That "Thank you for your attention to this matter" sh*t is Jack Nicholson, straight out of The Shining's end scene

[Miles Archer]

I see that "Thank you for your attention to this matter" in his Mar-a-Lago fatwas and I can hear Nicholson running through the maze yelling "I'M COMIN' FOR YA DAN!"

I do get low / no self-esteem issues.

I do understand the dynamic Trump had with his old man, and how completely KKK Freddie skull-fucked his kid for LIFE.

I get it.

And I understand WHY Trump does a LOT of things, and the end result he has in mind. As far as the MAGAts go, maybe it works with them 100% of the time.

One of the things that makes Trump so fucking TEDIOUS is his addiction to REPETITION, whether it's the "Thank you" shit or his moron dance.

There's a very twisted, pathological disconnect in Trump's psyche. He relishes being hated because he feels that any and all attention equals worship.

Part of it is the bullying essence...he knows people hate his fat ass, and that the overwhelming majority of people can't do a goddamned thing about it. Unless God (or maybe the Republicans) wises up before January 20, 2029, we have Trump for another 1061 days.

So I am sure that part of his motivation for the "Thank you" shit is Trump rubbing it in, playing Hitler, playing his fictional "Apprentice" character.

He's basically telling America...and the world..."Give me the bat, Wendy."

1. I hear ya.

Trump is awful, but he’s always been awful and he always will be awful. The really maddening thing is how many prominent Republicans, influential people in big business, and regular folks think he’s in any way fit to be POTUS.

2. Whatever you do, don't read today's Dennis Quaid headlines.

He basically praises Trump as a great guy, and says he's president because he really cares about the needs of Americans.

There's a LOT MORE to Quaid's words of praise than that. I wouldn't post it here. And at this point in his career, I don't know how influential he is, but influential enough that when he swoons over Trump, the media picks it up and runs with it.

5. Oh man, I did not know he was MAGA.

6. His "tributes" rockets straight past "embarrassing."

He fires off maybe a dozen "strengths" that Trump has in his personality, and every one of them is the polar opposite of reality.

3. I think of it more as,

“Thank you for your attention to my blather “
He has no wisdom or knowledge in which to mine any other creative response from other than some internet meme, tv show or movie.
He is restricted to social media as that is what created him. If it were not for that, he would not even exist.

4. He thinks life is a zero-sum game. If others are losing, he must be winning.

So if people hate him, they're blaming him for them losing, which in his mind means giving him credit for winning.
