Sorry for the shit source but sometimes the Daily Mail is best for American politics. Trump wasn't in court so the American media didn't care and it wasn't paying him any attention.

Donald Trump's very Jersey Shore rally: Ex-president boasts he ate a hot dog and mocks Chris Christie at oceanfront event that campaign claims attracted an 80,000-strong MAGA crowd | Daily Mail Online

'Let's talk about hot dogs. I just had one actually,' Trump declared. 'I just had a hot dog, it was very good.'

He segued into a story about how Frank Sinatra told him not to eat before a performance but he didn't take that advice because he was a 'politician,' while his other friend, Italian opera singer Pavarotti, gave no such advice.

Libs are no fun.

if a parent of yours started blurting out sentences like this you’d call a doctor and take their drivers license away

Sometimes Trump quotes read like a Robin Williams bit to me and I can hear it in his voice. This is one of those quotes.

Edit- spelling. Fuck you again autocorrect.

Like the time I caught the ferry over to Shelbyville. I needed a new heel for my shoe, so, I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. Give me five bees for a quarter, you'd say. Now where were we? Oh yeah: the important thing was I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. They didn't have white onions, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones.

Sinatra died in the 90s. Did Trump consider himself a politician then?

[–] Findom_DeLuise@hexbear.net 12 points 1 year ago

He talked a lot about running in 1987-1988, so sort of, yeah. He did the talk show circuit, and floated it on freaking Oprah.

Did he fucking mispronounce Pavarotti?

[–] ____ 1 points 1 year ago

Probably, see “dementia.”

Idk how veracious it is, but I have also heard that Pavarotti ate all the time. Like, dude legit had pasta plates in the back as one of his contract riders to play somewhere.
