I was at Mar-a-Lago and we had this incredible ball, the Red Cross Ball, in Palm Beach, Florida. And we had the Marines. And the Marines were there, and it was terrible because all these rich people, they’re there to support the Marines, but they’re really there to get their picture in the Palm Beach Post… so you have all these really rich people, and a man, about 80 years old—very wealthy man, a lot of people didn’t like him—he fell off the stage.
Trump explained that this was a $100K-per-table fundraiser at his Mar-a-Lago estate and the Marines, he admitted, were given “the worst table in the whole place” at the very back of the room in the corner.
When the old man fell in front of Trump, there were two completely different responses—one from the Marines, and one from Trump:
The Marines ran up front, picked up the man, covered in blood, and formed a human stretcher to carry him out.
Then there was Donald Trump:
And you know what I did? I said, ‘Oh my God, that’s disgusting,’ and I turned away,” said Trump. “I couldn’t, you know, he was right in front of me and I turned away. I didn’t want to touch him… he’s bleeding all over the place.
I felt terrible, you know, beautiful marble floor, didn’t look like it. It changed color. Became very red….His wife is screaming—she’s sitting right next to him, and she’s screaming.
I was saying “Get that blood cleaned up! It’s disgusting!”
And cops all over the country love this asshole.
Here are actual nerves of steel. But, you know, she wsn’t equipped to be a big macho president, IYKWIM.
