A senior official at ALL times
As fallout from Donald Trump’s meeting with the white supremacist Nick Fuentes continues, a far-right activist has claimed the meeting was a set-up, meant to “make Trump’s life miserable”.
Sigh. Now I have to catch up with the Trump news. I overlooked the meeting and the fallout.
NBC News reported that in an attempt to “send a message” to the former president, Milo Yiannopoulos, a rightwing provocateur and former Breitbart editor, helped arrange for Fuentes to travel to Mar-a-Lago in Florida for a dinner between Trump and the rapper Ye, formerly known as Kanye West.
Trump ate with the pair. He’s been criticized for doing so.
Ye, who like Trump is running for president in 2024, said he used the dinner to ask Trump to be his vice-president, only for Trump to insult his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian.
Hahahahahahachokehahahahahahaha god don’t you wish you’d been a fly on the wall when Mr West asked Trump to be his VP? Haaaaaaaaaahahahahahahaha
“Trump started basically screaming at me at the table telling me I was going to lose,” Ye said in a video since deleted from social media but transcribed by Newsweek. “I mean, has that ever worked for anyone in history? I’m like, ‘Woah, woah hold on hold on Trump, you’re talking to Ye.’”
Seriously. Dude, who do you think you are?
A source close to Trump told NBC the former president was left furious by the meeting.
Hahahahahaha you don’t say.
“He’s crazy. He can’t beat me,” Trump said of Ye, according to the source, who also said “Trump was totally blindsided” by Fuentes’s presence, adding: “It was a set-up.”
Oh my goodness, totally blindsided, how surprising and shocking for such a disciplined thoughtful man.
On Wednesday, the Associated Press reported that Trump’s campaign was “putting new protocols in place to ensure that those who meet with him are approved and fully vetted”. Among those protocols, the AP said, citing unnamed sources, is a requirement that Trump is accompanied by a senior official at all times.
falls to floor in shrieks of laughter
Ah yes, the old “only one moron in the room at a time” protocol. (Babysitter sold separately.) Too much.
The Clash of the Titanic Egos. That must have been amazing.
And hilarious.
I’m starting to wonder if the whole Trump circus is an elaborate performance art prank, and Andy Kaufman will pop up any day now.
“a requirement that Trump is accompanied by a senior official at all times”
This will last until they realize that this person is a witness who might be compelled to testify about conversations they heard.
I’m just thinking of Moe Greene yelling at Michael Corleone, “The Corleones don’t buy me me out. I’m Moe Greene!”
Ye will never get two scoops at Mar-a-Lago.
I’m not sure this is going to do any good. If this were to be applied rigourously and consistently, Trump couldn’t afford to be seen with himself.
Does Trump have any Senior Officials? I mean, he has lackeys and hangers on, some of them probably use the title Senior, but does he actually have anyone competent and respected enough to be called an Official?
Haaaa hahaha! Oh lort, this is comedy gold. I especially love that Kanye refers to himself in the third person just like Mr. Ward, my 7th grade social studies teacher.
