Poll of the Day > Trump is an idiot

(+) Yeah! (+)

He's probably the most spectacularly unqualified person who ever occupied the WH bar none.

"I had a meeting at the Pentagon with lots of generals -- they were like from a movie, better looking than Tom Cruise and stronger -- and I had more generals than I've ever seen." Donald Trump

This is so revealing. All of life is a casting call for Trump. These generals were good because they were good looking and strong. Even more than Tom Cruise!

"I was obviously a good candidate. I won every debate. I won everything I did, and I won, and I won easily."

When Trump said this, the 2016 election had ended 797 days prior..

Almost everything Trump does comes down to mental illness, specifically Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD). It is characterized by a long-term pattern of exaggerated feelings of self-importance, an excessive craving for admiration, and struggles with empathy. People with NPD often spend much time daydreaming about achieving power and success, or on their appearance.

The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) indicates that a person with NPD possesses at least five of the following nine criteria, typically without possessing the commensurate personal qualities or accomplishments for which they demand respect and status:

• Has a grandiose sense of self-importance (e.g. exaggerates achievements and talents, expects to be recognized as superior without commensurate achievements).
• Is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love.
• Believes that he/she/they is "special" and unique and can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people (or institutions).
• Requires excessive admiration.
• Has a sense of entitlement (i.e., unreasonable expectations of especially favorable treatment or automatic compliance with his or her expectations).
• Is interpersonally exploitative (i.e., takes advantage of others to achieve his or her own ends).
• Lacks empathy: is unwilling to recognize or identify with the feelings and needs of others.
• Is often envious of others or believes that others are envious of him/her/them.
• Shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes

To the extent that people are pathologically narcissistic, the person with NPD can be a self-absorbed control freak who passes blame and is intolerant of contradictory views and opinions; is apathetic towards the emotional, mental, and psychological needs of other people; and is indifferent to the negative effects of his/her/their behaviors, whilst insisting that people should see him/her/them as an ideal person. To protect their fragile self-concept, narcissists use psycho-social strategies, such as the tendency to devalue and derogate and to insult and blame other people, usually with anger and hostility towards people's responses to the narcissist's anti-social conduct. Because their fragile egos are hypersensitive to perceived criticism or defeat, people with NPD are prone to feelings of shame, humiliation, and worthlessness over minor incidents of daily life and imagined, personal slights, and usually mask such feelings from people, either by way of feigned humility, or by responding with outbursts of rage and defiance, or by seeking revenge.

I just don't know if we can trust Sleepy Joe tho.

Are you sure he's not actually the best president ever??

NPD has a high rate of comorbidity with substance abuse, particularly cocaine.

Well, yes, I agree. Hes still better than anything the Democrats have shown up with. (Our state is burning to the ground and the big power company doesnt care if it kills people with negligence. Ive seen what Democrats can do.)

It's burning because your state relies on forced labor from the prison population to fight wildfires:

If you ignore how heinously fucked up that reality is, California can't dip into the inmate pool because the prisons are rife with Covid. If we had real leadership in the WH, a national strategy and clear direction to tackle the pandemic, we might not be in the situation we're in and Cali would be free to exploit their prisoners as is their wont

But sure, only democrats are to blame and Trump is doing a spectacular job

I didnt say he was doing a spectacular job, but there a lot of things wrong with this state that are the fault of the Democrats alone. High housing prices, gas prices, highest homeless rate in the country, worst roads in the country (at least theyre working on that a little), too many people showing up illegally and getting everything handed to them while taxpayers get scraps.

You're right. I do recall all of those issues magically disappearing under Schwarzenegger's tenure.

Trump has an IQ in the 80s.

He's the most corrupt, criminal, and incompetent president ever. It really makes you wonder what went wrong with this timeline.

But don't worry, all of that is better than having a mean ol' Dem in charge.

He's bad but he's not as bad as Wilson, FDR, Andrew Johnson or Andrew Jackson, and maybe a few other guys are worse too

He's borderline bottom 5, don't let recency bias cloud your judgement

Is this guy trying to say FDR is bad when he is arguably the best president in US history?

You know FDR locked up Japanese Americans and let them starve to death? Or that he was a huge racist on a magnitude greater than just about anyone? I mean if you thunk trump's racism is bad you should look into FDR some more

Also we should add Reagan to this list because he started a lot of our current problems

Everybody was a "racist" in the wars.

He was known to be racist even within the context of that time, he turned away Jews from Europe seeking refuge from hitler, he was known to use the n word even as president, what's so good about him that he gets a pass for being one of the most racist presidents of all time?

He is an evil cheater.

Oh, maybe the fact that it was his ideas which got the country out of the Great Depression? Or his willingness to skirt Congress and help Britain while the U.S. was still officially neutral?

Ah, yes. The Republicans are the definitely the ones to hold multi-billion companies accountable for their fuck ups.

They also have the power to prevent lightning storms from happening.

It still amazes me that Trump supporters' only real reason for supporting him is "well he's not a lousy Democrat". He probably has a number of ardent loyalists who have been thoroughly brainwashed over the years but I'm betting the majority of his voters just have some weird internalized hate for Democrats.

Adderall is basically diet meth

It's literally just "fuck liberals". That's the entirety of their ideology. They don't care if it's wrong in every single way. Being correct doesn't matter to them.

Well at least those loyalists are diminishing their numbers, by solidly taking medical and other advice from Mr. Trump. Good for them.
