Just praise his ego and he is putty in your hands. “Mr. Trump, you are such a tough negotiator. The best I have ever seen. maybe the best there ever was. I can’t believe you got me to offer half of the asking price for the condo.” ---

I think I’m mad because I almost realize that he is not like normal human beings and cannot be appealed to on the basis of any kind of reason, compassion, or kindness. I recall sadam hussians son who was completely and totally warped due to the things he witnessed or was forced to do when he was a child. Trumps father must have exposed him to how to be a brutish, hollow version of a human being. He stands aside from mankind and witnesses, but does not participate emotionally. So, thats why no amount of insults and criticism can stop his behavior. I think the only way is to kill him and once he is out of office he will live a life, just like Husein, trying to avoid death. Somewhere out there is someone who is just waiting. So, today, when that video came out, harking back to the one with the perpetually rotating turnstile, it hit me how vile and unstoppable he is. And they say, people always believe first what you say, not what you do. And you can’t stop someone who truly doesn’t care. I wish Ivanka and her husband hadn’t gone with him to the synagogue. I used to admire her. And she has children. Barron will be warpped; his thugs will kill his wife if she tries to interfere. She knows that. I won’t be around when all the terrible results of his brutish ways come to pass. Thank God. tomorrow I might think again that there is something someone can say to stop him even though there is nothing. Voting in his favor is like destroying your future and that of your family. ---

Trump’s supporters are hit in the face daily with an irony stick so big I can only assume that they literally are incapable of understanding what they hear, say or do.

I saw a good ten minutes of that performance of his today. I’ll read what Republicans say, I’ll read about what Republicans say, I’ll listen to what people have to say about what Republicans say. But I haven’t heard a Republican speak for more than 30 seconds or so since around 2003. Until today. Lord Thunderin’ Jesus this guy’s full of shit. And his rally-ish slamming of Dems in the middle of a Presidential Speech was beyond the Pale. Why people don’t see through this guy’s lies eludes me entirely. Same planet, different worlds. ---

CNN opened their reporting on today’s events by saying that President Trump gave a campaign speech in the guise of a presidential policy statement, and it was filled with distortions and lies. Literally using those words. So a lot of people see through him, and are saying so – but the people who are falling for it don’t watch CNN. ---

Of course he’s full of crap. That doesn’t matter. Sometime yesterday, I messaged this to a friend: > [@](#): > > What I don’t get is the incredible amount of support for Trump. Maybe it’s because they know how awful he is that they have to hypnotize themselves by uttering nonsense about him. Really, don’t his supporters sound and act like they’re victims of those stage hypnotists? “Dance like a chicken. Cry like a wolf. Vote for someone who will destroy your country.” It’s all so they don’t have to accept the simple fact that they voted for him because they bought into outrageous lies against the competent candidate. Oh, and who was it touting those lies on the campaign trail? Hmmmm. ---

That has to be frustrating. That’s why he’s saying it’s fake news. **And he’s saying, if you don’t want to be called the enemy, then get the story right, be accurate and report the story the way that I want it reported.** my bold Yes.

According to multiple reporters I follow on Twitter, Trump said the following at a rally tonight: “Now, we did have two maniacs stop a momentum that was incredible. Because for 7 days, nobody talked about the elections. It stopped a tremendous momentum.” Good to know his priorities are in the right place. ---

> [@Rick\_Kitchen](#): > > Trump said he’s going to build a concentration camp/tent city the size of Vermont to hold the millions of immigrants coming illegally into the country. Didn’t he justify that by stating there are many caravans filled with gang members and violent criminals? Okay, Neon Nincompoop; exactly how many caravans, where are they now, which gangs have members in them, and which violent crimes have the criminals in them committed? Hmmm…for something that’s not on the news at all (the additional caravans; the one already is), the tangerine twit sure does seem to know a lot about them. A cynical person might consider that he’s the one organizing these wagon trains. A realist, though, would come to the correct conclusion: he’s a lying sack of shit. ---

Oh, and who was it touting those lies on the campaign trail? Hmmmm. It’s racial insecurity. I’ve got bad news for you. This country is still about 70-75% white. And half of whites -maybe more than half - are afraid of a changing country. So 35-37.5% of the country isn’t a majority, but it’s enough to keep winning elections. And the other 2/3 of the country will fight with each other over how to fight the 37.5% of voters who are enabling American Nazis. ---
