We all know that he wouldn't.

To give some modicum of credit: I think this was his attempt at talking the lifeguard up. Like: "Wow, you're such a hero!"

But the problem is that the exclamation (regardless of truth) is supposed to be like: "Wow, I don't know if I would've been brave enough to do that! You're a real hero." Not that you just "might not have" as though saving a human life would be too inconvenient.

Then the 16-year-old kid gets to feel really brave because even the president thinks they are. (Also doesn't help that this current POTUS is an abject, selfish coward.)

Strangly honest

This isn't news

Yeah, Trump would be too busy raping the 16 year old life guard, so the 10 year old kid would drown.

"That's very scary.", said the orange child rapist, "You must've shit yourself... I know I just did...again."

I know: He would not. Trump has no interest, and honestly no ability, to do so.

"I don't know if I'd do it"

Because the 16 year old is too old for him

If a kid was drowning at Trump's feet he would instruct his bodyguards to stand by.

I hope I can do something heroic one day, so I can be invited to the White House, and I can hold a press conference to tell the entire world: "'Fuck NO! I'm not interested in letting that corrupt, treasonous, pedophile, rapist loser bask in the glow of my glory. I don't want to be anywhere near him, where I have to breathe his stench."

“I don’t know if I would have done it. Unless nobody was around, then I’d give you a yacht ride to my friends island.”

Of course he wouldn't. It'd involve him giving a shit about someone other than himself, for a start. Then he'd have to shift his ponderous arse out of his own way to actually get off it and move.

You expect him to do something altruistic for someone else? I mean, come on, what would be in it for him?

Trump doesn't know if it would, but everyone else does.

We all know that if trump ever actually steps so much as a toll into the sea he would dissolve. The bronzer is all that's holding him together.

Also, rethorically perfectly fine. His language does tend to follow common phrases but only is tangentially similar anyway.

Could have said something along the lines: don't know if I could have done it. Probably couldn't. Probably wouldn't. I don't know.

His inner monologue is spoken out loud and his social filter barely exists. This isn't news.

He can make anything sound respect less, that being said.

Trump would jump in and his diaper would soak up all the water and save them.

Like with mutilated vets, he'd call kid a loser.

I won't save Trump if I was that lifeguard. Oh dear what a shame, this fat fuck can't swim, oh well...

Must have been an ugly kid, cause Trump for sure does kids.

Captain Bonespurs rides again!

The only thing positive about Trump is his buoyancy.

to be perfectly honest i have some doubts on the matter too

we know you wouldn't, no need for the rhetorical question
