    Of course he wouldn’t. It’d involve him giving a shit about someone other than himself, for a start. Then he’d have to shift his ponderous arse out of his own way to actually get off it and move.

      Literally the only time he’s honest is when he’s talking about doing something terrible

    He does legitimately seem to prefer little girls, but he still wouldn’t have even bothered if he had every opportunity to come out safely and looking like a hero.

    In his fucked up logic I have a sense of now but will never understand he’d be weakened by that display of heroism.

    His parents fucked him up but good.

      He already showed us this once in 2020. He had the world’s softest ball thrown at him to spike his image, and he still fumbled it because his own personal belief system wouldn’t let him just tell people “look, stay at home, work from home, wear masks in public until we figure this shit out” without a profit motive SOMEWHERE.

      His experience is women are replaceable. He might prefer girls, but he wouldn’t treat one with any more kindness or respect.

    We all know that if trump ever actually steps so much as a toll into the sea he would dissolve. The bronzer is all that’s holding him together.

    Also, rethorically perfectly fine. His language does tend to follow common phrases but only is tangentially similar anyway.

    Could have said something along the lines: don’t know if I could have done it. Probably couldn’t. Probably wouldn’t. I don’t know.

    His inner monologue is spoken out loud and his social filter barely exists. This isn’t news.

    He can make anything sound respect less, that being said.

      Are you by any chance German, or Dutch, or Danish, or a few others I’m sure? I’m Dutch and we would also literally translate it to respectless (respectloos in Dutch, just like tactless = tactloos), but in English you’d say “disrespectful.” ;)

      Logical. But remember, Trump believes he’s the best at anything and everything.

      “I know all about xyz. Nobody knows more about xyz than me”.

      In his mind, he could do it if there was something in it for him, but he wouldn’t, because there isn’t.

      Quite possibly, this is one of the only times in his life he’s actually told the truth about anything.

      Yes, but the president was kind enough to invite this young man over to the white house to tell him to his face, in front of his father.

        Sure, bit even in his prime, as a fit and able young man, Trump would not have lifted a finger to assist someone else in need.

        But, should the kid have died, he would take the time to generate about ten images of him saving the kid, while saying the died because of Biden/Democrats/whatever is on his dark, decrepit mind.

      To borrow a joke from The Amazing World of Gumball:

      “If you were drowning at the bottom of the ocean and you saw this coming to your rescue, you would swim downwards!”

    I won’t save Trump if I was that lifeguard. Oh dear what a shame, this fat fuck can’t swim, oh well…
