“She’s not having success. I’m having success”

Did he start that sentence with “nuh ah,” because that sounds like something a 6 year old would say.

[-] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 107 points 3 months ago

He's just gonna keep repeating it...

Real narcissism at Trump's level is legit like this. They convince themselves that their version is real life, and just refuse to acknowledge anything contrary to that

South Park actually did a really good job portraying it in the Fish Sticks episode with Cartman's memory continually evolving to keep making him believe new versions where he created more and more of the joke.

trump legit believes he's succeeding, it's why he's such a good conman. It's not a con to him, all his crazy promises he thinks he'll follow thru on, and when he doest he rationalizing it as not his fault and he did everything he can.

George Castanza's lesson for lying - it's not a lie if you believe it.

The best liars are able to convince themselves of the lie first.

To be fair he reads on par with a six year old, and with the dementia as bad as it is, that sounds about right.

Maureen Dowd of the failing New York Times, wrote incorrectly that I was making the calls. WRONG!!! I don’t have to make calls to go on TV, or anything else — They call me!

Got it. So he absolutely, 100% without a doubt called them first.

[-] AbidanYre@lemmy.world 73 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

We all remember when he was president and he called in to Fox News to rant on air every couple days.

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 123 points 3 months ago

He added, "Delivery was a C+, with far too many and speedy 'thank you’s' at the beginning. It was 'WEIRD!'"

He's trying to appropriate the word. We're not gonna let him. Fuck off, orange man.

[-] InternetUser2012@lemmy.today 61 points 3 months ago

Fuck off WEIRD orange man with 34 felonies and dementia that's too old.

[-] Bluefalcon@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 3 months ago

Don't forget rapist. He earned that title.

They are trying in such a spectacular fashion to flip that word, it's embarrassing.

[-] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 25 points 3 months ago

He did it with "fake news," which was initially about literally fake news sites spreading on social media that supported the Trump campaign in 2016.

[-] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 23 points 3 months ago

Lmao that imbecile even says “weird” weird

[-] floral_toxicity@lemmy.world 20 points 3 months ago

Just like he's trying to appropriate the word coup by saying Biden was kicked out in a coup.

He uses it to soften his ACTUAL coup attempt during and after the 2020 election.

"Trump desperate to not seem desperate."

[-] ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 22 points 3 months ago

"I'm not desperate! I'm not crazy! Not like Crazy Kamabla! Stop calling me weird! I'm not old!"- totally normal orange man

[-] Thebeardedsinglemalt@lemmy.world 14 points 3 months ago

That's what Marxist Kambalba and her dangerous communist DNC comrades would want you to...the Biden crime family are...people are talking...this is what people are saying...tampon Tim's Communist Marxist trans policies would turn...these...they...they're the weird ones not me Im probably the smartestest...healthierest most sane person with totally normal sized hands who...

The only emotional defense mechanism the guy has is "no u".

He has the emotional stability of a three year old.

How soon until he stoops to the “I’m rubber, you’re glue” gambit?

[-] orbitz@lemmy.ca 22 points 3 months ago

He just tried to call something weird in the article, so most recent time was then. Though, even if I can't recall specifics, I'm sure he's done it many times when his brain runs out of new insults.

[-] formergijoe@lemmy.world 13 points 3 months ago

He already called Kamala's DNC speech "weird." He's already living in a post bounce-off-me-and-stick-to-you world.

Desperate weirdo, got it.

Damn, Trump at 78 with the general public is a lot like me with my crush when I was 15.

Now that I think of it... it's kinda weird that 15 year old me and 78 year old Don want the same kinda girl... 😬

[-] Nougat@fedia.io 19 points 3 months ago

You had a thing for Ivanka when you were 15?

[-] DogPeePoo@lemm.ee 34 points 3 months ago

What a pussy

[-] NegativeInf@lemmy.world 57 points 3 months ago

That's disrespectful of pussy.

What a shit stain.

[-] solsangraal@lemmy.zip 37 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

there's nothing anyone can call trump that isn't insulting to the thing you're calling him

[-] AbouBenAdhem@lemmy.world 57 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

If calling him a fascist is insulting to fascists, I can live with that.

[-] thefartographer@lemm.ee 14 points 3 months ago

Well said

[-] CMDR_Horn@lemmy.world 12 points 3 months ago

I like to think that calling somebody a “Trump” will become the next Benedict Arnold

Nah, a pussy is happy to take its licks. This guy is ingrown scrotum hair. Causes pain in its vicinity and needs to be removed.

He is a desperate orange blob that needs to be flushed. I will cast my vote for that.

[-] ChowJeeBai@lemmy.world 24 points 3 months ago

He sounds desperate to want people not to call him desperate. A desperate person may do desperate things.

He’s so pathetic. The suburban / rural masses who worship him have got to be do blind/deaf. It’s impossible to not see what a weak, sad, demented old idiot he is.

The suburban / rural masses who worship him have got to be ~~do blind/deaf~~ racist.
