Trump's Second Term

[AmyStrange]

Yeah, they're very strange, it's like the one who used to follow him around with a portable printer during his first term to supply him with positive headlines. Some of the notes she left him him were.. disturbing, to say the least.

I take umbrage with that you bastard! (just kidding)

How can someone with such a lame* personality have a cult of personality?

I know it was a rhetorical question, but I googled and found this, and I found it pretty enlightening.

Explaining the Trump loyalty cult phenomenon

Despite Donald Trump's erratic behaviour, his fan base has formed a loyalty ‘cult’ around him. Yet Elizaveta Gaufman and Adrian Favero explain how it is precisely his transgressive behaviour that is feeding Trump's charismatic authority. And this cult-like devotion of Trump loyalists, they...

Whenever I see, hear or read Leawitt, Bondi, or Noem, I'm reminded of a very disturbing documentary I saw years ago about women who fall in love with extremely deranged criminals (rapists, murderers, …), writing and visiting them in prison, marrying them, getting in trouble with the law for them, and sometimes ending up as their victims …

Don't raise our hopes.

I can get the transgressive behaviour might be attractive in a warped way. But someone who has to cheat at golf? That's not even transgressive, that's just a spoiled brat.

How can you tell when one type of victim ends and it has morphed into a different kind of victim?

Only a Republican ◊◊◊◊◊◊◊ lunatic would even think of allowing uncertified air traffic controllers to fill the positions that they’ve cut.

Sean Duffy: "The secretary of war texted me yesterday and said, 'I might have some air traffic controllers. If you could use them, I'm gonna offer them to you.' I don't know that I can, Jake, because they're not certified in the airspaces that we need them. But if I can, I'm going to use them."

When Schitler dies, they should put his body on a big wooden Viking-style boat, set it afire and float it down the Potomac. Any of his followers who wish to commit sati should be encouraged to do so.

It sounds like he was reading his oath of office? Why would he do that? He was at the game, but the speech part smells like AI, can anyone verify this?

Why would he do that?

Could be asked whenever he does anything these days.

It's a telling insight into Trump that a 'gimmie' is something that your golf partner offers you, but Trump just declairs he's going to take it (according to pretty much everyone who's ever played with him;.

Trump is babbling again at the game. Is he ordering the people there to pledge allegiance to him?
Kari had this in September already:
