Donald Trump: Classic or Dud?

dud

starting to come around to that point of view myself

lol trump's umbrella is the perfect size to protect both of them too

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.

"setting up a tanning salon in his dorm room"

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

he who smelt it dealt it iirc

reach down, between my legs, ease the seat back

wow

i feel so handsome rn

Who do we want to rule

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.

Also there is a glass behind ivanka in the 4-shot

And a cable coming out of her head

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

Fake news!

this is how don, jr. and vanessa trump met https://t.co/6W2FfsVBQW pic.twitter.com/I0Mo2vveYu

that's love

Lol cuet

Trump is such a dad

speaking as a dad, them’s fightin’ words

so basically his dad hooked him up ...

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

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.

eric always looks like he's cosplaying flukeman from the x-files

Yes, lamprey/Flukeman. That is exactly the apt comparison which was just eluding my grasp. I was only able to get this close on my own:

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

Which one is the doctored one? That is, which is the before and which is the after?

How they probably see themselves:

Right, so why are you asking whether it's a legal requirement?

he'll share them with investigators when he's forced to do so. he may have already done that. the public will see them later on. he's not going to release them unilaterally

xpost

i think it's classic that he's on that website with those other public figures. go trump!

Does he need to share returns? Can't Mueller (or wouldn't he have already) get warrant to take them directly from IRS? Not sure how that works

he promised he'd release his tax returns. maybe we don't deserve to see them? or he's just waiting till the time is right during the case, to prove to everyone what a big strong billionaire he is, who doesn't need any help from the kremlin?

you know i do lampreyface in every single photo that's ever taken of me

this is also why i avoid being photographed

mr. trump is a civil rights activist, bringing porn stars to network television, when before the *fake news* shunned the poor stormy danielses of the world. #WWFWCWMRGA nikolai volkoff the iron shiek

mr. trump is a genius, banging a porn star and then rubbing christian evangelicals' noses in it. MAGA!

[ The conversation] started off all about him just talking about himself: And he’s like, ‘Have you seen my new magazine?’ … And so I was like, “Does this normally work for you? … does just … talking about yourself normally work? … Someone should take that magazine and spank you with it. … And I’ll never forget the look on his face … I was like, ‘turn around, drop ‘em.’ … I just gave him a couple swats. and from that moment on, he was a completely different person. He quit talking about himself and he asked me things … it just became … more appropriate.

According to this, Daniels was able to achieve the impossible: she broke through Trump’s delusional solipsism, literally slapping him into awareness of another person. And she did it by refusing to play along with his self-vaunting monologue. By questioning the effectiveness of Trump’s boasting, she stopped it. We can all learn from this.

We can all learn from this.

OK. I'd be more than willing to swat him a few times.

Me, too, but with a pool ball in a sock, or a lock on a chain.
