Trump Wanted to Leave Hospital in Superman Shirt
October 3, 2022 at 10:27 am EDT By Taegan Goddard


Axios has this excerpt from Maggie Haberman’s new book, Confidence Man, as Donald Trump was about to be discharged from the hospital after having Covid:

“He came up with a plan he told associates was inspired by the singer James Brown, whom he loved watching toss off his cape while onstage, but it was in line with his love of professional wrestling as well.”

“He would be wheeled out of Walter Reed in a chair and, once outdoors, he would dramatically stand up, then open his button-down dress shirt to reveal a Superman logo beneath it. (Trump was so serious about it that he called the campaign headquarters to instruct an aide, Max Miller, to procure the Superman shirts; Miller was sent to a Virginia big-box store.)”

Seriously, Garrison's cartoons have to be seen to be believed. I originally thought they were parodies, and I know that I wasn't the only one who did.

I'm almost sorry he was talked out of it - it would have been comedy gold.

Needy Amin, the bride at every wedding, the diva at every opera, and the corpse at every funeral. Has to be the center of attention at all times.
