Trump didn't "want" to throw a Great Gatsby "ball" on SNAP Ends Eve. It's his pathology. He f*cking HAD TO.

[Miles Archer]

Woke up to the news that Trump threw a "Great Gatsby Ball" last night.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that everyone on DU is familiar enough with this sociopath's mental illness, his pathology, to know he was POWERLESS when it came to this decision. THIS IS THE ROTTEN LITTLE RICHIE RICH SHIT WHO, AS A KID, THREW ROCKS AT A TODDLER.

Trump fucking LOVES the POWER that comes with telling FORTY MILLION PEOPLE "Fuck YOU, NO food for you, and someone bring me another goddamned steak!"

I'm guessing Pee Wee German's sporting morning wood over this, too, because there must be a lot of brown people in that 42 million who will go to bed hungry tonight.

TRUMP'S GOAL DURING THE 2024 ELECTION...apart from lining his pockets with as much money as possible from the Saudis and elsewhere...and keeping his fat ass out of prison...was to PUNISH AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE FOR ELECTING JOE BIDEN IN 2020

AMERICA just doesn't want to accept the fact that he is ENJOYING EVERY SECOND OF THIS.

IT'S DELIBERATE. IT'S INTENTIONAL.

Trump got to bend over 42 million people and plow their north 40, and he is LOVING EVERY SECOND OF IT.

NOVEMBER 2026 is coming. Let's hope America fucking WAKES UP and VOTES.

1. With the evil, Stephen Miller, and Vladimir Putin whispering in his ears, giving him encouragement. This will get worse.

Punishment regime. He had said that he’s gonna do it. The problem is the people who voted for him are just as sadistic. They’ve just never had the power before. How can anybody listen to Stephen Miller and not feel the evil coming off of him? yeah, now his wife is joining in.

2. America knowingly re-elected a psychopath last November.

One can only conclude a plurality of American voters are psychopaths themselves. As D.H. Lawrence observed over a century ago: "The essential American soul is hard, isolate, stoic, and a killer. It has never yet melted."

24. OUCH!!!

[PatSeg]

4. He feeds on revenge and hate

I think it actually energizes him, it's like a tonic for him.

[Samael13]

8. Like that episode of the simpson where mr burns tried to be nice

Turns out his hate and bile is what kept him alive

[PatSeg]

15. Oh, that is an excellent example

All Trump's expensive medical care is no substitution for a dose or two of cruel revenge.

[Fil1957]

5. I heard somewhere that he thought of throwing rocks at a toddler as a "game". He even had a name for it. It was called

"Make the Baby Cry".

Kick the baby

Baby Ike: "Don't kick the baby"

Kick the baby, punt!

So long ago.

[speak easy]

20. Link?

There is nothing in that list about impulsive behaviour. "Willingness to take what they want and do as they please" is not the same as acting on the spur of the moment.

[BradBo]

7. He's paying America back.

Hes paying America back for having to sit in his shit filled man diapers in that hot courts room last summer.
He’s acting out his fever dreams while he was napping and stinking up the courtroom.

9. I bet he's never read The Great Gatsby

[MLWR]

18. I bet he never read anything.

[Texin]

10. "Let's hope America fucking WAKES UP and VOTES."

Let's hope that an awakened electorate is ALLOWED to vote.

[Farmer-Rick]

13. He is never going to allow a fair vote.

He'll attempt to rig it again.

The only chance you have of getting him out of office and stop an illegal 3rd term is if you drag him out of the White House....or he dies....

11. The Rotten Richie Rich

Last night at his gold-plated hall,
Trump hosted a Great Gatsby Ball.
With steaks piled up high,
He winked at the sky,
And laughed while the poor took the fall.

As a boy he would sneer and throw stones,
Now he tweets from his shimmering thrones.
The tantrums remain,
Just seasoned with gain—
And financed by Saudis and loans.

He bellows, “No food for the masses!”
While gorging and clinking his glasses.
Forty million go dry,
But he’ll never ask why—
He’s too busy kissing his assets.

He lost, and he’ll never forgive,
So he’s punishing folks who just live.
With power to wield,
He salivates, thrilled—
At the pain that revenge tends to give.

He’s loving each second of hate,
Each cruel twist of national fate.
But the mid-terms will tell
If the spell finally fell—
And if voters can shut down the gate.

12. Should have been a Titanic Ball

And NO lifeboats.

16. "I am your retribution."

Jesus is my retribution. According to Jesus. We'll see. I guess? Huh, President Great Christian? Thought so. Hijacking religion for personal gain and political purposes are ya? Thought so.

[Miles Archer]

21. The "I am your retribution" nonsense was just Trump recycling...

...his paranoia parable to the MAGAts, in reference to the legal cases he's since escaped, telling them "They may be coming after ME, but they're really coming after YOU."

Which, of course, is blatantly false, because YES...if you COMMIT a FELONY, in the ideal sense, LAW ENFORCEMENT WILL "come after you."

But if you're a MAGAt, living in mom's basement, no one's coming after you as a way to punish Trump for his crimes.

That's the #1 trick that a mob boss / con man / career criminal can pull..."They're coming AFTER YOU, but they're going to have to go through ME to GET to you."

"I am your retribution."

For WHAT? McDonalds running out of Chicken McNuggets?

[R Merm]

17. I'm expecting him to start deporting people to Jamaica, cause its the most evil thing to do.

19. I hope they get out and vote

The problem then becomes, will they vote for their interests or private equity's?

[Nasruddin]

22. They will vote for Trump and his minions

They want this. They want this treatment. This is exactly what they voted for.

[BradBo]

23. He's pised about getting dragged to court last summer.
