Trump spends another weekend at war partying at Mar-a-Lago

Not even a war could keep President Donald Trump away from glitzy parties at Mar-a-Lago.The commander in chief, 79, made an unscheduled appearance at a Republican fundraising event in Palm Beach, Florida, on Friday night as his Iran war raged on.

A clip posted by right-wing news outlet Florida’s Voice showed the crowd going wild as Trump walked into the massive gilded hall, clapping his hands and pointing at faces in the fawning crowd. Lee Greenwood’s God Bless The USA, a beloved MAGA anthem, played in the background. The president took his time mingling with the crowd as he made his way up to the podium. Once the cheers of “USA” died down, Trump made an admission.

“So, you know, I didn’t know I was going to be here today,” he said as the audience roared. “I’m supposed to be prosecuting the war, but the war’s going very well.” “They have no navy, they have no air force, they have no anti-anything. All they can do is make a little ruckus,” he continued, repeating a claim that he has made even as a U.S. jet was struck by suspected Iranian fire.

Trump went on to claim that the U.S. didn’t need “the thing called the strait” in an apparent reference to the Strait of Hormuz, a critical Iran-controlled waterway where oil from the Persian Gulf passes through. “The thing called the strait that we don’t need, that other countries need, that other countries don’t want to fight for—this is unbelievable. We’re fighting for everyone else,” he said as he redirected the attention back to himself.

Or maybe he will, but won’t survive the day.

It’s a gala! Just picturing the maralago faces…and him, plus Roger Stone. 🫣 I’m too broke to get an invite, and that surely is a blessing. It’s a ghoul’s ball.

A pic of trump doing that constipated dance he does, along side a pic of coffins being unloaded via dignified ceremony.

Headline? God of War? Party On, Dude? Captain Bone Spurs?
