It's not about Trump lying about firing Bolton or using a Sharpie. It's about why he's insecure

[ataraxia]

Translation:

"He calls liberals on their hysterical nonsense & reveals their illogical thinking and incompetence regularly. Many liberals can't cope, so they hide to avoid having to face reality."

That must be why conservatives signed up for Trump you because they were told it’s better than Harvard.

Trump has lived in a hermetically-sealed, cotton wool world of privilege all his life, so concepts like personal responsibility are utterly foreign to him. He has been conditioned to getting what he wants, when he wants it, has never mixed with people less privileged than himself and thus has no concept whatsoever of 'real' life and the challenges it presents. He is so divorced from the reality of everyday life that I doubt he even knows what a loaf of bread costs.

Maybe but there are plenty of other rich kids who grew up privileged that can admit when they're wrong. What makes this one person so insecure that they can never be wrong about anything ever?

My guess is a harsh, relentlessly critical, and demanding dad which could not be pleased.

Something in Donald Trump's past causes him to constantly lie, constantly belittle people and never be proven wrong about anything ever.

A sign of maturity is when one can except their own mistakes and faults. Something happened to Donald Trump that scarred him for life. I don't know if it's a mommy and daddy thing or if it's a ex-girlfriend who laughed at his wee wee but something damaged him. This is not a normal person. This is not a normal mature person.

And I think many of his supporters realize it. They realize that he is actually less mature than their own children. So they have to go on the offensive or try to laugh it off. We see that here every day. We see it all over Republican media and the Internet every day. The enablers don't have many options left.

Well said, it doesn't take much to sum him up. Its not just many, I think the vast majority of Repubs know what he is. What I find amazing is so few can bring themselves to admit anything might be a little off. It's seems that if they admit one failing, they'd have to admit them all.

The cult just doesn't care if he acts like a 10 year old who calls his opponents names as long as they get their judges and their wall. Our security be damned...

 

[Lethargic Aptitude]

Do you have children?

How many times have you had to bail them out financially?

What an odd question.

Well, in all honesty though, I have had rightists here on this forum tell me they are well aware he is a complete sleaze ball and bat-guano crazy, but they have voted for him and will vote for him again because of judges/abortion/tax cuts/getting rid of Obamacare/wall/tariffs, etc...

I wonder if they realize their children are watching them.

What an odd question.

It's not odd at all. The leader of our country is acting more immature than people's children here on this board. The leader of our country has been bailed out financially by his mom and his dad.

He has serious issues for some reason. I'm sure some parents have those same issues with their own children.

At least he's not flinging real poo so for that we can be grateful, but he does have some deep underlying issues, that much is obvious to even a casual observer of his bizarre and erratic behaviour. His one consistency is being an ignorant twat.

I never could envision him using an intern as a cigar box, or committing war crimes at the level of Bush II or Obama...

:hm

I can totally see why you can't envision him doing that, I mean he is on the record doing worse, in his own damn voice.
Oogling teenage girls while they undress is more skeevy by like at least 100x's

when it's about SharpieGate or 2 scoops...yeah their asshats.

criticize his policy on Chinese Trade....the wall...employment numbers...but Alabama and hurricane predictions ....nobody but asshats are so petty...get it?

The party of Tansuitgate and Dijon mustardgate don't have the footing to call others petty...get it?

And yet he's a breath of fresh air after Obama.

...until Trump! :2mad:

:donkeyfla

Don't think anyone is saying that, at all. Except for you, of course.
We sure as hell shouldn't expect or demand better right? Because that would be just flat out crazy.

 

[Pound4abrown]

It's interesting how liberals project their three-year trashing of the country onto Trump...

Was it just as interesting for the previous 8yrs before that? Or does that not matter, because, reasons.

While Trump certainly has issues, I also think liberals have terrorized qualified people into avoiding service for fear of retaliation and the destruction of their lives.

Trump clearly doesn't like war and hot terrorism (though he's sadly at ease with the cold terrorism of sanctions), so few in the sociopathic realm of the MIIC want to work with him.

A sad situation in which Trump, imperfect as he is, is the good guy, or at least the best of the worst.

Right. Exactly, it is the Liberals fault that working for Trump is toxic. It isn't that Trump surrounds himself with toxins, it is that people point out that there are toxins in the mix.
Got it.
Seems Legit.
Republicans, the party of not my responsibility.

I'm not butthurt that he bought a house. So yeah, nice burn there.
You have no reason to seek out your fainting couch every time someone calls Trump out for being a lying dolt, after what you and yours did to the previous administration.
Sack up.

I wouldn't be surprised if he went national and started ridiculing the janitor who mumbled something as Don passed him in the hallway...

It does make you wonder how many really insecure, financially irresponsible city council people Trump Republicans have supported in their own hometowns. And if they don't support immature people in their own hometowns why do it nationally?

And it makes me wonder how many Donald Trump supporters actually go to church. Are actually, truly religious.

I've said before:

Hitler was at least a competent.

 

[Bullseye]

It should be embarrassing to support such a man child.

But Trump supporters have abandoned all standards, they can excuse or rationalize just about every one of his childish antics.

Things they would never accept and would blow up about, if Obama or a Democrat had said or done, is waved away with “TDS” or “globalist hater” regardless of who it comes from, even those who were close to him and had direct access.

Trumps behavior isn’t really the issue, it’s his supporters that continue to excuse it that is the real issue.

Given the choice the democratic party has offered in the last five years it's not embarrassing at all to favor Trump. I'd be embarrassed to favor anyone else. You guys on the left always seen to equate forming an emotional attachment with a politician with believing his/her policies will do the country the most good. I have frequently said I'd invite the Obama's to a backyard BBQ any day, but never want either to have anything to do with running the country. My feels on Trump are the opposite.

It's not even a close comparison. Hillary was "bad" because apparently her husband cheated on her and she chose to stay with him. Oh and her health was apparently really bad too, they say.

Now we have a guy who thinks the unanimous international consensus of every single scientific organization on the planet on climate change is wrong and it's all just a Chinese hoax. Hey what can go wrong?

 

[3leftsdoo]

That statement is clearly absurd. Do you actually believe that 'liberals terrorize qualified people"? Really, I'm laughing at the thoughts of someone like Jim Mattis or McMaster being 'terrified' by anyone. People that are qualified and experienced in their particular field have no reason to be intimidated by anyone.

Trump suggested blowing up an oncoming hurricane with a nuclear bomb, that's when he and John Bolton really came to blows and it started the wheels of Bolton's imminent resignation into motion.

If by absurd you mean factual, we agree. Yes. I'm chilled by your laughter. Qualified and experienced servants of the MIIC should be regarded with extreme wariness.

Whatever caused it, a blessing to be sure. :yes:
