Donald Trump huffed and puffed online after Maryland Gov. Wes Moore challenged him to walk the streets of his state.

The 79-year-old president lashed out on Truth Social on Sunday at Moore’s “nasty and provocative” invitation three days earlier to join him for some light cardio in Baltimore, calling the city a “crime disaster” and threatening to deploy National Guard troops.

Trump was so angry about the public safety walk invitation that he suggested he may pull federal support for rebuilding the city’s Francis Scott Key Bridge, which collapsed last year.

    The first man to bankrupt three casinos will soon be the president who bankrupted the military budget with all these useless deployments.

    I hope as a side effect of this nonsense that cops everywhere feel emasculated, knowing that Trump holds them in such little regard that he feels the need to send in the national guard to do their jobs for them.

      I don’t think cops will think that way. Instead, they’re going to think, “finally, I can do all the fucked up shit that the PC liberal government never let me do. MAGA! Derr!”

      Did he lose money on those bankruptcies or were they a scam?

      eg if he borrowed $10m for upgrades but secretly only spent $3m and split the difference with collaborators. Then by declaring bankruptcy the casino doesn’t have to pay back the loans.

      I am no finance expert so maybe my scenario is far fetched, I dunno.

      bankrupted the military budget

      Can’t be done. We might dedicate bigger and bigger chunks of our GDP to Military Kensyanism. But our imperial military exists to extract materials and labor to fuel the total economy. It functionally can’t go bankrupt.

      So long as there are nations we can sack and loot, and workers they can press gang and enslave, all we’re doing is driving up domestic retail costs at home to divert surplus to the Big Looting Machine that’s powered our nation since inception.

    Someone remind him that it’s not his money,

    Trump was so angry about the public safety walk invitation that he suggested he may pull federal support for rebuilding the city’s Francis Scott Key Bridge, which collapsed last year.

    Starting to look like the safest mode of assassination of that man would be to just yell “BOO!” when he’s not expecting it, and then let his failing physiology do the rest of the work.

    I’d like to see some women Democrats challenge him to other fitness activities.

    Considering he bragged that he could beat basically any woman at any sport, because men are just better.

    Hit him in his ego and his fragile masculinity.

    And hopefully God and a heart attack will do the rest

        I much prefer harm reduction to punishment. “Justice” is overrated, just let the monsters die and get out of the way as fast as possible.

            For your own sadistic pleasure? The only point of “making them suffer” is for the gratification of the torturer. I don’t take pleasure in pain, I just want them gone.

              Not for my pleasure. It serves as a warning to others who will only respond to fear. The stupid people. The “what are you gonna do about it” crowd.

                Severity of punishment doesn’t actually serve as an effective deterrent because nobody envisions themselves being caught.

    How is the tone offensive to Trump? He just invited him for a safety patrol. No slander, no negative tone. Wtf.

    Trump is so damn soft, man. How do these Alpha male types follow such a bitch? 🤣 🤣

    “Scream at him Mr. Trump. It’s working! There are only 9 out of 10 people still asking about the Epstein files. Last week it was 10 out of 10. The tide is changing, sir! I honestly think you’ll get away with all of the heinous shit that you do and did!” (One of Trumps handlers, probably).

    Perhaps he is better at squats or pushups?

    Look I like to be judged by my strengths rather than my weaknesses, too.
