“I was at Mar-a-Lago and we had this incredible ball, the Red Cross Ball, in Palm Beach, Florida. And we had the Marines. And the Marines were there, and it was terrible because all these rich people, they’re there to support the Marines, but they’re really there to get their picture in the Palm Beach Post… so you have all these really rich people, and a man, about 80 years old—very wealthy man, a lot of people didn’t like him—he fell off the stage,” said Trump.

Trump proceeds to explain that it was a $100,000-per-table fundraiser filled with deep-pocketed billionaires, and that the Marines were—for whatever reason—given tables in the very back of the ballroom (“the worst table in the whole place”). Oh, and that he was more preoccupied with his ballroom’s pristine marble floor than the octogenarian bleeding out on it.

“So what happens is, this guy falls off right on his face, hits his head, and I thought he died. And you know what I did? I said, ‘Oh my God, that’s disgusting,’ and I turned away,” said Trump. “I couldn’t, you know, he was right in front of me and I turned away. I didn’t want to touch him… he’s bleeding all over the place, I felt terrible. You know, beautiful marble floor, didn’t look like it. It changed color. Became very red. And you have this poor guy, 80 years old, laying on the floor unconscious, and all the rich people are turning away. ‘Oh my God! This is terrible! This is disgusting!’ and you know, they’re turning away. Nobody wants to help the guy. His wife is screaming—she’s sitting right next to him, and she’s screaming.”

Thank God for the Marines. “What happens is, these 10 Marines from the back of the room… they come running forward, they grab him, they put the blood all over the place—it’s all over their uniforms—they’re taking it, they’re swiping [it], they ran him out, they created a stretcher. They call it a human stretcher, where they put their arms out with, like, five guys on each side,” shared Trump.

“I was saying, ‘Get that blood cleaned up! It’s disgusting!’ The next day, I forgot to call [the man] to say he’s OK,” said Trump, adding of the blood, “It’s just not my thing.”

1. Then that means 50 million FIFTY GOD DAMN MILLION Americans feel the

same way when they see someone in trouble or in need.

How do we survive if that many of us are that callous, uncaring and just downright ASSHOLES!

[Salviati]

2. He's a psychopath

3. I am going to hazard a guess that the only...

...bodily functions Trump is not disgusted by are his own erections (if he is still capabe).

[pwb]

4. And whores pissing on him.

They say he likes that bodily function.

[3catwoman3]

5. Which makes no sense if he is...

...as much of a germophobe as he is alleged to be.

7. And all the fast food he eats

6. The beautiful marble floor was the only thing that mattered

obviously

[highplainsdem]

8. And he wasn't ashamed to admit it - has no idea how crazy/evil he sounds.

9. No, I can't say it.

10. "I felt terrible"

“I felt terrible. You know, beautiful marble floor, didn’t look like it.
It changed color. Became very red.

I was saying, ‘Get that blood cleaned up! It’s disgusting!’"

11. These are the words of a sociopath

He understands things only in relation to how they affect HIM. HE's disgusted, didn't want to touch the guy, worried about a "beautiful marble floor" and not the injured man.

THIS is what's in the White House. Don't tell me that was in the past and he's changed. Clearly, he hasn't. THAT is who he is.
