Twitter had a field day this morning after President Trump retweeted a meme @Fuctupmind tweeted at him showing him hitting a golf ball at Hillary Clinton.

The President retweeted a bunch of things this morning, but this one stuck out:

1. Words fail me....thanks DonViejo. nt

[emulatorloo]

2. So weird. Why can't Trump get over winning the election?

Election was in November 2016. It is now September 2017, why is he tweeting this dumb video now? A response to "What Happened" ? Maybe that's it but it is infantile and dumb.

[jrthin]

4. He can't get over the election because in his heart,

He knows he did not win it.

[Scarsdale]

13. Not only did he NOT win

he has no idea what the job entails!! He is doing a crappy job, day after day. Worst mistake the gop has made, and that is saying something. Trying to normalize this dimwit is next to impossible. The office of the president will take YEARS to make whole again. This clown has damaged it, maybe beyond repair. Obviously, the gop thinks any idiot can play president.

[NNadir]

24. +1,000,000

[ATL Ebony]

14. Absolutely.

43. E. A. Poe wrote about this some time back .... the Tell Tale Heart

The officers were satisfied. My manner had convinced them. I was singularly at ease. They sat, and while I answered cheerily, they chatted of familiar things. But, ere long, I felt myself getting pale and wished them gone. My head ached, and I fancied a ringing in my ears: but still they sat and still chatted. The ringing became more distinct: --It continued and became more distinct: I talked more freely to get rid of the feeling: but it continued and gained definiteness --until, at length, I found that the noise was not within my ears. No doubt I now grew very pale; --but I talked more fluently, and with a heightened voice. Yet the sound increased --and what could I do? It was a low, dull, quick sound --much such a sound as a watch makes when enveloped in cotton. I gasped for breath --and yet the officers heard it not. I talked more quickly --more vehemently; but the noise steadily increased. I arose and argued about trifles, in a high key and with violent gesticulations; but the noise steadily increased. Why would they not be gone? I paced the floor to and fro with heavy strides, as if excited to fury by the observations of the men --but the noise steadily increased. Oh God! what could I do? I foamed --I raved --I swore! I swung the chair upon which I had been sitting, and grated it upon the boards, but the noise arose over all and continually increased. It grew louder --louder --louder! And still the men chatted pleasantly, and smiled. Was it possible they heard not? Almighty God! --no, no! They heard! --they suspected! --they knew! --they were making a mockery of my horror!-this I thought, and this I think. But anything was better than this agony! Anything was more tolerable than this derision! I could bear those hypocritical smiles no longer! I felt that I must scream or die! and now --again! --hark! louder! louder! louder! louder!



"Villains!" I shrieked, "dissemble no more! I admit the deed! --tear up the planks! here, here! --It is the beating of his hideous heart!"

[iluvtennis]

64. Yes, he knows he colluded with Putin to steal it from Hillary. Corrupt bastard.

[Oneironaut]

54. Because he lost the popular vote. His man-baby ego can't take it.

[BigmanPigman]

56. Not just that but also he is INSANE! Also it is another distraction from the ACA Repeal

nightmare while the GOP has secretly been manipulating and buying the votes of traitor McCain and his hypocritical, greedy sociopath colleagues. I am glad Kelley is controlling him so well. Nothing can control him except for a staightjacket. Lock him up in a mental institution for our country's safety.

[monmouth4]

3. Don't worry, Hillary will have the last laugh, believe me..n/t

[DK504]

11. This comes out after she showed what presidential looks like.

This comes after she showed us exact what we could have had.

[alterfurz]

5. "Republicans don't have a sense of humor...

...they have a mean streak, and think that is the same thing."

[Girard442]

31. That's a good observation.

Gonna use that one.

[AnotherMother4Peace]

36. Typical reply of a sadist: "What's the matter with you, can't you take a joke?" - to further demean

their victim.

[nikatnyte]

37. It takes empathy to have a sense of humor

You have to actually care about the target of humor for it to be truly funny, which is why you don't see many (or, actually, any) Republican comedians. It's also why Trump never attempts actual humor, which can be very useful in negotiating "deals".

[MoonRiver]

67. It also takes intelligence...nuff said

[Baitball Blogger]

6. David Frum speaks for me.

Trump is king of the deplorables.

[smirkymonkey]

7. He has to be the biggest asshole on the planet.

The problem is that there are so many assholes out there who applaud what he does and even encourage it. So much for my former belief that most people are basically good.

[Madam45for2923]

8. Encouraging future Skhrelis.

[nolabear]

25. That was my first thought too. What's the difference?

GOD I have never wanted anyone gone so much in my life.

[TNNurse]

9. He is such a petty little man.

I forgot immature.

[flibbitygiblets]

10. I take it his handlers are at church?

[nikatnyte]

38. Even Kelly can't be by his side 24/7

[dalton99a]

12. 71 years old and still in fifth grade

[Susan Calvin]

15. Really. nt

[lastlib]

52. During the campaign, I called him.....

..."a third-grade bully with a first-grade education." He didn't learn anything in the intervening time, and had no social growth either. So he resorts to bullying. I have seen nothing to make me change that assessment.

It's a good thing the guy is rich enough to have his own company, because nobody with firing brain neurons would hire the dipshit to work for them.

[USALiberal]

16. Yet his base LOVE THIS SHIT. They are deplorable's!!!! n/t

[lark]

17. Still "worst person in the entire world"!

He totally sickens me, I can't watch him talk, it just raises my blood pressure and males me feel sick at my stomach. He's so vile it shows in his looks, totally bloated, no muscle tone at all with weirdly deformed semi-hair.

[Volaris]

19. Oh don't worry. He'll look a lot better after Mueller indicts his ass.

He'll look Bigly Great in court...The BEST EVER.

[lark]

22. That might be the one time I can watch him talk and not gag.

Justice is a beautiful thing and one I long to see. True justice is removing all the colluding repugs from office, and that includs Pence, Ryan and McConnell, plus of course Flynn, Manafort, Jared, and all the drumpf kids except Tiffany and Barron. Melania would divorce him right away and life would make sense again.

[Volaris]

34. One correction:

Melania would divorce him AND TAKE ALL HIS MONEY.
If he dies broke, I'll be happy, imprisoned or not. At his core he's a rascist white trash piece of shit, and he knows it. He uses his wealth (badly, according to those with REAL Wealth) to cover up what an unelegant, worthless human being he really is. The deplorables all voted for him not because of who he is, but because he is the aspiration of what they all want to be. That they cannot be, and will never be, MUST be someone ELSE'S fault.

[Fatemah2774]

18. Disgusting.

Utterly disgusting. The tweet, the misogynistic attitude and the man.

I am so ashamed of this person in the Oval office.

[Glimmer of Hope]

20. He hurts women.

[NastyRiffraff]

21. As if I needed another reason to hate this asshole

He always manages to give us yet another one.

[maxrandb]

23. How the FUCK has Twitter NOT Banned this fucking prick yet?

Seriously, what the fuck will it take TWITTER??!!

Retweet some fucking KKK Clan Rally Shit?

Punch a woman in the face?

I know, it's hard to fucking believe that he is the president of the united states, but come-the-fuck-ON!!!

If this doesn't get the fucker banned, then fuck you!

[nolabear]

26. If I had it my way every reporter would simply ask about this every time there's a presser.

Over and over again.

"Is the president advocating violence against Mrs. Clinton?"
"Does the president condone knocking women down as his tweet shows?"
"Does the president think it's funny to attack one's former political opponents?"
"What other forms of violence against women does the president approve of?"

[phylny]

39. Brilliant! n/t

[flibbitygiblets]

45. 1000% this!

[Bengus81]

27. So...re-tweet his fat ass underware shot when playing tennis....

Get thousands tweeting this again! What fucking SIZE is that underware Trump!?!??! SOAB!!

[riversedge]

53. gladly!

[flibbitygiblets]

63. not since T- Rex have we seen that ass-to- hand ratio

May they both be extinct asap

[gademocrat7]

28. Disgraceful behavior.

Denigrates the office of the Presidency.

[LudwigPastorius]

29. Trump has the emotional constitution of a troubled 11-year-old.

Hopefully, John Kelly has replaced the launch codes in the nuclear football with hamster shavings.

[Old Vet]

30. Thats why we look like assholes to everybody else in the world, Damn

[procon]

32. Trump never grew up, he's Peter Pan's insane brother, the half witted monster

they kept locked in the attic because he has an uncontrollable mean streak and likes to hurt... things. He suffers from Tourette with a steampunk engineered mouth that leads him (and us) into dangerous ground. He fancies himself in the same league at the historical greats of the ages, but in all things he's still a pig at his core.

[Nitram]

33. F-ing Neanderthal.

Although I'm sure Neanderthals actually had a great deal more class than that.

[SunSeeker]

35. It's Sunday. The people who are supposed to be protecting us from him must have the day off.

Hellooo, John Kelly, you need a backup for the weekends. Ivanka sure as shit isn't doing it.

[California_Republic]

40. Not very presidential but ...

If your objection is solely based on her being a woman then I think you do women a disservice.

Insert a male ( mueller , Obama ) would your objections to be so strong?

These 'women need protecting' views , I believe, hold women back in the political arena.

[ismnotwasm]

44. The issue at hand is violence against women

Not that women can't protect themselves or fight back.

[California_Republic]

59. Your objection should be to violence in general

Juction should be to violence in general

[oberliner]

41. Another entry for the "Imagine if Hillary/Obama had done that" file

Imagine Fox News and the RW radio hosts.

[yallerdawg]

42. I could never imagine a president acting like this.

Until Trump got in the White House.

He never fails to burrow even deeper below my expectations.

46. Bill Moyers: The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump

https://www.democraticunderground.com/1016193206


SEPTEMBER 14, 2017

Excerpt:

There will not be a book published this fall more urgent, important, or controversial than The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump, the work of 27 psychiatrists, psychologists and mental health experts to assess President Trump’s mental health. They had come together last March at a conference at Yale University to wrestle with two questions. One was on countless minds across the country: “What’s wrong with him?” The second was directed to their own code of ethics: “Does Professional Responsibility Include a Duty to Warn” if they conclude the president to be dangerously unfit?

As mental health professionals, these men and women respect the long-standing “Goldwater rule” which inhibits them from diagnosing public figures whom they have not personally examined. At the same time, as explained by Dr. Bandy X Lee, who teaches law and psychiatry at Yale School of Medicine, the rule does not have a countervailing rule that directs what to do when the risk of harm from remaining silent outweighs the damage that could result from speaking about a public figure — “which in this case, could even be the greatest possible harm.” It is an old and difficult moral issue that requires a great exertion of conscience. Their decision: “We respect the rule, we deem it subordinate to the single most important principle that guides our professional conduct: that we hold our responsibility to human life and well-being as paramount.”

Hence, this profound, illuminating and discomforting book undertaken as “a duty to warn.”

The foreword is by one of America’s leading psychohistorians, Robert Jay Lifton. He is renowned for his studies of people under stress — for books such as Death in Life: Survivors of Hiroshima (1967), Home from the War: Vietnam Veterans — Neither Victims nor Executioners (1973), and The Nazi Doctors: Medical Killing and the Psychology of Genocide (1986). The Nazi Doctors was the first in-depth study of how medical professionals rationalized their participation in the Holocaust, from the early stages of the Hitler’s euthanasia project to extermination camps.

The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump will be published Oct. 3 by St. Martin’s Press.

Here is my interview with Robert Jay Lifton — Bill Moyers

[Initech]

47. I reported that tweet as threatening violence.

I can't believe Twitter would allow this, and Trump supporters just seem to stoop to new lows on a daily basis.

[CrispyQ]

48. And GOP leadership is silent.

Can Decent People Be Republican Anymore?
http://www.wbur.org/cognoscenti/2017/09/11/trump-republicans-rich-barlow

I vote no.

[Scurrilous]

49. K&R

[Lifelong Protester]

50. Classless.

I guess he thinks 'anything goes'.

[Cuthbert Allgood]

51. The account that was retweeted is a horrible anti-Semitic

One of his deleted posted--that plenty of people have screenshots of--is saying we need to get rid of Hasidic Jews because they are the worst.

[CCExile]

55. I guess hitting her in the back makes it even funnier.

The culmination of forty years of careful planning and plotting. They must be SO proud.

[haveahart]

57. On this alone the Congress should not give him one thing he wants...but they will cave.

Giving him any win just emboldens his racist, sexist, disgusting, embarrassing and juvenile behavior.

[IcyPeas]

58. I hope someone asks sara huckabee sanders about this.... what will she say? /nt

[beachjustice]

60. tasteless but another attempt at manufacturing controversy; he needs another distraction

can't risk Americans focusing on his appointments and policy decisions being variously grossly incompetent, corrupt, and malicious

[Calista241]

61. It's a dump RT. My personal opinion is that yes, Trump shouldn't have RT'd this

But there is a lot worse stuff out there being retweeted, probably by many of the same people bitching about Trump's tweets.

It's still a dump tweet, and not particularly funny, even if Hillary wasn't involved.

[Initech]

62. Anyone else realize that this guy's user name translates to "fucked up mind"?

I wonder what Trump was putting in the search engine to come up with that?

[chwaliszewski]

65. Here's the sad reality, people...

There are women in this country, who voted for and/or like Donald and/or don't like Hillary that will think that tweet is the funniest thing ever.

[seaglass]

66. Yep, the scum over at JPR. n/t

[chwaliszewski]

68. ?

What does that have to do with my statement?

[seaglass]

69. An example of people who think it's funny. Former DUers. n/t
