I love the bit in the first video where he's protesting about the story where he called dead servicemen "suckers" and "losers", and argues that only a psycho would say that.Trump says what he actually thinks about his supporters, then tries to play it off as a joke.
Narcissism is considered a personality disorder (Cluster B) and a psychosocial disability, so by psychiatric definition Trump is both a narcissist and a psycho.(Admittedly, he's a colossal narcissist rather than a psycho, but in many ways that would apply here, there's not much difference between the two.)
He'll tell you he didn't say things he's been recorded saying. And his supporters will believe him over their own eyes and ears.I love the bit in the first video where he's protesting about the story where he called dead servicemen "suckers" and "losers", and argues that only a psycho would say that.
Yeah, I was thinking C as soon as I started reading this. Though A and B aren't unlikely either.So, bit of a resurrection for this thread.
Apparently, Trump has announced his intention to sue the DoJ for... I dunno, harassment, illegal law enforcement, whatever... demanding $100 million in damages. From what I've read, this has approximately zero legal merit. The DoJ then has 180 days to respond, and then the case may move to court.
However, the question is why: a) because he loves lawsuits even when they are hopeless; b) it's campaign PR and will be quietly dropped later, c)...
Start the case, and let it go through procedure. If he wins the election and becomes President, however, he has total control over the executive and immunity from prosecution. So he can potentially just order the DoJ to concede, settle, and hand $100 million over to him!
You see that's the beauty of it - it's B if he loses, C if he wins.Yeah, I was thinking C as soon as I started reading this. Though A and B aren't unlikely either.
I've watched long clips from a few of his recent rallys. I think he's starting to fade. He used to be able to put together fairly coherent speeches that stay on a sort of theme. Lately though it's like he struggles to remember what he's talking about very quickly and he'll do stuff like that and then say he's kidding. Not because he messed up but as a way to try and get himself back on track. Hit his inner reset button as it were.Trump says what he actually thinks about his supporters, then tries to play it off as a joke.
Trump tells rally-goers not to die in Vegas heat: ‘I don’t care about you’
Remark get laughs at rally – but also draws raised eyebrows on social media as critics argue Trump was being truthfulwww.independent.co.uk
He also claimed to have twenty thousand supporters appear at a venue that can hold three thousand people, and joked about the heat in temperatures that sent six of his supporters to the hospital.
Trump apologists storming in to say that "the left is just overreacting" in three, two, one....
Then they're dumb ass bitches that sealed their own fate and too dumb, selectively oblivious, or all the above to know it. They have no one to blame, but themselves, yet won't own up to it. Good luck with your "paradise", you heathens.You may ask why still vote for Trump? The interviewees still had that weird worldview that "a business man running the government is better than a career politician". It's sad that they think that, but its difficult to defend how much of our budget goes to things not directly related to infrastructure and social welfare for existing Americans.
I agree, he's further from his peak than he was 8 years ago, no doubt about that. But the question isn't Trump vs Trump 8 years ago, it's Trump vs Harris. Is he worse at making coherent statements than Harris?I've watched long clips from a few of his recent rallys. I think he's starting to fade.

By several orders of magnitude, yes.Is he worse at making coherent statements than Harris?
Have you listened to statements by either of them? I don't blame you if you haven't, it's reasonable to accept that your opinion isn't changing anyway.By several orders of magnitude, yes.
I have. Biden wasn't, but Harris is many orders of magnitude more coherent. He can barely string a sentence. He recently told a news show it should bring back a presenter 20 years dead.Have you listened to statements by either of them?
it's reasonable to accept that your opinion isn't changing anyway.
Yes. Without any qualifiers. Did you see the debate? It was bad enough that not only was Trump rambling semi-coherently, he was never rambling semi-coherently about the question being asked.Is he worse at making coherent statements than Harris?
I hate Harris and yes, the debate went perfectly for her because compared to Trump she sounds like she doesn't have dementia and that she doesn't come across as a giant whiny baby.Have you listened to statements by either of them? I don't blame you if you haven't, it's reasonable to accept that your opinion isn't changing anyway.
Can you point out to me where Harris did something like reply to a question about US manufacturing by rambling about World War III?Have you listened to statements by either of them? I don't blame you if you haven't, it's reasonable to accept that your opinion isn't changing anyway.
Also power or something. Windmills.Can you point out to me where Harris did something like reply to a question about US manufacturing by rambling about World War III?
