Trump quoting Roosevelt is a sick joke. Roosevelt talked about men who get bloodied doing real work, not cowards who whine on social media, run from responsibility, and throw everyone else under the bus the moment things get hot. The whole point of that quote was to honor people who fight for something bigger than themselves, not criminals trying to rebrand a courtroom meltdown as some noble battle for truth. Trump isn’t the man in the arena. He’s the con artist outside it, pointing fingers, crying foul, and rewriting history to cast himself as the victim every time he gets caught.
He didn’t fail while daring greatly. He failed because he lies constantly, surrounds himself with weak yes-men, and built a movement so fragile that the truth breaks it. He’s not marred by dust or sweat or blood. He’s marred by indictments, gag orders, and a cult following too brainwashed to care. The guy spent his presidency golfing through crises, tweeting through disasters, and gutting institutions while screaming about fake enemies. That’s not valor. That’s delusion.
Roosevelt would’ve spat on this weak attempt to co-opt his words. Because at the end of the day, Trump isn’t standing for anything. He’s hiding behind a quote he doesn’t understand, hoping it makes him look brave while he runs from every consequence he’s earned.
