If Trump was anywhere close to as strong and admirable as he claims to believe himself to be, he'd freely offer respect and honor to Carter, secure in the knowledge he had plenty to spare.

But instead he's a pathetic, weak, frightened child, terrified at the thought that someone else might get some respect when he so desperately needs it himself.

Trump exhibits zero-sum thinking- if someone else is getting something, that means he is losing something. Thus if Carter is getting respect, Trump thinks he is losing respect.

Ironically, I lost respect for him because he lacks empathy, but we are the minority apparently.

Respect is not a zero sum game.

[-] futatorius@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

The sum of all respect Trump will get from me is, at most, zero.

Constantly proving what a massive piece of old fat shit he is and somehow people either don't care, make excuses for him or just don't see it.

[-] whostosay@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago

I assure you, they see it. That's why they like him.

I'm flying the flag at half staff for the next four years.

Upside down even.

[-] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 31 points 1 year ago

When do we start flying them upside-down? Are we there yet?

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago

Such a baby.

Man, what a prick!

[-] futatorius@lemm.ee 17 points 1 year ago

Nothing is too petty for that skidmark.

[-] kipo@lemm.ee 11 points 1 year ago

Some american flags in L.A. are probably currently on fire. I wonder if Trump is going to claim all Californians are terrorists who proudly burn the flag and hate America.

What do you call Trump's dick at half mast?
