He's really been innovating in the "Crying Sir Story" space. These used to have some arguable relationship to a point he was making, now it's devoid of content, just totally unmoored from reality, a fantasy about crying tough men thanking him for anything and everything.

"A man came up to me. A tough man. A man who -- a worker, a construction worker. Real worker, and he looked at me -- this is two years ago -- he said, 'Sir, you have given us back our life.' And he was crying." -- Trump

1. All these toughguy stories, and not one of them captured on video for posterity

Isn't that weird?

[Nevilledog]

2. And how is it a positive that all his tough guy supporters are always crying?

They sound like wimps.

[Shrike47]

3. Hell, he never gives a name, a place...you'd think he'd at least know the crying general's name.

And how does this worker guy get close to him and start a conversation? The Secret Service just waves him through?

[dalton99a]

5. Probably one of these

[world wide wally]

6. I guess that's Trumps badass face pose.

Same face he made when he was pretending to drive a truck.

[IowaGuy]

12. Same duck face a 13 year old girl makes when posing in front of the bathroom mirror for a selfie

[onethatcares]

19. nah, he's trying to keep his

lips from making that cats ass thing it always does.

[WyattKansas]

15. Apparently his lawless biker gimmick didn't catch on...

Because a lot of them are aged and on Social Security now.

Oh, and for someone to spout off about 'law and order' all the time, why in the Hell is he always aligning himself with unlawful or lawless groups and personifications in the United States and around the world?
Media?... Call him and his supporters out on his 'law and order' lie.

[TheBlackAdder]

17. Yeah, there's just a billion cameras around... yet like Sasquatch, no real footage can be found.

.

Like how Earth is flat, yet no one walks to the edge of it.

4. It's a variation

on his "A world leader called me the other day and told me that their forest cities have trees that are much more flammable than our trees yet they can keep wildfires under control".

I used to think he was straight up bullshitting but the more I hear his insane rambling I'm guessing they were dreams and he really thinks they happened.

[procon]

7. Everytime he uses "Sir", he's lying.

He's the only one who ever refers to himself as, "Sir".

[muriel_volestrangler]

8. He keeps hearing people give examples of how empathetic Joe Biden is

and so he thinks he needs to make up stories with some "tough guy" who is so overcome with admiration for Trump.

Of course, the difference is that the actual people who were comforted, encouraged etc. by Biden tell the stories, or it's recorded on video. So we know they're true. While Trump's stories not only have no evidence, they fly in the face of everything we know about him being unable to relate to a human being.

9. I was wondering what happened to that imaginary friend of mine. I guess

he's Trump's imaginary friend now. I really think it's sad that he has to steal other people's imaginary friends

[matt819]

10. Crying. Sir.

= lie.

Someone with more time and a stronger stomach should assemble all of these crying strong me calling him sir stories.

[Nevilledog]

11. Daniel Dale has been keeping track

Tweet text:Trump told a sir story last night about a "construction worker" crying in gratitude to him.

That's the first time a "construction worker" has appeared in these stories, which have also featured a "coal miner," a "steelworker," a "farmer," and a man big as a "football player."

13. The way he projects

I can easily imagine it's actually him (in his mind a big tough guy) calling Putin sir while crying.

[Demovictory9]

14. That British interviewer wpuld say immediately "what man. Whats his name"

Date? Place? Who witnessed this event?

[gratuitous]

18. It's a real obvious follow-up, isn't it?

Like yesterday when Trump was bragging about all the polls that showed how everyone thought he'd won the debate against Biden (there are no such polls). NOBODY in the gaggle asked, "Which polls, Sir*? Can you name one for us?" They don't have to be aggressive or confrontational at all. Just a conversational Oh-really sort of introduction and the very simple question, easily answered until the person you're talking to is lying his pasty white ass off.


*Trump just loves it when people call him "Sir."

[crickets]

16. Pathetic. Needy. Daddy Issues.

I am so sick of Republican presidents with daddy issues. Enough already.

[renate]

20. "Crying Sir Story"--I love it! What a wonderful way to just dismiss his BS out of hand!

Trump is so utterly and pathetically ridiculous.
