Does Donald Trump really want to retire in Texas?

Former President Donald Trump received an ovation at the National Rifle Association’s annual meetings in Dallas on Saturday when he teased that he might relocate to Texas.

“I want to move to Texas and I want to retire in Texas,” Trump said to applause. “A lot of people are moving to Texas.”

(snip)

Although the NRA convention brings gun owners from around the nation, Trump spent big parts of his 98-minute speech focused on Texas, including talking about former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo, a GOP primary election in Beaumont and Gov. Greg Abbott.

Trump called Abbott “a very special man” and a “hot politician. Very hot.”

We already have Texas Gov. "Trump in a wheelchair" (Abbott), former Texas Gov and POTUS, George W Bush who many consider a war criminal for his invasion of Iraq, an Atty General who was indicted for 3 charges that were dropped by the partisan Texas Supremes and recently a securities fraud charge that was dropped after being delayed almost 9 years (Ken Paxton), the most despised Senator in Congress (Cruz), and countless US Congressional delegates.

We need thoughts and prayers from this surge of misfits that have turned Texas into a shithole.

Admittedly that would be a hell of a thing to do to Del Rio, but Euro-Americans are but a small minority of the population. It’ts right on the Mexican border, and Donnie can get exposed to brutal Texas summers.

Alas, I think he’d more like choose the Woodlands north of Houston instead.

Just no. He couldn’t make it here. The orange makeup would run in the heat and his hair would curl in the humidity.

Stay in Florida.

Both places are hot and humid.

Our forecast in San Antonio today is for a heat index of 106.😳

I don’t think Trumpy will play much golf here.😬
