Trump proceeds to explain that it was a $100,000-per-table fundraiser filled with deep-pocketed billionaires, and that the Marines werefor whatever reasongiven tables in the very back of the ballroom (the worst table in the whole place). Oh, and that he was more preoccupied with his ballrooms pristine marble floor than the octogenarian bleeding out on it.
So what happens is, this guy falls off right on his face, hits his head, and I thought he died. And you know what I did? I said, Oh my God, thats disgusting, and I turned away, said Trump. I couldnt, you know, he was right in front of me and I turned away. I didnt want to touch him hes bleeding all over the place, I felt terrible. You know, beautiful marble floor, didnt look like it. It changed color. Became very red. And you have this poor guy, 80 years old, laying on the floor unconscious, and all the rich people are turning away. Oh my God! This is terrible! This is disgusting! and you know, theyre turning away. Nobody wants to help the guy. His wife is screamingshes sitting right next to him, and shes screaming.
Thank God for the Marines. What happens is, these 10 Marines from the back of the room they come running forward, they grab him, they put the blood all over the placeits all over their uniformstheyre taking it, theyre swiping [it], they ran him out, they created a stretcher. They call it a human stretcher, where they put their arms out with, like, five guys on each side, shared Trump.
I was saying, Get that blood cleaned up! Its disgusting! The next day, I forgot to call [the man] to say hes OK, said Trump, adding of the blood, Its just not my thing.

(12,448 posts)He understands things only in relation to how they affect HIM. HE's disgusted, didn't want to touch the guy, worried about a "beautiful marble floor" and not the injured man.
THIS is what's in the White House. Don't tell me that was in the past and he's changed. Clearly, he hasn't. THAT is who he is.
