Hey now, Chickens can put up a fight when they need to and are smarter than people think. Can we really say the same about trump?
This is kinda insulting to chickens. Chickens can be really nice and form bonds. Can we really say the same about trump.
When I had chickens I liked hanging out with them. The way the chased me when I had some food made me feel like I was in Jurassic Park.
I highly doubt hanging out with Trump would be that much fun. Unless I ran around holding a hamburger while he chased me. Maybe.
You could try dressing like a drag Ivanka. He'd come chasing you with tiny groping hands.
Edit: like a tiny, fat orange T-rex.
The takeaway from this thread is dressing as a tiny Ivanka disguised as a chicken will allow me to eviscerate small animals and form emotional bonds with humans, creating a band of wicked hobos while pursued across the desert island by fantasy-Trump, who has T-Rex arms with sharp claws

“Fake News. 60 Minutes begged for an interview, even after they were caught lying about Hunter Biden’s laptop back in 2020. There were initial discussions, but nothing was ever scheduled or locked in,” Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung said.
“They insisted on cutting out of the interview to do fact-checking,” Cheung added.
lol looks like the campaign knew he couldn’t help but lie and he’d be made to look like a fool.
Not lie... They knew he has dementia and was going to blow it by not answering a single question coherently.
I'm not kidding... He's legit got dementia. Watch any speech he's made this year. Dudes got poo-brain.
The world would be a lot better place if Trump had learned earlier in life to pull out.
*Trump Senior had learned to pull out.
If he had we’d all just be left with a hardened jizz rag, but now we have Eric Trump
Jesus fucking Christ! I saw this as I was at the end of a big drag on my pen and coughed for like 5 minutes. I thought I was gonna die and was totally ok with it.
So now the press will start howling about Trump dodging media questions, right?

Wants to be president

Afraid of 60 minutes reporters
Too tired. Very tired candidate.
Lots of people are saying it.
I saw people saying it on the television.
I get it though. The absolute safest thing Trump can do for himself is to shut the fuck up. I'd wager if he know how to shut up half the cases against him wouldn't exist. He'd still have done wrong, but he would have slid like everyone other billionaire who knows when to shut up.
I guess they realized that Harris' just-let-him-talk strategy was working.
Orange Chicken isn’t just a delicious Asian dish anymore, is it? 😂
Saw someone else reply with this to it and it kind of sent me a bit
Awesome!!! I thought a thought someone more creative than me thought! I’m in great company!
I would argue it never was. It's the lowest of Chinese cuisine. Fight me.
I’d never fight someone over their food opinion! Stand down soldier! 😆
I think it's a good barometer when trying a new Chinese restaurant. Like if they fuck up on orange chicken they're probably terrible in general. I do the same thing with Tikka Masala at an Indian place I'm trying for the first time.
Ha! I do the same with sesame chicken or Mongolian beef. Carne asada for Mexican restaurants.
They would have thrown him nothing but softball questions if he had gone. He can’t even handle that.
He has trouble in his own rallies with his own speeches.
Well he is the oldest presidential candidate...
Pussy bitch.
What a pussy

Scared little loser. Haha
During her interview Harris should just pause and ask 'what did my opponent say when you asked him the same question in his interview?' over and over again.
What a loser
Brave Sir Trump ran away,
Bravely ran away, away.
When danger reared its ugly head, he bravely turned his tail and fled.
Yes, brave Sir Trump turned about
And gallantly, he chickened out. Bravely taking to his feet,
He beat a very brave retreat,
Bravest of the brave, Sir Trump.
So i just sang that in my head. Its a good riff, not so catchy as to get lodged in my consciousness for weeks, but it's always there when I need it
superchicken rides again
Bah. 60 Minutes would just softball him and let him say whatever anyway. They’re not who they used to be, and who they used to be wasn’t that great to begin with.
Yep, yet he's still scared to go on there. It tells you a lot about just how bad he's gotten.
The loser is afraid the microphone would stay hot.
There was no benefit for him. He was only bound to lose voters getting in front of a real crowd not used to his BS.
