lizardman posted:Charisma 's the wrong word, but he could make his cantankerousness look like a 'shtick' at times which takes at least some level of showmanship. He's was more entertaining to watch than HW Bush at least. Feel like the disclaimer in most RPGs these days that "Charisma doesn't equal physical beauty" can apply in these situation.

He has a strong force of personality that allows him to get what he wants, despite being a repulsive blob of burned sour cream and his slimy reputation and complete lack of intellect.

Nixon wasn’t so charismatic as he was one of the worlds best liars. He had a severe problem telling the truth about even the smallest matters and it made him really good at it

He can lie out of both sides of his mouth at the same time, and if he ever caught himself telling the truth, he'd lie just to keep his hand in.

I am immensely curious which one of them is getting the short end of the stick here but I really hope it's Avenatti.

Squinty posted:I feel like he has at least one dazed and confused moment in public every time he does a foreign trip, and I kind of suspect that's why he skipped the rainy WW1 memorial thing. He does indeed have dazed and confused moments, probably caused by some mix of sundowning and simply being mentally incapable of sustained hard work. After all, he has never in his life had to do real labor to earn a living. However, I strongly believe he skipped the WWI memorial because the baldness "cure" surgery he got years ago has left his scalp badly scarred. Rain causes his hair to flatten, revealing his Darth-Vader-without-a-helmet lookin' dome. He is deeply humiliated by the way his head looks, so much so that he raped his wife over it. He is terrified of it being revealed in public, and so he is terrified of rain by extension. Chimp_On_Stilts fucked around with this message at 04:18 on Dec 3, 2018 |

jojoinnit posted:I thought the world saw it when he was boarding the plane and his hair flap blew up? Yeah, we've gotten glimpses here and there. Not a sustained good look though. The man has nothing to offer but bluster and expensive looking appearances. He is deeply afraid of letting either falter, because they're literally his life's work.

PerniciousKnid posted:How is that a solution? It isn't. He was enraged and took out his wrath on her because he's an abusive husband. Abusers don't abuse because it solves problems, they do it because abusing someone is an expression of power and dominance. In Trump's case, he has been able to use the massive fortune he was given as a child to paper over his lifetime of abuses. Were he some lower middle class schmuck, he'd have landed in prison decades ago.

Mr Ice Cream Glove posted:Daddy issues Do conservatives get fired up about Don Jr? I know they don't dislike him, and will probably cheer along with him when he's there, but do they actually get stoked about him and talk about him unbidden? We all think he's pathetic and laughable, but we thought that about Don Sr too.

The thing is even with Medicare for All, America would still be able to have private insurance as well. The majority of healthcare systems are a mix of public and private. The NHS in the UK is pretty unique. Australia has Medicare which all Australians, Permanent Residents and some temp visa holders are eligible to enroll into for free. There are small fees at point of service unless you are exempt. You are encouraged to take out private insurance as well, but here's the thing: private insurance has to be competitively priced otherwise nobody will bother with it and will just use medicare. I believe in most European countries private health insurance costs are capped too. So your greedy, rapacious health insurance industry will still be able to operate, they'll just need to be less greedy and actually provide the service they're supposed to.

Rich donor class assholes and the politician enablers make it seem like what we're doing is lowering the ceiling for everyone and that's just not the case at all.
