I'm guessing this might be the #1 all-time "NO SH*T SHERLOCK" admission from Trump on who he "hangs out with"

Trump made a wildly condescending admission about the sort of people he likes to surround himself with during an event in Miami shortly after the signing of his executive order to move money around to pay Transportation Security Administration officials in the absence of a congressional deal to reopen the Department of Homeland Security.

"I hang out with losers because it makes be feel better," said Trump. "I hate guys that are very, very successful and you have to listen to their success stories. I like people that like to listen to my success."


This admission caused an eruption from commenters on social media.

What Is Executive Dysfunction?
Executive dysfunction is when you have problems with your executive function skills. It might be hard for you to plan, organize, strategize, pay attention to details, and manage your time. Executive dysfunction disorder isn't just being forgetful or disorganized occasionally. It's a long-term condition that affects your everyday life. For example, you might have trouble doing tasks that have steps, such as cooking a meal or finishing a work or school project. It's not a matter of how smart you are or how much effort you put in; it's a disconnect in your brain's ability to coordinate and carry out tasks.

Executive Dysfunction Symptoms
There are many possible symptoms of executive dysfunction. You might have executive dysfunction if you have trouble:
• Planning projects
• Estimating how much time a project will take to complete
• Telling stories (verbally or in writing)
• Memorizing things
• Starting activities or tasks
• Shifting plans when situations change
• Focusing only on one task
• Motivating yourself to do something that doesn't interest you, such as chores
Other symptoms include:
• Speaking without thinking first
• Daydreaming or “spacing out” when you should be paying attention
• Being easily distracted
• Having problems with impulse control
• Having trouble controlling your emotions
• Misplacing things
• Forgetting things, such as appointments
• Losing your train of thought

Well, that certainly explains his choice of cabinet and VP.

...this could be a bit of trolling on his part. It's the kind of statement that I suspect even Trump knows will get us talking and making fun of him. In short, another distraction.

Wasn't worth posting. Sarcastic trolling, said something like "Strait of Trump, oh, I mean "Hormuz," blah blah blah.

That's all that's left of him these days...trolling, and naps. And golf.

Answer: Nobody will, because no one likes him. Plus they don't want to be considered his "loser" friend.

Cause I agree 100%.

He craves belonging with the liberal celebs. You notice that whenever he’s with Mamdani and it explains his obsession with the Kennedy Center.

He doesn't "hang out" with his base

But it does explain how Noems and Patels and Hegseths get their jobs

Justice matters.

Except this time he added the REASON why he loves them (his stupid ignorant magats): Because he feels "unique" and above them because he has lots of money (thus, power) and they don't.

absolutely does not fucking care what he says
any more because ... no cosequences.

Delusional. He has had no true success in his pitiful life. All because he became a racist, egotistical bastard.
