What Is Wrong With Donald Trump

[erpowers]

It is not just that he lies; it is that he tells blatant lies that can easily be proven false. In addition, he challenges people to prove the lies are false. As most of you know, a few days ago, Donald Trump gave a speech in which he claimed to produce and sell various items. It did not take the media long to prove that Trump mostly like did not own any of the things he promoted that night.

Why does Donald Trump do these things? Is he that arrogant? Is he that insecure? Can he not stop believing his own hype? Does he realize that his fans and supporters will never believe the proof given that shows he does not own the businesses he claims to own?

1. Why does anyone listen to him

and give him airplay?

[revbones]

2. The big lie is already out by the time it's proven false.

Trump tells strongman lies and benefits greatly because the big lie was already out. Nobody pays attention to the correction later, it's already in people's heads by then.

Nobody really reads newspaper retractions. His supporters will ignore or forgive any issue because they have painted him with their innermost desires for a candidate.

3. He knows the audience that caters to 30 years of Hate Radio.

Knows it all too well.

4. Uhh, I'll have my puss with maggots, please.

Sorry, but I'm still laughing.
Is that a saying I've missed all these years or or did you just pen it?

Peace

5. Probably somewhere in the middle ages said many times over.

Just came to mind. Of course when I look at Ted Cruz Missile he reminds me of a large dollop of dog shit with two sticky eyes attached. OTOH, Orange Rugface is the most angry tomato I've ever seen. And I've seen my share of angry tomatoes!


I have epic pout lines. The best!

8. He is mentally deranged, sick, pathological

Narcissism, Psychopath and Sociopathy used to be lumped together synonymously, under the banner of Anti Social Personality Disorder. But today the disorders are divided in subtle, nuanced, but very similar ways. There is a lot of overlap – in fact more overlap than not.

Carol Caldwell notes, in D.J. Trump, Psychopath, that “it’s been attested to by psychologists and neurobiologists who study psycho- and sociopaths that the deadly syndrome can be seen in their eyes.”

She observes that “the eyes are described as affectless, what we would call cold, or eerily blank in one-on-one or televised exchanges. The sociopath is described as charming, out-going, intelligent, cunning, winning without warmth, but adaptable to whatever human kindness you telegraph to them. As we well know, many of them ascend to top positions in major industries, I might mention Wall Street and banking, heads of Hollywood studios, and members of Congress. On the street levels of everyday life, they work their wiles into all kinds of jobs, by falsifying resumes to fit the careers they are after. One area of human endeavor they seem less adaptable to is refined senses of humor.”

“He’s very easy to diagnose,” psychotherapist Charlotte Prozan explained. “In the first debate, he talked over people and was domineering. “He’ll do anything to demean others, like tellCarly Fiorina he doesn’t like her looks,” Alford explains.

Trump’s characteristic “You’re fired!” catchphrase highlights his brutal lack of empathy, as does his hyperwillingness to deport immigrants, even though two of his wives have been immigrants.

Gardner added that “for me, the compelling question is the psychological state of his supporters. They are unable or unwilling to make a connection between the challenges faced by any president and the knowledge and behavior of Donald Trump. In a democracy, that is disastrous.”

10. "One area of human endeavor they seem less adaptable to is refined senses of humor.”

Yes! So absolutely correct. I knew there was a reason that I typically evaluate people based on their sense of humor.

13. same here

humor tells a lot

9. Trump is a New York hustler in the mold of PT Barnum It was PT Barnum who famously said,

"There's a sucker born every minute"

Another quote from PT that shows Trumps debt to him is this one

"Clowns are the pegs on which the circus is hung."
P. T. Barnum

12. He makes Nitt look normal

It was easy coming up with adjectives for Nitt-- with Chump... my arsenal is empty because
there really are no words that do him justice, other than, perhaps, grotesque

[dembotoz]

14. he is just the perfect enuf candidate to mine the hated that has always been there

the thug crowd has been with us for a long time
i live in a very red area and have seen it for years
be it car with bumper sticker keyed.
yard signs torn down
insults from the crowds during parades
dem party booth vandalized on a constant year in year out basis at county fair.

it has always been there

trump just gives these folks a candidate to support who does not look like david duke
you can rally for trump and not be tied to the klan
he looks mainstream with wealth that folks can admire

it is ok to be a stark raving redneck again
