Trump shares tweet saying he is 'fanboying for dictators' after praising Putin and Kim as more mentally fit than Biden
Jake Lahut 14 minutes ago

President Donald Trump bizarrely shared a tweet describing him as "fanboying for dictators" on Monday.

. . .

The first line of the tweet from a columnist summarized Trump's comments at a MAGA rally on Sunday in Nevada, where he praised North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un and Russian President Vladimir Putin for being more mentally "sharp" than Democratic nominee Joe Biden, in another norm-shattering attack from a politician who built his personal brand on them.

"But you see, I deal with all these people and they don't have the kind of mental problem that Sleepy Joe has, they're very sharp," Trump said.

The president is presenting himself as a tough negotiator with the leaders of these adversarial nations, despite failing to take action for Russia reportedly offering money for attacks on US troops in Afghanistan and stalled negotiations with North Korea that have failed to compel them to renounce nuclear weapons.

"Holy jumping' Jesus, that's insane!" Then he would have added some very rude things -- too rude for DU -- about Trump and his bone spurs.

..and propaganda. Never bought, read one. Even looked longer than a nano at one while in grocery line. Mostly read more about it when stormy damiels other stories about trump were hushed by owner to protect the vulgar crook in WH..forgot the phrase used, wait--is it catch and release? They'd catch a compromising story about say trump they'd payoff person make them sign some waiver and story was buried. Something like that. Anyway...

Can you imagine the cache of story incriminatong scumbagrump and orher politiicians.

..this a.m., Joy Bahr asked "what is it about trump that people will do anything for him--even something illegal?" Cohen said something about some syndrome when kidnappers ..fuck can' t remember..wait--Stockholm Syndrome..something his daughter recently told him he was suffering with regarding trump..just thpught it was funny..if he hadn't been caught he would still be trump's fixer. Joy made same remark about being caught, still working for crook--to which he agreed.

Thing is he got caught following trumps orders and hes paying for a crime that trump should be paying for right now--screw that rule that says a sitting president cant be indicted..he should have been forced to resign. There is something seriously wrong with the constituion that allowed this IT [vulgar man] continue as president; allow congress to sit back and do nothing. Then I read it's not a law it's a rule--WTF!

Thing is..unethical corrupt people attach themselves to other unethical corrupt people. I surmise for support, coverage, strength in numbers? Who knows--or perhaps they are just evil SOBs.

you're withdrawing your welcome? And I thought I had signed up to Democratic Underground, a hard-nosed, realistic site devoted to getting rid of wingnuts, including Trump. If this is not such a place, perhaps you might direct me to one that is.

The two are wholly separate concepts, neither dependent on the other.

Rational thought, though difficult to train oneself in, is well worth the effort... in case you didn't know. Good luck finding the place that welcomes sexism and hard noses-- I imagine that may be a wee bit more simple!

I'd say "boy" is quite appropriate to describe toxic masculinity.
