GOP Rep’s Claim About Donald Trump And His Shirt Has Critics Howling
HuffPost
"Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha," former MSNBC anchor Mehdi Hasan responded to Trump-endorsed Rep. Derrick Van Orden.
Rep. Derrick Van Orden (R-Wis.) was mocked on social media Sunday after he told Republicans that Donald Trump would “give you the shirt off his back.”
“They don’t understand that Trump will stand for you in a time of need,” the retired Navy SEAL said in Indianola, Iowa, ahead of the Iowa caucuses.
The former president “will literally give you the shirt off his back,” he continued. “And he loves his country and his family more than you’ll ever know.”
Former MSNBC anchor Mehdi Hasan summed up many people’s feelings about the comment, writing simply on X (formerly Twitter), “Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.”
Trump is hardly famed for his benevolence ― unless it serves to profit him.
