Trump is speaking about Mayor Pete once more. Is Mayor Pete nonetheless a mayor? Nope. Is he nonetheless the Secretary of Transportation? Nope. Does he presently have a job? It would not seem so. However he’ll at all times be Mayor Pete, and apparently, the President of the US has nothing higher to do along with his time than take into consideration, obsess over, and discuss concerning the presumably now-unemployed Mayor Pete. Why? As a result of Mayor Pete has the audacity to journey a motorbike.
It is a very regular factor to do. I imply, absolutely, you keep in mind all of the occasions Obama took day out of his day to disparage Mary Peters, proper? No? Oh. Effectively, we all know Trump is obsessive about petty grievances, however why the bike factor? Why is probably the most highly effective man on the earth obsessive about Some Man in Traverse Metropolis who likes to journey a motorbike?
If we had any proof that Trump may journey a motorbike or do something extra athletic than swing a golf membership, that will be one factor. As a substitute, the one potential conclusion is that he is simply jealous Mayor Pete can journey a motorbike, and Trump seemingly can’t.
Trump cannot journey a motorbike
Do not get me improper. I might like to see Trump attempt to journey a motorbike. If the rumors that Trump cannot journey a motorbike are false, and he can display that on digital camera, then I’ll eat my phrases and admit I am improper. All Trump has to do to show me improper is get on a motorbike, journey it an inexpensive distance on digital camera, and do it with none help or coaching wheels, and everybody who says he cannot journey a motorbike will appear like fools. Idiots, even.
It must be consuming Trump up inside that some dorky, former McKinsey marketing consultant can simply do one thing he in all probability cannot and by no means will have the ability to do. Even when Trump did know journey a motorbike in some unspecified time in the future, you may’t inform me with a straight face that he can nonetheless do it now. He has a well-established concern of train, in any case.
Trump will not journey a motorbike
Sadly, there’s mainly no probability Trump will ever grace our eyes with the hilarious, endlessly replayable footage of him attempting and failing to journey a motorbike. It will be an unbelievable factor to see, however it’s going to by no means occur. Actually, at a speech in Memphis in 2022, Trump made that very clear, saying, “I make this pledge to you in the present day. I’ll by no means, ever journey a bicycle,” after his opponent, Joe Biden, rode a motorbike at 79 years younger took a tumble from his personal bike.
After all, it is sort of arduous to journey a motorbike if you do not know how, however Trump’s public aversion to driving bikes has truly been a factor for a lot longer. Again in 2020, he additionally instructed voters, “I will by no means be driving a bicycle. I am not getting damage driving a bicycle.” The person is not constant about a lot, however at the very least he is been constant about not driving a motorbike. Effectively, that and tariffs. Additionally, dishonest on his wives.
Trump additionally took a shot at one other veteran who truly is aware of journey a motorbike approach again in 2015. Trump mocked Secretary of State John Kerry for a motorbike accident, saying, “I’ll cease Iran from getting nuclear weapons. And we cannot be utilizing a person like Secretary Kerry… goes right into a bicycle race at 72 years outdated, and falls and breaks his leg. I will not be doing that. And I promise I’ll by no means be in a bicycle race. That I can let you know.”
Was Kerry competing in a motorbike race on the time of his crash? After all not. He was simply driving a motorbike as a result of it is a regular, wholesome exercise that extra of us of their 70s ought to do recurrently. Docs adore it when older folks get constant, low-impact train. However even again then, Trump made it clear. You will not see him driving a motorbike. And whereas he would really like you to assume it is due to security, you and I each know it is pure jealousy, as a result of he in all probability cannot journey a motorbike and Mayor Pete can.
