The president later added, “And just, you know, because I don’t want to have a terrible story about this. I did it for him first and for the vote second. But it was a close second, actually. But I did it for the vote second.”

    Florida Rep. Neal Dunn faced a terminal illness and that he had helped him get lifesaving care because he liked him but also “needed his vote.”

    All these months of people insisting Trump is on death’s door and the breaking story is about a hack Congressman with a treatable condition. Lolz.

    This is a clear example of a person that has no empathy whatsoever.

    See, no sane person would smile while exposing a person death sentence to the whole world.

    The fact that this deranged person was elected as president, is a clear sign that our society is sick.

    Let’s hope it survives enough to find a cure…

      In that interview trump looked like a six year old that had been told a secret and couldn’t wait to tell everyone else what it was.

      If you read his niece’s book that’s basically the book. IIRC he was raised about as badly as you can, being given no love and only receiving approval for displaying strength. The family is reminiscent of the Kennedys except the Kennedys weren’t expected to be bullies to anyone but their kids, they just had to be exceptional.

    Yeah that’s Trump. He uses anything and everything to his advantage. He doesn’t understand boundaries, that’s why he can fuck children in their holes. Yes, I said it. Read it again Americans and know your shame.

    Somehow this hasn’t had him removed from office so I think Americans need to be reminded how absolutely evil and disgusting their president is how fucked it is the Republicans keep him in power.

    Trump first said he wouldn’t mention the lawmaker’s name before turning to Johnson and telling him to share the story, saying the House member they were discussing would “be proud.”

    “Okay, well. Thank you, Mr. President. Congressman Neal Dunn of Florida had had some real health challenges, and it was very serious, and had had a pretty grim diagnosis. And I mentioned it to the president and I said, ‘Congressman Dunn is a real champion and a patriot because he’s still coming to work, and if others got this diagnosis, they would be apt to go home and retire,’” Johnson said.

    Trump then pressed Johnson to say what the diagnosis was, and Johnson replied, “It was, I mean, I think it was a terminal diagnosis.”

    “He would be dead by June,” Trump said bluntly.

    “Okay, that wasn’t public,” Johnson responded.

    Wow. Just wow.

      And this is why your workplace has no business knowing your personal health issues. If you’re going to miss work, so be it, but they didn’t need to know Dunn has a terminal diagnosis with less than 6 months to live.

    On another note. I wonder what Republicans like Mike Johnson would do if Trump asked to fuck their children. Think they’d finally grow a spine? Or would they let him rape their kids, too, and keep supporting him? Kind of fucked up this is legitimately possible from the POTUS.
