These are the most despicable, disgusting people on the face of the earth. I do not for one second believe this was said for any reason other than “we know saying king will really piss off the left.”
His supporters love that about him, but will lie through their teeth and clutch their pearls if you confront them directly about that fact.
Spiteful, petty, hate-filled scum.
Hillary Clinton was right when she called them a basket of deplorables.
I don’t think it’s as benign as just trying to get a rise out of people.
It’s called “reconnaissance-in-force”. Basically you scout by starting a low-cost battle.
Him and Elon do it all the time, but in the political space. They say things as a “joke”, and then gauge the blowback. Then they decide if it’s a joke or not post hoc.
It’s always “a joke to own the libs” until it isn’t. You know those “jokes” about how if he gets elected, you’ll never have to vote again?

He’s always been a loser, this is from 2017 when it was reported his resorts were full of fake magazine covers.
I knew that, I’m just wondering if it’s more of that same absolute loser energy.
Its not even a Time cover. In fact, I don’t think that little thumbnail does it justice, it’s missing most of his crown. As posted by @WhiteHouse
Should be a Burger King crown. For accuracy.
I assume this means he’s changing his official title like he changed the name of the Gulf of Mexico.
Welcome back traffic.
and if congestion pricing will be allowed to continue in the interim.
Do it anyway, fuckit
Why did DOT have jurisdiction here anyway? If they don’t like congestion pricing just raise all prices to max at all times since you know it works.
