Stupid Trump stuff

Donald Trump’s presidential campaign early Sunday left a birdcage and bird food in front of GOP presidential hopeful Nikki Haley’s hotel room door in Des Moines in reference to his new nickname for her, “Birdbrain,” The Messenger reports.

In a bid to secure Iowa, former U.S. President Donald Trump promised a cheering Iowa rally that he'll allow gasoline engines if re-elected in 2024 but will ban 'child sexual mutilation.' 'Under a Trump Administration, gasoline-fired engines will be allowed — but child sexual mutilation will be banned, if that's OK with you,' he said to the crowd.

In an excerpt from his new book on Sam Bankman Fried, Michael Lewis has an anecdote about the crypto billionaire’s political maneuverings in summer 2022: “As the plane descended into Washington, he was exploring the legality of paying Donald Trump himself not to run for president. His team had somehow created a back channel into the Trump operation and returned with the not terribly Earth-shattering news that Donald Trump might indeed have his price: $5 billion. Or so Sam was told by his team.”

 “Donald Trump on Sunday told a campaign rally in Iowa that he would prefer to die by electrocution rather than be eaten by a shark if he ever found himself on a rapidly sinking, electrically powered boat,” The Guardian reports. Said Trump: “If I’m sitting down and that boat is going down and I’m on top of a battery and the water starts flooding in, I’m getting concerned, but then I look 10 yards to my left and there’s a shark over there, so I have a choice of electrocution and a shark, you know what I’m going to take? Electrocution.” He added: “I will take electrocution every single time, do we agree?”
