Sorry for the shit source but sometimes the Daily Mail is best for American politics. Trump wasn’t in court so the American media didn’t care and it wasn’t paying him any attention.
‘Let’s talk about hot dogs. I just had one actually,’ Trump declared. ‘I just had a hot dog, it was very good.’
He segued into a story about how Frank Sinatra told him not to eat before a performance but he didn’t take that advice because he was a ‘politician,’ while his other friend, Italian opera singer Pavarotti, gave no such advice.
He’s back, folks
Libs are no fun.
if a parent of yours started blurting out sentences like this you’d call a doctor and take their drivers license away

It must hard times for the libs though.
Our geriatric brain farter is so much better than their geriatric brain farter.
Yeah but he ain’t my dad so it’s fucking funny!
Sometimes Trump quotes read like a Robin Williams bit to me and I can hear it in his voice. This is one of those quotes.
Edit- spelling. Fuck you again autocorrect.
Like the time I caught the ferry over to Shelbyville. I needed a new heel for my shoe, so, I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. Give me five bees for a quarter, you’d say. Now where were we? Oh yeah: the important thing was I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. They didn’t have white onions, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones.
Say what you will the MF can spin a yarn with the best of em.
Sinatra died in the 90s. Did Trump consider himself a politician then?
He talked a lot about running in 1987-1988, so sort of, yeah. He did the talk show circuit, and floated it on freaking Oprah.
I thought the first time he ran was in Clinton’s term, he didn’t make it past primary when he was on the Dem ballot I think?
I don’t think he ever made it on an actual ballot. Some doofus raised a bunch of funds to try to draft him into running, and even got him to do a sort of exploratory campaign stop in New Hampshire where he gave a speech to the Portsmouth rotary club:
https://archive.md/JSh7xTrump just sort of used all of this as publicity to push The Art of the Deal.
Ninja edit: The reason I remember his faux-candidacy in the first place was because in elementary school, my teacher asked the class if they knew anything about the upcoming presidential election – specifically, if we knew the names of anyone running for president. I raised my hand and blurted out Donald Trump, because I’d just heard something about it on the radio during the bus ride to school. I was promptly ridiculed by the teacher, who knew him only as “that guy who owns a casino or something,” and didn’t believe me when I insisted that I heard about it on the news during the ride to school. Said teacher was god-awful and fed us prunes as a “treat” from time to time.
Jesus, that’s not a nice teacher
Irl shitposter
Love him or hate him he’s spitting facts
Did he fucking mispronounce Pavarotti?
Probably, see “dementia.”
Thank you Mr President Sir
Idk how veracious it is, but I have also heard that Pavarotti ate all the time. Like, dude legit had pasta plates in the back as one of his contract riders to play somewhere.
