A narcissist excels at vaguely indicating how great things might be if they got their way.
Comment on who's gonna tell him?
idiomaddict@lemmy.world 10 hours agoThere was a time, in December of 2016, where I really thought that trump might come out as a democrat after taking office. I think I’d still prefer Gore had been inaugurated, if we’re changing the presidencies of this century, but trump coming out swinging for progressive causes (or at least socially progressive causes, because he’s been too rich for any actually leftist fiscal policies) would have been nice

Hey just FYI that word is an ableist slur that entered the popular lexicon through self-help scams after two thousand years of being used to villify queer people, and it doesn’t apply to Trump.

I have an actual degree in psychology that I am currently using exclusively to label Trump as having a personality disorder, thank you very much.

Understood. In that case, I will be removing your account from our instance for violating the APA’s inclusive language guidelines concerning person-first language, which I assume you are familiar with. I will not see your reply.

this mf quoted their own opinion article they wrote as a source.
You made a revisionist version of a thousands of years old myth written for Tumblr, published on Medium, and then referenced as proof/source here…
Holyhell, that’s levels of up one’s own ass never seen before.

I was hoping the tariffs would be good, but I certainly expected it to be a disaster otherwise.
In retrospect, it was just really bad, and his tariffs were a ham-fisted turd. He saved the demolition of the country for his second term, after he let Stephen Miller run things and got rid of anyone who was telling him no.

People don’t remember how he flat out campaigned on some policies that were to the left of Hilary. They don’t remember his charisma in the Republican debates, the way he expertly worked crowds back in 2015-16. They ask have forgotten about how he said he’ll “drain the swamp” and that he was “self funding his campaign” so he “wouldn’t be beholden to any other interests”
Turns out he was just a sad wannabe dictator who can’t even manage to control a Latin American nation with the full force of the US Military, let alone establish himself as emperor over the 'states
