All of trumps undiagnosed mental, emotional and personality disorders are on full display and in complete control of his behavior. It both sad and disturbing.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He ain't getting better anytime soon, I believe he will try to bring the whole country down along before going to jail

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

He's like a toddler in a tantrum, smashing all the other kids' toys because he doesn't want to go home.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He can tour all four corners of his cell.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago

Can he tour a fucking jail cell already‽

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago (2 children)

They should give the deranged lunatic a competency test to make sure he’s mentally fit.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If he fails, Trump will claim that it was rigged.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

not sure he wants to pass. I mean... if the alternative is a 8x8 cell in some supermax with even shittier hamberders than he normally eats...

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What is "want's" a contraction of?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Mobile typo somehow

It’s fixed.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Man, woman, person, camera, tv.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I love that he's sooo proud of acing that.

Like. They don't give it to people of sound mind. he just admitted to being at least borderline mentally impaired. (i.e. on set of dementia, etc.)

Petulant child throws a tantrum.

Unaware of the indictments?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

How would he get revenge for that? They're his own damn fault.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Same way Hitler did, maybe?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Revenge against justice (or those carrying it out). Doesn't he already have a gag order in effect in Ga's case bc he couldn't stop intimidating witnesses online?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Good, good. It’s eating him up. I just hope he survives 5 or 10 years of solitary.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I hope he doesn't pull a Kissinger and live for ever.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

I hope he does, but only if he's incarcerated.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nothing demonstrates the confidence of a mediocre white man like little donnie does.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

That’s in insult to mediocracy.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Revenge? On what for what?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

For getting found out after fucking around.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

...and he has not really, actually gotten to the "found out" stage. I wonder how much squealing there will be if/when he ever really gets to that point?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

At this point every appearance and post online is revenge for any imagined slight against his greatest of persons. His entire campaign is based on revenge and allowed by the spineless simpering toads of the RNC who refuse to alienate themselves from him and his mentally deranged followers.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Oh Daddy Donald...let's say Pappa J'Biden WAS out to ruin your campaign, he hasn't admitted to it or stated it publicly so he has deniability. On the other hand Don is out here boating about what he's gonna do to retaliate. 🤦‍♂️ dude never learns.

It's been a tactic of the "alt right" to call anyone who is not a fascist a "communist" for a while:
