Trump: "An old fashioned term that we use -- groceries.... It says a bag with different things in it."



Aaron Rupar post with video on Bluesky:

Trump: "An old fashioned term that we use -- groceries. I used it on the campaign. It's such an old fashioned term, but a beautiful term. Groceries. It says a bag with different things in it."

In MUCH earlier days he was able to make sense. Now he’s just tap-dancing because he feels like he simply MUST be in the news all the time. King of the headlines.

He’d undoubtedly prefer that to King of the headstones - which is about all I can even minimally come up with in response.

And none of his writers ever will, either.

HOWEVERRRRR… I would like to be around when his writers start having fun with his obituary.

It’ll happen. They’ll deny it and try to keep it hidden. But eventually, I bet, we’ll see some of the secret favorites.

Trump calls them "mouth money".

There's nothing more satisfying after a day of tweeting and deporting brown people than sitting down to a plate of deliciously prepared mouth money.
