Said Pelosi: Hes just being a freak, I mean, hes just terrible. Theres more of a responsibility for a president to communicate his point of view, which we should respect, hes the president of the United States, whether you agree with him or not, he has a point of view. But to use the office of the president as an attack vehicle for his market, it seems to have worked.
She also criticized the sometimes-obsessive coverage of Trumps Twitter outbursts: All they want to talk about is, how on Earth did he do 50 tweets in 48 hours? I think the press is an enabler of him He makes assaults on them and they strengthen him by just talking about that and thats what an authoritarian wants you to be talking about him.

Here's an accurate, albeit truncated list:
1. Troll
2. Asshole
3. Sociopath
4. Pathological Liar
5. Malignant Narcissist
6. Worst Human Being on the Planet

(12,448 posts)"worst person in the world"? If that were now, Trump would win it every night. There would be some close seconds, like Barr, Stephen Miller, etc. but Trump would win.

(56,357 posts)minute and because the press covers him in sound bites (and tweets are also sound bites), he gets given the ability to deny anything he wants. Like "I don't know wikileaks" - his followers can use that to deny what we all know is the many times he praised wikikeaks.

(13,390 posts)I attribute much of it to laziness. He's like that guy who doesn't bother to remembers names of people he considers to be beneath him. The unwillingness to accept anything that does not support his world view and especially his belief in his own expertise is a narcissistic quality. It's what we should expect from a self promoter whose talent and success are fabricated. He has failed in business and been part of an entertainment medium that is only worthy of ridicule.
When it comes to rejecting evidence, his disposition is part of a national trend. Climate change deniers and anti vaccine believers both reject anything that challenges their beliefs. I see them cite misrepresented research that they think they understand, even with no real background in statistics or science.

(13,390 posts)Most people don't get exposed. And there are plenty of con artists making a good living off of their lies.
Keep in mind that a Democratic president who is close to 80 is possible in the near future. And, any missteps or gaffes will be considered will be an opportunity for the RW media to diagnose them as being in the final stages of Alzheimer's. Republicans would have a field day. I hope Dems won't do them the favor of handing them a precedent.

(9,106 posts)He IS a freak. His entire life has been a struggle by him to allow him to just be himself. All his business failures, all his infidelities, all his crime, all his political scandals, all just him fighting to be allowed to be himself.
He's completely motivated by hate, malice, cupidity, hedonism, vengeance, lust, wrath, laziness, every possible bad motivation is his. And he's always fought to be allowed to act, unchecked, on any whim that arises from his motivations.
Correct.
