Fucking Fredo is running for President.

[edhopper]

who talks like this? Trump on Morning Joe

"“I'm speaking with myself, number one, because I have a very good brain and I said a lot of things,” Trump replied.

“I know what I'm doing and I listen to a lot of people, I talk to a lot of people,” he continued. “And at the appropriate time, I’ll tell you who the people are. But my primary consultant is myself and I have a good instinct for this stuff.”

"I have a very good brain" WTF

"I'm smart and i want respect"

[72DejaVu]

1. Ha ha ha

Nailed it!

[Solly Mack]

2. Nah. Trump is Moe Greene.

[edhopper]

3. Moe Green's casinos

actually made money.
So no.

[Solly Mack]

6. Trump sounds like Moe Greene - bombastic, bravado.

Fredo never made money. If we are going to compare them that way. Trump has made money, even with all his losses. Fredo only earned what he was allowed to earn.

I thought the video clip was about how they sound when speaking. I think Trump sounds more like Moe Greene.

[edhopper]

8. Moe Greene

would never say, "I have a very good brain". That's pure Fredo.

But i see what you mean about the sound of his voice.

His New York thuggery is very Moe Greene.

[Solly Mack]

11. Sure he would. He would just say it loudly while gesticulating.

[edhopper]

12. Moe's vocabulary was just better

while i could see him bragging about his intelligence.
He would not sound like a third grader the way Trump does.
It's the actual words I am talking about.

[Solly Mack]

13. Trump sounded like an idiot when he said that, I agree.

[edhopper]

14. He often does

he can not say one sentence without the next sentence being about how great he is.

[Solly Mack]

15. But I don't think he knows that. (that he's an idiot)

[edhopper]

16. Dunning-Kruger effect

too dumb to know you are dumb

[Solly Mack]

17. You ever get the feeling Fred Trump was verbally abusive to him?

I do. Though I will admit to a lack of sympathy for Trump at this late stage.

[edhopper]

19. Probably something like that.

[CTyankee]

20. I remember that last scene of Godfather when Moe Greene is shot in the eye...

I watched it again recently on youtube and had forgotten how violent it was and how much dialog was in Italian...

[edhopper]

21. Very violent

Sonny at the tollbooth.

And there are no Michaels in the GOP.

[CTyankee]

22. Oh, that tollbooth scene was godawful. So was the scene with Tessio being taken

away to be killed, And Michael lying to Carlo and then strangling him in the car. There was more gore in Godfather II.

[Fozzledick]

23. The character Moe Greene is based on real life gangster "Bugsy" Siegal

"Bugsy" meaning "crazy".

So, yeah.

[edhopper]

24. Yeah

also shot in the eye. But in LA not Vegas.

[trof]

4. He has good words too.

He said so.

[21st Century Poet]

5. I can't stop laughing.

This is hilarious. "Who do you consult?" "Myself. I'm the smartest guy I know."

You can accuse Mr Trump of many things but having low self-esteem is not one of them. Where does self-esteem like that come from? I mean, really, where does it come from? It's jaw dropping. I wish I was half as confident about my own abilities.

[edhopper]

7. It's called the Dunning–Kruger effect

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning%E2%80%93Kruger_effect

Too dumb to know how dumb you are. Palin was a great example.

[farleftlib]

9. At least the Corleone family kept Fredo behind closed doors

where he couldn't do too much harm. If only...

[edhopper]

10. Looks like the GOP

wants to take Trump out on a lake in a rowboat.

[Wounded Bear]

18. Very Palinesque....

"I read all of them, Katie"
