In many ways Trump reminds me of Charles Manson.

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.

7. Charles Manson lived most if his life in prison and then died.

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.

10. "What the hell does that mean, 'care'?"

To the end of his life, Mr. Manson denied having ordered the Tate-LaBianca murders. Nor, as he replied to a question he was often asked, did he feel remorse, in any case.

He said as much in 1986 in a prison interview with the television journalist Charlie Rose.

“So you didn’t care?” Mr. Rose asked, invoking Ms. Tate and her unborn child.

“Care?” Mr. Manson replied.

He added, “What the hell does that mean, ‘care’?”

12. It's ironic, Manson would see right through Trump.

Manson would call us fools for electing Trump. He would call Trump a pussy, a coward, a fake. Manson was crazy but he had street sense.

14. Trumpmania is exactly like a cult.

And some of the followers will do anything, not even short
of murder, for the Trumpmaniac cause.

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.
