Always bet on Donnie chickening out. He had the 2016 nomination sewn up, and challenged Bernie Sanders to a debate for charity. Bernie said 'sure' and Trump had to run from his own dare.

Chickening out is just another way to say being hypocritical or lying. He always does this.
Hey that’s mine! Haha
I think it's awesome 👍
You drew this?
No it was AI. But I posted it. It was on a thread about AI images mocking Trump, so… I joined in
Would buy as a sticker!
I mean, you can make a sticker and sell it. I’d buy one lol
Hyper realistic AI or actual photograph of Trump? So hard to tell these days.
I like this one too, thank you for sharing
I love when he calls something “nasty” because that means that he feels insulted by it hahaha
Like most dictators he has a very fragile ego, it doesn't take much.
Most of these media goons are way too soft on him. He's an easy and deserving target for harsher criticism.
Its incredible how you can give a man all the power in the world and he still feels small. The smallness was inside them all along huh
Like “felon.”
Sad thing is we knew before the election that he needled easily. Whoever decided to stop doing that during the campaign needs to be taken for some wall to wall counseling.
During his first term, there was some issue that he was scheduled to meet with Pelosi and Schumer about, that afternoon. The day before, someone had made some crack about him that got under his skin. Knowing that they'd be meeting with him that afternoon, Pelosi repeated the insult, knowing he'd stew on it all day.
When the meeting happened, Pelosi and Schumer were waiting in the room when HitlerPig stormed in, hollered for a few minutes, and stormed out, while Pelosi and Schumer tried to hold back their smiles.
Schumer is a spineless weenie, but Pelosi always knew how to get to HitlerPig, and used it at every opportunity. We need someone to do that now.
Yeah he's a bully, bullys never fight fair, they always chicken out when actually challenged
So people have pulled a reverse-Biff on Biff?
Trump's about as tough as a wet noodle. It's a complication from the bone spurs
Trump always chickens out because he takes the most extreme and worst negotiating tactics possible. He consistently chickens out because he consistently chooses to use the same idiotic strategy.
Gets called a chicken.
Acts like a chicken.
Go figure?
Trump always wants to be known for his "great economy" when in office. Because of that I dont think 'TACO" is going to change his behavior.
It depends if it takes off or not. This little bubble we've seen on Lemmy is fun but it's not going to last and therefore it wont' change much. The reporter was risking a lot by shoving his nose in it, and that's what the real story is.
But people have a strong aversion to treating trump as something other than "slightly off" normal. He is very much not normal. He is demented and his narcissism is on full regular display every time he speaks.
"Don't you EVER say what you said!" he barked. His rage is always just barely being pulled at the last minute. But if "regular" peasants like this reporter keep stinging him he'll freak the fuck out, and all the intel agencies in China and russia and everywhere else know it.
All anyone has to do is get him to freak out in the proper direction and bam - you control whatever part of the US they want.
I work in the financial industry and we were talking about it in our "huddle" yesterday.
It ain't just Lemmy
TACO, TACO Don (TACO Don)
No one wants to be
a TACO Don!
TACO Krasnov strikes again.
I guess people will get bans for Luigi and tacos on Reddit now.
If I were a gambler I would be putting 100% of my money toward trump bets. That piece of shit projects everything he's going to do and there are people with money not willing to realise it. I swear, if I was an evil person I'd be rich.
I mean sounds about right.
"Jibe ruffles president's feathers"
Well played, Guardian, well played. If the president had middle school learning comprehension, he would be very offended.
