“I think we all can agree, whether people like him or they don’t like him, in light of what happened to him on Saturday, he has proven to be one tough SOB,”
Uh, no we can’t. He is and always will be a giant thin-skinned coward. Where did he prove to be tough?
A shot grazed his fucking ear. Every teen goth girl has taken more direct hits to their ear.
Plus, he doesn’t listen to anyone anyway. The only more useless part of his body that they could have hit is his hair.
Did we ever get actual footage of his ear? The day of, we saw an ear with blood on it, then today we saw an ear with a bandage covering it. Are there any shots of the ear cleaned up enough to see actual tissue damage?
The tinfoil hat in me is still wondering if the performative display we saw was something like a gunman hired to pop a few shots at expendable followers behind Trump, so that Trump can duck below where the cameras were aimed, slather some shit on his ear, then pop up with that cheesy movie-esque fist pump.
Kinda expected info on the gunman to snuff those kinds of theories, but it’s sounding like he was just another dipshit Nazi who could easily be duped into a deal like that, then popped off by the SS.
The ear itself could disprove it, but so far I haven’t seen any articles with a pic.
Trump is too much of a pussy to let someone fire live rounds in his general direction.
Forethought has never been his strong suit. If the on-paper pitch was good enough, it’d be in-character for him to just go for it without considering any of the 'what if’s.
If you see the shot that shows the bullet frozen in air, you can see trumps ear ripped at the top before the blood has started spurting. In one of the ones with his fist raised. You can zoom in on his ear and clearly see the whole thing has become purple, swollen, and inflamed.
There are still a lot of questions about this event, but I’m pretty confident that Trump’s ear actually took some sort of damage from something, and so far the most likely cause seems to be a bullet.
I don’t have a link to it, but I did see a picture from the rally showing it, and the best way I can describe it is that he looked like that guy Mike Tyson took a bite out of. There was a decent chunk of cartilage that got blasted out of the upper and outer edge of his ear, maybe about an inch across at the widest part.
Didn’t die from getting grazed by a bullet, on the ear…
Next speaker is gonna say Trump cured cancer without a hint of irony.
It wasn’t even the bullet, his got nipped by glass shrapnel from the promter.
This is based on incorrect early speculation. A bullet nicked his ear directly. Not that it really matters.
Was this confirmed by anyone but shitty Reddit sleuths? The teleprompter being shattered also holds validity.
When glass like that breaks with that much kinetic energy, it’s not a movie style explosion. The particles collide into each other and ridiculous velocity and one very likely could have sliced into his ear.
It takes a tough man to worry about his shoes after getting shot at.
He refused to leave without his shoes and pumped his fist in the air. Strength.
Corrupt class traitor shows his true colors, every teamster should be voting this clown out.
Also this is on top of him challenging a Republican to a fist fight this year during a committee session where he and the Republican idiot had to be gaveled down by Bernie.
Absolute 🤡
“I refuse to keep doing the same things my predecessors did,” O’Brien said in a speech that criticized both parties. “Today the Teamsters are here to say we are not beholden to anyone or any party. We will create an agenda and work with a bipartisan coalition ready to accomplish something real for the American worker.”
Too cowardly to even admit he’s a conservative. I’m sure he’ll be speaking at the DNC too.
If he shows up to the DNC he should be booed off the damn stage.
Ugh, I hate doing this but biden hasn’t been 100 with unions. I don’t think trumps better but it’s a sore subject for sure. I will say biden did get the rail works sick days. If that was the concession he made and things are truly better I’d ease up.
On the other hand the supreme court has signaled that they will intervene in union related disputes and in one of their recent rulings may have some chilling effects.
He was thinking about money…for himself. Fuck everyone else, of course.
Like a true Republican!

Fucking clownshoes.
I had high hopes for him, but he’s just another Hoffa.
Who knows, he may yet still be Hoffa.
That reminds me, I need to order solar panels.
I used to think this guy was half decent. Never mind.
His whole speech was a call for bipartisanship and for all workers to unite along class lines. Aside from a tiny bit of pandering to the venue/audience which makes the rightwing audience more receptive to the message, he didn’t endorse or praise the Republican party. If you want Republican voters to wake up and vote in their own interest, this is how the message has to go. It’s also a great way to sow division within the Republican party.
Teamsters President Sean O’Brien praised Donald Trump as an ally for the working class and “one tough SOB,”
Yes, very bipartisan…
this man glows in the dark
Yeah the angry orange is so tough he needs half a dozen guards keeping his candy ass safe
That’s the secret. By playing both sides he always comes out on top!
Dunno, but if I was a Teamster, I’d leave the union over that nonsense.
Nah, that just takes power away from working people. Organize militant committees within the union for the sole purpose of getting working politics into leadership positions. That is the play.
I’m work in a teamsters shop. You can’t even get these idiots to vote on their contracts let alone start a splinter group.
The teamsters are more of an extortion racket than a union.
He fits right in.
