In a stunning display of self-aggrandizement, former President Donald Trump has once again managed to turn a tragic event into an opportunity to boast about his supposed negotiation prowess. This time, the target of his outlandish claims is none other than the shooting incident that took place during the Super Bowl parade in Kansas City.
According to Trump, the shooting was not a random act of violence but rather a carefully orchestrated demonstration of his exceptional negotiation skills. In a tweet that left many scratching their heads, he wrote, "Only I could turn a shooting into a win! My negotiation skills are unmatched. The shooter was so impressed by my deal-making abilities that he just had to make a statement during the Super Bowl parade. Tremendous!"
While the rest of the world struggled to make sense of Trump's bizarre assertion, his loyal supporters were quick to jump to his defense. One avid fan even went as far as creating a meme showing Trump negotiating with a shooter, with the caption, "The Art of the Deal: Super Bowl Edition."
It seems that Trump's ability to twist any situation to fit his narrative knows no bounds. Whether it's claiming credit for a successful economy that was set in motion long before his presidency or now taking pride in a tragic incident, he always finds a way to make it about himself.
Of course, it's worth mentioning that there is absolutely no evidence to support Trump's outlandish claim. Law enforcement officials have stated that the shooting was a result of personal disputes and had nothing to do with the former president's negotiation skills or lack thereof.
Nevertheless, Trump continues to cling to his delusions of grandeur, seemingly oblivious to the absurdity of his statements. Perhaps he believes that if he repeats his version of events enough times, people will eventually start to believe him.
One can only wonder what other events Trump will try to take credit for in the future. Will he claim that his negotiation skills were responsible for the moon landing? Or maybe he'll assert that his deal-making abilities were the driving force behind the discovery of fire. The possibilities are endless.
As the world moves on from the Trump era, it's important to remember that not everything he says should be taken seriously. Sometimes, it's better to just sit back, have a good laugh, and marvel at the audacity of his claims. After all, who needs facts when you have the power of imagination?
