“It got dirty”: Trump bizarrely suggests that Biden has S–t on his Oval Office desk at billionaire fundraiser

Suggest Americans inject disinfectant into their veins. Claimed that people believed he was treated worse than Abraham Lincoln. Claims wind turbines are killing whales. Claims that environmental regulations are forcing people to flush the toilet “10 times, 15 times versus once.” During Donald TrumpHaving lived on earth for 77 years, he has had many strange remarks come out of his mouth. That streak continued into the weekend, when he reportedly suggested to a group of billionaires that Joe Biden literally defecated on a piece of White House furniture.

Correct, New York Times reported that at a fundraiser in Palm Beach on Saturday night, the Republican presidential candidate in fact told a crowd of extremely wealthy guests that Biden had made many bad decisions currency around the Resolute Desk, which has been used by two dozen American presidents, starting with Rutherford. B. Hayes. “The Resolute table is beautiful,” Trump said. “Ronald Reagan used it, other people used it.” Then, according to one attendee spoke with time, “And he’s using it,” Trump said of Biden. Maybe next time I won’t use it. It was dirty. And I mean that literally, sadly.” People who witnessed the remarks recounted it time that the guests laughed — and according to the newspaper, “Trump’s comment was interpreted as the former president saying Mr. Biden had defecated on his desk.”

The Trump family has a very strange history when it comes to defecation. In her book confident man, Maggie Haberman reported that while living in the White House, Trump would invite visitors to see his bathroom and then boast that he had remodeled it, including the toilet, after Barack Obama moved out. In the final week of Trump’s presidency, The Washington Post reported that Secret Service agents were assigned to guard duty Ivanka Trump And Jared Kushner forced to rent a nearby studio so they could use the bathroom, as the couple wouldn’t allow them to use one of the six in their house; Rent costs the government $3,000 per month. (However, a Secret Service spokesperson confirmed, “Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner did not deny Secret Service agents access to their home to include use of the restroom.”)

In addition to making his truly bizarre—and almost certainly untrue!—claim about Biden, Trump also used the Palm Beach dinner to smear immigrants, saying: “Here are people from prisons and detention centers. They come from unbelievable places and countries, countries that are disasters.” Seemingly referring to a controversial event during his presidency—referring to African countries and Haiti, he asked a group of lawmakers, “Why do we have all even the people who come here from these wretched countries?” and said he liked people from places like Norway—Trump told his dinner guests, “When I say, you know, Why can’t we allow people from other countries? Kind country, I’m trying to be kind. Nice countries, you know, like Denmark, Switzerland? Do we have anyone from Denmark? What about Switzerland? What about Norway?” He added: “And you know, they took it as a very terrible comment, but I felt like it was fine.”

Commenting on migrants specifically from Yemen, the former president described their country as a place “where they attack each other everywhere.” As for those from Latin America: “They have been transported, brought in, sent into our country and they will be with us tonight. Actually, I don’t think they’re on this island, but I know they’re on that island. That’s West Palm,” Trump said, appearing to gesture toward the water. “Congratulations there. But they will be here. They will get here eventually.” (Like time note, Palm Beach, where the fundraiser took place, is 93.8% white. By contrast, West Palm Beach, the area Trump is targeting, is nearly one-third black and one-quarter Hispanic.)

Of course, it wouldn’t be a Trump gathering if it didn’t include some kind of apocalyptic threat (“This may very well be the last election this country will ever have,” he warned newspaper). And it certainly won’t be Trump’s one billionaire gatherings if the rich’s bottom line isn’t addressed: Former president “emphasized tax cuts under his administration,” according to report time, “and asked attendees whether they preferred that measure or his regulations allowing them to take advantage of specific debt forgiveness.”

A Trump campaign official did not address any specific remarks by the candidate when asked for comment by the campaign. time, instead points to an official announcement of the event. “Trump has talked about the need to take back the White House so we can turn the country around, focusing on key issues including unleashing energy production, protecting our southern border , reduce inflation, extend Trump tax cuts, eliminate Joe Biden’s madness.” [electric vehicle] authorization, protect Israel and avoid global war,” a campaign official told NBC News.
