Well, there are so many, but I was sure this one must be fake. Apparently not. So ridiculous. You have to be a true Dope to follow a madman like this.
"I've served this country with everything I have and stopped many wars. Some say I've stopped over 100 wars… And yet I've never taken a single penny as payment… I've worked hard, very hard, much harder than the hardest working Americans. Personally I would donate to a man like that."
O M G. There is no end to this man's narcissism.
I still think this may be fake. Gemini assures me it is not, but AI does make mistakes. The 'over 100 wars' gives me pause. Is Trump that delusional? Maybe.

Yes, this appears to be a genuine quote that circulated as a post from Donald Trump on Truth Social.
The text matches posts discussed and analyzed in political commentary and media tracking channels regarding his social media statements. It features his characteristic rhetorical style—such as referencing what "some say," highlighting his decision to donate his presidential salary ("never taken a single penny"), and using self-referential praise to implicitly encourage donations or support.

The Onion? Borowitz? I can’t remember.
Anyway, SOMEONE reminded us a few days ago that he’s already stopped the Iran War 38 times.
So yes! Perhaps his claim is true (if you stand on one foot and close your eyes when you hear the claim)

Read it again. He wants people to send him more money. Apparently, $2.2B of *declared* income in one year is not enough.

Narcissistic self pity is a revolting thing to watch in real life, and this has all the hallmarks.
The level of self delusion..
The level of “nobody appreciates me”
The level of “everyone has betrayed me”
Having watched the disintegration of such personalities before- I know what may well comes next……
And let’s just say it’s not pretty.. and let’s also remind ourselves that he is CIC of the armed forces and has access to nuclear codes…… and has been fishing around for sole authority to launch them.
