Trump: 'This is so unfair to me! Everything was going great. We were cruising to reelection!"

[kpete]

Vanity Fair:

As he headed into Memorial Day weekend, Donald Trump complained that he was COVID-19’s biggest victim. “He was just in a fucking rage,” said a person who spoke with Trump late last week. “He was saying, ‘This is so unfair to me! Everything was going great. We were cruising to reelection!” Even as the death toll neared 100,000 and unemployment ranks swelled to over 38 million, Trump couldn’t see the pandemic as anything other than something that had happened to him. “The problem is he has no empathy,” the adviser said. Trump complained that he should have been warned about the virus sooner. “The intelligence community let me down!” he said.

1. The problem is: he has no soul. n/t

[greatauntoftriplets]

2. Such an inconvenience for you, Donnie.

[spanone]

3. He is subhuman.

At best.

[sop]

7. Trump is some kind of living creature, but he's definitely not human. Not even sub-human.

[Rollo]

4. He's gone from "alternative facts", to "Alternate Reality"...

Earth to Plump: put on your oxygen mask...

[Skittles]

5. it was easy when he could ride on someone else's accomplishments

now he has to campaign on his incompetence

[sop]

15. This.

Everyone always said we'd find out what Trump was really made of when finally forced to deal with a crisis of his own making. Well, now we know.

[Skittles]

16. some of us always knew

fuck Russia and the STUPID FUCKING ASSHOLES who actually voted for him

[musclecar6]

6. By all indications, Just another unhinged sociopath

Prisons are full of them.

[davekriss]

20. As are many corporate boardrooms

Richard Dawkins wrote of “evolutionary stable strategies” (ESS) in the Selfish Gene. Basically evolution (temporarily) settles on a certain mix of genes that serve the set of genes well when competing with other sets. He uses as an example selfishness vs. altruism.

If everyone was altruistic we’d all jump to our doom in icy waters to save another, no one survives. Conversely, if everyone was selfish other sets of genes would surpass us as we fiercely battle eachother for scarce resources. What works out best, Dawkins suggested, is a mix - say, 20% selfish and 80% altruistic - that propels the set forward until environmental changes require a different mix.

Perhaps our mix of sociopaths vs the rest of us served us for a time, pulled us out of the caves and into the fields. But maybe not so much anymore. Not when so much power and influence concentrates into the hands of a small group of white men. Not when we’re all threatened by climate change and global pandemics. Time for change, I think.

8. The intelligence community tried to warn him.

It is not their fault he would not pay attention because he thinks he already knows everything. He blames everyone but himself for his fuck ups.

Whaaaaa, does he need some cheese with that whine?

[bdamomma]

9. Fucking

around with Mother Nature and Science is biting tRump's big fat ass.

He is always blaming others, what a sick POS he is.

[Blue Owl]

10. Bye Don

n/t

[gratuitous]

11. Yeah, yeah, 100,000 dead

But have any of you stopped for just one second to think about how unfair all this is to Donald Trump? Nobody's ever been treated so unfairly in the history of humanity! It is to weep.

[Yavin4]

12. If he were a character in a book or TV show, no one would believe it.

Can you imagine a Trump-like character on "The West Wing". The howls of unfair representation of conservatives on TV would be heard for miles.

[Totally Tunsie]

13. One of my fondest hopes is to someday see Chump flash into one of his rages

and totally lose control, only to be restrained by the very Secret Service that is intended to protect him.

I want to see his nostrils flare, his lips sneer, his eyes bulge, and his color turn to magenta. Then he needs to be wrestled to the floor, dragged from the room, and taken far, far away.

[barbtries]

19. you might get your wish.

he came rather close the other day when he walked out of the press conference because 2 women (!), one of them Asian (ask China!) reporters insisted on answers and he had none.

[Totally Tunsie]

21. Yes, he's getting closer by the day.

It won't be long before he can't keep the rage in and control it until he can lock himself out of public view. It'll bubble up inside him, his face will contort, and he'll lose it completely.

I'll be DVRing that to watch over and over and over...

[FloridaBlues]

14. He was told very early on and chose to ignore

[Liberal In Texas]

17. Apparently there weren't enough simple artists illustrations

in the reports. And the reports didn't make mention that it was going to crash his reelection attempt.

[Totally Tunsie]

23. They might have run out of Sharpies.

If someone looks in the Resolute, they'll find plenty of them.

Speaking of desks, I'm a little surprised Chump didnt pick this one:

18. of course.

it's almost as if people are still expecting him to change. the media keeps asking why is he like this. well, he can't change y'all. empathy is beyond him, he will never care about anything or anybody but himself, and he's crashing. He's losing! and fuck all those dead people, this just cannot happen.

it can happen. for the country it must.

sometimes i go comment on his tweets just to let off steam. more than once I have warned that man that just because he's always gotten away with it doesn't mean he always will. you know, he just didn't listen. go figure.

[Totally Tunsie]

25. In 244 days, Chump (words to God's ears) becomes a private citizen

without his personal Attorney General in his pocket nor the protections he enjoys via Executive Privilege. Tick...Tock, donnie.

[oasis]

22. Pathetic insensitivity.

[Initech]

24. I really don't care. Do U?

[UTUSN]

26. K&R

[Gothmog]

27. trump is a very sick person

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

28. Welcome to life diaper Don

Shit hits when you least expect it. Stronger men have resilience.

[peggysue2]

29. Yeah, Trump is always the victim

Of his own incompetence, arrogance and stupidity. President Bodybags finally got the message: He really f*cked this up.

[Cha]

30. BLOTUS Is LYING AGAIN.

[smirkymonkey]

31. What about MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

[Xolodno]

32. He was warned...and chose to ignore it.

And when it hit, he didn't know what to do. Because he doesn't know how to lead. In my state, California, even my Republican relatives are saying Gavin Newsome knows how to take charge and deal with a crisis.

33. "Has anyone in history ever been more unfairly treated than Attila the Hun?"
