Trump Doubles Down On Wild Flight Of 'Thugs' Conspiracy Theory | The 11th Hour | MSNBC

[bartw]

Feel so sorry for American people, it used to be a civilized Country

[civil_villain]

Yup, thugs dressed all in black, with "gear", and less than three ounces of fluid are allowed on all public flights...

[jw]

Sounds like Air Force One flying into Kenosha.

[markrieck]

Let me guess the name of the source. Karen.

[Nigglebaun]

Maybe they won't talk to you because they don't exist.

[DavidJ]

Good grief!! Trump's dementia is progressing rapidly. Trump is clearly talking about the 1980s movie Airplane. 😆

[peterblood]

Someone did something someplace and if I can get the guy who said it, he'll tell you. In other words, I got nothin'.

[joehodgson]

It's like watching a little kid doubling down on an outlandish lie he's told: which would be amusing, if he weren't the President.

[RalphM]

Why would I fly somewhere to do looting. I mean how I’m I gonna get the loot back home???

[mynameisworld]

"It was frightening. The plane filled almost entirely with people who were wearing masks! The masks were flaps of fabric that covered the nose and mouth and had loops over the ears. Scary!" 🙄

[lchjr]

It’s always “someone”, or “they”, or “them”; trump is really bad with names, or a complete liar.

[AdamTait-hyqh]

How can anybody support this so-called "person"?

[DavidJ]

Ingraham: "So Mr. President, you clearly have a deficit among female voters, because they say you're too aggressive with your tone, your tweets. What would  you say to them directly, about what you'll do in a second term?

Trump: "I would say that I moved on her, and I failed. I’ll admit it. I did try and ef her. She was married. And I moved on her very heavily. In fact, I took her out furniture shopping. She wanted to get some furniture. I said, ‘I’ll show you where they have some nice furniture.’”

I moved on her like a beetch, but I couldn’t get there. And she was married. Then all of a sudden I see her, she’s now got the big phony teets and everything. She’s totally changed her look.

Yeah, that’s her, with the gold. I’ve got to use some Tic Tacs, just in case I start kissing her. You know I’m automatically attracted to beautiful — I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. I just kiss. I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do whatever you want. Grab them by the p. You can do anything."

[jw]

What a mad man! He’ll say anything at any time about anything—and his lackies and base will swear to it.

[kqgmzcx]

This is the funniest story ever “Thugs on a plane” 😂😂🤣🤣

[ralphbernhard]

A President who believes everything "a person" told him.
Yup. "I heard..." seems to be the new intelligence briefing.

[wileyschmitt]

"There was a 'person' on a plane, and he near a 'woman' who was with a 'man' who had a 'camera', and they were later rioting on 'TV'."

[younglee]

The loser does do excuses on and on because the loser doesn’t have any confidence at all.
He is over already. lol.

[gadi]

To quote a great statesman "Don't boo, VOTE"!

[KesselRunner]

Well, at least the world no longer laughs at America.

We shake our heads in abject pity.
