Donald Trump wants to know "Why are people so mean?" This is the thread to tell him

Because you were given the greatest opportunity that can be granted to any American: the chance to lead the nation into a better place. Only 44 other people in history have ever had this opportunity. And you used it to sow hatred, weaken our democracy, feed your pathetic ego and enrich your personal wealth.

Burn in hell.

Because you’re a giant spoiled baby, just like the balloon.

You were mean first, Donald.

Indeed. He has always been nasty, insulting, and derogatory towards others, but due to his paper-thin skin, the moment that he perceives that he is being slighted or treated unfairly, in any way, he immediately starts whining about how “mean” everyone is. Classic bully behavior.

Bites something, anyway.

Because I hate you. You shit on me, my family, what I believe in and stand for and the sacrifices I’ve endured for this country. Because you’ve taken everything good about this country and tried to turn it into a hollow sham and enabled those who claim virtues and attributes they don’t own. Because you and your actions have made my life measurably worse. For that I hate you. There is no level of meanness or torture or suffering that you can experience that will ever atone for what you’ve done you oxygen stealing subhuman parasite.

Well, yeah, but why do you have to be so mean about it?

Because I can

Well, you see, Donny, some people are born into a wealthy family. Sometimes Dad is a prick, and that leaves an impression. Sometimes Dad’s influence keeps them from being drafted, which adds to their sense of entitlement. And, when they’re ready to go out alone into the world, Dad gives them a small $1m loan to start their business with. This embiggens their sense of entitlement. Maybe they figure out that they can start other businesses and run them into the ground, passing the losses on to others and onto the American people. What do they care? They made money overall. Maybe they figure out that they can tell lies and people will send them money. Or, that the meaner they get, the more some people adore them.

He probably doesn’t know what embiggens means either.

Use ‘embigly’

Hes the most embiggest person in the room!

A perfectly cromulent statement, I must say.

Donald, people are mean to you because you will not shut up. You insist on being in the news every day, whether speaking or Twuthing (not sure which Doper came up with that, but I like it). Naturally, you’ll get pushback from the public, and you respond, and you get more pushback, and you respond again. Lather, rinse, repeat.

The American people fired you from your job. You are no longer a public figure; you are a private citizen who no longer matters. If you don’t want people to be mean to you, then shut up, and give them nothing to be mean to you about.

The Germans have a word for it.

Sums him up perfectly.

Douglas Adams used the word “brickable”.

As long as we’re being mean: you’re ugly too, Donald. And stupid.

FWIW, when I was five or six, ‘You’re ugly!’ was my Great Insult. It seems fitting to apply it to Trump.

You forgot to mention his freakishly small hands.

Need a German word that means “he whose grave you’d like to piss on”.
