You know what will be driving Trump crazy today

[manhattan123]

He must see these coast to coast marches and memorial services and moments of silence for George Floyd, thousands streaming across the Brooklyn Bridge, marching in LA, Philadelphia, Boston...it's been going on for nine days now, news channels covering it non-stop, and he KNOWS when he croaks there will be no spontaneous outpouring of grief.

He will never admit it but he knows. In fact, he knows there will likely be spontaneous cheering and dancing in the streets.

And it is driving him crazy.

[C_U_L8R]

1. Does he realize he made it worse for himself?

There's nothing like the arrogance, ignorance and stupidity of Donald Trump. The most self-defeating narcissist to ever grace a full length mirror.

[Caliman73]

6. That would require insight and/or self-awareness.

Trump does not seem to have any of that. His "reality" is very distorted. He may feel slights when people criticize him, but he does not internalize the information. Everything to Trump is external. His "enemies" (which would include former allies) are the ones responsible for everything bad.

When I get criticized by one person, I can shrug it off and say that "it is them" based on who and what the criticism is. If a bunch of people are criticizing me, then I need to ask myself, "Did I do something here?" The answer may still be "NO" but I look inward at least for a bit.

Trump never goes there. He can't. His actual sense of self is so fragile that he can't even think about whether he may have made a mistake or not. He has been taught to see that as a strength, but is is a sign of how weak your "ego strength" (to take a Freudian term) is. If Trump was actually confident, he could stand to laugh at himself and admit when he made mistakes.

Comparing him and President Obama. President Obama could and often did laugh at himself because President Obama knew that he held real, personal value to himself and others. Even if he made mistakes, he knew he was "okay". Trump is not able to laugh at himself or acknowledge anything that he thinks is a "weakness" which makes him look like an even bigger failure.

Trump will keep running from reality and will think that everything bad that happened to him, did so because of "others". History will not be kind to Trump.

[C_U_L8R]

8. Indeed. There's no there, there.

[Caliman73]

12. He is so damaged. I mean really really damaged.

It is difficult to have any sympathy or empathy for him because he is so destructive to others, but you can see that there is no real joy, or love, or anything that a "normal" (I don't like the word) person experiences.

I have never seen him having a belly laugh, you know, where your eyes scrunch up so tight that they tear. Where you might pee your pants. You know why? Because you are vulnerable then, you don't have complete control of your body and image.

I have seen President Obama do it. I have seen Both Hillary and President Clinton doing it. Trump, never. He can't. His range of emotions is completely stilted.

I have never seen him cry. Seen the above people do it or at leas tear up. Shit I get emotional watching Toy Story with my kids and I grew up in a household where boys were not supposed to cry!


The only thing that Trump has expressed is anger which serves a purpose, but is so corrosive to the human psyche when left to linger. He feels safe with anger because he thinks it is a "strong" emotion, but it isn't. It is an emotion born out of fear and disgust. It is complex, and as I said, when "righteous" like being angry at injustice, it can serve as a fuel for action. But it is toxic and will burn up its host if not put into positive action and then let go. Trump, that is all he has.

It must be hellish to be Trump, but like I said, I cannot feel for him because he is making the rest of us live through his hell too.

[C_U_L8R]

13. Having no real close friends at all should have been a warning to everyone

[FakeNoose]

44. Chump has a few close friends

Unfortunately they're thieves, mobsters and dictators. You know, the best people!

[C_U_L8R]

47. He has associates and employees. I wouldn't say they're really friends.

Even Rudy.

[NNadir]

57. Well said.

[11 Bravo]

61. Damaged in a way that, were he not such an execrable human being ...

and all around unrepentant lying, racist shithead would leave me feeling sorry for him.

But he is. So fuck him ... with a barbed wire dildo.

[Caliman73]

62. Absolutely.

I could feel sorry for some guy with a similar background, sitting in a cell in San Quentin for even awful crimes. Not Trump though. I cannot feel sympathy for the hell he lives in because he is forcing the rest of us to go through that hell with him.

[11 Bravo]

65. Your post#12 was as incisive a deconstruction of the Trump psyche ...

as I have been fortunate to read.

Well done!

[PatSeg]

10. But of course

he will find ways to blame other people. Always someone else's fault.

[Blue_true]

18. President Obama made him look like a fool.

I doubt that was President Obama's intent, but the difference between a real President and a posing clown showed up in stark relief.

[niyad]

43. President Obama did not make him LOOK like a fool. He IS a fool.

[Blue_true]

46. Yeah, good point. nt

[11 Bravo]

59. President Obama simply reminded us what a President should look like ...

as he has done with grace and dignity every day since his first inauguration.

The unfortunate but obvious comparison between Barack and Lard Butt is what actually made the foolishness of Orange Droolius impossible to ignore.

[tblue37]

20. You forgot intransigence. nt

[Dorian Gray]

21. THIS times 100000000000000

He's his own worst enemy and he's falling hard.

[Ahpook]

36. Yeah

In his mind he is loved far and wide and he truly believes it! The lies he tells are not lies. The shit he does is justified.

He has to go no later than next election cycle

[machoneman]

2. What! Did you say he croaked? Dear God, please let it be true! Oh.....PLEASE!

Hah!

[Skittles]

3. he hates it when he is not in the spotlight

fucking narcissist

[dhill926]

33. THAT'S what's driving him crazy....

[Skittles]

35. oh yes

it's killing him.....first it was the VIRUS taking the spotlight, and now, OMG, angry black folk - he cannot stand it - if it wasn't all so fucking tragic it would be fun to watch

[roamer65]

4. People will celebrate when he dies.

I’ll dance a jig.

[Bev54]

19. We don't need to wait until he dies

The dancing in the streets will be when he is voted out in Nov, I want him there to see it

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

69. People will piss on his grave when he's gone. I won't do it, though.

I hate to stand in long lines.

[magicarpet]

5. I haven't emptied my catheter in six months,.. waiting to empty it on his grave.

[manhattan123]

9. If they charged people $5 to pee on his grave...

we could pay off the national debt in a month.

[Buns_of_Fire]

24. Think of how much the beer concession will be worth! nt

[keithbvadu2]

30. What's that coffin floating down the street?

[Squidly]

49. His gravestone

Will be known as the National Urinal

[magicarpet]

51. They had best better use AstroTurf,... real grass does not take kindly to uric acid...

.... the real grass tends to brown rather than green.

[Squidly]

58. Let it brown up

It will be one big smelly stain on the earth...a fitting memorial

[42bambi]

7. His plans are that when he dies he will have the biggest, best, most perfect RALLY ever!

[lunatica]

11. Watching all this has him wallowing in self pity

because he knows everything that’s happening will be blamed on him. In his mind that’s so unfair!

[brettdale]

14. when trump passes...

[KG]

15. c'mon. he doesn't believe he's gonna die

[NotASurfer]

16. I think how Presidents may lie in state in the Capitol Rotunda after their demise

as an honor. Bunker boy's only chance of that is if he dies in office and Pence gets behind it. Unless the House has to authorize it, in which case no chance

[oldsoftie]

26. I actually think they would approve of it. Depending on how long it is

I mean, he's mid 70s & likely stressed a LOT. Overweight. He's got 10-15 yrs left?

[GopherGal]

37. Using Social Security's Life Expectancy Calculator:

He's expected to live another 12.4 years.

This calculator doesn't take into account any health info, or, for that matter, even race, so it's quite crude.

[Old Terp]

52. And he really pissed off the Episcopal Diocese of Washington

The Bishop may not invite his family to have his funeral in our cathedral.

[Blue_true]

17. What will irritate his ass more is that tens of millions of Americans paid heed

to President Obama's pleas, bringing about calm that Trump was totally incapable of achieving.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

22. There will be a worldwide celebration when he kicks the bucket.

And a sigh of relief that we got through the Reign of King Donnie without him launching any nuclear weapons.

[Squidly]

50. So far.....

[nature-lover]

23. He also may realize that these thousands of marchers will not vote for him.

Maybe that is why he doesn't care what the police do.

[rurallib]

25. "no spontaneous outpouring of grief." No, but a spontaneous celebration? Yes

[Dukkha]

27. It will be VE day and VJ day combined

[ancianita]

28. I want to see him crazy every year when Americans celebrate Trumpexit Day.

[scarletwoman]

29. He is not self-aware enough to even have such a thought.

He is, in fact, supremely confident in his unquestionable greatness.

He will never admit it but he knows. In fact, he knows there will likely be spontaneous cheering and dancing in the streets.

Forgive me, but I think that is utter nonsense. The only thing he "knows" is that being the center of attention rightly belongs to him, and him alone.

[Mars and Minerva]

31. I have already planned the desert menu for Trump's funeral!

The centerpiece is my Mom's recipe for Seven Layer Chocolate Whipped Cream Cake!!!

The whole family is looking forward to it.

No marching for Trump....just snacking.

[BigmanPigman]

32. I think he is such a narcissistic sociopath that he isn't thinking

that his own funeral will be anything short of a scene similar to Princess Diana's funeral. He will believe, as insane as it and he is, that he is perceived as God's gift to America until the day he dies. This is who he is. He has no self awareness that is even remotely realistic. He is fucking insane on so many levels yet people are still thinking he may be partially human and have human feelings?!?!? No way! He believes there were be an enormous outpouring of grief over his death. There won't be of course (only parties and dancing in the streets) but he is NUTS, never forget that.

[GopherGal]

38. Streets full of Deplorables

He probably imagines it as he imagines his inaugural was.

[BigmanPigman]

48. Exactly.

[Duppers]

40. Totally agree. Thanks.

He has little concept of how truly hated he really is - his narcissistic ego doesn't allow him to acknowledge the full reality of this situation. Difficult to imagine but true.
(My own mother was quite a bit like that.)
So, I'm afraid the OP has it wrong.

[treestar]

55. Or like Kim Jong Il's funeral

crying newscasters and crying crowds of people.

[BigmanPigman]

66. Yep. He wants the same and he really EXPECTS the same for himself.

Delusional is the nicest way to describe him. A raving lunatic is the more accurate description.

[mercuryblues]

34. I plan on holding a mirror under his nose

to make sure he is not merely dead. He's really most sincerely dead.

[niyad]

45. Don't forget sticking a pin in him (the funeral scene in "Charade" is running through my head.

[smirkymonkey]

64. Funny, I just thought of that scene too when I read the previous post!

LOL! And Charles Lampert was a peach compared to Trump.

[niyad]

67. So very true. Heck, even Walter Matthau's character was better than the malevolent MURDERER

Currently bunkered in OUR HOUSE! And he was the villain!

[DeminPennswoods]

39. It's driving him crazy he hasn't been at the center of

media attention going on two weeks now. Taking a back seat to a black guy no less.

[Cha]

41. yes there will be Dancing In The Streets!

I just want to live long enough to enjoy it!

[dalton99a]

42. There will be spontaneous celebrations by millions throughout the world.

[NBachers]

53. Rivers of piss will converge in a tidal wave over his accursed grave. I advocate a National Piss-in.

[Yeehah]

54. I think "bunker boy" is driving him crazy

because he's a faux tough guy. LOL

[NNadir]

56. Personally, when that racist POS croaks, I intend to celebrate.,

At least in the happy case I survive him.

A stroke like the one Stalin suffered, alone in his room, lying on the floor, soaked in his own urine, unable to speak, would represent some small justice, not enough justice to make up for what he did to those children at the border, but some small justice.

In general, I have come to regard the experience of life as a sacred space, but confess that some lives are so destructive that they cannot be mourned.

[bucolic_frolic]

60. We should keep it going through Jan 21 2021

No let up. This is the most important thing many of us will ever do in our lifetimes.

[scarytomcat]

63. It is hard to ignore the ground swell of hatred.

He must go.

[No-Bozos]

68. No Ship for You

One thing we can be certain of, he will never get an aircraft carrier or any other Navy vessel named after him.

I am sincerely grateful he has pissed off the military.
