How many sycophants surround Trump?

[kentuck]

My bet is that there is not one Republican that is willing to tell him he is wrong about anything?
I think that may be why he kicked the Joint Chiefs and DNI off his security team?

Donald Trump thinks bigly. There is no telling what his next big military venture might be?

Somebody needs to begin an intervention.

And soon.

1. I doubt anyone in his presence has ever told him

anything that doesn't match his distorted world view. Ever.

8. I think some do - Bannon definitely - but...

...it's only to bend the distortion in the direction they want it to go.

And since Kremlin Don is infamous for shifting his opinion toward whoever talked to him last, they make sure they're in a position to speak to him frequently.

9. I think very very few have this "power" over him. If you are not a yes man in his world you are

gone.

2. I think his kids have done it

And it's time for them to do it again.

[Phoenix61]

3. That is all that is around him

Bannon has him on a tight leash.

6. right

fake sycophant

4. All of them are

and I agree that's why they were kicked off.

5. It may be more accurate to say that anybody who does tell him he's wrong

is promptly shown the door. He replaced the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs and the DNI with sycophants like Bannon for exactly that reason. Bannon is clever enough to flatter him, which is what Trump lives for; he knows that with Trump, flattery will get you everywhere. Other GOPers, like those in Congress, have figured out that if they present Trump with unpalatable facts he will either dismiss those facts out of hand or refuse to have anything more to do with the bearer of them (or both). Members of Congress who don't want to be left out in the cold will have to flatter him in order to stay in good standing. If they don't stay in good standing with Trump the deplorables in their districts won't vote for them next time around.

7. May this be his downfall!

10. He needs to be praised

every day.

Well the world hates him except for Pootie he is good boy.

Pootie is waiting for those sanctions to lift then he will be making: see below thread

just a snip


You realize that Putin will make half a trillion dollars from that much untapped oil, right? All pumped tax-free through Crimea, stolen from Ukraine, now owned by Russia?

11. "Beautiful cloak you have on today, Your Orangeness."

Anyone who stands with Trump would have to be a sycophant. They either share his delusions, or are such rampant careerists that they've sold their souls.
