Is Donald "Trump" even compos mentis?

And yet HRC is struggling.:frowning:

Actually, “glossolalia” is speaking in tongues. Echolalia is repeating what others say.

I’m not sure what the proper term for Trump’s style of babbling is (I’m pretty sure one exists), but it’s more “throw out meaningful sounding nonsense and let gullible people hear what they want to hear in it”. Verbal white noise. It’s a con artist trick, which is what he is.

I just want to know where these smut filled casinos are. I missed the smut. I just got the gambling and the buffet.

I believe a quote from that noted sage Hank Hill is appropriate here: “That boy ain’t right.”

Which does for Trump and the OP, IMHO.

… I hear the burgers have umlaut…

iLemming, speaking as somebody whose mother changed her surname, go to hell. Donald Trump is not and has never been “Donald Drumpf”. Stop being a bigoted sack of shit.

apparently compos mentis is Latin for “look how fucking smart I am!”

It’s kind of interesting looking at all of his OPs and watching his slow descent into incomprehensibility. He’s always been of pretty singular purpose, sure, but he didn’t always write this way. It’s only in the recent past that he began writing these screeds.

My initial thought was that he was in high school when he joined and started taking a college comp class recently, but I don’t think the content of his earlier threads really backs up that theory.

Based on his earlier habit of disappearing for months at a time only to return and immediately start a political thread, I’m going with “attention seeker who never got quite enough attention and decided to take a shot at trolling.”

I vote Vocabulary Bot.

It must be reiterated that being an asshole does not equate to a diagnosis of mental illness.

In that context, I’m more concerned about the OP.* :eek:

*DSM-V 382.11 Excessive font, bolding and italic changes, inappropriate use of forums. A moderator-defined condition, rarely curable.

You and a few others need to grab your nearest dictionary and look up ‘performance art’. Or, more succinctly, trolling. Hate the art but respect the artist.

OPs like this make me fondly remember the clarity of the Time Cube guy.

Trolling and performance art are mutually disjoint categories, and I only respect artists who are, you know, artists.

Even if you accept that trolling is even potentially an art, this isn’t it. This is try-hard bullshit with no flair or style.

Yes, this. All of this. But like I have said before, HRC lies, so we have no choice :rolleyes: :smack:

Wish I had the savings to move to Vancouver or the Mexican Riviera right about now.

iLemming, some of your ideas aren’t bad, but your style is excruciating. Do yourself a favor: throw out your Roget and simplify your overwrought prose. If you learn to communicate simply and directly, the rest of us may find you offer something worth reading.

Troll 1 Derper 0

:confused: I don’t understand.

I gather the main reason anyone cares about “Drumpf” is because it sounds vaguely comical. If the clan was originally called “Warhammer” (changed to “Trump” for professional reasons), it’d be used by fuzzy-brained supporters, not addled-minded opponents.

Like Schicklgruber.

Whereas “dze Jughashvili” is deadly serious.

Purgably serious.
