“I don’t know if I would have done it. Unless nobody was around, then I’d give you a yacht ride to my friends island.”
Then left you in the same situation afterwards.
But only worse.
To give some modicum of credit: I think this was his attempt at talking the lifeguard up. Like: “Wow, you’re such a hero!”
But the problem is that the exclamation (regardless of truth) is supposed to be like: “Wow, I don’t know if I would’ve been brave enough to do that! You’re a real hero.” Not that you just “might not have” as though saving a human life would be too inconvenient.
Then the 16-year-old kid gets to feel really brave because even the president thinks they are. (Also doesn’t help that this current POTUS is an abject, selfish coward.)
I agree. This is how he meant it and how anyone who likes him takes it. It makes him likeable to those people. It’s so childish to pretend it isn’t.
These types of “news” articles I think are actually quite dangerous. It shifts the battleground into weaker territory. If you’re a prosecutor trying to prove a guy needs a life sentence, and you have thirty testimonies of him beating puppies with hammers, why would you pull up to court saying shit like “your honor, the defendant’s cologne is too sharp and clearly in poor taste”? Meanwhile everyone who justifiably hates the puppy-flattener is excited to jump on ANY bandwagon to hate the guy, no matter how flimsy it is. Next thing you know the court is all talking about his cologne. Then the defendant comes in with some actually good explanation for that like “they didn’t have my regular cologne in prison” and now it looks like maybe the prosecution was wrong about him. The flimsy bandwagon falls apart.
I’ve said it before on here:
We MUST resist the urge to criticize bad people for weak reasons when they already provide us with stronger arguments against themselves.

“That’s very scary.”, said the orange child rapist, “You must’ve shit yourself… I know I just did…again.”
We all know that he wouldn’t.
Also couldn’t. To state the glaringly obvious I guess hahaha.
Sure, bit even in his prime, as a fit and able young man, Trump would not have lifted a finger to assist someone else in need.
Perhaps you have forgotten about his debilitating case of bone spurs.
He likes people who don’t get captured by outgoing tides, undercurrents or exhaustion

But, should the kid have died, he would take the time to generate about ten images of him saving the kid, while saying the died because of Biden/Democrats/whatever is on his dark, decrepit mind.
Yes, but the president was kind enough to invite this young man over to the white house to tell him to his face, in front of his father.
Couldn’t
I hope I can do something heroic one day, so I can be invited to the White House, and I can hold a press conference to tell the entire world: “'Fuck NO! I’m not interested in letting that corrupt, treasonous, pedophile, rapist loser bask in the glow of my glory. I don’t want to be anywhere near him, where I have to breathe his stench.”
I know: He would not. Trump has no interest, and honestly no ability, to do so.
“I don’t know if I’d do it”
Because the 16 year old is too old for him
It was a 16 year old who saved a 10 year old if I read correctly. And Trump was telling the 10 year old he “probably wouldn’t” save him.
Yeah, Trump would be too busy raping the 16 year old life guard, so the 10 year old kid would drown.
Strangly honest
Literally the only time he’s honest is when he’s talking about doing something terrible
Captain Bonespurs rides again!
Must have been an ugly kid, cause Trump for sure does kids.
You expect him to do something altruistic for someone else? I mean, come on, what would be in it for him?
This isn’t news
It was tagged as US news in the guardian. It’s certainly not an op-ed.
Regardless of what it’s technically considered, it’s tabloid noise that I’d also argue shouldn’t be in a news sublemmy
It’s called a community
If a kid was drowning at Trump’s feet he would instruct his bodyguards to stand by.
To borrow a joke from The Amazing World of Gumball:
“If you were drowning at the bottom of the ocean and you saw this coming to your rescue, you would swim downwards!”
“Hold him down. We’ll tell them Biden did it.”
He does legitimately seem to prefer little girls, but he still wouldn’t have even bothered if he had every opportunity to come out safely and looking like a hero.
In his fucked up logic I have a sense of now but will never understand he’d be weakened by that display of heroism.
His parents fucked him up but good.
His experience is women are replaceable. He might prefer girls, but he wouldn’t treat one with any more kindness or respect.
Exactly, for him it’s “just another pussy to grab.”
He already showed us this once in 2020. He had the world’s softest ball thrown at him to spike his image, and he still fumbled it because his own personal belief system wouldn’t let him just tell people “look, stay at home, work from home, wear masks in public until we figure this shit out” without a profit motive SOMEWHERE.
