Is Donald J Trump a psychopath?

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.

starting to think the accelerationists were right

It was never about 'making America great' in any practical way; it was only ever about keeping down the people you don't like and making sure they stayed down.

Improve America's Gait

It was never about 'making America great' in any practical way

wait...WHAT?

KAGA is gonna be his 2020 slogan?

Donald Trump plans to update his ubiquitous campaign slogan, “Make America Great Again,” when he seeks reelection in 2020, he says, to “Keep America Great!”

“‘Keep America Great,’ exclamation point,” the president-elect told The Washington Post in an interview published Wednesday, during which he also requested that his lawyer trademark and register the phrase, with and without the punctuation mark.

...

“I never thought I’d be giving my expression for four years,” he said. “But I am so confident that we are going to be, it is going to be so amazing. It’s the only reason I give it to you. If I was, like, ambiguous about it, if I wasn’t sure about what is going to happen — the country is going to be great.”

Trump said he came up with his 2016 campaign’s slogan himself and trademarked it in 2015. His most fervent supporters loved the slogan, shouting it at rallies and wearing red hats that proudly showcased the phrase.

That was 18th January, 2017. He's been selling KAG hats on shop.donaldjtrump.com since August 2018.

Must be popular, never seen anybody wear one
