Name a more iconic duo than figureheads of toxic masculinity and deluding themselves into thinking they can go toe to toe with nature without repurcussions

"It was the fake news ocean, everyone knows our, Great Military, killed the ocean, at Pete's Command, with my approval, the ocean was bombed into the ground, never seen anything like it, a fisherman, tears in his eyes, told me 'Thank you Mister President, the fish are all dead' and then I shot him, because he -you know no one knows this, but fish got a fishy smell, and he just had to be near my Kid Touching Suit and I can't have him ruining the experience for the kids, so we are going to Nuke San Diego, permanently ending the fish threat."

It’s that gulf of Mexico sneaking over the border with those high tides..,

Shit, considering how often Ancient Rome got caught in a massive storm in the naval theater of the Punic Wars, this trope is older than the Common Era.

Unbelievable ball knowledge

Helene was in ‘24 and there are still bridges out. Acquiring federal funding for the rebuilding effort has been like pulling teeth.

I wouldn’t hold my breath waiting for help from this guy, Florida.

u/FastActinTenactin 7d ago

Yep. We still haven’t fully recovered from Helene over two years out from the storm.

u/elivoncoder 7d ago

help hinges on their vote.

u/yourdoglikesmebetter 7d ago

That’s certainly the sales pitch.

Anyone who believes it… well… I’ve got some bridges to sell them in Appalachia

u/a_cat_named_harvey 7d ago

Didn’t this dude gut FEMA?

7

u/koolmagicguy 7d ago

Yes. That’s why he’s downplaying it. He’ll say the damage is tiny and not do anything to help anyone

u/Inspect1234 7d ago

Someone is about to put the crayons down and bring out his big-boy sharpie.

u/terenscendent 7d ago

all he does is lie. sad thing is his supporters believe him 100%, right until the leopard eats their face

u/Simpleximo 7d ago

Fake news. Hurricane didn’t happen. It was a little rain storm cause by wind mills making too much wind.

7

u/micahisnotmyname 7d ago

Maybe he’s got a team busy redacting all the damage.

u/Amitmandal001 7d ago

Did he pass an executive order on it? Or put sanctions on it?

u/Plusaziz 7d ago

His words are meaningless. Carry no weight

u/Accomplished_Ad5811 7d ago

No! You're lying! You're lying! What makes you lie!?

u/Betelgeuse96 7d ago

lol I'm just imagining him sending the National Guard out there to block the hurricane. "Don't worry, we'll have this hurricane under control."

2

u/rosebudthesled8 6d ago

The Hurricaine is eating the Dogs and Cats, there is rampant leftist communist crime happening in the Hurricaine so we are sending the National Guard without food or equipment to control the Hurricaine. They will push it back into the ocean and then run a train on my diapered bottom.

Just like the port of Hormuz. SMH

u/Latter-Possibility 7d ago

Why do any actual work when you can just claimed that you did! This is Trump 4D chest.

u/billthedog0082 7d ago

The lack of electrical power is part of the control.

u/Beneficial-Care8504 7d ago

He’s got the paper towels ready.

u/fungi_at_parties 7d ago

u/StopLookListenNow 6d ago

tRump has the most power Sharpie in the universe.

u/MourningRIF 6d ago

The hurricane is under control? So Trump admits sending hurricanes at the US? (Yes, it's a stupid comment, but they convinced morons that Biden was controlling the weather...)

1

u/LoquaciousLemonade 6d ago

As always, "under control" to Dipshit Donny means "not affecting me, not my problem".

1

u/spbaseball 6d ago

So he controls the weather????

u/Zymergy71 4d ago

Has the “black sharpie” made an appearance?

u/thursday712 7d ago

Well, in all fairness, the hurricane hit last night.

u/Argantyr313 7d ago

There’s no fairness. It’s not under control. It’s weather. More appropriately “We are taking action, updates as we receive them.”
How the fuck hard is it to tell the truth???

Lol, Jesus, dude... are you panicking on their behalf?

He's going to sharpie it somewhere else.
