The Trump Thread

Published

I confess to back pedaling into Trump territory when I wanted to leave discussions about him in the garbage can.  My thread on the read-only break room site has 9,600 replies so I thought I'd bring up a new one.  

He's not going away.

Haberman's book is out based on interviews.  I won't read it, but the excerpts are interesting.  Especially what he says about McConnell, a description that's against the Terms of Service here, but I actually don't disagree with.  LOL

Quote

“At one point, Trump made a candid admission that was as jarring as it was ultimately unsurprising. ‘The question I get asked more than any other question: “If you had it to do again, would you have done it?”’Trump said of running for president. ‘The answer is, yeah, I think so. Because here’s the way I look at it. I have so many rich friends and nobody knows who they are.’ … Reflecting on the meaning of having been president of the United States, his first impulse was not to mention public service, or what he felt he’d accomplished, only that it appeared to be a vehicle for fame, and that many experiences were only worth having if someone else envied them.”

In other news; Trump is now the oldest presidential candidate and he shows significant evidence of both an aging brain, mental illness, and cognitive decline.

You need a Medical Statement for a flesh wound you saw happen live then rewatched...... 

But feel completely justified for making a statement like this with zero evidence or medical report.

The name is spelled R E A G A N.

There was a medical briefing following Reagan's shooting and you still got those details wrong.  We have no details about Trump's injury from the treating team.

I don't need a medical statement. I simply point out that Trump, once again, prefers spin and theater to transparency or precedent.

That's correct.  I see the evidence of Trump's mental illness everyday.  So do you. 

Now Trump can't deflect to Biden when his incoherent and confused speech patterns are mocked and questioned.  Trump's truth social statement about Biden dropping out definitely reflects his level of crazy.

Just because you have an inherent hate for someone and you do not agree with them doesn't mean they have a "mental illness" Especially without any actual evidence.. Besides, many people have mental health conditions and most lead successful lives.

Yeah. There wasn't live video of the Reagan attempted assisnation and the bullet went into his body. There for a medical report was necessary to determine what the bullet damaged Inside his body, because you can't see inside his body. Trump's ear is on the side of his head outside of his body. Where you can see it. 

What does it matter? Unless you are suggesting some sort of conspiracy?

Trump has posted on his social network that his campaign should be reimbursed all  the money  spent on opposing Biden.  

LOL

There's something to be said about pulling your candidate four months before the election. Will it be a new tactic of switching out candidates now at the last minute? 🤔

Correct.  They must meet the DSM criteria for diagnosis of mental illness.  Some of those criteria are obvious through simple observation.

Narcissistic Personality Disorder is a personality disorder where individuals have a grandiose sense of their own self-importance but are also extremely sensitive to criticism. There may be little ability to empathize with others, and individuals are more concerned about appearance than substance. It is characterized by arrogance, grandiosity, a need for admiration, and a tendency to exploit others. Individuals with this condition often have a sense of excessive entitlement and may demand special treatment.

Trump is a like a poster child for this untreated mental illness.

Have you cared for many gun shot victims?  

It seems to matter a great deal to you.

Did the DNC make an announcement about pulling a candidate or did the candidate announce his retirement?
