Of All of Trump's Foreign F Up's the One that Still Grates Me the Most Is...

When he needed to be front and center of the photo op, so he pushed aside the Prime Minister of 1 of the smaller countries like the guy didnt even matter. It takes a special kind of narcissist to pull that off. I mean, you have to be super self absorbed to just push aside someone to let yourself through in the first place. But to do it to the elected leader of a country, and then adjust your jacket like they didnt even matter, they were just something in your way that must be removed. That takes a certain kind.

unfortunately, his huge ego, raging sociopathy, and malignant narcissistic personality disorder combine to keep him from realizing his considerable divinely-gifted talents for not leading a nation.

and complete disrespect of the Montenegran PM. It was by far one of his most repulsive public behaviors.

That kind of behavior around here will get a body knocked on his ass.

Still can't believe there are people who voted for that thing.

if you look at it you can see that it is rather revelatory about Trump.

First of all you can tell that it was intentional, even practiced. He had already determined that he was going to push his way to the front.

Then you can see everyone kind of turning to him. People weren't mad or anything they turned to him because they thought that he wanted to get in front so he could make an announcement. Now they didn't know if he was going to suggest an ending to global warming or the world's greatest fart joke but they looked his way because he was so aggressive that they were sure that there was going to be some big announcement.

Nothing. He was preening.

Now my memory told me that I had seen that exact posture before.

I kept looking at it and I was obsessed. Yes it looked like Mussolini but that wasn't what was struck in my brain.

Then it came to me

wait for it



It was Tony Clifton

Andy Kaufman came up with the most disgusting narcissistic person on earth and he became President of the United States of America.

It's like a Peter Sellers movie except Jim Carrey is playing Andy Kaufman playing Tony Clifton playing Donald Trump.

vileness which makes it easy to believe all the other shit people say about him.

and also that it's not something in the past. it's just the type of piece of shit he is.
