Donald Trump railed against Sen. Tom Cotton in a series of posts on Saturday, accusing the Arkansas Republican of holding up a bill that would make Daylight Saving Time permanent and encouraging people to call the senator at his cellphone number.

    This is the best thing that Trump has done while in office, sad that our bar is so low.

    Senator Cotton grow a pair and post Trump’s number. DO IT

      we got rid of it in the past and a surprising amount of people wanted it back immediately, ALLEGEDLY it curbs seasonal depression to a degree people can notice (apparently this may be a myth). but it also effects a hand full of industries it would cost some millions in terms of the economy, of course Trump gives zero shits about that he just cares if the chaos is either paid for in advance or something he can profit from, but there are reasons to keep daylight savings.

    Trump is an ass, and this is absolutely not how thing should be done. But here we are.

    So if I have to go through this shitshow, I can at least laugh my ass off that he’s doing this to Cotton who’s been one of his supporters. That’s what he gets.

    Honestly, I don’t fucking care. I could swear there was already a vote to do this years ago. If this guy is holding it up for God knows what reason, that’s fucking stupid. Not as stupid as getting on the lolita express and going to Jeff’s island and fucking kids, but it’s stupid nonetheless. Genuinely don’t care that the pedo did this so we wouldn’t talk about how he fucks kids.

      There have been many votes on doing this. And it keeps getting stuck on “needing further study” or some shit.

    Did Trump post his personal number (really effing stupid), or just his work number, which is fine?

      Trump has done this before. I wouldn’t be surprised if Republican politicians buy a burner phone just to give the number to Trump, so that if Trump blabs it like this it doesn’t swamp the numbers they actually use to get shit done

      Fairly sure Trump could escalate with secret service and possibly even laws I am not even aware of if Tom does that.

    Imagine getting doxxed by the freaking president of the United States

    I’d have an answer to “one fun fact about you” for the rest of my life
