His ear does have a graze at the top, such as a mild glancing blow from a bullet might cause.
People died that day, from being hit by the bullets meant for him.
So he was shot at.
Let’s move on.
“People died, let’s move on” What about thoughts and prayers, while you’re at it?
Don’t tell me he’s still wearing that patch. I would ask why he can’t heal like normal people do.
Heal. He grew it back. Only losers don’t grow their limbs back or die
Heal. He grew it back.
Is this where I’m supposed to make some sort of lizard-people reference?
Hsssssttt!
I’m such a loser.
Wounds can take ages to heal in old people.
Catch 22…what is the optimal healing time taking into account that the public loves the patch but too long healing means you’re old.
2 weeks average 3 days to look strong 4 weeks for sympathy
Everyone needs to chill out about this ear thing. It’s amazing what can be covered with a little bit of makeup. As much as I detest the man, I can see why he wouldn’t want to walk around with a visible ear cut. Women cover zits and blemishes with makeup as a matter of course. Do you think the orange douchewipe wants the focus on his ear? All presidents (and “presidents”) have makeup up people, and their job is to cover this kind of shit up and make the person look as flawless as possible.
Let’s leave the conspiracy theories to the conservatards.
That, and any 5 year old with a phone could mirror a photo
Do you think the orange douchewipe wants the focus on his ear?
I mean, yeah, I kinda do. I expected him to milk the assassination attempt for all it’s worth, and I don’t think that makes me a conspiracy theorist.
Some campaign adviser told him that a damaged ear presents as damaged goods, and it would be better to cover it. This is a man so concerned about his looks that he spray paints his face orange. His narcissism elevates the priority of his looks beyond any perceived sympathy (sympathy being a foreign concept to him). Even his rabid base depict him in their artwork as having a six pack abs. He is absolutely covering it up. If the blood was a prop then even his dumb handlers would be smart enough to apply a fake scab to keep the ruse going.
You’re right, I’m trying to apply logic and reason to Donald Trump, which is just silly of me
Yeah, and the dude got plenty of experience with makeup.
It’s amazing what can be covered with a little bit of makeup.
Because Trump is known for using a “little bit” of makeup. If he was using makeup on his ear, it would be to make it look worse, not to cover it up.
It’s been a long time since trump ever did his own makeup. He thinks the orange makes him look good, or maybe he even thinks it’s just his brand now. A blemished ear does not look good, even in the opinion of a man who thinks oranging his face rocks.
Except that he’s trying to play up the shot he took. It’s why his buddy Elon is making unpersons of people who show that his ear is fine.
#NotAllWomen
Makeup is a waste of time and money.
Based … if it weren’t that the fact that accounts getting banned for simply alluding to it is very real. The whole drama may be bullshit, but accounts getting banned for this isn’t. It is partisan censorship inside a major social network just using the drama as an excuse.
Men cover facial blemishes as well.
Knowing how Trump has played up his assassination attempt at every opportunity… He absolutely would want to bring attention to any damage to his ear.
I don’t really care one way or another about whatever drama is going on about his ear. I’m just saying, I don’t think he’d choose to use makeup to cover up any scars on his ear.
I’d believe you if he hasn’t been over the top with his theatrics around this.
Dude was wearing a pice of gauze the size of his ear just a week ago.
I am annoyed by folks who say “AR-15 Assault rifle” its a fucken AR-15 and im pretty sure the one used was at best in something closer to a range rifle or sharpshooter configuration. Most of what makes an assault rifle are pretty random but I feel like selective fire is a pretty important one. Aight gun rant over.
Also I wish BARs were more common cause I feel like theyd have a good hunting community due to being .308.
“Most of what makes an assault rifle are pretty random but I feel like selective fire is a pretty important one. Aight gun rant over.”
As someone trained in an army, it’s weird seeing American politics trying to pretend like being able to switch to full automatic is somehow a game changer, that that needs to be the line, that that is what makes a firearm properly dangerous. First off, you don’t use full auto really anywhere. You use semi-auto, double-shots, center-mass. Secondly, those “bump-stocks” are awful easy to make for the semi-autos already sold at supermarkets in the US.
Most of what makes an assault rifle is a somewhat large magazine capacity and semi-automatic firing. Look at pretty much any conflict since a bit after WWI. What were the major advantages of the M1 Garand, for instance? It’s not a huge mag, 8-round internal box magazine, but that added with the semi-automatic firing makes it far superior to any bolt-action rifle.
Point being if it shoots rather fast and has several bullets, you should probably have some regulations on it.
https://www.newyorker.com/news/daily-comment/the-simple-truth-about-gun-control
I think it’s because non-gun people see “AR-15”, hear it being called an assault rifle, and assume the AR stands for Assault Rifle. It doesn’t, it stands for ArmaLite Rifle, but good luck breaking that association in their minds.
Yeah I know, I just find it real fucken annoying, its like the term assault weapon. It means nothing and is literally just a buzz word, and I really wish folks would nock it off. Learn at least a modicum about firearms before ya start yapping, I dont mind if folks want to put slight restrictions around certain weapons just dont be stupid.
If ya think ya can create a gun completely out of 3D printed materials barrel and all. Well I have a carbon fibre submarine to sell ya.
And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
Out of context it sounds like something.
But add the lines right before and it’s more clearly fever dream gibberish of a dying old man:
And I saw a beast rising out of the sea, with ten horns and seven heads, and on its horns were ten diadems, and on its heads were blasphemous names. And the beast that I saw was like a leopard, its feet were like a bear’s, and its mouth was like a lion’s mouth. And the dragon gave it his power and his throne and great authority.
Did Trump come out of the sea? Does he look like a leopard with bear feet and a lion mouth?
People have been misunderstanding and trying to extend parts of that text to contemporary events since it was written.
You’re right, but it’s also funny that Christianity has generally streamlined taking things out of context. I just say "Revelation 13:3 and boom, that verse is cited out of context. Endless pamphlets, posters, sermons, and so on focus on bringing some verse without context.
I’ve not seen his feet, but he certainly has a lyin’ mouth
Mar-a-lago Spanish - sea to lake
There are 9 current trump towers. Moscow would make 10
7 heads with blasphemous names - TRUMP on the top
Feet of a bear -Russia is known as the bear in the west since early 20th century.
Lion mouth - have you heard him speak? (Who hasn’t, he’s loud, boisterous, like a lion)
As this comment shows it’s very easy to twist the meaning of something like this to suit your needs when viewing it through the lens of metaphor as the author intended. However, I’m fairly certain historians have figured out fairly definitively that the beast in revelations was always meant to depict Emperor Nero. I’m too lazy to look it up right now though so I could be wrong.
And some people believe this to be true.
And some peoeple are ACTIVELY TRYING TO BRING ABOUT THE END OF THE FUCKING WORLD.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_Mountain_Mandate
"The movement was generally supportive of the presidency of Donald Trump, with member Paula White becoming Trump’s spiritual advisor. White claimed that Trump “will play a critical role in Armageddon as the United States stands alongside Israel in the battle against Islam.”
https://newrepublic.com/article/167499/new-apostolic-reformation-mastriano-christian
See also anyone trying to rationalize Nostradamus prophecies. People love contorting things like that to somehow vindicate them.
Apocalyptic literature isn’t meant to be taken literally. It’s a common mistake though, even among so-called Christians. “Mouth like a lion” could mean boastful, roaring, brave, loud, threatening, or any number of things.
And yet I’ve not seen anyone figure out that the locusts in Revelations was just a poetic taxonomy for the local middle eastern hornet, Vespa Orientalis, down to the golden crown on its face.
People like to interpret those texts in all sorts of fantastical ways as long as it titillates them, but shy away from actually looking plainly at what’s being said.
So by all means don’t take it literally. But also maybe don’t think that a text written by a syphilitic old man in antiquity is talking about the 2024 United States presidential election without a more compelling case.
THIS SHIT ISN’T FUNNY ANYMORE
It’s so on-the-nose that I don’t even Trump is the parody anymore, it’s evangelical Christianity that’s the real parody. A group of folks who make a story about a socialist day laborer from the Middle East and use it to justify white supremacy, unfettered capitalism, and wealth as a measure of God’s love falling in line behind a cartoonishly accurate representation the “bad guy” in their book…exactly like their book said they would.
Elon Goebbels really seems to be working hard on this one.
If that’s an actual photo from today then I doubt he was grazed much because I skinned my knee biking the day before his rally. I’ve still got a giant scab there.
Also Pete Souza isn’t just anyone. He’s a former director of the White House photo office.
It probably means he’s on blood thinners. You’ll bleed like you cut an artery even with a tiny nick.
So he probably had a tiny cut that just bleed a lot because of blood thinners.
Could be, but then blood thinners also make the wound heal longer.
So he’s probably off them to let it heal fast and back on. If it’s just a nick, a day off doesn’t sound too drastic.
When your veins and arteries are lined with years’ worth of fast food grease, it could be pretty drastic actually
Most blood thinners work for 7 days after you stop taking them because that’s how long thrombocytes live in your bloodstream.
When your a 90 year old turd with a steady diet of trash, not taking blood thinners for a day might be your last day.
So it was a really small one then, ok.
the ear is also mostly cartilage, so i wouldnt be surprised if there was a lot of blood flowing through them constantly, especially at the very top of the ear where he was grazed. Very well could still be on blood thinners, but i think i would just expect the ear to bleed pretty aggressively in some cases.
My thoughts exactly. I was on them for a time and I’d bleed FOREVER if I cut myself shaving. That’s when I learned about styptic pencils and alum blocks.
Styptic stuff is amazing. I didn’t find out about it until I was in my late 30s
Stings like a bitch but sure does work
Similarly, I cut the crap out of my hand on a waterslide 2 weeks ago - grabbed the fiberglass side while trying to right myself so my kid wouldn’t get dunked - and it’s still healing. Close to being back to normal, but you can still clearly see where It was for sure
You wanna post the other 3/4 of these?
I’m not digging through an Instagram profile to look for that shit
Much appreciated
Question: As this is no longer a neutral platform, what would be the legal implications? Is Twitter still a neutral carrier (or whatever the proper term is) and enjoys far-reaching legal protections for this?
Nothing. Private company can block whoever they want from using their service. Doesn’t impact section 230 protections.
There is no such thing as a “neutral carrier” for social media. It’s a made-up concept used to pretend that a social media site isn’t allowed to be partisan.
There are zero legal ramifications for making Twitter as partisan as musk wants.
deleted by creator
Authoritarian? Definitely.
More biased? Be real, It’s just as biased, but just in the other direction post-musk.
I really don’t feel like it was extremely biased to the left before lol.
I dunno, I think it was pretty blatantly one sided. I have to assume most people who agree with the bias don’t tend to see it around them though.
I just remember arguing with wacko right wingers more then I liked lmao. Here we have a photographer getting banned, on old Twitter you had Alex Jones (and that took many years) or people literally throwing out casual violence who got banned.
Sure, he’s an asshole and a hypocrite. But there’s nothing “illegal” about it.
This is literally every “free speech” guy, with the possible exception of Julian Assange.
What’s a “neutral platform”? On Lemmy.world you get banned if you say something bad about israel.
Or Ukraine.
Nah, I see people who shit on ukraine a lot, and are pretty common to see in a lot of places. They have been here for a long time now, and are still going strong. So if higher visibility accounts, that lots of people know about, do it, I am gonna have to assume you either are full of shit, or you saw accounts with the fingerprint of bot behavior getting torched, and just decided it had to be due to having a negative opinion of Ukraine. That, or you are talking about people being out-right racist, or preaching violent rhetoric about it, cause that can get you banned, but it isn’t for the reason you are making it out to be, here.
Yeah I realized it was a Pro-Ukraine community, not the entirety of Lemmy that’s banning people for their views on Ukraine.
So you went into a private community, created to support Ukraine, and you are blaming lemmy.world, that they banned you? Because I have seen plenty of Ukraine critical stuff on lemmy.world, even stuff that borders on out-right ethnic bigotry, get to stay, because the accounts aren’t really breaking rules, and don’t act like bots.
Nah, I see people who shit on ukraine a lot
Sure, but I see that content regularly bombarded with take down notices, particularly when it’s a post.
Lemmy.world is highly allergic to anything that might be construed as anti-American or pro-non-western Evil Country.
That is different than being banned from the instance for what you say though.
The thing about banning people is that they don’t get to come back on here and argue with you over it.
And yet you post thousands of criticisms about Israel, exclusively, and I see that from you and others constantly. how are you circumventing the bans?
Inb4 “you support/defend/love Israel/genocide”: no I clearly don’t, I’m just pointing out that you’re flat out lying here. Simply criticizing Israel has likely never resulted in a single ban.
What do you mean i have been banned from both news and worldnews for exposing Hasbara.
Of course you post thousands of defenses of israel so you’re not banned.
Oh now it’s only certain communities. Before you claimed the instance banned users for any criticism of Israel. Goalposts on wheels I guess.
So once again, maybe you could cite a single instance where I ever defended Israel. One time. All you have to do is cite one example. You won’t though, because you know that a comment where I said Biden isn’t responsible isn’t going to convince anyone.
Only the biggest communities lmao. Censoring anti israel news because it got too hot under their heels.
Biden isn’t responsible for anything israel does sure dude. Biden never sent israell 2000 pound bombs to drop on schools or vetoes resolutions against israel at the UN. Anyone that claims otherwise should get banned from Lemmy.world right?
Deflecting and cramming words in my mouth are not examples of jackshit
And I’m sure your bans have nothing to do with the many public examples we have of you lying.
Indeed. The mods were banning anyone debunking now proven israeli lies about rape on oct7.
In classic Hasbara fashion you turn yourself into the victim while spouting all the lies you can think up.
First I’m hearing about it, because I have taken hot creamy shits on Israel before. Guess I’m banned ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I got banned for taking steamy dumps on israel. Many other users have too.
And yet this thread is full of users who claim the opposite experience. Guess you’re totally not lying.
So you’re saying .world did not ban me
Why would I need to say an obvious fact which fully contradicts your point? You are still here, able to lie your ass off on lemmy.world. claiming to be banned, which you clearly should be for spreading lies, but you aren’t.
Ah so you support israeli lies about rape on oct7?
I frequently state the fact that Israel is a genocidal apartheid ethnostate that has “Jewish supremacy” as the basis of its existence and should be abolished, and I haven’t been banned anywhere on lemmy.world for it
People shit on israel all the time here. I know I do. Guess I am banned.
That doesn’t seem right. Israel is conducting a genocide. Why would they be protected?
They aren’t, but this user’s life work is saying anyone they don’t approve of is supporting awful people and actions. Why they aren’t actually banned for that toxic behavior is a mystery to me. Then they have the audacity to lie so brazenly: that the thing they do all day every day is banned behavior. They’re so oppressed!
It really is funny how it’s always the loudest people who cry about being “censored” when people don’t agree with them or dare call them out for their shitty behaviour. Linkerbaan acts as if he doesn’t have a reputation for his behaviour, and as if we can’t look through modlogs and his posting history to see if he really is being censored or not. Which, of course, he isn’t.
When are people actually going to leave that hellsite in meaningful numbers?
When there is a good enough alternative to Facebook/Twitter/reddit/ticktok
Why do we suddenly need an alternative to something we could live without just fine before?
Yet you’re here on Lemmy?
That is a disingenuous argument. People lived just “fine” before just about everything. People use those services because they derive value from it.
When they don’t also deepthroat Netflix after they banned password sharing. All the optimistic people, me included, said “oh this will make a huge dent in Netflix what a stupid move.” But they read the room like a hawk.

The West has created the perfect neutered, obedient consumers who will drink whatever coolade they are given. Until we have enough people who are willing to challenge convenience and stop bowing at the altar of comfort, we will have no meaningful change.
coolade
Kool-AidDon’t blame me for this confusing bastardization of the English language, thank a guy from Nebraska literally 100 years ago.
If you want to be historically accurate, it should be Flavor Aid, but people mistakenly said Kool-Aid and it stuck https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flavor_Aid
Uhh no actually I think that was a knockoff competitor brand cause that said 1929 and I’m pretty sure it was a guy Named Perkins in the earlier 20s.
I think that’s just something else. The original is Kool-aid
I was talking about the mis-attribution of the brand name Kool-Aid in the phrase “drank the Kool-Aid” as a result of Jonestown… they actually drank Flavor Aid
Ohhhhh…
Wow cheap even until the end that they bought Walmart generic.
I mean why take the good stuff with you right?
That’s hilarious though thanks for that correction I was definitely confused.
The expression is “drank the Kool-Aid”, but it should be Flavor-Aid, because that’s what the cultists actually drank while committing suicide.
It wasn’t really a suicide thing. Maybe for some of them, it was. But they were forced to drink that flavour aid at gunpoint if they didn’t drink it willingly or manage to flee into the jungle. So it was more of a massacre than a mass suicide. Or a massacre plus a mass suicide, as I’m not sure what portion had to be forced.
Sounds good. I haven’t read up on that any time recently so my memory was hazy. The main point I was trying to make was the Flavor-Aid vs Kool-Aid, though, which stands.
Yup… Yeah wow learn something new every day. Like cults don’t splurge for name brand even for ritual suicide.
Honestly it was a bit weird everyone on social saying Netflix was about to die. They would spend millions on market research. Thousands of man hours, and the usage data to support it.
It’s pretty arrogant to conclude that you know better.
I don’t really mean you specifically. This happens often with large companies. Like people thinking reddit would die.
Twitter is a special case though IMO. It was shit to start with, and it’s become aggressively partisan.
Twitter is a special case though IMO. It was shit to start with, and it’s become aggressively partisan.
Yep. Because Twitter is now a far-right social media. Just like Gab and Truth Social. I don’t know why so many people don’t get that.
Just on the face of it, why would Netflix even have been concerned that this change would hurt their bottom line? The bulk of the people that the change pissed off weren’t paying for the service to start with!
The West has created the perfect neutered, obedient consumers who will drink whatever coolade they are given.
Do you imply that this is specific to Western country?
Because the number of things Chinese consumers just accept is astonishing. They have been using “pay with your face” payment method for a while, and people are just rolling with it. https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/China-tech/Pay-with-your-face-100m-Chinese-switch-from-smartphones I think there’s a bigger percentage of privacy focused people in EU and NA than anywhere else.You even got people on the left saying “I won’t vote for the less bad politician unless he makes me excited to vote”. When did everyone get so selfish?
Got people in the center being like “we love bad politicians because they do everything we want. Fuck you, you’re voting like we tell you” and then they expect that shit to work.
Look at what happened when the party listened and gave us a candidate who could fog a mirror and who might not be as happy with genocide as centrists want.
One doesn’t need to be a Leftie to be wary of voting for a guy supporting with weapons ethno-Fascists commiting mass murder, including bombing playgrounds and sniping children playing in their own homes, even if the other guy is also a Fascist.
It’s not by chance that merelly replacing Biden it Kamala quickly started to bring back such voter.
The only way to think that being in the least of ways humane and not agreeing with mass murder of children is a “leftwing” thing is if you live in a country with an Overtoon Window shifted so far to the right that almost all of the political spectrum is either Fascism or pro-Oligarchy.
You’re right. The people who put their principles above Palestinian lives aren’t left wing. They’re centrists. An actual leftist puts helping others first. Voting Democrat reduces the harm that others suffer. Abstaining does nothing to help anyone. But there are some people who will choose to let brown people in the middle east die, when they could have easily prevented it, if it means they get to have clean hands and avoid some kind of misplaced guilt. They think for some reason that a vote equals a bomb, and that choosing to be a centrist means opting out of responsibility for their government’s actions. They think they can live all alone in their white middle class suburban bubble. That their inaction means they can’t have any of the blame laid at their feet. They pay taxes to the US government, which uses the taxes to buy bombs to kill Palestinians, and these centrists think that choosing not to take responsibility for how their tax dollars are spent makes them guiltless. And that taking on a guilty conscience by accepting responsibility, is a bigger price to pay than genocide and war.
So let me get your position straight:
The people voting egarly for the warcriminal government: not responsible for their governments actions
The people so disgusted by their governments actions such that they vote 3rd party: completely responsible for their governments actions
You’re Canadian right? Go yell at people to vote in your election
Yep, you got my position straight. See, the difference is whether they’re taking action to mitigate the impact of their taxes. If you do nothing, it’s your fault. If you try to make it right as best you can, it’s not your fault.
Like I said, these non voters think votes turn into bombs and not dollars. They think every bomb dropped on Gaza has a little ballot slip in it with Joe Biden’s name on it. Us leftists know that votes for the best candidate do not make the problem worse.
But voting for the second in command for the guy that was just bypassing congress to send weapons to the occupation doesn’t seem to be ‘taking action’ it seems to be rewarding people for participating in a slaughter (wringing your hands as you send ammunition still counts as sending ammunition)
You have just come up with a conclusion that makes you feel good personally and are vomiting word garbage to attempt to justify it to other people.
I too am a very left leftist and that’s why this election I will check notes do exactly what the far right rightists want by voting for a third party. There will be no genocide after we elect Jill Stein, which is realistic because if she had triple the popular votes last time she could have beat libertarian Gary Johnson. There is no possible downside because there will certainly be no genocide with the far right rightists running on a platform of bigotry while saying they will have dictatorship, that Israel should nuke Gaza, that the world should let Russia run roughshod over Ukraine.
That satire of yours is entirelly anchored on a False Dilema Falacy.
I’m agreeing with you, friend. Mathematically only one of two candidates has any chance whatsoever. That’s why I, a very far left leftist, will do exactly what is desired by the further right of the two parties. That will achieve leftism because of reasons.
When other social medias also let’s artists post NSFW alongside regular users for maximum exposure.
When governments and corporations do
Except the governments and corporations are there because that’s where most of the people are.
Users are still so ignorant to the fact that they are actually the product that Twitter sells. Some of them even pay for that privilege. 🙄
Can we revoke his government contracts now?
I mean, they didn’t even do that when he literally fucked up a Ukrainian operation against Russia.
Money rules this country. It stopped being a democratic republic a long time ago.
So it was just a glass shard from the teleprompter…
A glass shard from a teleprompter struck by a bullet. If the dude had aim worth a shit, it could have been much worse (for Trump).
To be fair to the shooter lol he was 400 yards away and the adrenaline he was feeling must have been absurd
120 yards. a difficult shot still tho with the hardware
Bastion of free speech
This speech wasn’t quite free enough sorry
well how bout that
I giggle every time I read or hear, “AR Assault Rifle”.
The “AR” in “AR-15” doesn’t stand for “Assault Rifle” though. It stands for “Armalite-15”. Armalite being the company that originally developed the modular firing mechanism that we all know today. Technically speaking, the only part that is legally classified as a gun is the actual firing mechanism that Armalite developed; Everything else (like the barrel, stock, and handle) is just add-ons and accessories.
So yeah, calling it an AR-15 assault rifle would be correct. Though there’s also the debate on what actually constitutes an “assault rifle”, as people seem to just use a “you’ll know it when you see it” rule for identifying assault rifles.
If the AR is for the AR-15, then you’re mistaken on the meaning. That doesn’t stand for assault rifle. It’s for Armalite, the original developer of the gun.
Armalite Rifle Assault Rifle is a bit clumsy. But people get so intensely hung up on the jargon because they’re angry the conversation is even happening.
Guy with a locker full of guns shits the bed when his son goes on a murder spree, and then we all get an earful about how we don’t know enough about guns to understand why he was a reckless owner.
AR is just for Armalite, not Armalite rifle. Anyway, ywa it doesn’t matter.
It’s an entirely innocuous statement. What are they supposed to say instead?
- “15 Assault Rifle” or “Assault Rifle 15” just makes no sense.
- “AR-15” isn’t understood by all people to mean an assault rifle, since not everyone knows gun names.
- “Assault Rifle” doesn’t tell people which kind of assault rifle it is, since the AR in AR-15 stands for ArmaLite.
It’s a statement that gives the most possible context to the reader about:
- What design of assault rifle it is
- What type of gun it is in general
- While also allowing readers to then learn the definition of the sole term “AR-15” over time
Any other president that cared for the American people would have offered and grieved for the Americans that got shot that day.
No one knows about them…
No one hears about them…
Only know what around the internet, were others shot? Casualties?
2 dead and 3 injured.
I thought it was 1 dead 2 injured. That’s what’s on Wikipedia.
Corey Comperatore, the volunteer fire chief was the one who died. Was there another?
Wikipedia does say 2+3. (Including the shooter and Trump). Scroll up to the summery.
Oh, right, yeah. The question was whether others were shot. I didn’t think they were concerned about the shooter and obviously Trump wasn’t seriously hurt.
Biden actually reached out to the widow of the retired Fire Chief. She refused his call because her dead husband wouldn’t want her talking to Biden.
Trump never bothered to reach out, but did hold her up as a prop at the RNC.
