They are both narcissists. They are both nuts. They love all the attention they get from the press. They love using the press. They love to lie and twist the truth. They love fucking with peoples heads.
They both used people to do their dirty work. They both don't care about people being murdered. Neither of them have a conscience. They are both empty inside, no soul.
Both of them have a serious inferiority complex. They both want to be famous, the greatest. They both want to be in complete control.
Both of them are very vengeful to anyone who gets in their way, to anyone who exposes their inferiority complex, to any one who insults them.
Imagine Manson with money and power, that's Trump.

(18,868 posts)After all those years he still had followers. Crazies. People as sick as he was.
Trump should have lived most of his life in prison. I doubt that he would have had many followers. He wasn't powerful. He was just icky.

(81,455 posts)He said as much in 1986 in a prison interview with the television journalist Charlie Rose.
So you didnt care? Mr. Rose asked, invoking Ms. Tate and her unborn child.
Care? Mr. Manson replied.
He added, What the hell does that mean, care?

of murder, for the Trumpmaniac cause.
Theyre both hated by everyone except those in their cult

(4,642 posts)but had very different upbringings. Mason spent most of his youth and life incarcerated. Poor, abused as a kid. I believe his monster was created. tRump on the other hand is nothing but a spoil rich kid who never worked or was never punished for his many crimes. He was born a monster.
