The secret sauce to Donald Trump: ‘I like to hang around with losers’

We now know why the war in Iran isn’t going well, why the economy is in the sh–tter, why everything the Trump does is a dumpster fire – because Donald Trump likes to “hang around with losers.”

Said it with his own lying lips.

At a public Q-and-A in Miami on Friday, Trump was asked “what leadership trait the world is missing right now.

“Well, it’s winning,” Trump started his ansewer, before mumbling something incomprehensible – people with cognitive issues do this – then going on to muse:

“The one thing about sports is you break it down into, you know, a two-hour period. You don’t have to wait a lifetime to find out, is somebody a winner or a loser? You got a lot of losers, mostly losers, fortunately,” said Trump, who has filed for bankruptcy either six or seven times, depending on the source.

“It’s a good thing to have a lot of losers,” Trump went on. “I always like to hang around with losers, actually, because it makes me feel better.”

This is what people with cartoonishly small hands would say.

“I hate guys that are very, very successful, and you have to listen to their success stories. I like people that like to listen to my success,” Trump said.

Only losers like JD Vance, Marco Rubio, Pam Bondi, will subject themselves to the public humiliation of nodding along as Trump lists his many successes, which include, inheriting $400 million from his daddy, and frittering it all away.
