As trump's melt down progresses, I have a prediction

Soon princess and other members of the grifter family are going to try to make people sorry for adding to his burden while he courageously faces the coronavirus. They’ll say it with straight faces or teary eyes. Being lifelong grifters living in their bubble they will actually believe it.

I have zero sympathy for the orange toad no matter what befalls him. He’s trying to kill Americans, he’s waddled thru his presidency doing as little as possible while enriching himself as much as possible. Hey dumbass, you ran for the office we didn’t recruit you. If you had absolutely no idea what the responsibilities were you shouldn’t have done so, and once you realized you might have to actually do some work you could have resigned. You still can, just GTF out.

was a pic of him with his head down. The text was about - just imagine the burden this great man must be feeling. Maybe it is making the rounds already.

Your nom-de-plume has me thinking about the Caine Mutiny, and it occurs to me that Captain Queeg was actually a better man than Trump.

There's a part in the movie and the book, I think it's after the yellow-stain incident, where Queeg comes to the officers' mess and essentially asks for their help. He does it in a roundabout way, and so it doesn't work--but he had enough self-awareness to know that he'd lost the respect of his crew and had to do something. And when there is no response to his plea he sinks back into his illness.

Trump has no such self-awareness. He is thoroughly, utterly unredeemable.

That his officers had been trying to help him. At least that’s the way I remember it. He kind of interrupted his rant and then settled down.
