(7,820 posts)Sending pictures of his hands, every year, to the person who first called him the short-fingered vulgarian. I am convinced he decided to pull the trigger on running for President after Obamas jokes at his expense at the White House Correspondents Dinner. Trump is absolutely incapable of letting even the smallest perceived slight go.

(871 posts)His presidential run was decided by hate. His hatred of Obama for embrassing him at the Correspondent's Dinner.

(12,578 posts)Take away his megaphone. No more live broadcasts of his press conferences. No more "chopper" questions -- just let him walk to the helicopter without any reporters around.
Stop publishing every tweet -- even the ones which show what a pitiful fool he is.
Take from him that which he craves most -- even more than having sex with Ivanka. Take from him attention. Erase him from the public memory and you erase him from the face of the Earth.
Then we might be able to save ourselves from the real enemy -- the coronavirus.

(21,421 posts)Cuomo (NY) has given great, informative press conferences to NYers, with goid advice, sound decisions, and predictions of what we need to prepare for. He has gained a lot of positive attention for doing this. Trump feels upstaged and us fighting back with his narcissistice pressers, claiming credit for solution ideas thst Cuomo has been suggesting and asking for.
Cuomo does not correct or criticize Trump on these things. He needs to develop and maintain as much cooperation with Trump as possible because Cuomo is dealing with a massive problem that requires federal assistance.

(12,578 posts)The only people who believe anything Trump says are MAGAts (of which my sister is one, unfortunately).
wnylib
(21,421 posts)cover Trump pressers and give only summaries of Cuomo's. Should be the other way around, especially here in NY state. WBFO in Buffalo carried just one Cuomo press conference, his first one. But they carry every daily conference from Trump. I am really disgusted with them.

(6,544 posts)They refused to remove a known threat, even when the intelligence reports were coming out of an impending pandemic. They are still fighting rational responses to the pandemic, and want to route even more money to the rich.
Senators aren't stupid - so that leaves only a few choices: complicit crooks, or blackmailed into fear

Realistically, what do we do about that? His approvals are rising.
I said it before, and got flamed royally. Concentrate and secure Senate. At least with both houses we can stop a lot of his damage.
P.S. Not saying give up on presidency, not one iota. But reality is he's over 45% approval in latest polls. Which means one thing ... enough to "win."

(10,146 posts)As infection and death numbers skyrocket, his precious stock market and employment numbers crater and the criticism intensifies, he'll only become more psychotic. It's like watching a slow-moving train wreck; people tune in just to say they witnessed Trump's breakdown in real time.

(10,885 posts)He's a short-fingered, small-minded, hot-tempered, cold-hearted, narcissistic tyrant.
Let's face it. Three and a half years ago, we knew it was going to be bad and get worse. Who could have imagined that in that relatively short time the economy would be destroyed, unemployment could be up at 20% or more, and we'd all be virtually locked into our homes, under quarantine from a killer virus raging out of control?
If it were a SiFi novel, it would be rejected as being too unfathomable.

(30,730 posts)It was timed deliberately to co-opt the evening news. A couple of the networks cut away. If he continues doing that, the least they could do is announce that they are showing his bloviating on delay, so that they can get their newscast in.

(11,627 posts)Near as I can tell...
1. Bad shit is happening.
2. Media is blaming me.
3. No one would even watch or read the news if not to see the trainwreck I've created each day.
...therefore... by blaming me for burning everything down, the media is destroying itself....

(2,657 posts)What he cared about was helping his country. It is why he sounded the alarm over and over before Hitler attacked England, even though few were listening. He only cared about what was true, what was right, and what would help his country. That is the difference between a true leader and one who spends way too much time looking in the mirror.
