IsntLifeFunny Posted August 16, 2024 Report Share Posted August 16, 2024 1 hour ago, begooode said: Trump’s all consuming narcissism, besides being obvious to those outside of maga, really is a sickness, the dominant pathology of a terrible human being. Everything with him is seen through a zero sum lens always involving his perception that he’s perpetually and personally in competition for attention. Always that movie of his life playing in his mind and something or someone is daring to steal his spotlight. Consequently, anything he’s associated with must be MUCH MUCH better than the alternative, often straining the comparison (if there even is one); and always playing to the immediate audience — large or small; VIPs or regular joes —to get his quick fix of adulation. Trump is an unstable aggressive narcissist who would be targeted by HR as a costly liability in a well functioning business, yet Trumpers have convinced themselves that he is a worthy leader. This latest incident will hit hard with his supporters initially, imo, but will be rationalized within a week, especially as the DNC convention continues the Harris/Walz momentum. It’s all about the fight with them. There is no such thing as an honorable alignment with Trump, no matter how much fearporn they’ve consumed. He was riffing and tried to bring in the I'm not a predator, see I gave a woman the highest medal available! To my surprise he was notably only sparsly applauded. I think this one will have an effect if it is disseminated properly. What he said was genuinely out of this world fucked up, stupid, vulgar, and out of line with American Culture.

Titans279 Posted August 16, 2024 Report Share Posted August 16, 2024 (edited) Trump's 20% tariff is such an insane thing. I don't understand how we've seen everyone coming out against Harris for her price gouging policy but this 20% tariff on all imports is bonkers and no one bats an eye lol Edited August 16, 2024 by Titans279 rns90, Justafan, MadMax, and 1 other 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctm Posted August 16, 2024 Report Share Posted August 16, 2024 Some voters think that tariffs are paid by the exporter (China, etc) rather than by the importer (Walmart,etc). Trump misleads on this point. I thought she needed to add another sentence or two explaining this. oldschool, IsntLifeFunny, Starkiller, and 1 other 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d hammer him on the fact that he was giving out the Presidential Medal of Freedom to his rich donors.

They just need to be used strategically rather than randomly or overwhelmingly. MadMax 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
