To grasp why such an anodyne scene would produce such a wounding effect on a man who has endured misfortunes such as bankruptcy, losing a presidential election, two impeachments, and innumerable legal setbacks, one needs to understand his peculiar psychology. Here, in rough order, is Trumps hierarchy of needs:
1. To be treated as a winner
2. To pal around with celebrities
3. To not be laughed at
4. To gain the specific approval of Tom Brady
Trumps special obsession with Brady goes back years, when he would devote his now-suspended Twitter account to vocally defending the quarterback against penalties for using a deflated football.

Steph Curry can buy his own Big Mac. (Guessing he doesn't eat that crap.)

(19,201 posts)He can't take a hint of a joke at his expense. For such a "BIG MAN" he certainly has a minuscule sense of humor.
Such an immature little snowflake, their Donnie.

(182,791 posts)He hates not being around celebrities and cant stand being laughed at (Dr. Fauci).

(23,926 posts)In probably the only positive move that I can think of which NFL owners ever took as a group, they not only laughed at you behind your back, they also spit in your face.
You could have offered up blow jobs from Ivanka and whoever was dumb enough to be married to you at the time, and they still would have told you to fuck off, loser.
SergeStorms
(19,201 posts)He wanted to be a Democrat, he was a registered Democrat at one time, but we Democrats know a phoney crook when we see one.
New York Democrats would never let him near their inner circle. He wanted the celebrity that goes along with being a New York City Democrat, but everyone saw through the facade he put forward of being a caring human being.
True to form, he turned to the opposition, wanted to settle the score for the Democrats' snub, and the rest - as they say - is history.

(19,201 posts)Classic old Florida bar. Gone now, like so many old Florida bars. Everything has to appeal to the tourists, or it's gone.
Glad you're a Dorsey fan.

The perfect ticket: Storms/Coleman 2032!

(4,741 posts)But he is generally quiet about his politics, which is fine by me. I like a guy who knows his lane and how to stay in it.
Escurumbele
(3,389 posts)It is to him like watching himself in a mirror. Deep inside he knows he is a joke, and he knows very well that most people laugh at him.
One of these days his followers will wake up from their trance, will wonder why they followed so fervently such a buffoon, then they will recall the things he said and will also start laughing at him.
