trump's presidency is just one endless orgasm for him. Every day - it is all about him.

[NRaleighLiberal]

He could not care less about the inconsistencies, switch backs, market ups and downs (for all we know, he is shorting the market and reaping huge benefits when it crashes). He is an infant who cried for his binkie. His daily bottle is the world and he is sucking it, and all of us in it, dry.

We - the whole world - is watching while he goes on his endless, destructive tantrum.

There really is no true analogy for this throughout history, because it isn't about a war, taking land, or any typical crazy empire thing.

It is simply about him.

It is inconceivable that one deranged person, in this day and age, could do something like this for so long.

1. We were adequately warned

Remember when a large group of psychologists put out a statement that he is a textbook case of “malignant narcissism “.

It didn’t matter.
The greedy elite republicans who only care about lower taxes and the uneducated poor republicans that only care about abortion and unlimited access to guns didn’t care.
And, worse than that, the vast majority of them would vote for Trump again.

2. and 60 million of our fellow "citizens" voted for this jackass

reminds me of George Carlin quote about the stupidity of Americans. “Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.”

3. Every time I have written that same thought on DU someone always

replies, "Speak for yourself". I knew the moron would win the second I saw him on that escalator and said so the entire campaign due to this assessment of the overall stupidity of the average American. Look who is the W House to prove my point.

7. Can't say I saw it coming that far out

I actually thought he'd be easier to beat in the general than Cruz. After the initial shock from the Access Hollywood tapes faded I became worried that he might win. Everything I was seeing and hearing did not jibe with the Clinton landslide many here predicted.
Every time I posted my concerns in Oct. and Nov. leading up to Election Day, I was told condescendingly that my concern was noted or Hilary's got this.

9. I was shocked he gained traction after his idiotic elevator speech

but also felt more fear of a Cruz or Rubio presidency, until it became clear he was going to get nominated. That’s when I started getting uneasy.

10. Yeah, my friends and family humored me about 50% of the time but when I told them

why he was going to win they agreed. Americans have the memory of a gnat, never learn from their mistakes, don't know much about political issues and basically are pretty stupid when compared to other countries that aren't "the greatest country on Earth". They realized that a Hillary victory wasn't in the bag.

4. Did you ever see Carlins stand up when he talked

about how .....”It’s time to trim the herd”....
It’s about how there are just too many stupid people.
I think I’m going to try to google it.
It was hilarious and, sadly, true then and even truer today.

5. Good Point..but, just maybe, ..the herd has learned something this time..

Sometimes, just sometimes, the herd walks in a certain direction, and something very dangerous is in that direction, then, the herd turns and walks in another direction. It happens once in a while. It happened in 1932 and in 2008. And it can happen again. Let's see what happens in November. Maybe the herd will turn around this time too.

6. Suburban white women will decide

If they come out for the Dems in big numbers, it will be a major blue wave 🌊.

8. Nah he's an impotent fool

It's his alternative to an orgasm - narcissistic rage.
