Even Donald Trump’s guest of honor at an impromptu White House photo op Monday wasn’t willing to praise the president’s performance during his second term.
After grabbing two bags of McDonalds from his DoorDash driver, Sharon Simmons a shy Trump Voter from Arkansas, the president repeatedly prompted the food courier to compliment his policies in front of the press—to no avail.
Trump pressed Simmons on a range of other conservative talking points, including banning trans athletes (primarily trans girls) from competing in their gender-aligned sports.
“Do you think that men should play in women’s sports?” asked Trump.
“I really don’t have an opinion on that,” Simmons insisted.
Trump has offered a bizarre explanation for a blasphemous post depicting himself as Jesus.
“I did post it, and I thought it was me as a doctor - it had to do with Red Cross, there’s a Red Cross worker there, which we support. Only the fake news could come up with that one (the depiction of Jesus). I just heard about it, and said: ‘How did they come up with that?’”
Trump has since deleted the post in an admission that the outrage is justified. Trump’s rage posting and ranting have only made clearer than calls for impeachment or the 25th Amendment must be louder.
