blah, blah, blah. You do realize the guy was theorizing Trump shooting someone on 5th Avenue in the prior post?
No theory, Dotard Donnie said he could shoot someone on 5th Ave and still win. You know, sure thing...but, but, you know...the RUSSIANS.
From Snopes.com: Donald Trump 'Fifth Avenue' Comment
Jesus, Trump really is dumb.
Wait. Are you seriously indicating here that you had never heard this? Omg, it was playing over and over on the (fake news?) channels. All of them: CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS.... I bet Fox has even played it a million times. Wait, they have, haven't they? If you've missed this, then you need to expand your exposure to the "Fake News" (aka Mainstream Media) side of the world.
But trump's weak plea: "don't believe the crap you see and hear. Just stick with us!"
My translation: "I know I suck and say and tweet the most inane (that's actually too big a word for Trump) things imaginable. I can't help myself, it's who I am. But don't believe me. Don't LEAVE me. I need you, please stick with me."
Sorry, no I didn't. May have been thankfully out of the country.
He said it during the primaries. It was his own internal admission of surprise at how much people were supporting him. He is caught up in his own narcissistic story.
From Wikipedia:
In Greek mythology, Narcissus was a hunter from Thespiae in Boeotia who was known for his beauty. He was the son of the river god Cephissus and nymph Liriope. He was proud, in that he disdained those who loved him, causing some to commit suicide to prove their unrelenting devotion to his striking beauty. Nemesis noticed this behavior and attracted Narcissus to a pool, where he saw his own reflection in the water and fell in deeply in love with it, not realizing it was merely an image. Unable to leave the allure of his reflection in the pool and having developed an unrequited love that could never be reciprocated, Narcissus lost his will to live and committed suicide. In some versions of the myth, Narcissus stared into his reflection until he withered away. In all versions, his body disappears and all that is left is a narcissus flower. Narcissus is the origin of the term narcissism, a fixation with oneself and one's physical appearance or public perception
Here's just another humorous piece as evidence of such:
http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2018/08/trump-watches-himself-on-tv.html...But one candidate could not bring himself to pretend that he has much in common with the average
People reader. Does he like bacon and eggs? Sure, but while most people complain about gaining weight on the campaign trail, he bragged that he'd lost 15 pounds because his massive rallies are so exhilarating. He asserted that his secret talent is being excellent at sports. And this is how he answered the question "What's your favorite guilty pleasure TV show?"
Quote:
My guilty pleasure TV show SNL, starring me. They got great ratings. The best ratings in years. It was a terrific success. I enjoyed doing it. It was 50 percent more than Hillary's show. That makes me feel good.
Back in those halcyon days, people probably assumed that Donald Trump was joking, or misunderstood the question. But a new
report from Axios suggests Trump was being honest about
watching himself, and doesn't feel very guilty about this habit. The president is said to
love watching recordings of his debates and rallies but instead of evaluating his performance, he "
luxuriates in the moments he believes are evidence of his brilliance," sometimes
before a small audience. Per Axios:
Quote:
Trump commentates as he watches, according to sources who've sat with him and viewed replays on his TiVo, which is pre-loaded with his favorites on the large TV in the private dining room adjoining the Oval Office. When watching replays, Trump will interject commentary, reveling in his most controversial lines. "Wait for it. See what I did there?" he'll say.
...where does this reporting come from? Unless it's fabricated, it's from leaks from within by those present.
These types of stories, negative and unflattering about Trump and the structure and function within the White House have been extremely common ever since he moved in.
I guess it comes down to a question of "who do you trust? Trump and his followers, or the hundreds of White House reporters?" Given trump's propensity to contradict himself, and all his other insane behavior and statements, they is no contest who I trust. The man is off rails. I do not trust him with nuclear codes. I do not trust him with our economy, environment, social justice, and certainly not with my wife or daughters (pervert!)
In fact, I outright disagree with him on many policy decisions he's made!
He's a ticking time bomb of a disaster waiting to explode, in all our faces.
Unpredictable. Radical. Aloof to the common American. Outright liar.
Dangerous!
