Is Donald J Trump a psychopath?

getting a fake tape out to non-credible sources would obfuscate the situation significantly and also remove any "Putin has leverage" narrative.

Evidence suggests that the sophistication of Trump's idea of protecting himself from outside threats has never risen past the level of sending threatening letters from his shyster lawyer or else sending hired goons to threaten physical violence. I'm not sure why he'd suddenly get so much more cunning, devious and sophisticated about it.

I was wondering what story would be on a totally fabricated peetape since the leverage thing is central. Presumably means you would need to show it to a limited audience who would leak out word of its existence. Since you wouldn't be able to rely on the memory nagging on the film subject's mind.
Rumour needs to get out to such an extent that weight of rumour outweighs 'victim's chance of dispelling its supposed existence.
& everybody already wants to think the worst of Trump which might undermine the weight of the threat since he's got little good name to besmirch.

you could just make a second peepee tape, Trump is absolutely dumb enough to get caught again

Oooh like a sequel?

a peequel

There's a reason they're so horny to depress voter turnout. They know that if all the dems actually show up and vote for dem candidates, they're toast.

I swear to god I am going to Lawnmower Man my through through the internet and manifest in the room of the next person who makes a pee tape joke so I can drop elbows

(I'll save the impeechment joke for another time then)

wait a minute, dip, I'm a peeceful man

djp (fucking autocorrect)

it doesn't take a whiz to know that trump's looking out for number one

To show you how dishonest the LameStream Media is, I used the word Liddle’, not Liddle, in discribing Corrupt Congressman Liddle’ Adam Schiff. Low ratings @CNN purposely took the hyphen out and said I spelled the word little wrong. A small but never ending situation with CNN!

hyphen? does he think an apostrophe is used after something to indicate it's cutesy or misspelled and not shortened? Liddle?

so much and so little going on here

I just remembered that he is a rapist

Wish he could be impeached for that

I honestly think that is his greatest tweet, it's a goddamn masterpiece

Going back to the thread title, there was lots of good stuff in Tony Schwartz's AMA, but this jumped out:

I believe deeply that most people are better than their worst behaviors. I also believe there are some who are simply irredeemable and evil. Scott Peck called them "People of the Lie." They lack any conscience, as Trump does, and so they're almost purely evil. Trump is the most purely evil human being I've ever met, and also the most insecure.

Don't forget that Trump made up a fake Civil War battle on one of his golf courses https://t.co/woyLrdvNs8 pic.twitter.com/qi0VipZBGr

for some reason I can't find things like this anything other than funny now

always a good and subtle move to sign off on a memorial with a full sentence, including an exclamation point

During his campaign, Trump questioned how historians could dispute the battle. "How would they know," he told the Times. "Were they there?"

good point

the story that quote comes from is worth adding to that picture
https://www.nytimes.com/2015/11/25/us/politics/in-renovation-of-golf-club-donald-trump-also-dressed-up-history.html

In a phone interview, Mr. Trump called himself a “a big history fan” but deflected, played down and then simply disputed the local historians’ assertions of historical fact.

“That was a prime site for river crossings,” Mr. Trump said. “So, if people are crossing the river, and you happen to be in a civil war, I would say that people were shot — a lot of them.”

“How would they know that?” Mr. Trump asked when told that local historians had called his plaque a fiction. “Were they there?”

Mr. Trump repeatedly said that “numerous historians” had told him that the golf club site was known as the River of Blood. But he said he did not remember their names.

Then he said the historians had spoken not to him but to “my people.” But he refused to identify any underlings who might still possess the historians’ names.

“Write your story the way you want to write it,” Mr. Trump said finally, when pressed unsuccessfully for anything that could corroborate his claim. “You don’t have to talk to anybody. It doesn’t make any difference. But many people were shot. It makes sense.”

pushing for "Many people were shot. It makes sense" for the October thread title

Trump after claiming the US is "respected again": "We're not laughed at. And it's getting more and more that way."

obviously he also has fervent fans, but: given the current world population and state of global communications technology, has there ever been a human being laughed at more than donald trump? and considering that it's his greatest fear, does he have any inkling of it?

I was going to say, I thought his approval in Israel was sit high

sky high

such a weird lie to continually insist on

i mean does juche even require north koreans to weep in the chairman's presence

Trump just told his story about how when he signed his Waters of the US order, there were people in his office, "strong people, very strong men and women, and almost all of them were crying."

This is his funniest tears lie to me because the event was on video and nobody cried. pic.twitter.com/fhcspVty0m

as we enter these hearings and Jim Jordan et al just keep hammering away with their fact-resistant theories...a reminder of the time this guy INSISTED despite being repeatedly corrected that 17x6=112

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMIKzUAY8n4

and how for a few moments everybody in the room just decided yeah ok then I guess it must be

You know what they say: once multiplication gets into triple digits, no one can prove anything

lol

112 is the highest number

Trump said that hopefully George Floyd is looking down from heaven and saying today is a great day for the country.

“It’s a great day for him and it’s a great day for everybody,” he says.

kevin was right upthread -- narcissistic personality disorder is the better descriptor. i don't think he can fathom another way of seeing that doesn't have himself at the center of it.

Full quote really sends it home

“We all saw what happened last week. We can’t let that happen. Hopefully George is looking down and saying this is a great thing that’s happening for our country. (It’s) a great day for him. It’s a great day for everybody. This is a great, great day in terms of equality.”

In heaven
Everything is fine

he's a huge piece of shit who has always been rewarded for being such is that really a medical condition

Unfortunate choice of wording or something more sinister?

fuck them in the hat

KAGA is gonna be his 2020 slogan?

Kind of suggests the Making America Great project was a resounding success, and it now needs to be kept that way. You'd like to think this fiasco fucks the Republicans for a generation, but probably not.

I humbly propose they go with Keep Us Not Them

It’s kind of amazing literally anyone would look at America in 2020 and think “Yep, we did it. We made this country great again. Four more years of this, please.”

Y’all are clearly underestimating the Deep State.
