He happens to love punishing those who don't love him. And He's a gold plated pig who acts like a guttersnipe. How did we go from one of our greatest orators to a nearly illiterate, narcissistic, confidence trickster in one minute on a dark January day?
That being said. He is having a huge effect on young people. And if they can survive without healthcare, may take the world by storm.

(9,145 posts)He is doing his own version of a lawless, politician without scruples or regard for the office.
He offered up his version of inspiration by praising himself and tearing down everyone else. We have no more uglier American than Trump and he's proud of it. Simply repackaged it,
Plus those in attendance were instructed to not jeer him. They obeyed. He became their master.

(9,145 posts)This was a pep talk like they give on Wall Street or pro Football.
He sees the love. If they turn on him, they'll pay a heavy price.
We are his hostages.
"Donald Trump on Tuesday characterized the White House turmoil thats come to define his young presidency as White House stuff, where theyre fighting over who loves me the most.

(9,601 posts)They talked of the how they loved "the Hitler Youth" as an organization. They enjoyed the games, organized events, and friendships they formed there. Of course, at the time, they all thought of Hitler as a "god" in a sense.
Indoctrination starts out that way. Trump is only at his beginnings.......

(28,795 posts)I met his property manager while grifting
as a claims adjuster.....great job.....gave me a car.....only had to go to the office once a week....worked one or two other days
The man had been a Hitler Youth--an athlete
He'd won some sort of track competition and was presented his medal by der fuhrer!
Said he had a very limp handshake
Another time he was swimming in a river and a P-51 swooped in and started strafing him
Said WCS was pretty crazy
He had a party once where he used a 747 escape slide inside the multi story, indoor courtyard at his Spanish stucco estate on Sheridan road in either Wilmette or Glencoe, not far from Charles Percy, the 2d politician I ever saw give a speech
1st was Goldwater
We had this in our front yard for about two years

Hitler presented the medal & I asked him his impression..
"pasty faced with a wet handshake and dreadful halitosis" was his reply.
