Mmm yes, let’s kick one of the last honest politicians in existence while he’s down. That’ll soften your horrific image, big boy.

What’s wonderful is that the next few days are going to be full of coverage of the scandal-free Carter presidency, Carter marriage, and Carter family.

Unfortunately, I expect it to be full of coverage of Trump shitting all over Carter's presidency, marriage, and family. Trump has never passed up the opportunity to get one last kick in on someone who's literally on their death bed.

She passed away this afternoon :/

Trump makes cavemen look highly civilized.

[–] Nougat@kbin.social 2 points 11 months ago

"Cavemen" had respect for the dead.

It's a party of hatred. When he got elected after mocking that camera man for having a disability, it should have been clear for everyone what the republican party stood for.

[–] Trigger2_2000@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

As the parent of a special needs child I was completely aghast about that. Doesn't even make sense because they want people to "pull their own weight" (which is just what that person was doing)!

[–] Cassus@lemm.ee 2 points 9 months ago

It doesn't need to make sense. They only have hatred and anger.

I mean, it wasn't about his wife. Trump probably didn't even know she died. Besides, he was making fun of Biden in that quote, not Carter, and certainly not Carter's wife.

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

He's making fun of both of them. Basically saying that Carter was shit but he looks great compared to biden.

[–] Thief_of_Crows@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago

Okay. I don't see what's wrong with that. I find it hard to believe trump targeted him because of his wife's condition, and I don't see why having a sick wife should make you not valid for your regularly scheduled trump insults.

[–] Jaysyn@kbin.social 0 points 11 months ago

I'm going to read Trump's obituary with champagne.

[–] blindbunny@lemmy.ml -1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Donny's just sad he'd never be able to get someone to spend 77 years with him.

Where's Melania?

[–] AbidanYre@lemmy.world 0 points 11 months ago (2 children)

77 years is a lot of mooches.

Also, I think you mean Melanie

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

A micromooch is known as a stormy and it's based on how long he lasted inside her.

[–] blindbunny@lemmy.ml -1 points 11 months ago

Please don't make your follow lemmings sick.

[–] blindbunny@lemmy.ml -1 points 11 months ago

I can't believe I forgot about this

[–] Uniquitous@lemmy.one 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Trying to get the pool boy to notice her.

[–] blindbunny@lemmy.ml -1 points 11 months ago

This is probably the best answer
