"The people I like the best are the people that are less successful because it makes you feel so powerful. I always say it. Never go out with a successful person."This guy is so broken inside.

(47,613 posts)it is usually bizarrely honest. Reminds me of that Jim Carrey movie Liar Liar, except Trump seems oblivious to what he has revealed. Of course, he has no respect for his base and thinks he can just say anything and they'll cheer him on. Sadly, he seems to be right.

(15,360 posts)Well, you see...
President Obama didn't fix all of America's problems within a week of taking office, and even had the gall to not deliver ponies as demanded.
We decided that the way to make America "more progressive" was to sit out the 2010 Mid-term election (A CENSUS YEAR), and allow unhinged racists with tri-corner hats and Medicare provided "My Scooters"...screaming like banshees for 14 months about getting "gubmint out of my Medicare", to take over 65% of all State Legislatures and Governorships, as well as a majority of the Federal Government House and Senate.
Then, we sat back as a racist fucking orange circus clown spent the next 14 months demanding to see the first African American President's Birth Certificate. We never showed up to protest at the studios of ...NOT ONE SINGLE one of the 1,500 Hate Radio stations, (MANY BASED ENTIRELY WITHIN THE CONFINE OF 80-20 BLUE TO RED CITIES), who spewed racist birther shit 24/7.
Then, it became perfectly normal for CBS, NBC, ABC, the NY Times, the WA Post, and of course Faux News to present the entire racist birther shit as nothing more than a "he said-she said" issue.
Then we gleefully watched "Game of Thrones" and wondered how people could allow such a fucked up...but totally entertaining...leadership structure take hold in Westoros.
Then we got busy with our kids and our lives as our newly empowered T-baggers drew state and federal congressional districts that looked like a sheep fucking a housecat...we expressed a little bit of concern when all of these "snake swallowing a shriveled penis" districts ensured our new overlords could win 45% of a states voters, while getting 86% of its representation...coincidental, of course.
Then we nominated a fantastic candidate, and one that was probably the most qualified ever to serve as President, but all anyone wanted to talk about was some "scandal" about some "email" bullshit...except for some of "us"...who preferred talking about how "our wonderful, started from nothing and worked her ass off to get where she was, truly historic candidate, was just EXACTLY THE SAME as an orange colored, racist freak-show, carnival barking, used-car-powered-by-snake-oil selling, serial unwanted pussy-grabbing moron".
Then, just to ensure we went completely through the Looking Glass and were using the broken shards to slit out wrists, we enabled the party of the "orange colored, racist freak-show, carnival barking, used car, snake oil selling, serial unwanted pussy-grabbing moron", to be the only check on his power.
There's something in there about some Russians doing some shit, but truly...THIS SHIT SHOW IS ALL OURS.
and that's the story of "How he ended up in the White House.

(11,993 posts)And the clip in this OP is a good example. He is an entertainer. He is the proverbial guy you might want to go out and have a drink with. It's part of why Bush beat Gore and Kerry, and part of why Trump beat Clinton. People without charisma don't get to host reality TV shows.
People like to simplify Trump's 2016 victory... it's all about job insecurity or it's all about shaking up the system or it's all about white supremacy or it's all about mysogyny or whatever. There are LOTS of factors, and it's not "all about" any one of them, and I don't believe you can lump all his supporters into any one of these camps. Yes, he has all those appeals, but that doesn't mean all his supporters are in all those categories. And it has been shown many times that the more charismatic candidate has an edge merely by virtue of that charisma, regardless of what you think about the policies. And that charisma is one reason why, even though he has PROVEN himself to be incompetent, we can't take anything for granted.

(19,204 posts)we're going to be more than happy to return you to your former self on January 20 of next year. Then your imaginary friends can call you on the phone and ask how you're doing. They'll be calling you in Florida now, because New Yorkers don't want your narcissistic fat ass around any more. Always the victim, aren't you "Don". Always the victim. Poor "Don". Poor, poor "Don".

(3,538 posts)The famous I love the poorly educated comment, the now I wont have to shake any more disgusting hands, and whatever else they can find and craft an ad called what tRump REALLY thinks of his supporters. Maybe some truth will finally start penetrating those thick skulls?

(11,617 posts)So why does he like Putin? Perhaps it's a daddy complex. If Putin praises him it soothes his need for approval from his father. Man is he f'd up.
smirkymonkey
(63,221 posts)First of all, he sounds wasted. Secondly, he is basically insulting his audience and every person who can bear to spend any time with him. Lastly, he has no friends, he has never had any friends and never will. There are only people who hang out with him because they hope to get something from him.
And the way he thinks he is so clever, funny and entertaining is just disgusting. He's absolutely repulsive!
