"Donald Trump: is there anything sadder than a chump who thinks he's a champ?"

[orangecrush]

"Oh dear. Was President Trump’s tweet of his head digitally added on to the body of Rocky Balboa/Sylvester Stallone rather too psychologically revealing? The image seemed to say everything you needed to know about Trump’s delusional self-image. Well, I say “needed”. How much does anyone need to know about any man – world leader or regular Joe – who mistakes male heft and musculature for true power?

Before we begin, a minor quibble: the tan of Rocky’s body isn’t an exact match for Trump’s face. The former says “Italian-American”; the latter whispers: “Overzealously applied mortuary makeup that does little to dispel the question marks over Trump’s health sparked by his recent unscheduled ‘medical check’.” But I digress – it’s the internal monologue that counts. The Trump/Rocky hybrid is saying: “Behold my might! This is the real Trump – not that old guy, so flaccid and orange he’s starting to resemble a morally corrupted Winnie the Pooh. NO, A THOUSAND TIMES NO! This toned boxing-gloved Adonis is the true Trump: buff, invincible and intriguingly homoerotic.”

What is there to make of any man who makes a bulked-up, ultra-masculine body image his top priority?"

1. They are trying to convince the base it is real.

I actually got into a bit of an argument on in the YT comment section the other day. I never engage with them on Twitter, I thought they joking at first.

2. The only heavy lifting Trump ever did was Bullsh*t

or as they'd say in his cherished Brooklyn, he's a Baloney Bender

3. From an alternate universe:

Trump is humble in his own way, in the sense that humble really only means to see things as they really are. I continue to believe that most of Trump's arrogance is an act, and when it's not an act, he recognizes it as an old habit that he could give up but he finds it funny and it works as both an amusement, a way to be positive since you have to be some way, and a very powerful tool against his enemies.
