KickerOfMice posted:It's gross how when any other human would answer "I don't know," or even a standard government "we'll look into it." Trump always flips the question like a mirror, verbally laying the responsibility of the answer on the questioner. It's still a non answer but, I wonder if that's intentional. it's another one of his bottom tier management skills, where deflecting when you don't have an opinion helps you to buy time or at least mask your indecision, but when applied to the POTUS makes you look like an unprepared clown

Remember when they were floating Garland as a potential special council to investigate the Russian thing? It's just dumb bullshit, a blatant attempt at a power grab while appearing "bipartisan," it won't go anywhere

It's not just that it's a super dumb answer, there's the subtext that he just hates the people of america and enjoys the power of leaving people frightened.

I can see none of the chickenshit correspondents calling Trump on his "well, what do you think ?" shtick, until eventually the positive reinforcement he gets from it means that it will be his go-to response to 100% of questions from the pool

He is waiting to see how people respond to his war comments before deciding whether to go to war. Do you want war? 1. Yes [ ] 2. No [ ] Thank you for participating in this survey.

I don't have the inherent disgust/hatred for Trump that some people have had since the very start of his candidacy (I just thought he was gross/dumb) but the more I've been exposed to him the more I've come to believe he is a truly despicable person. Like he's not just rich and spoiled and ignorant. I keep seeing more and more evidence that Trump is actively malevolent.

Not to get all 4d chess but Trump does disguise a lot of that malevolence as blunders.quote:I gave Trump the benefit of the doubt after his comment on Megyn Kelly about “blood coming out of her wherever” when he claimed he meant her nose. But later, a longtime Trump associate told me that Trump had practiced that line before he said it on CNN and that it was meant to evoke an image of Kelly as hormonal.

Real talk Kale, I started doing this recently. I took a step back from everything and took a good hard examination of myself, my life and my problems. I basically retrained a poo poo ton of my thought patterns, am better at gaining new perspectives etc. It's hard work but worth it. Working on yourself is uncomfortable and scary but your life will genuinely be better for it. Mine is. You are what's wrong with you.

NewMars posted:To be honest, I don't even think a complete lack of military preparedness says anything about whether or not Trump is thinking of going to war because I don't think he knows you have to prepare. That and he absolutely views every American as an acceptable loss, so of course he's not going to move them to safety.
