When he was still in office, there were reports that failed, one-term, twice-impeached former President Donald Trump had ice cream at the end of just about every meal and that he insisted on two scoops to the one that others received.
For example: Trump takes two scoops of ice cream with his chocolate cream pie, TIME reported, while everyone else around the table gets just one.
Now, five years later, it appears that the already obese Trump can’t keep his hands off the ice cream.
A photo circulating on social media shows the ex-president at his Mar-a-Lago golf resort in Palm Beach, Florida, where the Donald has been living since he lost the 2020 election badly to President Joe Biden.
Be sure and note that Trump already has two ice cream bars of some sort in his left hand while the little girl appears to have none.
That hand and arm also look mighty flabby, don’t they? Is it possible he’s put on even more weight since he left office? You know what they say: The picture doesn’t like.
Twitter quickly exploded with uproarious laughter.
Zero chance he didn’t cut in line

So he’s got 2 in his left hand and he’s going for a handful in his right hand. It sounds like he owns the ice cream and is charging his campaign fund for them. 😁
If this were any other person I would assume he was helping the little ones get their favorite ice cream. In this case that assumption cannot be made. Also would have assumed he was buying…but not in this case.

"Mom, the old fat smelly guy pushed me away so he can get his tenth klondike bar."
Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) loves childing and trolling others, but she wound up being the butt of the joke over when she debated her GOP primary opponent and found herself being mocked and ridiculed by members of the audience.
Boebert is being opposed by State Sen. Don Coram, whom she accused of being an “illegal drug dealer” and seller of “hot hemp.” However, she neglected to mention that Colorado legalized the possession and sale of marijuana back in 2012.
When the audience began to laugh at Boebert, she got incredibly defensive, according toThe Denver Post:
As the debate moved forward the crowd devolved into booing some comments from the candidates and laughing at others. At one point Boebert joined the moderator in calling for “order” and Coram laughed and said “this is fun.”
The two accused each other of corruption. Boebert said her opponent used the legislative process to line his own pockets, to which he suggested she bring any facts she might have forward in court.
In return, Coram noted that Boebert’s husband took in hundreds of thousands of dollars working as a consultant for an energy firm, a fact she didn’t disclose during her initial campaign.

Boebert loves being a bully, but she loses her shit when someone dares to point out facts about her own shady past. For example:
(Boebert) who often espouses a pro-police, law-and-order message on the campaign trail — has been arrested and summonsed at least four times over the past decade, records show.
Twitter also had fun with Boebert’s actions during the debate.
I love how she demands "order!" from people laughing, while she and Marj tried to scream down the State of the Union speech.
When he went to meet with President Joe Biden, who was in Texas to meet with the relatives of those who lost loved ones in the Uvalde school shooting on Sunday, it quickly became clear that Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) is not exactly very popular in his home state at the moment.
Abbott, who has refused to discuss new gun laws in the Lone Star State despite the horrific shooting at Robb Elementary school that left 19 children and two of their teachers dead, was roundly booed and jeered by crowds who had gathered to see President Biden’s arrival.
Abbott is facing an uncertain bid for reelection in November, when he will face Democratic nominee Beto O’Rourke. Texas hasn’t had a Democratic governor since Ann Richards won in 1991.
According to the always mentally unstable Donald Trump Jr., the real reason the United States is experiencing so many mass shootings at schools is because the teachers are “crazy.”
Also, Junior asserted, the Uvalde shooter could just have easily killed 21 people with a “bat.”
“It’s the gun, it’s not the sociopath wielding it, folks. If it wasn’t for the gun, this kid would be a well-adjusted, reasonable individual, he’d be a wonderful human being, right?
“He wouldn’t have done the exact same thing with a bat or a bomb or some sort of improvised device or a machete, he’s a great kid, don’t judge him.”
And then came the attack on teachers, two of whom lost their lives in the shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas on Tuesday:
“We can’t acknowledge what the actual causes are, it’s not a drug-addict mother and a missing father and a lack of religion, indoctrination programs in our schools, crazy teachers teaching some of the crap I’ve talking about in these videos. It’s none of those things. It never ends man.
“Our own stupidity, apathy, wokeness, laziness, that’s the problem, folks, and until we fix that, the rest is just talk and crap.”
Junior went on a wild rant about Uvalde tonight, saying the AR-15 isn’t the issue because he could’ve done the “exact same thing” with a bat, bomb or machete. He says gun owners are unfairly “stigmatatized,” and the real problem is that “crazy teachers” are indoctrinating kids. pic.twitter.com/2Rmme3510A
Don Jr. ended his deranged rant by claiming that “no one can admit somebody is actually a piece of garbage and screwed up.”
Does that include you, Junior? Because you certainly qualify as garbage and the look of intoxication in your eyes suggests you’re screwed up beyond repair. And yet we should let a loser with borderline personality disorder like you legally own a gun? Seems like a bad idea.
Teachers are not the problem. Neither are the vast majority of the students. The problem is that it’s easier in this country to buy an AR-15 than it is for a kid to get a driver’s license. Oh, and you have to take a test to earn the right to drive. Isn’t it about time we had the same requirements for owning weapons of mass murder?
CNN host Jim Acosta wasn’t buying the BS being peddled by a National Rifle Association (NRA) board member who tried to offer the worthless notion of thoughts and prayers for children who have been killed in mass shootings such as the one that took place Tuesday at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas.
Judge Phillip Journey of the 18th Judicial District Court in Kansas serves on the board of the NRA, which held its convention in Houston despite the horror that took place last Tuesday in the Lone Star State. He told Acosta that his court handles family law, and for children that feel terrified, “we all pray for you — lift you up in prayer, that we want to hope that you get through this without the consequences that we see so often in victims of domestic crime.”
That led Acosta to ask:
“Can they bring an AR-15 in your courtroom?”
Judge Journey admitted that guns aren’t allowed in his courtroom, adding that they aren’t allowed in schools, either, which led Acosta to retort:
“Well, people don’t seem to have much trouble if they want to unleash that kind of destruction to do just that. NRA supporters like yourself keep saying that the answer to all of this is good guys with guns. The 19 good guys with guns failed in Uvalde. The cops were there in the school. There was a resource officer that was apparently MIA and none of that helped.”
Journey suggested law enforcement might be to blame in Uvalde, to which Acosta noted:
“With these mass shootings, it keeps coming back to the AR-15 and similar models. Why do people need an AR-15 anyway?”
Journey was silent for a few seconds that seemed to last an eternity, finally responding:
“You know, it’s just a semiautomatic rifle. If you want to be prejudiced about the way it looks. I was aware of what happened in the ’94 semiautomatic firearms ban and there were rifles of similar function that just didn’t look as ugly. They weren’t black guns like a Ruger mini 14 and the Ruger mini 14 was appropriate and the other was not.”
Acosta countered:
“I do want to ask you about the assault weapons ban. How is it an 18-year-old can buy an AR-15 style rifle and have 16 rounds of ammo like we saw with him in Uvalde?”
The judge replied:
“Well, he did not have any prior convictions. He didn’t have any prior issues that would have kept him from purchasing one. It’s my understanding from the news that he purchased it through a firearms dealer, and passed the background check. He didn’t have any prior convictions.”
The host then asked:
“Right, but should an 18-year-old have an AR-15? What’s he going to do with it?”
The judge attempted to use a favorite line for those who think there should be no restrictions whatsoever on the right to own whatever gun a person wants:
“Should an 18-year-old have one in the Army?”
But Acosta was more than ready for that assertion, telling Journey:
“They have military training in the army. The 18-year-old in Uvalde did not. He turned 18 and he went out and bought an AR-15.”
Journey wandered off and began talking about mental health being the real issue, only to have Acosta note that there are mentally ill people all over the world, but only the United States has so many mass shootings, to which the judge weakly countered:
“There have been several other mass shootings all over the world.”
But Acosta shut the judge down cold:
“Not to the level that we have in the United States, come on.”
The NRA and the gun lobby have no answers, only excuses. Sensible gun reform is desperately needed in this country. How many more children have to die in hail of gunfire before something is done?
