Holy shit, he refused to give back the original trophy, stole a medal and then ruined the celebration. These are the hallmarks of a fricking 4 year old at someone else's birthday party!

This may be a distraction, so just remember: Trump wants us to forget about the Epstein files, which had just been on Pam Bondi’s desk.

A Pedophile, A Felon, and A Thief

We can remember more than one thing

He stole the gold cup because they don't give any for being the number one pedophile.

All in one sentence.

A pedophile, a felon and a thief walk into a bar.

We can, but the average voter? Ehhhhh.

Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.

Did anybody honestly believe that the Trump administration would release their own incriminating evidence about Epstein? We all know Trump went to that island multiple times, raped underaged girls, and then when Epstein was caught, told his lackey Billy Barr to get rid of them, who then ordered guards in the prison to murder Epstein.

The Trump admin would never admit to any of that, no matter how many times we're going to point to some sliver on a video and say "GOT EM!"

Some of MAGA believed.

it's a distraction from the distraction, IMO

the cuts to social spending due to the BBB is what it should be actually about.
