I think he probably outlived his usefulness on this subject a while ago tbh

i keep waiting for someone that has that kind of venue to call his "plan" out as straight up moronic, ill informed and dangerous to his face and i guess this is as close as were going to get.

back on topic: Trump dissing the officers that didn't go into the school in Florida during the shooting, and then saying he would've gone in "without a weapon" = classic

flappy bird, Monday, 26 February 2018 19:22 (six years ago) link

that is inarguably hilarious, sorry everyone

Trump couldn't even act superior around Obama IRL, he was shook every time he stood near him. our president is an internet tough guy.

In a 2008 interview with Howard Stern, Trump told the shock jock that he turned away from an injured elderly man who had fallen off the stage at a Mar-a-Lago benefit because he couldn’t stomach the sight of blood.

“This guy falls off right on his face, hits his head, and I thought he died,” Trump told Stern. “And you know what I did? I said, ‘Oh, my God, that’s disgusting,’ and I turned away. I couldn’t, you know, he was right in front of me and I turned away. I didn’t want to touch him.”

even now, that slouchy, arms-crossed look he seems to fall into now every time he's in a meeting is just textbook weak posture. like he's not even interested in playing the part anymore.

Fire & fury was hilarious and I enjoyed reading it but it shouldn’t be a surprise that Michael Wolff is a liar. I don’t think pointing this out helps Trump either. It’s not like Wolff was his only critic or anything.

still, the fact that there have been practically no specific denials of stuff in the book kinda leads me to believe that a lot of it is basically accurate

the umbrella of a man who would rush a school shooter unarmed

weird that a republican president would keep for himself something that would be of benefit to others if only it was shared

This piece is really something

Donald Trump grew up in a 23-room manse in Queens, a faux Southern plantation house with a Cadillac limousine in the driveway. He attended private school from kindergarten on; his focus in school, Trump told The Washington Post in 2016, was “creating mischief, because, for some reason, I liked to stir things up and I liked to test people. . . . It wasn’t malicious so much as it was aggressive.”

In second grade, he said, he punched his music teacher in the face. He got into trouble often. Before eighth grade started, his father sent him to military school.

At New York Military Academy, where the rules were so strictly enforced that a desperate cadet was said to have leaped into the Hudson River in an attempted escape, Trump thrived. Although he ate in a mess hall instead of being served steaks by the family cook, and although he slept in a barracks rather than his own room in a mansion, he for the first time took pride in his grades. He won medals for neatness and order. He also won notice from fellow cadets for touting his father’s wealth and boasting to friends that “I’m going to be famous one day.”

Trump competed to become a cadet leader and enjoyed wielding authority. As a junior supply sergeant in E Company, he ordered that a cadet be struck on the backside as punishment for breaking formation. Another time, while inspecting dorm rooms, Trump saw cadet Ted Levine’s unmade bed and blew up, ripping off the sheets and tossing them on the floor, Levine said. Levine threw a combat boot at Trump and hit him with a broomstick. Trump, infuriated, grabbed Levine and tried to push him out a second-story window, Levine said.

Promoted to captain of A Company, Trump won respect from some of the other boys, who said they never wanted to disappoint him. Trump introduced them to a world of fun, setting up a tanning salon in his dorm room, bringing beautiful women to campus and leading the baseball team to victory.

But other cadets said Trump tried to break boys who didn’t bend to his will. During Trump’s senior year, when one of his sergeants shoved a new cadet against a wall for not standing at attention quickly enough, Trump was relieved of his duty in the barracks, said Lee Ains, the student who was shoved.

Trump denied being demoted, saying he was actually moved up. “You don’t get elevated if you partake in hazing,” he told The Post in 2016. He was put in charge of a drill team that would perform in New York City’s Columbus Day Parade.

https://phys.org/news/2018-02-reactions-odor-reveal-political-attitudes.html

A scale was developed for the participants to rate their levels of disgust for body odours, both their own and others. The scale was used in a large-scale survey administered online in different countries, together with questions regarding political views. In the U.S., questions about how they planned to vote in the presidential race in 2016 were included. "It showed that people who were more disgusted by smells were also more likely to vote for Donald Trump than those who were less sensitive. We thought that was interesting, because Donald Trump talks frequently about how different people disgust him. He thinks that women are disgusting and that immigrants spread disease, and it comes up often in his rhetoric. It fits with our hypothesis that his supporters would be more easily disgusted themselves," says Jonas Olofsson.

of course they say you can never really smell yourself like someone else can

Also there is a whole light setup reflected in the mirror so apparently the photographer gave up

Doctored according to Snopes, although the real photo isn't much better.

Of course it's doctored. The only real surprise is how very little it's actually doctored.

Trump is such a dad

so basically his dad hooked him up ...

"Hi I'm Donald Trump, I wanted to introduce you to my son, Donald Trump, Jr."

motorpsycho nightmare winningham (Hadrian VIII), Thursday, 15 March 2018 10:30 (six years ago) link

So Don Jr. met his wife basically because his dad kept homing in on her as an anonymous piece of ass. Something to share with the grandkids, I suppose. And absolutely the hallmark of a family one wants to marry into.

I know this is trivial and petty but Eric clearly can't NOT do lampreyface. Even in a situation where he knows he's being photographed and it might be advisable to look unlampreylike.
