Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Do you think, in his entire long, miserable life.... He has EVER, and just a single time would count here, has he EVER accepted fault for anything? Has he ever said something like,
"This person has a point, I was wrong here"
Ever, even just once, for any reason, like "this person was ahead of me in line actually"...
No? He hasn't?
Well then how do you take ANYTHING he says seriously? Every other person you admire makes little mistakes Mr. tump voter, so genuinely, how can you take him seriously?
I ready Mary’s book. He does not. Never once. His dad always bailed him out. And I suspect he believes his dad will somehow arise from the dead and bail him out even now.
The average trump voter probably suffers from the same inability to feel loved enough too which is probably why they are drinking his koolaid.
Most of his behavior I've been reading about sounds exactly like a toddler acting out having a tantrum testing the limits of what they can get away with, so I doubt it.
Not possible, unfortunately. If you read Mary Trunp's book it shows how he was abused and never shown love during his formative childhood years. This doesn't excuse him being a giant piece of shit, because other people who've gone through worse have turned out better. But without either therapy, some modicum of intelligence, or at least a desire for change he'll be stuck being a narcissist who can't understand any emotions deeper than what children feel until he croaks.
it was his brother, Fred, who was not shown any love and compared constantly to Donald. Donald was the golden boy. And even then Donald still felt he was not shown enough love. Hence the point ‘too much is never enough’ as the title of that book.
Golden boy or not, his father was a narcissist incapable of showing love and his mother was largely checked out of caring for her kids.
