Trump was wittering on about his ‘wounds’ being worse than any other President before him, and History entered the chat
The right-wing conservative Christian political advocacy group, Faith and Freedom Coalition is probably not too keen on men describing what their shirtless bodies are like, but that’s what they got when they invited Donald Trump to be a keynote speaker at their conference in Washington D.C. on Saturday.
Trump: If I took this shirt off, you would see a beautiful beautiful person. But you would see wounds all over. I’ve taken a lot of wounds I can tell you. More than I suspect any president ever pic.twitter.com/ETzIt9jJI0

Despite the tongue-in-cheek air, it isn’t the first time he’s spoken about being the most badly treated President, and in a country with four presidential assassinations and two other presidential shootings in its short history, it’s a victim complex that’s difficult to defend.
The Biden-Harris campaign account shared the ridiculous clip shortly afterwards.

The sound of collective American facepalming was deafening.

Setting aside the fact that there’s a reason he’s never seen with his shirt off, all he ever fucking does, 24/7/365, is whine about what a fucking victim he is.
Who the hell wants a president like that?

“wounds all over” is a weird way to say syphillis https://t.co/jckkiCPCsh

Sure, being president can be a tough gig, but "wounds all over my body" is a bit much, don't you think? It's like he's trying to out-martyr every other president in history, including those who actually got shot.
Who am I to judge? Maybe he's just really sensitive to paper cuts.…— Popular EY (@Popular_Ey) June 22, 2024

How's that related to our economy or the office he's contesting to occupy again?

JFK would like a word. As would Ronald Reagan. As would McKinley, Garfield, and Lincoln.
And TR.
The degree to what this man is so completely disconnected from reality is truly mind-boggling . https://t.co/vQxMcqPFfV

If Trump took off his shirt what you’d most likely see is Lindsey Graham trying to nurse. https://t.co/APPbxzknk4

Well he's still alive, so apparently he has not taken the worst wounds.
