We all know that he wouldn't.

    Also couldn't. To state the glaringly obvious I guess hahaha.

    Sure, bit even in his prime, as a fit and able young man, Trump would not have lifted a finger to assist someone else in need.

    But, should the kid have died, he would take the time to generate about ten images of him saving the kid, while saying the died because of Biden/Democrats/whatever is on his dark, decrepit mind.

    To give some modicum of credit: I think this was his attempt at talking the lifeguard up. Like: "Wow, you're such a hero!"

    But the problem is that the exclamation (regardless of truth) is supposed to be like: "Wow, I don't know if I would've been brave enough to do that! You're a real hero." Not that you just "might not have" as though saving a human life would be too inconvenient.

    Then the 16-year-old kid gets to feel really brave because even the president thinks they are. (Also doesn't help that this current POTUS is an abject, selfish coward.)

    I agree. This is how he meant it and how anyone who likes him takes it. It makes him likeable to those people. It's so childish to pretend it isn't.

    These types of "news" articles I think are actually quite dangerous. It shifts the battleground into weaker territory. If you're a prosecutor trying to prove a guy needs a life sentence, and you have thirty testimonies of him beating puppies with hammers, why would you pull up to court saying shit like "your honor, the defendant's cologne is too sharp and clearly in poor taste"? Meanwhile everyone who justifiably hates the puppy-flattener is excited to jump on ANY bandwagon to hate the guy, no matter how flimsy it is. Next thing you know the court is all talking about his cologne. Then the defendant comes in with some actually good explanation for that like "they didn't have my regular cologne in prison" and now it looks like maybe the prosecution was wrong about him. The flimsy bandwagon falls apart.

    I've said it before on here:

    We MUST resist the urge to criticize bad people for weak reasons when they already provide us with stronger arguments against themselves.

    Yeah, Trump would be too busy raping the 16 year old life guard, so the 10 year old kid would drown.

    "That's very scary.", said the orange child rapist, "You must've shit yourself... I know I just did...again."

    I know: He would not. Trump has no interest, and honestly no ability, to do so.

    He already showed us this once in 2020. He had the world's softest ball thrown at him to spike his image, and he still fumbled it because his own personal belief system wouldn't let him just tell people "look, stay at home, work from home, wear masks in public until we figure this shit out" without a profit motive SOMEWHERE.

    "I don't know if I'd do it"

    Because the 16 year old is too old for him

    If a kid was drowning at Trump's feet he would instruct his bodyguards to stand by.

    I hope I can do something heroic one day, so I can be invited to the White House, and I can hold a press conference to tell the entire world: "'Fuck NO! I'm not interested in letting that corrupt, treasonous, pedophile, rapist loser bask in the glow of my glory. I don't want to be anywhere near him, where I have to breathe his stench."

    “I don’t know if I would have done it. Unless nobody was around, then I’d give you a yacht ride to my friends island.”

    Of course he wouldn't. It'd involve him giving a shit about someone other than himself, for a start. Then he'd have to shift his ponderous arse out of his own way to actually get off it and move.

    It was tagged as US news in the guardian. It's certainly not an op-ed.

    Trump doesn't know if it would, but everyone else does.

    You expect him to do something altruistic for someone else? I mean, come on, what would be in it for him?

    We all know that if trump ever actually steps so much as a toll into the sea he would dissolve. The bronzer is all that's holding him together.

    Like with mutilated vets, he'd call kid a loser.

    Trump would jump in and his diaper would soak up all the water and save them.

    I won't save Trump if I was that lifeguard. Oh dear what a shame, this fat fuck can't swim, oh well...

    The only thing positive about Trump is his buoyancy.

    Must have been an ugly kid, cause Trump for sure does kids.

    "well, if it were you drowning, i probably wouldn't either," replied the lifeguard.
