    Sociopath. Even if you hate the guy, if you’re a public figure like trump, the least you can do is muster a bit of empathy.

    But he can’t, because he can’t even fathom the concept of empathy. It’s completely foreign to him.

    Electing sociopaths is how you get war and genocide, as we’ve known for millennia. And we’ve given a total sociopath the levers of genocide, both abroad and at home.

      Not that I think he had much in the way of empathy prior to this, but he lacks a filter of any kind which is a symptom I had to repeatedly apologize for when my grandfather’s dementia got worse.

      The dude has full on dementia, no one is doing anything and he will continue to degrade both himself and the reputation of anything associated with him as this keeps going.

      Funnily enough, dipshit donny might be the best publically perceivable evidence of the need for reform we will ever get.

        Respect and derision are not the only choices.

        e: for example, failure to even acknowledge is a deeper social slight. But that requires a bit of sophistication.

        Despite his many crimes, I am nearly sure Joe Biden has done more to deserve respect than you ever will.

    What he did to his political opponent???

    MOTHERFUCKER, THAT’S YOU!

    He won an election that you and your friends tried to rig and lied about, so you attempted a coup and lied about, then lied about the election, and then lied about lying.

    If you didn’t have your finger on the button, everyone would want you to talk shit about them because that would mean they did something right or cool at least once.

    Article is from May 2025 in case anyone is assuming he just said it. TBH, he’d probably say the same thing today though.

        Fellas, fellas, we can do both. We can wish for him to instantly fall into a coma in which he cannot wake up from. Where all he feels is pain, and agony suffering to survive himself, inside his own brain. Where the only way out to end the torture is for him to push his ego aside, and admit that he’s never been the smartest person in any room.

        Until that happens, he stays artificially life supported in his own coma of hell. Where time fluctuates for him 5 minutes is actually 5 months. And he’ll stay in that state for years.

        Suddenly and instantly gone from our lives, but surviving in a never ending battle against his own ego which he’ll never overcome.

        Trump dying will not stop this. He’s a carnival barker and is not really in charge.

        I really hope his death is very slow, very painful, and very public. I want him to drag his cursed movement down with him. If he abruptly dies, he’ll be a martyr that bolsters this movement, and that would be worse.

          Trump dying will not stop this. He’s a carnival barker and is not really in charge.

          But he’s the one they’re all unifying behind.

          Once he’s gone, everybody else is going to be clamoring to become the next Trump, the next leader of the right wing. And this competition will divide them and turn them against one another. No more cooperation, no more covering for each other’s crimes – they’ll be at each other’s throats, throwing each other under the bus.

          Eventually one will probably come out on top, but until then, the infighting over the power vacuum will cripple them.

      The way he looks like and handles himself it seems he is in the process of experiencing a slow, painful death, but he’s probably too high on painkillers and other drugs to really care.

          What if he has a stroke and loses much of his voluntary muscle function, rendering him unable to walk, talk, or use his hands, but he’s completely present cognitively so knows he’s trapped in a broken, doomed body and has to see and feel the Haitian immigrants wiping his ass every day at the home his children put him in

          I hope he gets something that makes him shit himself all the time, that he gets an embarrassing level of dementia, that it shows Republicans how shit they are, and he’s rated as one of the worst presidents to ever live.
