Trump jokes about Santa giving a child 'clean, beautiful coal' for Christmas

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-clean-coal-norad-santa-tracker-calls-children-christmas-eve-rcna250897

Reminds me of how he once saw a little kid on an escalator and and said, “I’m going to be dating her in 10 years”

He's also literally forcing Americans to burn coal when it's not cost-effective with all of the attendant negative health effects.

Funny thing to say about a diaper sniper

People downvoting you, but one of my customers works for my city's government. Apparently she met the guy during his first term, and according to her he really does smell like shit. She said she didn't know if it was the diaper meme or just BO/body spray, but he did smell genuinely awful.

Anyone who has worked in a coal fired power plant would know that "clean and beautiful" are not words that describe the inside of one of those places. Ask me how I know.

And he told a girl that she sounded cute and beautiful. Then he asked how old she was.

She said she was 8.

New lows are reached on a daily basis.

Too old to throw into Lake Michigan though, luckily

No. The real thing to remember….he hit on an 8 year old.

Yeah, that was so freaky...he really just can't control himself around children apparently

The calls were all pretty creepy... He's way too good at talking to children. He immediately finds a way to impress upon them he's important in a way they can relate to and compliments them on something, it was like watching high speed grooming

I don't know what the hell is going on anymore.

Republicans do stuff so ridiculous that you can't easily tell.

What's actually happening:

  • Truth Social stock value dropped sharply because its not a platform with any real monetization potential
  • a fusion company with no working product wanted to sell stock to the public so its founders could make off with a bunch of money
  • so they merged to create hype for the truth social stock and to let the fusion company list shared without having to undergo the usual scrutiny

What hasn't happened

  • the silly name the Onion came up with

What might happen:

  • large transfers of money from the federal government to the combined firm
