Arguing with your misguided perspective is not “virtue signalling”. I want Trump to crap on these people. I wish more people in high places would do the same instead of virtue-signalling about civility or some other nonsense while getting their asses handed to them.
If you think Trump should get into squabbles with insignificant people like Rihanna, you need to grow up a bit.
Even schoolchildren realize the way to defeat people who tease you is to turn the tables on them.
Just imagine how Trump could have stung Rihanna if he had said something like, "I am so sad that I don't have Rihanna's support. I was really counting on the support of fine but barely-known performers from Barbados. What will I do without her?"
F*ck what you want. This isn't about you.
This is about saving the country, not crapping to stupid people.
Sheesh.
My ex-wife claimed I cheated on her while I was working out of town, when she was the one cheating and admitted it to my mom. One of her boyfriends even called and threatened to beat me up.
In the divorce, I let her have the house because I loved her kids (my stepkids).
She convinced my sisters that my giving her the house proved I was the one cheating and gave her the house out guilt.
They still believe her. I should have reacted more forcefully like Trump, Her kids still love me though and they know the truth
