Trump couldn’t possibly have narcissism or any other deleterious traits. He’s been examined by Top Physicians and found to be Perfect in Every Way. ---

The problem with being a professional bootlicker is that you are afraid to tell the Boss about something he won’t like. Then he’ll be angry at you for not telling him. And if you do he’ll be angry at you for not having dealt with it already. But while we’re at it: Trump backing down from harebrained decisions is a GOOD thing.

I’m not sure it is a good thing, at this point complete collapse is probably inevitable and better sooner than later. Also, we’re not N Korea yet and it’s important that Americans see Trump held accountable on some level. ---

Old El Paso did it before, with their Nacho Man advert. Could have an animated plump Trump dancing, as an homage to the original. 😁 ---

I can guarantee one thing. If Trump is planning to roll back any of the new tariffs he put in place, he for sure won’t be doing it on a Tuesday. ---

Trump saying that he’d never heard the term TACO has no bearing on whether he actually had or not. He always hasn’t heard of things (or said things, or done things) that are inconvenient to have heard or said or done. ---

It was disappointing to read about narcissistic collapse, because almost all of it describes trump every day. Until the very end where it lists suicide attempts. Of all the unlikely things to happen … ---

> [@Ulfreida](#): > > Until the very end where it lists suicide attempts. Of all the unlikely things to happen … That was my hope if he lost the election. A few months after the election he would’ve gotten sentenced. Sadly he probably would’ve avoided prison since he’s rich and famous, but if he lost the election and did end up in prison, he may have started becoming suicidal to deal with the total collapse of his false self. ---

I don’t think it will cause much psychological damage, so long as he can convince himself it’s just a few haters (conflating Trump-haters with America-haters; and his ability for conflation rivals his ability for inflation), not the middle America that’s been his reliable support. Not the RW nut jobs. The “I’m a social liberal but fiscal conservative” crowd, around since Reagan. Not like those stupid, obsessed Evangelicals, just annoyed at the big annual tax bill (while blind to the steady gouging by deregulated banks, insurance companies and corporations in general). Let’s see how they react to a big fat orange thumb on the scales. I suspect the tariff fiasco was deflected responsibility via deliberate grand failure. “The American people proved unworthy of the greatness I presented them with,” where have we heard that before uttered at the brink of self-destruction? In fact, we’ll know when he really does become suicidal when he finally does adopt a White House dog; just so he can test the cyanide capsule on it first. ---
