Donald Trump returned to the White House vowing always to put America first. In recent days, even longtime US allies have found out the hard way that friendship has limits.

I don’t think Donald ever really had a friend in his life.

The closest he came to having a friendship was probably his relationship to Jeffrey Epstein because they both enjoyed the same “hobby”.

Also, have you ever seen Donald Trump laugh, or even smile?

[–] SGGeorwell@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Yes, but only for cruelty.

I see him smile, but you're right, I have no idea what his laughter sounds like and I don't ever want to hear it.
