Doesn't matter if his base would believe it or not. It could be something that makes Donald look bad. Or weak. Or a loser. All the rumors about there being a pee pee tape wasn't so much about Trump being kinky, I mean who cares?, it was that hookers were peeing on him. That he was in a submissive position. Trump's whole persona is he is a tough guy, a wannabe mobster, and anything that shows that he is a weak loser would devastate him. So that is why he had Sean Spicer lie about his inauguration crowd. Why he refused to believe Hillary Clinton won the popular vote. Why he said Biden didn't win in 2020. We might not ever find out but I'm 100% Musk knows something.

Quick story: in 2018 one of my closest friends was going to visit Russia with her dad from Ireland. For the visa, Russia was asking all sorts of questions about her dad's business. Like more than just # of employees and sector of business and revenue. They were asking his employees' names and places of birth and immigration status in Ireland. Dad didn't want to answer all those questions so they ended up not going. (Which was cool for me, b/c instead, she & her then-husband and their two kids came over to visit me in NYC!) Anyway, she wondered aloud why they wanted all that info; I replied in jest "to see if they want to make him President of the US" Finally, @Jaded - hugs to you.

They don’t care. He promised them all kinds of things he cannot and will not be able to deliver and will spend the next four years doing nothing but creating chaos because that’s what they actually voted for and want Exactly. And it feeds into the vindictiveness of his base that doesn't even care if he follows through on anything he promises. As long as it angers the rest of us, they are happy with him. It just goes to show that they don't have any real platform other than getting the collective goat of their opposition. They have been pumped up with so much hate for Democrats and anything they think we stand for that it's not even about anything other than that with them. I'm sure most of them don't even care about a woman's right to an abortion or most of the ideals and policies Democrats tend to hold dear. They just like seeing him upset us. 5 1 3 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/150441-chit-chat-the-feels/page/71/#findComment-8540555

He survived Covid. He survived (allegedly) a bullet whizzing by his ear. I could see McDonalds being the ones to take him out. I don't hope he dies, that would be too easy on him. And that's yet another reason I don't believe in the death penalty. I think people (including Trump) should be forced to live to see themselves rendered powerless, left in the dust and unable to continue to live free to do as they wish. This would be especially difficult for someone as narcissistic as Trump. Besides, dying would likely only make him a martyr with his base. 5 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/150441-chit-chat-the-feels/page/71/#findComment-8540566

The guy brings out the worst in everybody, those on the right AND the left. Sadly, I'm not exempt for that, because I've been wanting bad things to happen to him for almost a decade now. And he never takes a day off. Ever. Man, looks like there's no such things as ghosts. Doesn't look like any Republicans have seen the error of their ways in one night. Everything is about him. He has to have all the attention, all the time. If he doesn't hear his name in the news for one minute, he says something so unbelievably stupid, so outrageously awful so the spotlight will return to shine on him. He can't stand not being the focal point. It's exhausting. Like a toddler constantly screaming "Look at me, mommy!

fairffaxx December 26, 2024 Share December 26, 2024 I worked with a raging narcissist & Trump is just like him. The only way to deal with them is to ignore them -- withdraw all attention & they shrivel like a plant being denied water.

bluegirl147 December 26, 2024 Share December 26, 2024 It will never cease to baffle me how so many of us can see the real him. The insecure whiny cry baby who would sooner burn this country to the ground than be looked at as loser. While way too many people see him as smart, strong and with a Midas touch to be successful at everything he does, no matter the evidence to the contrary. 7 7 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/150441-chit-chat-the-feels/page/71/#findComment-8540621

He is like Glen Close's character in Fatal Attraction. "I won't be ignored America." I wonder if he hadn't had indictments and investigations hanging over his head if he would have run again. 9 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/150441-chit-chat-the-feels/page/71/#findComment-8540625
tres bien December 26, 2024 Share December 26, 2024 In some way I expected too much from the Dems. I thought they had figured out how to deal with him after 2016. I thought that their decisive win in taking the House in 2018 was the beginning of the end of him. And that maybe Biden’s win in 2020 wasn’t an anomaly. But no. There’s something fundamentally broken with American voters. Some got sucked into a lie that got repeated day after day for four years. Some couldn’t be bothered to vote. And some decided they’d throw away all sensibility and vote for a known threat because they didn’t know enough about the other candidate or some other such nonsense. I was not happy that Harris was spending so much time running on abortion and democracy. Had we not learned that it’s the economy stupid. Trump had no policies to run on although that was the reason his voters said they supported him. But he had a track record. A really bad one. And that’s what the Dems should have taken advantage of. He did not win by a landslide. He won by 1.5%. He got less votes than he got in 2016. If his voters are waiting for him to Make America Great Again they’re gonna be waiting for hell to freeze over 4 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/150441-chit-chat-the-feels/page/71/#findComment-8540644

I agree but there are people who get mad when they hear it but it's true. When people vote for people like MTG. And Lauren Boebert. And Ted Cruz. And Paul Gosar. You have to ask why? Those people are not charismatic. They do not have policies that will help people. So we know there is something wrong with the candidates so doesn't that mean there is something wrong with the people that vote for them? I do think Fox News and the whole right wing media machine has definitely contributed to awful candidates being elected but at some point you have to stop making excuses for voters. If you vote for someone who thinks there are space lasers controlled by Jewish people to start wildfires I can't help you. Was Kamala the perfect candidate? No. Was she better equipped to be president? Yes. Why? Because she wouldn't be planning a revenge tour as her agenda. She wouldn't be filling her Cabinet with suck ups. She wouldn't be alienating allies. Whenever I hear someone say they would vote Democrat if only there was better candidates I want to ask them who would you like to see run. And most people don't have an answer. I personally would love to see Katie Porter do something. She should be the incoming Senator from CA but that didn't pan out. So for any disillusioned Democrats do you really think voting for Republicans or not voting at all will help?
