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.

[-] M137@lemmy.world 27 points 2 days ago

There have been people recently who work/worked for him saying he smells like death and shit, so bad it's hard to be around him.

[-] ef9357@lemmy.sdf.org 14 points 2 days ago

Maybe they smell that he’s near death. Flies like dead things.

[-] Drusas@fedia.io 29 points 2 days ago

I think it might be the third.

[-] painfulasterisk1@lemmy.ml 29 points 2 days ago

Or his dementia is causing him to hallucinate flys.

[-] takeda@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days 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?

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago
[-] M600@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

How does someone hallucinate alcohol?

/s

Iirc I think he’s actually a teetotaler.

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 23 hours ago

so he claims. are we suddenly supposed to start believing him?

Never said he was sober. He loves the pills and the powder.

But he’s a teetotaler because his older brother struggled mightily with alcoholism for much of his life, and died rather young at 43.

[-] snausagesinablanket@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago

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

[-] EatATaco@lemm.ee 1 points 2 days ago

Holy shit, it's literally in the little blurb that this happened previously. You were likely typing in this question right under the answer.

[-] Jumpingspiderman@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago

When one is wearing a full diaper, one must expect a few flies.

[-] IchNichtenLichten@lemmy.world 31 points 2 days ago

We should listen to the animals. Bernie got a cute little bird, Trump and Pence got insects drawn to the stench of decay.

[-] cultsuperstar@lemmy.world 29 points 2 days ago

Flies are attracted to shit.

Meanwhile, here's how Obama handled a similar situation:
Obama swats fly

[-] shalafi@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

That's how it's done! They launch backwards, so cup your hand like that and come from behind. They'll jump right into death.

[-] kometes@lemmy.world 65 points 2 days ago

The Dems control flies now, apparently.

[-] acosmichippo@lemmy.world 22 points 2 days ago

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

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 11 points 2 days ago

It's so wild to me that Trumpers think the Democrats were behind the assassination attempts, like they can't afford professionals.

[-] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 65 points 2 days ago

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.

[-] P00ptart@lemmy.world 20 points 2 days ago

A flatbed in a "soft touch" car wash.

[-] EleventhHour@lemmy.world 18 points 2 days ago

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

[-] P00ptart@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

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

[-] N0body@lemmy.dbzer0.com 48 points 2 days ago

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.

[-] Sabata11792@ani.social 6 points 2 days ago

They didn't have the campaign funds to keep the ass checkers on payroll.

[-] CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 days ago

Given his sheer laziness, my money is that he's just sitting in it until EOD.

[-] acosmichippo@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago
[-] DancingBear@midwest.social 1 points 1 day ago

They did on the set of the apprentice

[-] smokebuddy@lemmy.today 23 points 2 days ago

I thought maybe this was the same fly as the lead from Seth Meyers on Sept. 30, but apparently it happened AGAIN?!? I guess 'flies' are the new 'like a dog's in Trump's addled brain?

[-] xantoxis@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

Not aggressive, just a little early.

[-] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 21 points 2 days ago

lord of fLies

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 21 points 2 days ago

Somebody should get that fly a medal of liberty

[-] uebquauntbez@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago

Even the flies are democrats! /s

Jesus, again?

[-] 2pt_perversion@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

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

[-] shalafi@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

I think the quote is the story:

He continued, saying, "See, two years ago, I wouldn’t have had a fly up here. But they’re changing rapidly. We can’t take it any longer."

That's really weird.

[-] Custodian1623@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

thank you, this is awful pandering

[-] xc2215x@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Flies do not bite or sting. Trump will be fine.

[-] IchNichtenLichten@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago
[-] WindyRebel@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago

Or black flies, or midges, or sand flies, or horseflies…

[-] tee9000@lemmy.world 0 points 2 days ago

This post is a waste of time.
