His narcissistic addiction tendencies have led him to run for the office of the president but his con man skills are still not up to the task so he is imploding.

I've heard rumors about Trump abusing diet pills that are similar to amphetamines. Sure would be funny if he gave himself an overdose in the near future.

And his political opponent is one of the most unflappable, stone-faced people in the country.

I'm still mildly terrified of what Trump represents, but it's goddamn satisfying to see him implode like this.

If you don't have pride in your country then I dunno move or something I guess? Maybe don't talk about the politics for said country in said country's politics thread? I dunno, every time I hear someone talking about how people taking pride in their country or like wearing the country's flag on a shirt is stupid or pointless just seems like you're being pessimistic for no reason. Like have you ever been to a group outing of like 100+ people? Sometimes being loud as gently caress about who you are can be fun

Never wear a US Flag. First it's against flag code, and if you actually cared about :911:, you'd follow flag code. Second, you'll be confused with the vast majority of people wearing the flag as clothing, who are hateful assholes just waiting for all the minorities to be out of earshot so they can drop some truth bombs on your. Third, and, really, most importantly, it's tacky as poo poo. If you've gotta put that flag on yourself go with a nice, understated flag pin.

Yeah lets not call Donald Trump a successful businessman in the terms of his business.

He has less money than where he started. That's not exactly successful. Now how good of a con man he is? Well...

Yes, the key to Trump's appearances is that he started off on 3rd and has kept up the lifestyle of hitting a double. When you start out with millions, it's not at all impressive that you've got millions and the fact that he acts like he's successfully done anything is hilarious. The fucker managed to go bankrupt running a loving casino.

Talked about this a few days back, but now I have a bit more of an update on my crazy step-Dad.

He is a lifelong NRA member, to the point that he concealed carries when he walks out to check the mail, has voted R his entire life, an ex Marine, and he's from Texas. He is a pretty big news junkie, and to his credit he doesn't only consume right wing stuff, he likes all kinds of news sources. He was livid over the Khan drama(my step brother/his son got hurt really bad in Iraq, so he definitely can sympathize) , to the point that he was already considering staying home on election day. I was already pretty happy about just that.


The Trump nuke chat this morning broke his brain, and he has been texting me all day asking about Hillary scandals, and if they are bullshit or not, or how bad it "really was". He even defended/laughed off the Iran thing today, comparing it to Reagan :psyduck:

I am seriously thinking Trump might push him to vote for Hillary. I am going to be pushing him slowly and nicely form here on out. If you would of told me this was possible even a month ago, I'd laugh in your face.

This election is magic.

Ah, so he must be getting the love and adoration of somewhere around 12% of Gold Star families. Just like all the other demographics that love him.

Trump's been a joke for over twice as long as some first-time voters this year have been alive. He was already well-known and little-liked -- the tiny amount his image has changed for this election is surprising already.

This is from a few pages back, but I want to reinforce just how true that is. I had a book as a kid - How To Be A Superhero - which was published in something like '91 or so, and in it they took the piss out of Trump by saying if you went to him to fund your superhero career you'd have to be called Trumpman and drive the Trumpmobile and stuff.
