MY EARS HURT - Trump's Talks Like A 12 Year Old. Really Embarrassing.

[TheMastersNemesis]

I simply cannot listen to his shit. His speech patterns are incoherent gibberish. And it really reveals the stupid mentality of people who supported him and voted for him. They are as infantile as he is. And this orange pig is going to represent us in front of the world. You hear nothing but repetitive verbal vomit.

You have to hang your head i shame. I simply cannot listen to one second of the garbage.

[Snarkoleptic]

1. Bigly.

[bresue]

2. MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY!

2 minutes and I have to turn the channel....he is like listening to a child whining....

[Phentex]

3. 12 is generous.

12 would be tremendous.

[lark]

32. 12 would be better than the 7 year old we see all the time.

I so agree that he's unlistenable. I even listened to a lot of the drivel GW put out, but just can't with orange assface. He's just so disorganized, no coherent thoughts, all nonsense and lies and hate for everyone but Russia and the rich. His treachery, greed and Russia First practices are endangering the country, it's working class and even the entire world.

[luvMIdog]

4. yes it's humiliating. It's like we got someone from the Jerry Springer Show for President

[Sugar Smack]

5. Trump's the only US president I've ever known of who can't understand or speak English.

I can't imagine the damage he'll cause when the foreign countries he visits speak more nuanced English than he does. He may resort to the easy American hand gestures that worked so well for him in his campaign. The thumbs-up and the "okay" gesture, I've heard, are neither the "way to go!" or the "okay" signals he thinks they are in those countries. He's so dull-witted he won't even see the point of "When in Rome".

Embarrassing. There's no dignity.

I feel your pain. For me, it's a skin-crawling sensation that's with me from the moment I wake up these days, to the minute I slide into unconsciousness.

[Kleveland]

25. English as a second language

It is disgraceful, and nauseating that this moron is going abroad to represent our great country.

One has to find some amusement, in a morbid sort of way, that this bloated tangerine does not speak English or use correct English grammar as well as many foreign leaders and diplomats, who speak English as a second language.

In fact, I am sure many speak more than two languages!

This *Rump character speaks like a burger joint ad, if that well!

Certainly he is a huge fan of propaganda minister Goebbels, who said (and I paraphrase here) "If you repeat a lie often enough, people will believe it."

And as far as his infantile hand gestures, his "OK" sign or whatever you call has ruined my appreciation of some of my most favorite Asian art and sculpture.

Every time I now see a representation via portraits or statuary of the magnificent Buddha, with his enlightened hand gesture, I think of that rotting hull of a human being that is occupying the "Leader of the Free World" designation.

What? I know, my personal issue, but it bugs me!

More like leader of the line to get a Bigly Mac! (With a side of heart attack)

I really hate to hate.... but there we are.........

[Sugar Smack]

28. He won't be able to stop himself.

The fact that other countries need to "child-proof" everything instead of merely "receiving" and "hosting" the US president makes me cringe. Although, I do find some morbid amusement in it.

I have to admit, I was using the thumbs-up every once in a while, but now that the gesture's been appropriated by Trump, it's meaningless to me, and I actually refrain from doing it.

[Nitram]

6. No, most 12-year-olds are more coherent than Dump.

I'd place it closer to 5 or 6-years old in terms of cohesion. Perhaps a 12-year-old in terms of vocabulary and lack of impulse control.

[uponit7771]

9. +1

[Pacifist Patriot]

12. I agree. In fact, I've never met a 12 year old who wasn't more coherent.

[teezy]

7. I have to change the channel or mute it when he comes on.

Not only does he demonize his own citizens, but he praises the worst of the worst, and does it sounding like an unprepared elementary kid giving a presentation.

I can't handle the level of stupid surrounding him, his administration and his supporters.

[iluvtennis]

21. Same here. Put money on it that he will embarrass the US on this trip...GAH

[Le Gaucher]

8. Plus he repeats every simple sentence 2 or 3 times

Very irritating speech tic

[smirkymonkey]

11. Ugh, so annoying!

[Dulcinea]

31. That's a sales technique.

Repeat your message to increase familiarity.

[hlthe2b]

10. I just wish for one time that when he says "Believe me. Believe me!" that someone would

come out and say, but Mr. President, WE DON'T BELIEVE YOU!"

[luvMIdog]

26. it's a tell he says it when he's lying

[dalton99a]

13. Believe me, it's very, very annoying

But for the stupid fucks, it's music to their ears

[Catherine Vincent]

14. Check out CNN homepage - pic of tRump

Not a good pic. He's not goanna like it.

[img][/img]

[dalton99a]

15. Reptilian and menacing

[Sugar Smack]

18. A cornered, startled beast!!

His shoulders are all hunched. His posture is getting worse (I note, with glee).

Whoa. He's as ugly as homemade sin.

[Sophiegirl]

24. I initially read your post as "cornbread."

But now that I think about it.......right color.....right texture.

Don't make me hate cornbread!!!!

[They_Live]

30. Tee hee!

Glad I'm not the only one who is doing double-takes on words. It happens a lot for me, and my misunderstandings/first impressions are often hilarious.

[Sugar Smack]

40. How about the word "caged"?

Actually, I like that image better!

BTW, your username's what I've called my beloved calico kitty for years.

[Sophiegirl]

42. Caged Works!

Sofie is my white and grey splotched kitteh. But it has been my username since the days of "You've got mail!"

[SchrodingersCatbox]

20. There are good pics of him? nt

[alarimer]

16. He makes George W. Bush sound like Frederick Douglass

Who I hear is being recognized more and more.

[ffr]

17. His supporters should be shamed. See a tRump/pEnce bumpersticker, flip the driver off.

Scream at them for being unpatriotic pinheads that got us into this Russian lead mess. Do us all a favor, turn off the RW talking heads and think for yourself. You RED voters are responsible and should be ashamed of yourselves!!!

[dchill]

19. K&R. Bigly.

[secondwind]

22. Am really thinking that he has Alzheimer's... if you listen him in the 70's, he's a totally

different person than what we have in the WH. And his family try to cover this up.. Ivanka is his crutch, he relies heavily on her.

[Grammy23]

35. Don't forget that it has been commonly noted that

he exhibits most of the behaviors associated with Narcissism. I will leave it to mental health experts to assign a proper type of Narcissism to his case. Layer that over with another type of disorder, say dementia (another ailment with many variations), and you have a person with some confusing and off putting behavior. He is manipulative, self serving and often appallingly ignorant of history and basic facts. He simply makes things up but talks with great authority, as if he knows what he is talking about. Some of his ardent fan base are lacking in some basic knowledge, too, so when he speaks with authority, they believe him. They WANT to believe him. It never occurs to them that he is making it up as he goes along. They don't analyze it or think critically about it. That strategy has worked for him for a long time with a certain number of people.

However, people in NYC and around the world who know tRump or have been burned by his business practices know a different Donald tRump. They are not impressed by his authoritarian bombast, not under the spell. Many of us were put off by what we saw during last year's campaign. If we didn't know much about him, our radar went off that something wasn't quite right about him. The signs and symptoms of his illness(es) jumped out as a clear warning that something was wrong. His family has done a terrible disservice to this country (indeed the world) by covering for him, enabling him to continue bamboozling the uninformed or easily swayed.

Another aspect to this story is how the Republican party jumped into bed with him for their own nefarious reasons. The entanglement of the tRump campaign and the republicans will be unraveled over the next few months and I think when the truth comes out, the Republican Party (like tRump) will be destroyed.

[INdemo]

23. I agree out that yes this is correct and to add to the Trump voter background I

would have to say that perhaps their family tree doesn't have branches.

[LonePirate]

27. That's part of why the education gap in the election was so massive.

Whites without college degrees supported him in stratospheric numbers because they could understand him. Educated Americans shunned him because they could discern his idiocy from what he said and how he said it.

If I am watching television or a video on the web and he suddenly starts talking in it, I have to mute it or turn it off because he like nails on a chalkboard for him. I become dumber if I am trapped somewhere like at an airport and he opens his mouth on some screen.

The man is an unintelligent fool. He makes W seem like Mensa material. It's simply appalling to me that so many people want a man as stupid as he is to lead this country.

[Ilsa]

29. I can understand if they can't see it because

they've never taken care of elderly people with dementia, etc. But if they are parents, they should be able to recognize someone with such a limited vocabulary; that he speaks like a fifth grader.

[Texin]

33. I can't stand to watch him, let alone listen to the shitgibbon.

Disgusting blob of so-called human flesh. He grows more grotesque by the minute.

I am hoping that he'll have a complete nervous breakdown during this trip, but he's got his human pacifiers with him, so that #Sadly won't happen unless somebody tries to serve him "foreign" food instead of his well-done McDonald's burger.

[bucolic_frolic]

34. Word of advice: Don't read his lips

watch his actions

Congress is moving right along ruining America and 45's pen is fine

We're being played again

[dalton99a]

37. +1

[caballojm]

36. At this point, I'd prefer President Camacho. Bigly.

[Dave Starsky]

43. Camacho is worlds better than Trump.

Camacho at least cared about the American people and trusted science to solve their agricultural crisis. He knew Not Sure was smarter than him, and he welcomed his advice.

Give me President Camacho any day over the willful ignoramus we have now.

[onetexan]

38. yeap, it's revolting to me as well

way before he became a candidate for POTUS. I simply cannot stand to hear him talk that i literally have to change the channel whenever the news has him on. He is an embarassment of a human being. How and why he is president is another embarassment.

[politicat]

39. Language Log has noticed that he's actually trending both louder and pitchier.

Usually indicates rising stress.

I read (sometimes) the transcripts. I mute the audio and watch the closed captions (a really good way to read his body language, by the way, and his body is screaming discomfort and fury) but I don't listen to him, except to monitor his degree of verbal looping. It's getting worse.

I can't say I'm immune to schadenfrueude. I enjoy watching him be miserable.

[Martin Eden]

41. 45 is a National Shame and Embarrassment

Listening to him talk clearly reveals that he is:
Immature
Ignorant
Petulant
Vindictive
a Narcissist
a Sociopath
a Demagogue
a Pathological Liar

We can see this and so can the rest of the world, but his supporters are blind from decades of propaganda vomited by the likes of Roger Ailes.

[workinclasszero]

44. Trump is the legacy of Ailes and his fake news op Fox

[Shell_Seas]

45. And have you ever notices the shape of his mouth?

[Buns_of_Fire]

46. I'll just leave this here...

I know it's not nice, and I probably shouldn't be doing it, but it's not like we're talking about a real human being here.

[Shell_Seas]

48. And he's orange.

HA!

[spiderpig]

47. Oh, where to begin?

He is an ignoramus, a con-man and a fool - and proud of it.

His much-vaunted business acumen is sheer bull. Yet enough voters fell for it to sneak him into the White House.

I've never seen such an epic idiot on the world stage, and I'm no teenager.

[Aristus]

49. My grandson was more articulate when he was 6 than Trump is now.
