(36,747 posts)Dump is incapable of it.
He is mentally ill and needs to be removed ASAP via the 25th amendment.
Good OP; recommended.
I try not to hate anyone. But Trump is making it hard.

This smug asshole seriously need to be taken down to size.
He really thinks he is untouchable.

Just keep tweeting stuff like that to help other people see what he is.
I can't say I hate him. I pity him. I just want him GONE, as soon as possible.

(3,191 posts)Their constant drain on ones time, energy, happiness, well being..... BUT if they are continually exposed and humiliated they will finally slink away, they can't take being shunned. Keep the exposure on the vampire tRump.

(111,318 posts)It takes practice to be unimpressed with them but that's the thing that is the most painful to a narcissist.
The opposite of love isn't hate. It's indifference.
OMG it took me years to figure that out. I caught my narc in so many lies, deceit, scams, fabrications..and I would have fool proof evidence but he just kept dumping it on me. When I finally just said "you are not worth anymore of me, and quite frankly I don't give a shit what you do" and closed the door in his face did he leave.
It took me a few years I'm sorry to say.

(13,485 posts)is a control technique, even considered hypnotic. I used to think he was doing this as a technique but now I dont think he's smart enough to know it's a thing. I think he stumbled on it years ago by accident, does it by habit and thinks he's just the greatest communicator on earth.

(90,779 posts)And if you can't clap and cheer on cue, Trump doesn't give a fuck about you.
Even then, he only cares as long as the rally lasts.

(14,586 posts)Trump just doesn't seem to 'get' that other people have feelings and needs.
Sigh.
I guess we all exist merely to help him in some way.
Deep sigh.
But, hey, in this capitalist utopia that is America, we see that sociopathy is increasingly encouraged, looked up to. Face it, most CEOs are sociopaths, or at least have many of those traits.
We got one in the White House - but there are hundreds, thousands out there. People who will watch while you suffer or even die if you can't afford to buy their fucking product. And don't forget the predatory capitalists - the bankers. Oh, hey, bad credit? NO PROBLEM. Sure! We'll loan you the money. 65% interest though. Here, sign on this line...

(5,810 posts)in many ways is wasted emotion. The truth is tRump is not normal and we keep expecting normal bahavior. He is not wired to be normal. This didn't just become obvious as he grew into adulthood. All the elements of a narcissist were there even in childhood. It is how he landed in military style school because his parents hoped the discipline and order in that environment could be "trained" into him.
The problem with tRump can't be fixed. It is who he is. No pill, no therapy will replace what he lacks. He is an empty black hole of need that needs constant gratification so he can feel good. Imagine a balloon that gets pumped up and then empties out when you let go of it. That is tRump to a tee. His oxygen is cheering crowds, good press, lots and lots of attention. But when it stops, even briefly, he deflates and starts the cycle all over again. We've witnessed it in his short time in office. Everything revolves around him and his unquenchable thirst for approval and credit.
So we keep expecting him to somehow change and learn but it is not going to happen. At 71, he has had a long history of being self absorbed. If he was going to learn to be a kinder person with regard for others he would have done so decades ago. Keep reminding yourself he is who he is and he has not hidden that. In fact, during the campaign, he highlighted those awful traits about himself as if they were assets.
The people who should be getting our wrath are the enablers who helped put him in office. His family (who probably have some narcissistic traits, too), the Republican leaders who got behind him and pushed his candidacy and of course the Russians who hacked, gave fake news and in general made his "election" happen. They knew the real truth about tRump but for their own selfish reasons championed his candidacy. They are the real reason tRump got elected.
So now we need to channel our anger into something positive. Do everything we can to make sure Mueller's investigation is completed. If Mueller is stopped, get behind the state level investigations. Never let up on exposing tRump for the fraud and con man he is. He may be a sick, hopelessly flawed person but we don't have to sit by and let him destroy this country. He must go, but not because we hate him. He needs to go because of what he is doing to us. We must stick together with the common goal of removing him from office and making sure he is held accountable for the crimes he committed in his efforts to be elected.
