Former President Donald Trump is staying away from the September 18 Washington, DC, rally in support of Capitol riot suspects because he thinks its a set-up to damage his reputation, sources told The New York Times.
Trump has in the past spoken in support of his fans who attacked the US Capitol on January 6 in a bid to stop Joe Biden's certification as president.
But sources told The Times that he won't be going anywhere near Washington on Saturday, and will instead spend the day at his golf resort in Bedminster, New Jersey.
"Mr. Trump views the planned protest as a setup that the news media will use against him regardless of the outcome," the Times reported, citing people familiar with his thinking.

(997 posts)I am all for mocking Trump.and his doughy out of shape body but the first picture is of John Daly. Notice the cigarette dangling from his mouth and the shoulder turn. Trump doesn't smoke and there is no way he could ever generate that kind of shoulder turn.

(18,903 posts)There's absolutely no way in hell Asshole45 is flexible enough that his backswing is so far past parallel. It looks sort of like John Daly, with a cigarette hanging out of his mouth. The stomach has been photoshopped.
The second picture is definitely him.

(2,114 posts)He does it all (Vanity. Paranoia. Stupidity.) more bigly than anyone, and then he adds overdoses of greed, deceit, and malice.
He's THE role model for a whole generation of squirmy little Republican rug rats. They are growing up thinking those "values" are the way to be.
Sick. Sick and sad.

And since when did the Slobfather need anyone else to make himself look bad?

(1,553 posts)there is too much attention given to this insignificant pig. He is a loser, knows he is a loser, and cannot admit it due to his own ego. The MSM give him waaaay too much credit for being who he is, a narcissistic xenophobe. If it doesn't pertain to him, he wants nothing to do with it. He created the mess we're in and Joe will get us out of it. The Dems need to surpass the Repugs in the Senate, tie all the bills together and yell fuck you to those who don't agree with the passage of legislation that has been needed for many years.
So, in closing, Trump is an insignificant pig and we should all feel free to state this to those relatives and neighbors of ours that think he is wonderful.

(69,806 posts)lets hope they pay a call.
SergeStorms
(18,903 posts)everytime they call them "his" golf courses. He doesn't own any of them. Banks and Russian oligarchs own them, and he has a HUGE balloon payment due at the end of next year. Hence his non-stop grifting from his cult and trying to unload the hotel he leases in Washington.

Yeah, you think that after January 6 the folks who formally took over the place two weeks later are going to just sit back and watch the mayhem unfold like the former guy did? Not a chance. The mule-headed idiots who converge on Saturday are going to find out that elections do matter, and that right quick if any of them step out of line. I predict that law enforcement will let them march around braying like jackasses, but at the first sign of property damage or picking on people, they'll come down like the hammer of Thor.

(70,291 posts)... Trump supporters who are in jail because they broke the law and the media is doing all of this
in order to make Trump look bad? Meanwhile Trump will blow off some of his most loyal supporters
by acting like he doesn't know them now.
Good God in Butter this really is fucking nuts.
