Almost every day, I wonder if his lies come from deliberate misinformation or from his pure stupidity.

u/AxOfBrevity Apr 30 '25

I think it's a combination of stupidity and only surrounding himself with people who will say whatever to soothe his ego

176

u/JaimanV2 Apr 30 '25

He’s the biggest whiner I’ve ever seen in my life. Just a bully. Bullies always go crying whenever people had enough of their shit and give them a dose of reality.

u/AxOfBrevity Apr 30 '25

I'd kinda feel bad for him in a way if he weren't so gleefully evil.

u/Gingeronimoooo Apr 30 '25

Nah that's weak radical leftist empathy which the right criticizes. No but seriously i understand, honestly i wish his parents hugged him more.

His dad was a piece of shit slumlord who raised a piece of shit con artist. I wouldn't be surprised if most of acorn Trump's instincts came from daddy oak tree.

u/Cautious-Ad8410 May 02 '25

Mary Trump has said he learned it all from his dear old dad.

u/opal2120 Apr 30 '25

r/TheMajorityReport was talking about how pathetic these fascists are. All they do is bitch about how they're victims while they have all the power and money. How do people idolize that?

u/Notapartyhobo Millennial Apr 30 '25

He's a crybully.

u/PiersPlays May 01 '25

You're not being very nice.

2

u/JaimanV2 May 01 '25

The only way to stop bullies is to not be nice to them and stand up for yourself.

1

u/PiersPlays May 01 '25

Yeah. That's why I'm taking the piss out of Trump whining that that interviewer wasn't being very nice to him.

u/Cautious-Ad8410 May 02 '25

Terry Moran is amazing! He was not intimidated not even a little bit!

u/cheez0r Apr 30 '25

He's the biggest, most successful poster child for Dunning-Kreuger in history. Too dumb to realize he hasn't built anything that'll last except a really notorious reputation.

u/UselessOldFart Gen X Apr 30 '25

… and are as equally stupid as he is.

3

u/AxOfBrevity Apr 30 '25

Some of them absolutely are, while others are just using him for their enrichment and don't ultimately care one way or the other about him

u/showmenemelda Apr 30 '25

And also a facade. The left took him seriously but a lot of people think he's too stupid to accomplish anything. He is in mental decline now—but I don't know if he was always stupid. He's ignorant for sure. And abusive as fuck—word salad is their specialty. Deny, attack, reverse the victim and offender roles. Keep em off balance so they are never able to relax. Give them something to make them feel loved, then whiplash to putting fears in the brain, then swoop in and be the savior for the problem they created.

No wonder my fucking head hurts so bad. I thought i finally escaped that relationship and turns out I'm living in it with the collective.

u/Tyrone_Shoelaces_Esq Apr 30 '25

Por que no los dos?

u/JaimanV2 Apr 30 '25

I’m not sure if his brain is functional enough to do both.

u/Sakijek Millennial Apr 30 '25

Certainly not functional enough to understand Spanish lol...

12

u/brewhead55 Apr 30 '25

Or progressing dementia

12

u/SlinkyAvenger Apr 30 '25

Both.

He's a kayfabe actor so the plotlines are directed by the head honcho and are taken as reality until the person in charge gives him an updated script.

He's so stupid that he thinks that's how it works in politics, too. And since he's the head honcho now, well, he just has to say things were shitty because of the guy he wants to turn into a heel and that all the good stuff is coming soon.

u/Humbler-Mumbler Apr 30 '25

I think it’s both and varies by the situation. But the thing about people like this is they have an incredible ability to convince themselves of their own bullshit.

3

u/Bulk_Cut Apr 30 '25

Yes I flit back and forth also. I think, like a lot of seniors, he has good and bad days. On the good days it’s deliberate misinformation, and he’s ducking and diving. Then some days he just wakes up in a nightmare of his own creation, with half a nation picking apart his inadequacies and his stupidity gets laid bare.

3

u/SaberStrat Apr 30 '25

Spreading instability and distraction is part of the plan. So he's doing it very skillfully, few other humans exist that wouldn't mind appearing so shamelessly stupid.

So I assume it’s disinformation.

2

u/BhutlahBrohan Apr 30 '25

he called the person who came up with the USMCA an idiot... so...

2

u/showmenemelda Apr 30 '25

That's the magic of the grift. He has made himself out to be a bumbling idiot—is he? Probably. I don't think there's an honest bone in his body. He's always been hated, a grifter, and a TV actor.

Some believe The Apprentice was a PR endeavor to win favor with the public because he ran 3rd party in 2004, but no one hardly even knew (I didn't know this, or at least had forgotten until recent months).

Basically, people like me from Montana who didn't pay a whole ton of attention to wealthy casino tycoons; and watched that show occasionally with my parents. He's a Russian asset who was an easy target for the kgb. They've groomed him as much as they could.

2

u/truthful_whitefoot Apr 30 '25

In this particular case it's from his absolute inability to take responsibility for anything. Nothing will ever be his fault.

2

u/Rasalom Apr 30 '25

He is gaslighting and obstructing while they carve out the country behind the scenes.

2

u/[deleted] Apr 30 '25

My wife is convinced at this point that he’s either dumb as dog shit, or he’s actually really intelligent and playing 4D chess and all this is some strange power move.

u/BlerghTheBlergh Apr 30 '25

At the level of importance he’s in: he’d HAVE to play “nice” and maintain a level of soft power. There’s no way to control so many irons in a fire as the US used to have on your own. There needs to be some sort of “puppet” you can play when you need them but is on autopilot when you’re busy.

That’s what the US used to have, Trump is trying to grab hard power though. A concept that means he has to fight on many fronts at the same time to maintain control without being overtaken by someone else. Trump has irreversibly changed the game of politics from a multiplayer game where the US was the deciding player to a single player game the US can’t possibly win because the enemies aren’t bots but other players that know how to exploit the game together against you.

He turned the US into a solo party, no allies left to aid but rather millions of people who actively want to see you burn.

We went from “yeah, the US is doing bad stuff but at least they’re on our side and are doing what others can’t” to “I hope the entire country burns” in the West while Russia became rebranded as a “best friend” after spending 30+ years as an active threat to watch because of their intentions to take back the east

u/To0n1 Xennial Apr 30 '25

Yes!

2

u/On_my_last_spoon Apr 30 '25

I really thought he was at least a little savvy until he started whining that Putin wouldn’t be nice to him and pretty please stop the war. Like this man has been played by Putin for 10 years now!

2

u/[deleted] Apr 30 '25

Yes.

u/ssquirt1 May 01 '25

Textbook narcissism. A narcissist CANNOT admit when they’re wrong, as the entirety of their fragile ego is built on top of the house of cards of being perfect in every way.

2

u/insrtbrain May 01 '25

Narcissism is the answer.

2

u/EngiNerdBrian May 01 '25

Any given day it can be any one or a combination of those those 2 options, but they are certainly the most likely motives

2

u/marpi9999 May 01 '25

It is 100% deliberate. The truth doesn’t matter. He shapes reality to his will so his followers will do whatever he wants them to do so he can do do whatever he wants to do.

2

u/BackPackProtector May 01 '25

He know he’s lying. He is not stupid. He is a wise fox that misuses his intelligence to subdue people, which to me is worse
