"I've lived a life of deep personal sacrifice!" . . . Please come CAPTION Donald Trump!!



Donald (I've been too busy to eat lunch approximately half-a-dozen times a year for over a decade&quot Trump is saying: "Listen, George, that Muslim father at the Democratic Convention who lost his son in Afghanistan. . . Well, he looked like a nice guy, but what does he know about me? . . . He says I haven't made any sacrifices. . . . Where the hell does he get that? . . . I've employed thousands of people and built a marvelous company. . . . Plus, I got more votes in the Republican primaries, than anyone ever. . . . Ever! . . . Talk about sacrifice! . . . All he lost was a son. . . . I mean, I feel sorry for him but, there's really no comparison!"




******************************

Aboe CAPTION based on the following ABC interview 7.30.16:

But not that shithead. He's taking the gloves off to offend that still grieving family.

REALLY. Did he really say that?!!!

God, every time he opens his mouth, I'm amazed that he finds a way to make me hate him even more.

but we try to channel our subject's essential self.

So, no he didn't actually say that, but . . .

Every day I carry that guilt deep inside so no one else can see. It makes me strong. It makes me successful. It makes me a grrrreat lover!

You can stroke it for a bit if you want. I'm very, very okay with that."

Thus he didn't say precisely that.

We ususally try to channel our subject's essence for satiric purposes. Often we have to stretch things a bit.

Not here. All I really added (beside condensing the situation) is the part beginning "All he lost was a son." The cretin actually said something very close to all that came before. His answer to his sacrifice: he's built big and employed tens of thousands of workers.

(The problem with people like those at DU is that we don't understand real-world logic.

I have to pretend to eat these fries and it doesn't even look authentic. Stoopid help forgot to take care of those icky things that God knows who touched.

The captions on this are hilarious.
