From the headline I thought he stepped on them or something, but no:

Cardi B took to social media following the big game and said Secret Service presence at the game forced her to do some walking, which ruined her $3000 shoes. Trump became the first sitting president to attend the Super Bowl on Sunday.

The musician then showed off her spiked high heels. Cardi B said the Christian Louboutin stilettos were damaged when she was forced to walk because cart services ended at a certain point in the night at the request of the Secret Service.

“Look how fucked up my shoes [are]. This shoe cost me three bands. All because of Trump. Now I like him lesser!” she said. “Now I like him lesser because you didn’t have to go to no Super Bowl. Fucking up my shoe. Now I don’t really like him.”

THAT was your breaking point?!

Wow. “I bought shoes that you’re not meant to walk in, and now they’re damaged because I needed to walk.”

Not on this planet at all.

You missed the punchline, one instant later.

She claimed her uncle was deported as part of Trump’s mass deportation plan.

Way to bury the fucking lede. When did this happen? Why the fuck did neither Mediaite nor Cardi B think that part was important, except to clarify one aspect of how she thought shoe justice could be achieved?

Seriously. Soul-crushing. I bet he also really liked those shoes. Now they take that from him, too.

The headline had me thinking it was some convoluted critique of his decisions, but no, she's actually just pissy about her shoes and her uncle is nothing more than an aside.

I needed a good laugh, and this delivered. Thank you, and thank you OP.

Im amazed Trump is the only president to ever attend the super bowl though.

[–] laurelraven@lemmy.zip 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Probably because of the logistical nightmare for both the Superbowl organizers and the secret service, just doesn't seem remotely worth the sheer cost and risk involved

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

They have vip seating at every event. That's nothing new.

[–] ShepherdPie@midwest.social 6 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

What is new is the secret service and big security bubble around this specific "VIP".

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 1 points 21 hours ago (1 children)
[–] laurelraven@lemmy.zip 2 points 16 hours ago

Yeah, those VIPs are not anywhere near the target or have anywhere near the security detail as a sitting president

The President at the Super Bowl worked out so well in The Sum of All Fears

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Is that the one with John Malkavics home made gun?

[–] GraniteM@lemmy.world 3 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

No, that's Nick of Time, where Denzel Washington investigated a murder at the White House.

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 1 points 23 hours ago

Ahh ok yeah. Thank you.
There was a pocket of time with some great political thrillers.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

She said she likes him "lesser" now so I'm pretty sure she didn't care for the dude before this. This was just even more bullshit from the orange bastard.

[–] sundrei@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 23 hours ago

He got the "lesser?" Trump is def not a top-notch ho, confirmed.

[–] MHLoppy@fedia.io 9 points 1 day ago

Honestly this seems too absurd even for the onion!? What the fuck lol
