Trump's pathetic stunt in front of a Kenosha business

Don Moynihan @donmoyn
Trump did a photo-op in front of a Kenosha business with its owner. "A day earlier would have saved his store,” said Trump. But it wasn't the real owner, who had refused to join the photo-op. So Trump just pretended a prior owner was still in charge. https://t.co/JLXfDmhLSz?amp=1

Just believe whatever they’re fed ...that’s why I put a lot of blame on the media for always giving him such positive spin.

I know it’s not the current owner’s priority, or even a legal case, but I would be making noises about suing that former owner for defamation.

Trump missed the putt on the COVID-19 response. He “choked” and failed to provide adequate testing and endorsing mask use. He’s a “choker” and a LOSER.

This guy used to own the camera shop but apparently he still owns the building it's in. They could have told the truth and gotten a friggin photo op for Trump with a Cult45 business owner but noooo they CHOSE TO LIE instead.

From the linked (in original pic) news article...
https://www.tmj4.com/news/local-news/kenosha-business-owner-declines-president-trump-photo-op-former-owner-replaces-him

"John Rode III, owner of Rode’s Camera Shop,” President Trump said as he introduced Rode during a round table conversation on Tuesday.

Rode does not own Rode’s Camera Shop. However, he does own the property, located at 2204 Roosevelt Road in Kenosha, the site of Rode's Camera Shop.


Trump deliberately LIES even when the truth would work for him and the stupid cult45 building's owner just goes along with it like the koolaid suck up he is.

He’s always gotta hustle and pose for the camera. Rode looks like he’s having an out of body experience - he’s there and not there as tRump uses him.

I’d like to hear more from Gram, the actual owner of the business.

This was all faked.
Fake business owner.
And the real fake was that Trump didn't even fly on Air Force One
Trump would never fly on a shithole airplane.
https://www.facebook.com/Fox32Chicago/videos/2683477811940699/

The Trumpies all know this was faked, because the REAL Air Force One has a bump on it's head.
This one does not...and it flew to Illinois..not fake Dem-run Wisconsin.

So there's a conspiracy for ya Russians lurking about in here..
