroke out and die? Pretty Please?

I'm an atheist, but damn if I won't send a prayer if anyone can tell me where to send it.

[BobTheSubgenius]

44. If that ramp was a roof, it would be no more than a 6/12 pitch.

My roof is 8/12, and I've walked it many times. I do it very carefully, not because it's so difficult to traverse, but because a misstep isn't an embarrassing stumble on a ramp, but more like plummeting onto a patio in the back, or a porch or walkway on the front.

Taking toddler steps down that ramp seemed ridiculous, but he was such a great target for ridicule.

[Blue Owl]

46. Keep letting it upset you, Donny, until you stroke out
