Trump Will Be Miserable for the Rest of his Life and Die Miserable

he is already 70 years old and a really old one at that . he looks like shit. Biden is a few years older and appears much younger.

He will forever be compared to OBama . someone like W Bush wouldn't care . but we know Trump does care and i hope people never stop letting him forget . this is the thing that will keep him up at night and unable to sleep.

He already can't deal with the fact he lost the people's vote by such a large number and he knows he is tainted with the Russia thing.

He lost by more popular votes than any President in history. He enters the Presidency with the lowest approval rating. He was in violation of the oath of office the moment he took it because of his businesses and, I suspect, other things we will eventually find out about.

Like he really gives a shit.

He doesn't.

Now that he's got the reigns he's going to force us down on the bed and piss on us.

He acts like he doesn't but he certainly cares what people think of him. The opposite of caring is indifference. If he didn't care, he would not respond to every little slight directed at him. Think about someone who is truly happy with himself, someone at peace with who they are, how do they act? I know a few people like that, they are never rattled by other people's aggression or any slights directed toward them. They feel sad for people who are given over to their anger. They are typically serene. Trump is not like that at all. For all the wealth and notoriety he has, he has no peace in his life.

He has no empathy, which is very different than not being aware of what other people think of you. In psychological terms it is called a narcissistic wound. Every slight is seen as a blow to his self esteem and self worth. Comparing him to Obama, or anyone else will undeniably cause him psychic discomfort.

He may certainly try to, as you say, "force us down on the bed and piss on us" but that won't make him happy either. He NEEDS us to willingly submit to him and constantly validate his worth. If we don't he will rage and live in agony as to why we can't all see his greatness, which is a false image he projects because he feels like crap.

that a ban from using Twitter was imposed. He cares about what he deems as public humiliation and embarrassment. When that happens, he lashes out. So watch out America/World.

unless he decides to spend half of his time in New York and lets everyone else do the real work. It seems obvious that he doesn't much care about policy or details. He just wants to be treated like a king. But he does look like crap. He's asking for trouble if he doesn't lose some weight and get healthy soon.

At best he can have some momentary relief from his deep sense of worthlessness, but it is never long lived. He is never happy, which is why he rarely smiles or laughs like he means it. A person with self worth issues, which I think Trump has, is usually unable to maintain their sense of worth without constant validation. Trump trusts very few people. He doesn't even trust himself. Power and wealth may give him some relief but he can never have enough to fill the void in his self perception.

Money or no money. He's a miserable old bastard and he'll die a miserable death whether it is tomorrow or 20 years from now.

And if the Republic survives this treasonous traitor, history at best will recall him something akin to a Benedict Arnold if not far worse.

Ignorant Russian puppet.

He needs endless adulation and affirmation in the way that a junkie needs his fix. In the campaign he could get that from his adoring crowds of deplorables. But now he is going to be scrutinized and criticized every day. And it's always the angry people whose voices are amplified. So our voices of anger and rejection will be the loudest voices he hears. And eventually even the deplorables will turn against them as the come to appreciate that they have been sold down the river by a narcissistic fuck who cared only for himself. Even the craven and empty Republicans will turn against him as scandal after scandal in his historically corrupt administration drive his approval ratings into the toilet. Within a year he will be a broken man, a spent force, toxic to all who embrace him.

It would be nice to see the deplorables abandon him in droves (like rats on a sinking ship) as the shit hits the fan, but I don't have faith in their intelligence to put the blame where blame is due. They are low information voters and non-critically thinking people who ingest the RW fake news like it's ambrosia. But, I want the vision you laid out to come true. If they have any sort of self-awareness, I hope they OWN this soon-to-be mess and feel ashamed for dragging us all down into the muck with them just so that they could stoke their egos to have "their side" win an election.
