> [@Pleonast](#): > > Trump literally can’t imagine someone willingly giving up power. It’s pure projection of his own self onto others. Exactly. Trump is literally describing what **he** would do if he had the nomination – or thought he had it – and suddenly didn’t have it any more. He’d move heaven and earth to get it back **as his right**. I remember when the 2020 election results were first announced, Trump argued – before he later went into full election-denial mode – that it just **wasn’t fair** , because he had a big victory celebration all planned out and ready to go, and now they couldn’t do it! That’s just how the orange simpleton sees the world: always about him, and always petty. ---

Here’s the original, I was surprised to find I could read it without an account. > **[Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump)](https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/112916846922600265)** > > What are the chances that Crooked Joe Biden, the WORST President in the history of the U.S., whose Presidency was Unconstitutionally STOLEN from him by Kamabla, Barrack HUSSEIN Obama, Crazy Nancy Pelosi, Shifty Adam Schiff, Cryin’ Chuck Schumer, and... By the way, why does Trump want to look like Nuke from Marvel Comics? [![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/1/12/Nuke_%28Marvel_Comics_character%29.png) ](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/1/12/Nuke_%28Marvel_Comics_character%29.png) He was a failed science experiment that went insane. Then again, his backstory is a bit familiar. > The disturbed son of a wealthy, abusive, alcoholic, upper-class woman in Ohio, Frank soon developed an unhealthy affection for his babysitter, the only real maternal figure in his life. The biggest difference is that Nuke/Frank actually served in the Vietnam War. ---

Trump’s press secretary, Kristine Leavitt, criticized Walz for allowing felons to vote. Guess she doesn’t want her boss to be able to cast a ballot. > “From proposing his own carbon-free agenda, to suggesting stricter emission standards for gas-powered cars, and embracing policies to allow convicted felons to vote, Walz is obsessed with spreading California’s dangerously liberal agenda,” Leavitt’s statement said.

> [@Pleonast](#): > > Trump literally can’t imagine someone willingly giving up power. I just saw _Hamilton_ on Broadway a few days ago, and of course this is one of its themes: King George’s surprised wonder that Washington could hand over the reins to Adams after his two terms. The King’s reaction always gets a laugh from the audience…but since January 6, it’s palpably a nervous laugh. ---

Wait, that right isn’t it. Trump can’t vote? Sure it’s not true, but is he trying to say he’s going interview Musk, or Musk interview him. ---

> [@enipla](#): > > Wait, that right isn’t it. Trump can’t vote? It’s complicated. Trump was convicted in New York but (presumably still) registered to vote in Florida. [Florida law](https://dos.fl.gov/elections/for-voters/voter-registration/felon-voting-rights/) on the subject is: > [@](#): > > - A felony conviction in another state makes a person ineligible to vote in Florida only if the conviction would make the person ineligible to vote in the state where the person was convicted. And [New York law](https://www.nyclu.org/resources/know-your-rights/voting-criminal-record) is: > [@](#): > > ##### In New York, you CAN vote with a criminal record if you: > > - were convicted of a misdemeanor; or > - are on parole; or > - are on probation; or > - were not sentenced to prison or had your prison sentence suspended; or > - served your maximum prison sentence; or > - were pardoned. IANAL but I read that as Trump will be able to vote unless he’s in or been sentenced to prison. ---

> [@Pleonast](#): > > It’s pure projection of his own self onto others You can see the projection right in that Twuth. he refers to " _Kamabla, Barrack HUSSEIN Obama, Crazy Nancy Pelosi, Shifty Adam Schiff, Cryin’ Chuck Schumer,_" as the people Biden “hates the most in the world”.

I _ **wish** _ I was able to find it funny. That kind of stuff just nauseates me. I read and listen to the absolute batshit insane things that trump writes and says, and I _ **cannot believe** _ he is still in a position where he has a very good chance to be reelected President. Who reads an absolutely demented post like that and thinks “yep, that’s my guy!”? Who can listen to him babbling about boat batteries and sharks, or the ‘late great Hannibal Lector’ and think “that is the man I want running my country!”? Rhetorical questions. I understand as well as I’m ever going to. Which is to say, not much. ---

Trump is rewriting his fanfic from a few years ago which was saying that he was secretly President and that All Would Be Revealed come August 13th, 2021.
