Truly beautiful that he considers his best friend to be his brother who I didn’t even know existed until yesterday and who I’ve never heard him mention once.

Calls into Fox & Friends; is asked about his dead brother...
Trump praises his late brother Robert for his lack of "jealousy" of him. Whether he "had the number one show," a great real estate deal or was becoming president, Trump says, Robert didn't show the jealousy that sometimes exists in families.— Daniel Dale (@ddale8) August 17, 2020

Hell, let's just say "only friend." Because he was my brother and he had no choice. Plus, us assholes got to stick together. Family! Sad!
― Josh in Chicago, Monday, 17 August 2020 13:59 (four years ago) link
Even saying something as simple as "my brother was my best friend", god forbid he not frame it as something where he is in agreement with a widely-held consensus opinion. Its like has to constantly remind himself out loud that nothing he says or thinks is unusual.
― turn the jawhatthefuckever on (One Eye Open), Monday, 17 August 2020 14:02 (four years ago) link
looking back, it's amazing that he was able to fake any interest at all in other people's fortunes during the campaign. or it is amazing that enough voters thought he gave a shit about anything other than self-promotion.
― tobo73, Monday, 17 August 2020 14:04 (four years ago) link
xp to myself: ...or he could just be so unfamiliar with the concept of a friend that the terminology still feels new to him. "When I hear people talking about friends, I notice they often seem to use the term 'best friend'. And what I guess that term means, it seems to apply to me and my brother."

Donald's thoughts on his dead brother, in full (as someone who transcribes interviews a lot, I can only imagine how many times the transcriber had to re-listen to this flood of mouth-diarrhea; no wonder the NY Times so frequently opts for "[indecipherable]" when posting Q&As with him):

Not to state the obvious but it's clear that Trump has never felt empathy for another human being in his entire miserable life.

So fucking bizarre how QAnon has now spread to the rest of the world. I fail to see its 'value' for non-Americans (except perhaps for Canadians, because living vicariously through the US is the closest thing we have to an identity, or so I tell myself in my more despondent moods).

I didn’t know it had spread. But conspiracies that the world is secretly run by an elite group who partake in depraved rituals is a trope that never really goes away. Usually it’s explicitly antisemitic—I don’t know to what degree this is true of Q Anon.

These newer groups and pages also demonstrate the spread of QAnon around the world. They include groups dedicated to QAnon followers in the United Kingdom, Northern Ireland, Canada, Australia, Mexico, Brazil, Germany, Poland, the Netherlands, Bulgaria, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Romania, Serbia and Slovenia. The largest international QAnon groups documented by the Guardian were German, Italian, Polish, Dutch, Australian and British.
