    I find it funny how MAGSts spend all this effort creating photos of Trump looking and acting how they envision him in their heads - because he’s never going to do or be any of them.

    • Naked with chiseled abs? Nope
    • Interacting with his followers? Nope
    • Wading through the floodwaters? Nope
    • Slender? Nope
    • Cradling or caring for children? Nope. Well, not released yet anyway
    • Leading a charge into battle? Nope

    Love how all of the sudden, Facebook is now the expert at identifying AI pictures, despite constantly falling for them almost every time.

      On the other hand, wearing jeans in water is just the sort of stupid thing he might do, like looking at the sun during an eclipse.

    If it were real, that’d be an incredibly dangerous thing to do–even with a life preserver vest–and a physically taxing one, as well. Neither of which Trump would be doing.

      I mean, drowning is kind of the least of your worries in those situations.

      NEVER walk through even suburban flood waters unless it is life or death. Because you know those things called “sewers”? Yeah, they are under there. And if the water has reached the point where it is even a foot off the ground? Then those sewers are entirely(-ish) full and that “water” contains significant amounts of poo, medical waste, chemicals, and so forth. Let alone corpses of animals… and people.

      So that is basically liquid hepatitis and Erastil knows what else.

      It is also why you NEVER buy a car that has been in a flood area and houses really should be basically demolished at that point (but aren’t because Capitalism).

          A sealed casket is buoyant. If a cemetery is flooded, caskets, especially of the recently deceased with disturbed soil, are known to rise through the soil and then dump their contents (bodies) into the floodwaters.

          It’s not about flushing them but I would imagine that graveyards that are below sea level have the bodies in mausoleums and many of those you can walk into so it would not surprise me that places near the ocean might have a rotted corpse.

          1. You would be amazed what people flush down their toilets
          2. You do realize there are other people in that flooded area too, right? Those “missing” folk? Hopefully all of them show up at a Waffle House two counties over. The reality is… many of them are still there in that horrific soup.

    Of course it is. Nothing in his history would make anyone sane believe he’d be anywhere near active flood waters. Or even wear a safety vest on the first place.

    Gotta downvote this link to a horrible site. So many ads and pop-ups, and I never saw the picture in question

    They had to. It’s far too dangerous for him to be near actual water. If his diaper gets too saturated it will drag him under.

    … a good percentage of them will fall for this image.

      It wouldn’t surprise me if some of them still thought that the mission accomplished press release was a big win for W.

    I mean what would even be the purpose of intentionally wading through water? Don’t they usually do fly overs to view the aftermath?

    Even if this was true, it would just be evidence that he did a stupid PR stunt for votes…
