North Dakota Governor and Trump 2024 running mate hopeful Doug Burgum on Sunday morning tried to downplay the New York Times’s reporting on fat former President Trump’s Saturday night meltdown at a “retreat” for rich donors and other Vice Presidential contenders at Mar-a-Lago. Per the Times, “attendees were not authorized to speak publicly about the event, which was a closed-door briefing and gathering for party donors,” at which the orange slob complained President Joe Biden is running “a Gestapo administration. And it’s the only thing they have. And it’s the only way they’re going to win, in their opinion, and it’s actually killing them. But it doesn’t bother me.”
In remarks the Times compared to Mitt Romney’s infamous “47 percent” line, Trump also said “When you are Democrat, you start off essentially at 40 percent because you have civil service, you have the unions and you have welfare. And don’t underestimate welfare. They get welfare to vote, and then they cheat on top of that – they cheat.” All this Burgum insisted was “largely very upbeat.”
