In a rare move, Michael Haley fired back at the former president, posting a meme on Twitter reading, “The difference between humans and animals? Animals would never allow the dumbest ones to lead the pack,” while mentioning Trump’s account in the caption.

Yooooooooo... lol I'll bet Trump is seething. XD

Animals would never allow the dumbest ones to lead the pack

Guess 2016 proves we're animals.

[–] [email protected] 63 points 9 months ago (2 children)

I think you got it backwards. Animals wouldn't. But we're human, so we did (in 2016).

[–] [email protected] 17 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Oh you're totally right, I did read it backwards lmao.

[–] otp 8 points 9 months ago (1 children)

You are definitely not an animal! Haha

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

I feel like this thread is really driving home his point

[–] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Yeah let's not bring animals into this. All my best friends are animals.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Prokaryote gang represent.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Animals don't have an electoral college, to be fair.

And where is Melania? Not with you at your pep rallies and court dates... Fucking clown.

[–] [email protected] 57 points 9 months ago

The Trump campaign can’t afford her and she’s the only one smart enough to get paid upfront.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 9 months ago

EVERY accusation is a confession.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 9 months ago

And where is Melania?

Waiting for her cash and prizes, which -- given Trump's current legal woes -- might not happen.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago (1 children)

She's at home keeping Raul the pool guy busy

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Your boy comes to see you, he's your Hollywood thrill He's a Spanish fly, bucks like a stallion In the suits that you got him, he looks more Italian

Notably, former first lady Melania Trump has not joined her husband for any public campaign events since his presidential announcement in November 2022 and has not appeared alongside him at any of his court appearances.

I think his new goal since his last term is "let's see how hypocritical I can be and still get elected"

[–] Imgonnatrythis 25 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, at this point when he is elected America kind of has it coming. He hid nothing - as big of an idiot as he is, the bigger idiots are the populous that votes for this guy.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Sadly I have to agree, but you know all these idiots will still turn around and blame the Dems/Libs for anything that goes wrong. They treat Trump like the North Koreans treat Kim Jung Un, he can do no wrong.

[–] Imgonnatrythis 2 points 9 months ago

At least the Koreans can blame fear.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

New goal? That's how he got elected the first time.

[–] BigDanishGuy 6 points 9 months ago (1 children)

It seems like Trump enabled GODMODE and is now just fucking about, trying to cause as much chaos as possible before he gets bored.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Let's just hope he doesn't know where to enter IDKFA 😶

[–] BigDanishGuy 0 points 9 months ago

That was a blast from the past. I was thinking that he had used either L+I+M repeatedly or AEZAKMI. Hopefully while he's punching WORSHIPME and HELLOLADIES he could accidentally hit GOODBYECRUELWORLD instead of the BGLUAWML/AJLOJYQY combo that seems much more likely.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago

I think his new goal is just do whatever the fuck he wants, which has pretty much always been his goal I guess lol

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

His goal is to be as decisive as possible to encourage the fight because he thinks he can get more on his side through pure spite.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 9 months ago

Where's Melania, Donnie?
We haven't seen her in the public eye in months.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Let's wait for Trump to call him a sucker.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago

Hope her husband didn't lose any wars or get captured.
