Trump onstage at Davos "can't stand a couple of people in the room" and "would screw them if I could"

But Trump's remarks took a turn as he spotted a few perceived enemies in the room.

"In a way, I'm jealous. In a way, I'm upset. There are a couple of people in the room," he said. "I can't stand them, and they've become very rich. There's nothing I can do about it."

"I would screw them if I could, but I can't do it, right?" he added. "I can't do it. I would have had a chance, or I could just take them and say, you can't do what Apple's doing, but you're not allowed to do that, Newt Gingrich, right? We can't do it."

"But I would love to do it, really, you know? It's one of those things, but everybody's making a lot of money."

They’ve abandoned all attempts to make him presentable haven’t they.

Raw day old potato word salad. But, I am sure it’s to be spliced, diced, sanewashed, and explained away before the sun sets.

No different than thousands of 911 calls "my (spouse, brother, neighbor) is drunk and talking about all the people they wanna kill and they have guns and I'm scared"

Good Gawdz!

His brain is melting away and can no longer distinguish what is appropriate. This is a significant tipping point.

to behave like a civilized human being is totally gone now. He’s 100% id, and it’s the id of a very sick man.

To have gone from world-class presidents such as Obama and Biden, to this utter travesty.

And still supported by the ignorant masses (GOP).

Maintaining their ignorance is a crucial part of both *rump and the GOP's survival, we must do better at destroying the culture of obscuring their activities and policies in places where it matters.
The press won't ask the questions, therefore we have to.

If you're posting in X or other RW cesspools please choose subject lines that hook in the ignorant:

"Do you want your country represented like this?"
"Is this OK with you?
"When they ask this of your family, what will you do?"
"Can you defend yourself against this when it happens to you?"

God, what a pathetic embarrassment. Forget "the whole world is watching" - it's "the whole world is cringing".

The US will take years if not decades to recover from this.
