Donald Trump claims a general said he was the bravest little boy in the world, or something – Chinny reckon times 12
A few days ago, Manhattan was the venue for the New York Young Republican Club’s 111th Annual Gala and their Keynote speaker was Donald Trump.
The former President told assembled adoring fans of his plans to obliterate all remnants of the works of Joe Biden on day one of his next residency of the White House, promising to bring swift retribution to those who have ‘destroyed the country’.
What’s that tagline again? “Be afraid. Be very afraid.”
If his plans for the future were grounded in reality, the same can’t be said of his recount of the past, such as this ‘and then everyone cheered’ type anecdote.
Trump claims a General who had seen soldiers die on the battlefield told him the bravest thing he ever saw was Trump’s “locker room talk” answer during the debate pic.twitter.com/j6cqtCjq3T

‘Fantastic general, actually, said to me, “Sir, I’ve been on the battlefield, men have gone down on my left and on my right, I stood on the hills with soldiers who were killed, but I believe the bravest thing I’ve ever seen was the night you went onto that stage with Hillary Clinton after what happened”.
And then that woman asked you the first question about it.’ And I said “Locker room talk.”‘
Ah, yes. The bravery of dismissing boasting about assaulting women.
The audience, who had paid between $699 and $30,000 to attend, were as gullible about buying Trump’s obvious BS as they had been about buying those tickets. People on Twitter/X were a lot more sceptical.

It's kind of a backwards compliment to Hillary. I mean, she literally was the more powerful, the more formidable person on that stage.

Trump doesn’t give speeches. He tells long fake stories that provide an alternate reality in which he’s the hero and allow his audience to conflate themselves with him as he pretends to vanquish imaginary enemies like “Sleepy Joe” “Crooked Hillary” “the Deep State” & “Fake News”

I wonder if it’s the same general who told him to have a “wild” protest on J6 because the election was stolen? https://t.co/Dtof043zhZ

An actual Marine spoke out.
I'm a Marine. I've seen combat. I've seen Marines do brave things in combat.
There is nothing brave about Donald Trump. https://t.co/iN8SgLrN5H
