A supposed billionaire throwing a tantrum over buying lunch. If he is a billionaire, he has more money than most ordinary people will ever see in their lifetimes, yet I've seen more kindness from among impoverished folks who lived in cow-dung huts.
It's not about money, to him it's about helping the enemy.
That and he didn't get his way to not have a lunch break. He thought he had the power to say no since they were at Mar a lago and they wouldn't have option for a lunch if he said so, then got angry when he lost on that little decision. That's the temperament of the GOP forerunner, can't even be overruled on a lunch decision without being set off.
His main issue was that other people did not revere him as a god and consider everybody who is not 100% loyal to him their mortal enemy.
Nah he was pissed because he had to share his stockpile of McChickens and McDoubles. He wanted to eat them all himself!
I can just imagine his mountainous horde of hamberders
tendies
He also gets big mad because he struggles to remember where he wrote the combination (it’s 1-2-3, beeteedubs) to the safe where he keeps them
I'd bet good money that he was only furious because it ruined his (pathetic) attempt to bully her into skipping lunch, and made him look like a fool when it failed. That's exactly the kind of thing that would make him furious.
To be honest I have experienced the utter most kindness and hospitality in my life amongst people living in relative material poverty.
It feels wrong to use them as the negative example, as you do here, altough I understand that you are not trying to belittle people living in cow-dung huts. Just hit me as a bit overly imperialistic in it's tone.
You’re assuming the wrong thing. I’ve literally sat on the floors of cow-dung huts in Kenya and been fed better food than most any food I’ve eaten in America. I’m describing their houses as cow-dung huts because that’s what they lived in, it’s a common dwelling out there.
