But the whoppers he tells are so self-defeating… I completely agree. Answering a series of well-thought out questions is going to be disastrous for him. However the thread was about only having to answer one question - which sadly is easy to avoid. ---

Which is why the questions I proposed above do not expect an answer and are simply taking advantage of the opportunity to say to his face that his bullshit doesn’t fool everyone and there are people who clearly see what a pathetically insecure fuckhead loser he really is. ---

I would like to ask him: Mr. Trump, Some of the great leaders such as Alexander the Great proclaimed to be not just an ordinary man, but son of Zeus, that gave him automatic status and abilities beyond what a common person would have and made him a natural leader and superior to all others. Are you something like that too? Even if Trump never though of that, the very idea of being superior in such a way would be too tempting not to take the bait. ---

> [@Little\_Nemo](#): > > The purpose of my question was not to imply Trump voters are idiots. The purpose in pointing out how Trump betrayed his most loyal supporters . . . Agreed. I was responding to the claim, in your post, of there being few Obama - Trump swing voters, and then thinking about other proposed questions. I think that a few questions about his disloyalty, to those who choose to support him, might actually have a small net positive swing voter impact. They are liable to wanting a candidate to stand for something, and fight, no matter what it is. ---

Mr. Trump, for your Mother’s Day message you posted this- “Happy Mother’s Day to ALL, in particular the Mothers, Wives and Lovers of the Radical Left Fascists, Marxists, and Communists who are doing everything within their power to destroy and obliterate our once great Country. Please make these complete Lunatics and Maniacs Kinder, Gentler, Softer and, most importantly, Smarter, so that we can, quickly, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!” Why couldn’t you think of anything nice to say about your own mother or the mothers of your children? ---

> [@ASanders](#): > > I would truly love to know what was going on in his head for him to commit such a supreme dereliction of duty in full view of the entire country. Not that I want to put on hip waders and slog through the swamp that is his brain, but I think this was going through his mind - “Look at those people getting maced, and clubbed and sent to the hospital. They are doing it for ME,ME,ME. They love me. I’m the greatest man on earth” He wanted to watch the spectacle of people ruining their lives for HIM. Never in his life has he felt so loved. That, and the meal worms in his head believed it could work. And sadly, it just might have if it had gone to the house for a vote. ---

I think the answer is simple and obvious. He thought they would succeed. He thought the people had risen up in support of him to overthrow the tyrant Biden and restore the rightful President. He thought it would be a great moment in History, along side the Boston Tea Party and the storming of the Bastille. Only when they lost did he try to disclaim responsibility. ---
