Narcissism drives him. It’s hard for many people to sympathize with someone who sees opportunities for self-promotion in assassination attempts against him.
I’ll keep typing this on different platforms until my fingers fall off: we all need to stop calling in a ballroom and call it what it really is, a bunker with a gilded entrance on top. “Ballroom” is just a way to gaslight people into conjuring a benign, happy gathering place when it is not.
I agree that we shouldn't call it a "ballroom." Let the regime call it that. I will add, that for the elites, the Epstein class, and mostly White patriarchy , it is a "benign, happy gathering place" . We should call it a glorified bunker or something else along those lines.
Trump is all about Trump. He has not one ounce of compassion or responsibility in his body. He sees the Treasury as his piggybank and plasters his face on monuments to honor his deranged ego. How can we survive 3 more years of his insanity and incompetence?
I hear you and wonder the same… I did enjoy the Kings remarks about British real estate, he did state the Brits tried their hand at it in America in 1814… That my friend is a zinger that hit the target…
Oh 100%. In fact, they're so inane (and insane!) on that side of the fence that they thought Charles was somehow (they couldn't tell you how, but they're certain of it) complimenting Chump and maga 😄
RepubliCON listening, critical thinking and processing skills are so POOR that they were applauding for the King’s accent, not the content of his words.😫
Hi DB, love your thoughts every time. My mood at this time soured additionally to see gas prices rise again. That’s REALITY and TRUTH shoved right in everyone’s faces and stealing money from everyone’s wallets. (Should aide in bigger blue tsunami). All due to extreme narcissism of one incurious lumbering befuddled sick sick old old mind. Incurious due to belief he innately knows more than the rest of the world. All the knowledge of the universe is just there, needs no study, no research, no nothing other than spout it out enlightening all of we innately stupid people not genetically blessed with a mind as sharp as his. “I know more than all my Generals”. Today just weary of all news all T. all the time !!When do we get to escape this madness ? Puke emoji where are you? Today as gas goes up again, additionally pissed @ 77,000,000 easily conned, grifted and gaslit + even worse !! Almost 90,000,000 apathetic “both sides the same” + snit fit purity test voters all staying home with thumbs up butts, pull it out and sniff test it, is so damn shameful of a statement of our culture or society, whichever word fits best. I like to spell out all the ZEROS, double entendré intended as is fully much more impactful over 77M and 90M. Never mind me ! Gas new high, mood soured extra. Honked off is the word. Thinking again on the affordable way to get an EV run about in a 45 miie radius errand 2nd vehicle is to buy a used say Nissan Leaf with the bigger battery pack. The state parks here had them and sold them state auction. Can get some good bargains that way. $9,000 and drive till battery is dead. There. Some better just get it off the chest. One thing noted in rural town that warms the heart is a house with a sign in window “F*CK TRUMP” spelled just that way aimed at much traffic when right across the street from them are some clearly “thinking challenged” folk with leftover 2024 T/Vance signs x3 on their yard fence facing the traffic, shoved in everyone’s faces every day. But reality there is they are proudly advertising their effing ignorance. And the T totally loves exploiting that group. When does this madness end tho ??? Dark cloud of sickness cast over entire nation. I’ve gone on and on much too long. Just in a “mood” seeing we all have to pay the “moron tax” at the pump. Gaaaaa !! F. !!!
Excellent post, Michelangelo. Why should we care if he doesn't? Narcissists, especially malignant narcissists like him, are incapable of self-reflection and empathy. Everything is transactional. Since most of us are not this way, it is hard to imagine that a significant minority of people are this way. We have to modify our thinking and remind ourselves of what we are up against, because that is the only way to overcome it. It is working, slowly but surely. The dam is breaking, but he and his kind will not give up without a fight, and he has the military and DHS behind him. I have to believe that we the people can do what Hungary did.
Trying to have faith that what happened in Hungary happens here, Sakina. We have to get those apathetic Americans to turn out the vote in HUGE numbers.
Indeed. Larry, a task made even more difficult after the SCOTUS decision yesterday. Roberts is a pig with lipstick, trying to act like he is above the fray when he is no better than Alito and Thomas. Elections matter and SCOTUS reform has to be a top priority for a Democratic majority in the coming years, IF we can get the majority in Congress and the presidency, AND have the strength of our convictions to fix all of this. If not...I can't even write the words! Zerlina mentioned this morning that no Black person in America has experienced an entire generation under full equality. The same goes for many women under Roe. Marriage equality is next if we don't stop it.
Roberts will go down in US history as the MOST regressive CJ for civil rights, Sakina. He’s more like the devil with lipstick, with his hateful, white supremacist attitude. SCOTUS MUST be fixed if we ever get the power back.
Remember the tale of Narcissus, this may not end well either. All the braggadocio and self- aggrandizement will catch up. The wheels of the gods grind very slowly, but extremely efficiently.
trumpty-dumpty wants a bunker, not a ballroom, though this will have the appearance of a ballroom, if only for the purpose of entertaining his privileged guests.
Michelangelo, I am not so sure that this was a legitimate 'assassination attempt', as the security officer could have taken this fellow down and likely out, with four shots, if I am not mistaken. If this was the Secret Service, are they actually such poor marksmen?
With these 'assassination attempts', trump may be trying to give himself the delusion that he is God's 'chosen one', and therefore, he has been chosen to live forever, and this is the real reason he wants the ballroom, by making the White House his own personal property. And along with the delusion that he will live forever, he believes that he will be President of the United States as long as he lives.
IMO the ballroom represents the fake, gaslighting, con job that’s been the central story of his life. A delusion for the magacon cult who support him; a grand party place, to completely disguise his own personal safe place, should disaster strike. He wants a bunker built for him, and whoever he chooses, to survive in, when he’s ultimately faced with the accountability of jail time. As Mary Trump has alluded many times, he’ll take the world down with him if he has to.
Come on Mike! 3 assassination attempts? Not really. He didn’t react like normal people cuz he’s not normal and his life has never been threaten unless we count those seashells coming for him? Look out Donnie! seashells seashell seashell 86 ya

Well! Said! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I agree. It's a Bordello.

And almost certainly sailed right over Dump's head.
Oh 100%. In fact, they're so inane (and insane!) on that side of the fence that they thought Charles was somehow (they couldn't tell you how, but they're certain of it) complimenting Chump and maga 😄
All the republicons applauding US support for NATO and Ukraine, and the idea of checks and balances in US government was a hoot.😂

Every day is a new headache thanks to the Greedy Old Pedophiles.
It looks like the end of American empire will be exceptional just like we view ourselves as exceptional. Exceptionally ignorant, selfish and greedy.

If Dump gets turned into a daffodil, I'm leaving.

Truly some scary thoughts, indeed.
