He's also had a sudden drop in campaign appearances this last week. Like he only made a single campaign stop in Montana at a time when he really needs to be out everywhere

I genuinely think there's a good chance he did

I think he blew a gasket when the Supreme Court stopped giving him full immunity.

And when Biden stepped down, he had a temper tantrum about how Harris was now the opponent.

Maybe he’s born with it.

Maybe it’s hydroxychloroquine.

And had an emergency landing.

I don't know if its true but they said he had to reroute away from his intended destination due to non payment of some bill at the airport he was going to would have resulted in the plane being impounded to settle the debt. I can already see trump is a crook. I don't need this confirmed for that assessment.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

I would so love for this to be true - anyone??

[–] JustZ@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It sounds pretty unbelievable. If a plane would have been impounded in Bozeman I can't imagine it would be any different in Billings. I heard it was mechanical failure of some kind.

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

It happens and its perfectly possible if the bill is owed at one location and not another. I've witnessed a UPS truck up on hooks being towed away due to UPS refusing to pay a settlement. Dude made them pay in cash refusing the check they rushed down.
