Cont: Donald Trump has 'dangerous mental illness' say psychiatry experts at Yale... Pt 3

Speaking of Stormy, Michael Cohen said Melania knew Trump was a cheater and that it was his job to back up Donnie's lies to her.

Donald’s former attorney Michael Cohen reports that Donald himself said very little to his wife on the matter — instead, Cohen details his responsibility of having to call Melania and repeat a denial crafted by the President himself, one Cohen assures the reader consists only of lies.

Cohen describes two phone calls in particular with Melania over his 12 years as Donald’s lawyer, though he says that over his tenure “Donald would repeatedly have [him] call Melania to reaffirm his innocence when he was accused of cheating on her.” The first conversation he describes is about Stormy Daniels and the reports that Cohen paid her $130,000 to stay quiet about her dalliance with Donald, at the POTUS’ behest.

Also forgot about Karen McDougal who admitted to having an affair with Trump during his marriage to Melania. She later apologized to Melania.
 
It assume that she had to pretend to get upset while being relieved that he was bothering somebody else. I wonder how much Melania was paid for signing her NDA.

To which I can imagine Melaina going "Nothing to apologise for, I should be thanking you."

Melania probably paid Karen to sleep with Trump. :D

Melania probably took Lady Hillingdon's (alleged) advice to "Lie back, and think of England"...only substituting "the money" for "England".
 
Donny knows he is safe among his curated dumb "friends" on Trothe Sential. On FB, Insta and Twitter, his ravings will get savaged by billions of unfriendly, sophisticated commenters with exactly the same access as he has and much higher IQ's. Donny NEVER likes to compete fairly...
 
If I were writing for him (gag) I would try and make him seem less stupid, not more (maybe they are!!!). Of course I'm somewhat sane.


Perhaps they're written by the same person who kept secretly replacing his desk with a slightly smaller one.
 
I don't think sane sells in American politics. You have to pretend to be at least a very stable genius.
 
Trump Twitter account unbanned.
I can't find anything contradicting this, what were your links?

It was in my post #979 in The post-Trump fascist creep catch-all thread:

Trump’s accounts will be reinstated “in the coming weeks” and come with “new guardrails in place to deter repeat offenses,” Nick Clegg, president, global affairs at Meta, said in a statement. Meta owns Facebook and Instagram.

Those guardrails will include "heightened penalties for repeat offenses — penalties which will apply to other public figures whose accounts are reinstated from suspensions related to civil unrest under our updated protocol. In the event that Mr. Trump posts further violating content, the content will be removed and he will be suspended for between one month and two years, depending on the severity of the violation," Clegg said on the company's website.

That is about Facebook, my post was about Twitter.
They are different things.

I could try and nit-pick and claim it's all the same thing...a distinction without a difference...get pedantic...die on that hill... but.....nah...I'm an adult with a secure enough ego who can admit when she's wrong.

My bad! :o

Note to self: read more carefully.
 
A different twist:
Former President Donald Trump could stand to lose millions of dollars if he succumbs to temptation and resumes communicating with the masses through Twitter now that new boss Elon Musk reinstated his account.

...

Truth Social is a privately held property of Trump Media & Technology Group, which is owned by the former president.

TMTG is locked into an agreement with Digital World Acquisition Corp., a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC), which was created to take Trump’s company public.

If Trump’s company were to go public only for him to devalue Truth Social by resuming his Twitter activities — and thus giving his tens of millions of followers a reason to abandon the fledgling social media platform and return to Musk’s outfit — shareholders could sue him

Own. Petard. Hoist.
 
Last night I told my wife there's video of Trump, shaking like he's got Parkinson's, grabbing a water bottle with two hands and taking a drink. I swear I've seen it, but I can't find it now, anywhere. Did this happen or am I Mandelling this memory?

Maybe. This is the two handed drinking one I remember
 
I just an across this article from 2021 but I found it interesting. Paul Ryan, ex-Speaker of the House, believed Trump had NPD and researched how to deal with him. It suggests that one of the reasons Ryan left Congress was because he didn't want to deal with Trump.

Ryan was Speaker of the House. That's a powerful position, and Ryan was generally respected (maybe too much so) as a responsible policy wonk. He had the weight to take Trump on, or at least set limits to his worst impulses. Instead he rolled over and did everything he could to accomodate him. Profile in cowardice.
 
Trump's niece about his psychopathology:
Joining MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell, clinical psychologist Mary Trump discusses what she says is a disconnect between what the people closest to Donald Trump claim he’s feeling ahead of a possible indictment and what she knows to be true as his niece.

Or he found out nobody in his own party wanted to back him.
 
Trump's niece about his psychopathology:


Interesting. I agree that Trump is incapable of feeling sadness outside self-pity. He is so narcissistic that all he feels is always directly connected to himself. When we watch his statements, they consist overwhelmingly of anger, presenting himself as a victim, his grievances, and declaring how great he is. He is incapable of feeling true, unconditional love.

I don't think I'm completely alone in suggesting that any was too much.
 
A Degenerate Psychopath

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries criticized former President Donald Trump for his escalation of rhetoric against Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg who is overseeing the investigation into Trump’s alleged role in hush money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels.
Trump warns of death and destruction if he's charged (CNN on YouTube, Mar 24, 2023)

Donald Trump issued a warning via his social media platform, Truth Social, regarding "potential death and destruction" if he is charged in a criminal case related to alleged hush-money payments to adult-film actress Stormy Daniels. This marks Trump's most explicit reference to violence if he faces an indictment from Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's investigation. Trump referred to Bragg as a "degenerate psychopath" in his post-midnight message. The Morning Joe panel reacts.
'Potential death and destruction': Trump threatens D.A. with violent imagery (MSNBC on YouTube, Mar 24, 2023)
 
"Trump referred to Bragg as a "degenerate psychopath". With Trump, every accusation is a confession.

Anyone who thinks Trump cannot be diagnosed as having NPD, isn't looking.
 
Judging by the people at recent Trump's rallies, I would say that he seems to have lost momentum at this point. People appear to be just plain bored with his old antics, which may explain why he is trying to come up with a new one, i.e. calling his (judicial, not political) enemies degenerate psychopaths and threatening them with potential death and destruction.

But does it catch? Hasn't his audience lost interest in the Trump circus?
I think that some of his fans may actually hope to see him in orange, and not just because it will match his complexion.
And MAGA politicians like MTG would love to visit him in jail and complain about the way he's being treated by the Deep State.

Maybe he is even considering this as the better option, which would explain why he seems to be rehearsing for the role: Trump asking friends if he should smile for the cameras if arrested, reports say (Independent, Mar 22, 2023)
 
Wait Wait... Don't tell me!

Pay Attention To What You See: Donald Trump Is Losing His Marbles by Michael Tomasky

More from Trump’s Truth Social feed: “Does anybody really believe that
the COCAINE found in the West Wing of the White House, very close to
the Oval Office, is for the use of anyone other than Hunter & Joe Biden.”

Hunter Biden wrote in his memoir that he’s been clean since 2019; but
let’s face it, when one hears “cocaine in the White House,” he does leap
to mind. But then, Trump throws Joe Biden in there.

Who thinks Joe Biden does blow?

It’s unhinged, and it’s a sign that Trump’s hold on reality, always tenuous,
is vaporizing and that he’s even more emboldened now to say even more
outrageous things than he said in 2016, which after all is the logic of outrage:
It has to get more extreme in order to continue to have shock value.

What even more unhinged thing might he be capable of saying on a debate
stage next fall?


Whose line is it anyway?

Trump not mentally fit to be President

I had argued in the recent past that Joe Biden seemed to no longer be in good mental and neurological shape, but Trump seemed to be ok. Clearly I was wrong. After reading some of Trump's posts on Truth Social, its clear Trump is no longer mentally fit to be President. I believe now that his mental status should disqualify him from the race. He seems dangerously deranged, irrational, delusional and people like this should not have control of an arsenal of nuclear weapons.

Trump's partially coherent, aggrieved spiels are like 99% of appeal. Any indictment of Trump's personality is likewise an indictment of a sizable minority of the American public who find this kind of screed affirming of their values.

That is to say, the 2016 election is proof that Trump's derangement is not disqualifying.
