Isn't this the second time he's had a fly buzzing around him recently?

He either needs to ignore them, or keep fresher diapers.

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 10 points 2 hours ago (2 children)

I think it might be the third.

Or his dementia is causing him to hallucinate flys.

How does someone hallucinate alcohol?

[–] takeda@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

That sounds plausible. Neither in those 3 times there was anything visible on the camera and what are the odds suddenly those flies attacking him on every rally now?

I think it might be the ~~third.~~ turd.

Flies are attracted to the smell of shit. Some advisor needs to be brave enough to tell Trump to change his diaper before he goes on stage.

[–] acosmichippo@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago

they probably do.

[–] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 32 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

It’s hilarious, but disgusting. They need to take him out back, strip him down, and use a hose and scrub brushes and clean him off before somebody contracts some new super disease from being around him.

A flatbed in a "soft touch" car wash.

[–] EleventhHour@lemmy.world 5 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Or, and hear me out, an Indiana Jones-style mine cart ride straight to hell. Because, seriously, fuck that guy.

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

Make it a donkey Kong country style cart ride to hell, and we have a fucking deal!

[–] kometes@lemmy.world 22 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

The Dems control flies now, apparently.

[–] acosmichippo@lemmy.world 5 points 1 hour ago

the conspiracist’s adversary is simultaneously all-powerful and utterly incompetent.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 17 points 3 hours ago

Somebody should get that fly a medal of liberty

After watching the video that seems like nothing and I'm a Trump hater. What an unnewsworthy wet fart of a story.
