Trump fumes after "Fake News" New York Times leaked audio report

Donald Trump slammed a New York Times report on covert audio recordings that disclosed a series of unsavory claims about him, including various allegations from an Australian billionaire about his interactions with the former president.

Pratt in the audio clips also claimed that Trump asked his wife and former first lady Melania to parade around Mar-a-Lago in a bikini "so all the other guys could get a look at what they were missing," adding that Melania ultimately retorted “I’ll do that when you walk around with me in your bikini.”

🤣🫣😳

look at what they were missing

It's just a Google search away though. Anyone that wants to see her can already do so.

The Donald is obviously a wretch, but Melania is not much better. She married him for his money and status, and he married her to show everyone he could get a hot wife. Is Melania really taking the high ground when she pretends that she's not his trophy wife? By refusing to fulfill that role, she's breaking their contract just as much as if he stopped giving her money to spend and a mansion to live in.

Do you know the terms of the new agreement? I don't, but you sound like you do?

Yeah, women are not human, they're just objects for fucks like you to do with as you please.

You are disgusting.

The dude is like a dumb teenager that hasn't ever developed or matured into an adult. He's what absolute morons picture as successful and smart.

By his own admission, he hasn't even reached puberty. He's still a grade schooler.

Trump’s MO is to never say anything. “And they’re saying, well what they’re saying is I haven’t even reached puberty. Actually they’re even saying I have the mental capacity of a grade schooler. And they’re saying folks that they can’t even find my testicles because they are so buried inside!”

“Awful human being is an awful human being” oh, wow

At this point it’s fascinating just how many of the tropes and stereotypes for evil, sleazy, rich guy that he embodies. He’s a cartoon character, Ebenezer Scrooge would think he was a greedy prick before his Christmas transformation, even 8 fucking years into this shit show I still cannot understand how he’s even a real person

In the 80s the “asshole billionaire real estate developer” was the bad guy in a ton of movies and modeled after guys like Trump. Just one I can think of off the top of my head is Batteries Not Included, and of course Back to the Future II

Yeah i knew he was the basis for a lot of those characters , but i think you could look even further back to like Hanna Barbera cartoons or black and white westerns where the evil banker that was gonna close the family ranch unless they got an inflated rent by the end of the month

I call him Biff because that character is supposedly directly based on little d.

Trump, and Leona Helmsley of "only the little people pay taxes" infamy.

He’s the living embodiment of the seven deadly sins.

That’s been the craziest thing of these last 8 years. In reality he is far too stereotypical and on the nose. We would never accept such a lazily written character in our fiction.

The actual report, instead of an article talking about an article

Yeah but that headline isn’t as catchy

And doesn't open with "slammed"

And where are the reactions of random people on Twitter criticizing or praising people involved? Or the Reddit thread that's been repurposed into an article via screenshots of the comments?

It's like these people don't know how to Journalism!

Lol. Republicans will just pass it off as more 'locker room talk'.

"Boys will be boys (who can't be held accountable for their actions)"

"The Failing New York Times story, leaked by Deranged Jack Smith and the Biden 'Political Opponent Abuser' DOJ, about a red haired weirdo from Australia, named Anthony Pratt, is Fake News," Trump fumed. "I never spoke to him about Submarines, but I did speak to him about creating jobs in Ohio and Pennsylvania, because that’s what I’m all about - JOBS, A GREAT ECONOMY, LOW TAXES, NO INFLATION, ENERGY DOMINANCE, STRONG BORDERS, NO ENDLESS WARS, LOW INTEREST RATES, and much more! Maggie Hagerman and the Misfits never called me for a comment. Why would they, they just write anything they want. Whether it’s correct or not is of ZERO importance to them. “All the News That’s Unfit To Print.” That’s why we call it the Fake News!"

So, if I use caps-lock, I can be president? That's what I've got from his socials over the years.

I can't tell if that was an indeed Trump rant or something you made up. If you made it up, you don't need caps locks. You're already Presidential material certified.

President Trump, is it true you support deflationary economics?

"JOBS I said. Dementocrats want to fool you saying words Bigly long. Always fooling with the words DIMWITcrats. LOW TAXES I said and don't need biggerly words"

SLAMMED!

There's so much slamming these days. Five years ago we slammed doors, now everything and everyone is being slammed.

Let him fume.

More ketchup on the walls?

Also two beef patties special sauce lettuce cheese pickled onions and a sesame seed bun, considering it’s McDonald we’re talking about

Why not naked?

If you're going to be a misogynistic ass, do it with gusto.

Gusto declined his advances too, and with good Reason, who was also there.

Tbf he was just asking her to do what she did at her previous job. Actually, less than what she did at her previous job.

That’s a fucked up take. It would be like if you dated someone that used to be a stripper but you thought part of the responsibility of being married to you is to allow herself to be passed around to the boys.

Par for the course for the Trump administration.

Paul Manafort was known by his daughters to force his wife to have sex with Russian Mafia and be gangbanged by other people.

You’re commenting on what Trump and his group do or expect. I don’t disagree. They are disgusting. But the guy I’m responding to is saying that Melania posed naked before so she should expect to keep doing that at the club for his buddies.

She should expect a misogynist to not be a misogynist? What would cause that change of heart?

We're talking about a guy who has publicly speculated about breast size of his newborn daughter.

Just wtf do you think is going on with trump and melanoma, anyway? It’s a fucking business transaction.

Kinda late with this fuming isn’t he? Too busy in court to pay attention?

First accurate use of "slammed" that I've ever seen used in a headline.
