During his Thursday campaign rally in the Bronx, failed one-term, twice-impeached, and multiply-indicted ex-president Donald Trump once again did something he does very poorly.
He danced.
However, based on the video of the alleged “dancing,” it’d be more accurate to refer to Trump’s moves as his latest public humiliation.
Here’s the video of Donnie busting a move on Thursday:
Dear God, please make it stop! Doesn’t this fool realize how ridiculous he looks? Is he deliberately trying to simulate what Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) enjoys doing publicly with her latest boyfriend? If so, mission accomplished.
Now please give me a way to erase the image from my memory.
Fortunately, Donnie’s bad dancing did spawn plenty of mockery on social media.
The 2024 Donald Trump campaign posted a video ad on social media Monday that promises the “creation of a unified Reich” if he wins the 2024 presidential election in November.
According to HuffPost, “The 30-second clip imagined newspaper articles reporting on a ‘landslide’ Trump 2024 election win. One referred to ‘the creation of a unified Reich’ under the headline of ‘What’s Next For America?'”
The word “Reich” is a clear a reference to the Third Reich, which was proclaimed by German dictator Adolf Hitler in 1933 and led to the horrors of World War II and the Holocaust.
Shortly after the video was posted on Trump’s Truth Social site, the Biden campaign pointed out that the former president was unmistakably harkening back to Nazi Germany.

Other parts of the ad featured placeholder text about “the European great powers” and the digging of trenches next to headlines such as, “Border is closed. 15 million illegal aliens deported,” and “Peace through strength.”
The Trump campaign immediately shifted into damage control mode, with campaign spokesperson Karoline Leavitt insisting it was “not a campaign video” and had instead been “created by a random account” and “reposted by a staffer who clearly did not see the word.”
Trump himself has used Nazi-like rhetoric before, claiming that immigrants are “poisoning the blood of our country” and hosting Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida.
It should come as no surprise to anyone who has been paying attention that Trump and his supporters are bringing up the Third Reich, which was predicated on the belief that only “pure” Aryan blood was acceptable in Germany. Such rhetoric eventually led to the deaths of 11 million innocent people who were executed by Hitler’s henchmen.
There are new concerns this morning that former president Donald Trump may be mentally impaired and getting worse by the day after remarks he made Saturday at the National Rifle Association convention in Dallas, Texas.
Specifically, Trump stopped talking near the end of his speech for nearly two minutes.
The disgraced ex-president lavished praise on the Lone Star State, telling attendees, “You have a great governor, you have a great lieutenant governor. You have incredible congress people you have just fantastic people. The Texas spirit of proud independence was forged by cowboys and cattle hands, ranchers and rangers, oil workers, soldiers, and brave, brave, brave, pioneers. Many came here with nothing but the boots on their feet, the clothes on their back, and a gun…”
“Come and take it,” Trump added, referencing a phrase popular among pro-Second Amendment extremists.
“Come and take it. Together they helped make America into the single greatest nation in the history of the world.”
And then…nothing. Just music and no words.
When he finally began speaking again, Trump said, “But now we are a nation in decline. We are a failing nation. We are a nation that has the highest inflation in 58 years. Our banks are collapsing, and interest rates are skyrocketing.”

As the video began circulating on social media, many people noted that Trump may not make it to November while his supporters insisted he had just paused for “dramatic effect.”
It looks like he had a TIA (brief stroke-like attack that causes paralysis in face and slurred speech), His face had a distortion which I've never seen before with him.
Oh my freaking word!!!! Trump totally blacks out for a beautiful 2 minutes. It’s so bizarre set to weird cult music. You have no idea. He’s losing it! He’s at the NRA convention saying he will roll back every gun safety Law @JoeBiden put in place.
Donald keeps saying that President Joe Biden should be drug tested before they debate for the first time on June 27. But perhaps Trump should have a full physical workup before he’s allowed to continue his campaign.
Determined to prove that she’s the cultiest of Trump cult members, Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) happily declared yesterday that if indeed former president Donald Trump is falling asleep during his hush money/election fraud trial in Manhattan, it’s perfectly fine because the disgraced ex-head of state looks “pretty” when he does so.
According to HuffPost, Boebert’s remarks came in response to mockery from a Democratic congressman.
“I think he’s praying,” she said after Rep. Robert Garcia (D-Calif.) detailed all the times Trump is said to have dozed in court. “But if he is sleeping, y’know, he certainly looks pretty while he sleeps. Maybe it’s an endearing moment of prayer, though.”

Boebert also tried to defend Trump’s inability to stay awake by claiming that the same thing happens to her.
“I know when I fall asleep on airplanes my mouth kinda drops open. And y’know his mouth is kinda tight-lipped, so maybe it’s just a somber moment of thought.”

The word “pretty” has never and should never be applied to anyone with an appearance as clownish and downright disgusting as Donald Trump. The man looks like a Halloween pumpkin that was left out in the heat for several days and then topped with some rotting straw discovered in a cow pasture.
As you’d expect, social media had lots of fun with Boebert’s remarks.
It's crazy she doesn't find this embarrassing at all.
Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) got called out and corrected this morning when he suggested on ABC News that rioters who attacked the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, merely “wandered” into the building.
This Week host Jonathan Karl reminded Cotton of a statement he made following the riot regarding Donald Trump’s role in that horrific day: “It’s past time for the president to accept the results of the election, quit misleading the American people, and repudiate mob violence.”
“More than three years later, Trump has still not accepted the results,” Karl told the senator. “He is still misleading the American people.”
Cotton incorrectly replied that Trump had accepted the results of the 2020 election “that very day.”
“He still hasn’t accepted the results of the election,” Karl countered. “He’s also calling the people that attacked the Capitol hostages. And he’s suggesting that he would, may pardon all of them. I mean, I assume you don’t agree with that.”
“He said that he would consider pardons, and some of them probably…” Cotton sputtered.
Karl interjected, “And he called them hostages. So you agree these are hostages?”
“Some of them have been held in pre-trial detention longer than the sentences for the crimes with which they are charged,” Cotton insisted. “For people who just wandered into the Capitol, they thought it was open or was on the grounds.”
That’s when Karl slapped Cotton with a timely fact-check.
“I mean, that wasn’t like wandering. This wasn’t a tourist visit.”
Rather than address that point, Cotton whined the Justice Department had failed to prosecute “left-wing street militia threatening to assassinate Supreme Court justices.”
“People who were involved in that riot, who assaulted police officers, or who defaced and damaged public property should face the legal consequences,” he added.
“Isn’t it odd that the Republican nominee doesn’t agree with that?” Karl wondered.
“What shouldn’t be used is every grandma who had a red MAGA hat that was within a country mile of the Capitol on January 6th shouldn’t be sitting in pre-trial detention for a longer time than the crimes for which they might face a sentence,” Cotton whined.
Like nearly every member of the GOP since Donald Trump took complete control of their failing political party, Tom Cotton has become little more than a hypocritical shill who cannot criticize the failed ex-president, even when he incites an insurrection. Is it any wonder why so many Americans are sick and tired of Republicans and their bullshit?
