I know this is the least of our problems, but Trump really scares me when he

[no_hypocrisy]

looks angry. He reminds me of my first impression at age 11 when I saw photos of Hitler.

Not just angry but dangerous, likely to harm indiscriminately.

Not confusing threat with real harm. I mean intention to harm and to continue until stopped.

[malaise]

1. Effin evil

That is all

[leftyladyfrommo]

2. He thinks he looks tough. He doesn't look

tough. He looks completely deranged.

[Diamond_Dog]

3. Exactly my thoughts too leftylady.

[PatSeg]

16. That is true

But he's still dangerous because of what he inspires in his followers. He doesn't have to personally be "tough". Deranged people are often dangerous.

[leftyladyfrommo]

18. Trump is the most dangerous and completely

insane threat we have been up against.

He has lost touch with reality. In his truly ugly head he sees himself as some all powerful dispenser of justice.

Unbelievable. In my wildest dreams I never saw anything like this coming.

[PatSeg]

19. I never saw anything like this coming either,

even though we've seen such leaders crop up all over the world. It isn't all that uncommon, but we naively thought it would never happen here. For some reason, we thought we were above all that.

As much as I've had a low regard for most republican politicians over the years, I would have never imagined so many would bow so easily to one who is so outrageous and yes, dangerous. The lack of character and scruples has been stunning to witness and from seemingly intelligent and well educated people. Except for a small handful, it appears that there is no line they won't cross to preserve their place in government.

I know there could be Putin style blackmail involved with some of them, but it can't possibly be all of them. They apparently are just too weak to stand up to a mob-style bully.

[leftyladyfrommo]

20. They are all afraid of him and the very real

threat that comes with crossing him.

I think they are just hoping he will self destruct. And it looks like he might.

Seriously, what kind of monster would harm family members like he does. He pts out names and addresses so his mob can go after them.

[PatSeg]

21. Oh yes, I'm sure that they do

How courageous of them, just sit back and cower and hope he'll self-destruct. In many respects, that makes them worse than he is.

[bdamomma]

29. I'm just throwing

this out there. In regard to your last comment, are we also weak to stand up to a mob-style bully????? Just asking.

[PatSeg]

32. Perhaps many of us have never really been tested

I have been impressed however by how many Democrats have stood up to him, even when they've been faced with threats from the MAGA base. If my family was in possible jeopardy, I'm not sure how I would react, though I'd like to believe I wouldn't back off.

[moonscape]

30. Yes, I was so naive. As little as

I thought of Republicans, I thought more of them by miles (okay, some yards) than turned out to be true.

I actually believed Republican Senators would be a brake. The complicity/capitulation has been astonishing to watch.

[PatSeg]

33. Yes, me too

Except for some of the extremists, I really thought the traditional republicans were more grounded and as you said "would be a brake". I suppose that is because of what I witnessed during Watergate. Shoot Barry Goldwater urged Nixon to resign because he assured him he would be impeached if he didn't.

I just assumed that we still had republicans like that. Of course, we don't know all that Putin has done behind the scenes. He is a master at kompromat and bribery. Apparently, he couldn't manipulate Liz Cheney, Mitt Romney, or Adam Kinzinger, but damn, there should have been so many more.

[MorbidButterflyTat]

23. Yep

Psycho.



Just an old pathetic man.

[bdamomma]

34. just

a blob, you would think with all that weight and bad eating habits he would just go.

[Septua]

4. I don't see it as a lesser problem.

All of his persecution rhetoric aimed at judges, DAs, anti-Trump republicans, Biden, etc keep the base stirred up and perpetuate the threats.

It's the only 'campaign strategy' he has and it works...

[Walleye]

5. That's a good instinct. I remember when I was little and heard Joe McCarthy's voice on the radio

Scared the living shit out of me, I thought he was the bogeyman

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

27. Unfortunately, Trump will be around a lot longer than McCarthy.

McCarthy was taking a permanent dirt nap before he reached the age of 50.

[onecaliberal]

6. Yeah? Did you see his Covid response? A million people are already dead.

[Martin Eden]

7. Juvenile tantrum is what I see

Usually when he's playing the victim card like a spoiled child who doesn't get what he wants, or might have to face real consequences for bad behavior.

It's not an expression of power, but of powerlessness.

Except, perhaps, to incite stochastic terrorism by his cult. But he does that more often with his usual lies than fits of rage.

[ITAL]

8. I always think he seems more like Mussolini

[Brother Buzz]

28. Totally!

Especially when he juts his chin up in the air. Total rip off of Mussolini

[John Farmer]

35. That's wha t Iposted

on the conservative forum where I used to post before I got permanently banned.

[Wounded Bear]

9. Meh, I get you. There's a visceral reaction to gestures like that, but consider...He's acting.

It's pure WWE showmanship. He's a coward, always has been. It's why he's always had to cheat on everything. He knows he can't perform in real life, so he does the same shit every bully does, he acts tougher than he really is, better than the really is, smarter than he really is. He's a hollow shell imitation of what he projects.

[Goonch]

11. Saw a video of Kathy Griffin in I think the outskirts

of New York on her tour. There were MAGA protests outside the venue. They were protesting her for the stunt she pulled with a fake Trump head years ago. They were rabbid. So all in on attacking her and loving every moment. Really frightening. They wanted blood.

[Reader Rabbit]

12. He looks like a toddler throwing a tantrum.

Considering he thinks and acts like a toddler on a regular basis, this isn't such a large step.

Still beyond infuriating that there are so many people who believe that this creature is capable of rational thought, let alone running a country.

[Roc2020]

13. Trump does not scare me one bit

He is evil. I don't fear evil. And if you do you have already loss the war.

[sueh]

14. It's just as EJean Carroll said at the end of the first trial..

He is just a man.

[MorbidButterflyTat]

24. Agree.

[PatSeg]

15. Yes and it has gotten worse

That is the face of a cruel, dangerous monster. When he first showed up on the political scene, he had more control over his facial expressions, but over time, he has gotten meaner and more hateful looking.

I suppose that now we are seeing who he really is and that is the face of nightmares.

[leftyladyfrommo]

26. He is a monster. nt

[Ping Tung]

17. Even Eva Braun would turn him down for a date.

[leftyladyfrommo]

25. And her bar was really low. nt

[Kid Berwyn]

22. Visualize Trump as he really is.

[Faux pas]

31. I imagine

he had the same look on his ugly mug when he was a kid, kicking, screaming and pounding his tiny fists on the floor...Hell, who knows he probably still does that. The complete picture of the unevolved man.
