Trump WIMPS OUT, moves inauguration INDOORS -- too cold for the Tenderfoot-In-Chief !

Last edited Fri Jan 17, 2025, 11:05 PM - Edit history (1)

If you can't take the heat, stay out of the kitchen.

If you can't take the cold, crawl back to Mar-a-Lardo and hide in the bathroom/SCIF.

How will all the macho he-men on Xitter react when they hear their Manly Leader is a "weather wuss" ? Hell, this is GREAT weather for football, and the guy can't even give a speech ?!?

Certainly a desperate shortage of "Masculine Energy" there ! He's not half the man William Henry Harrison was -- he gave the longest inaugural speech on record ! A really, really big-league speech ! MUCH longer than Trump's ! And in the rain ! Trump looks like an even bigger wuss when he can't outdo a guy who's been dead for more than 80 years !

Be sure to share w/all your friends on Xitter/Truth


ETA: Rachel, guesting on Alex Wagner's hour, made the same point ! Not very reflective of the "Masculine Energy" the GQP supposedly is trying to project !

?w=750

So, the rich Harvard kid could take the cold, but the "reality" star couldn't ? What a snowflake -- well, a flake, anyway.

I probably wouldn't go if it was outside, and Harris as much as I might have wanted to. But, then again....

Kinda thinking along the lines of "If you're cold, they're cold. Bring them inside."

It would be terrible to deny a more comfortable environment to our outgoing President, his family, and other former Presidents, their spouses, and attendees. If any of them suffered adverse effects from the inhospitable outdoor conditions, it would be awful! Better safe than sorry.

(Spurrier was recently whining that CFP games at northern sites should be played in domes. I always knew the SEC would wimp out if they had to come to any northern sites after October and boy was that correct).

On the bright side, it looks like they are also moving the inauguration parade to the sports stadium. I guess they'll probably wind up having to run their tRump garbage truck around the track a few times.

This could be almost as embarrassing as his last parade with the empty viewing stands.

Priceless!

By all projections there was going to be a low turnout even if the weather was good and Donnie didn't want the embarrassment broadcast on global TV...

I guarantee you that if the projections were for record breaking turnout, Donnie would have everyone outside even in a blizzard
