tRump, is such a joke. The whole world is laughing at him and he still doesn't get it. n/t

1. I suspect he does. He is plotting his revenge

"Kelly, Haley, get me the names of all those people and where they're from"

[Solly Mack]

3. I agree. He'll go his usual petty all the while spinning a new reality about what happened.

[RKP5637]

11. Yep, we'll be listening to him spinning this one for months and months. n/t

[Solly Mack]

12. Yeah. :(

How depressing is that?

[RKP5637]

14. Very! He grates on my nerves, his appearance, voice and what he says ... the total package.

When the dems take back congress in November, it will be a lot less depressing!

[RKP5637]

13. He's probably working up a list of countries he will vow to destroy. n/t

2. after they laughed, he later said he meant it as a joke.

what an obviously, pathetically immature response.

the dominant narrative is about his lies, so this sort of thing registers as a lie, or get dismissed as just another lie.

but it's not just any lie. it's the kind of obvious lie that a 6-year old says because they can't handle even minor embarrassment.

so he lies about the intent of everyone who laughed, pretending that they were laughing at a joke he made, rather than laughing at him or at something he said in all seriousness.

he can't cope with the fact-based reality that he got laughed at for making a wild boast completely unsupported by evidence, so he reshapes his reality to be built around his lies.


pathetic!

he is so emotionally defective, so horrible unsuited for the role of president!

[PJMcK]

4. Trump knows it wasn't a joke

At the U.N., after the laughter subsided he said, "Well, that wasn't the response I expected but that's okay."

He knows he was being laughed at. Perhaps that should be the way people react to Trump. No matter what he says, we should laugh in his face.

It's not disrespectful because Trump crossed that line long ago when he chose to lie to the American people.

6. protesters outside White House should hold up signs that say "The whole world is laughing at YOU"

or "People voted for you as a JOKE & you're only one stupid enough not to know it."

[unblock]

8. yes, it caught him off-guard because he's used to sycophants

no one in the white house would dare laugh at something like that.

he only speaks to rallies where they bus supporters in and replace them if they're even not smiling enough.

and the media knows that anything reaction like that risks getting kicked out of the white house briefing room.

so an honest reaction is just something he's not used to.


he had to resolve his cognitive dissonance by rejecting truth and honesty and concocting a lie that suits him better, even if he knows damn well it's a lie.

[Capperdan]

9. Agreed

He knows in his bones they were laughing at him. It will haunt him bigly. Yay. It's the best way to piss him off. What an amazing piece of history we are going through.

5. joke, no joke

He is a narcissist and does not believe that people would ever laugh at his bragging. He truly believes that he is right and deserves to be applauded for his "accomplishments". He is also a con artist. That's why he is always projecting this onto the democratic party.

[yurbud]

7. He is a con artist the way Bush is a painter...

He doesn't fool the discerning consumer.

[Eliot Rosewater]

15. He was genuinely surprised when they laughed AT him.

He has a very low IQ, can barely read and comprehend what he reads.

He has failed at every business venture he has been in other than the TV show, which was a success because he is such a narcissist liar.

The only reason he is not homeless is the now reported FOUR BILLION he owes Putin and friends.

Welcome!

[gopiscrap]

16. welcome to DU

[Orsino]

10. Oh, he gets it. He's not an idiot; just stupid.

As always, though, he tries to cover it with a show of confidence and a word-splat to prove he's still in command.

He's always known that the myth of Trump is fragile, but that just by pretending as hard as he can, he'll have the TV cameras on his side.
