I was gonna change the channel as soon as the press conference started, but since Macron went first, I left it.
MF45 babbled about thank you melania bridget francegreat truly G7. He has absolutely NOTHING worthwhile to say and I laughed at how uncomfortable he looks knowing it.
Why can't the BigMacs catch up to him on live television?????

(12,712 posts)I think his brand of narcissism indicates that he does not really know that he is a "fucking idiot". You see, that's the real problem underlying his great buffoon, song and dance.
I find that people who have a good idea about how much they don't know, (and that's pretty much infinite) are able to transcend the stage of sublime ignorance and actually learn and grow in knowledge because of that. His glaring ignorance, poor vocabulary and lack of education stand out, but he is unable to make any comparisons or even acknowledge that lest he compromise his increasingly fragile narcissistic image. He has way too much invested in that now, and over a lifetime. It's a cement overcoat of ignorance he lives in. His major concern, obviously, (like a meth addict) is to maintain his narcissistic supply at all costs and WE pay for it, just like everybody else has had to.
You don't put people like him in power like that and expect any good results. You would be better off putting them away for the sake of humanity.
So, Trump appears to be a real-time demonstration of the Dunning-Kruger effect and that may be another reason why his throngs of idol worshiping followers find him captivating, compelling and alluring.
So, at least it is obvious to us

I think you're right about his narcissism. The people around MF45 probably have at least some control of what he sees and hears, so that keeps him in a bubble. He babbles a lot of the same crap in every speech. He's comfortable at his klan rallies, but when he's onstage with someone who is clearly knowledgeable and relevant, it looks like his discomfort comes from a little bit of realization of his own ignorance and uselessness.
Time for another klan rally to make him feel good. . . .
