    Paraphrasing Mary: “Every lie he told, all the energy he spends lying, is in order to hide who he really is.” “The more people confront him with the truth, the more he will get out of control and fight back”

    Stating the truth that anyone with a brain in their head already knows.

      It’s always worth repeating, especially so for those people without a brain in their heads. Those people rely on others to do the thinking for them, so if reasonable people were to stop confronting them with facts and completely abandon them to their delusions, then shit would get a whole lot worse very fast.

    I hate when people talk about Donny’s father as if he was some sort of saint. That fucker was a segregationist real estate mogul that funded the KKK.

      Is it talking about him like he’s a saint to acknowledge that he actually did build a real estate empire from middle-class origins?

      Maybe that is something of a sainthood to some Americans.

        Fred made a lot of money, especially compared to his son or his father, but he nonetheless inherited a business and sizeable amount of money from Friedrich Trump. I wouldn’t call it Middle Class for the time period.

        Wealth is certainly a religion to many Americans.

        Yeah, it’s Worthington’s Law in action. I cannot reference this enough, because this is actually how many people think. I cannot believe how many conversations about Elon/Donnie/Bezos/Gates, etc all ended with the equivalent of “yeah, but he makes more money than YOU!” (which I nearly always sound not very distant from “My dad can beat up YOUR dad!”. It’s pathetic.

    Wasnt there someone who did the math that said that Trumps such an investment genius that he would have gotten a better rate of return just from the interest of the money, instead of using it on all his “investments”?

    I actually really like Mary Trump from what I’ve seen. Her father was ostracized from the family essentially in part because of spoiled Donnie. I love that she can strike blow after blow with family knowledge combined with her PhD in Psychology.

        there are hundreds of thousands of psychology PhDs though. Why is this one relevant to presidential politics?

          I think for every PhD there are a hundred students who stopped short, so even if you don’t respect the knowledge that comes with devoting your life to academics you can at least respect the effort they put in.

    Money you enjoyed wasting, was not wasted. Seems like he enjoys tacky and gaudy things so I wouldn’t say he wasted it.

    He is a worse businessman than if he had just left his father’s money in an index fund, despite being in the scummiest and scammiest businesses, including casinos and a fake university, and benefitting from the wild appreciation of NYC real estate in his lifetime.

    But that doesn’t mean he wasted his money.

    Mary Trump, at this point, isn’t saying anything she didn’t say 5+ years ago. The whole family are a bunch of blowhards, and she’s definitely just flogging books at this point for people that genuinely do suffer from TDS. They grifted the political right wing, now they want some of that sweet sweet librul money.

      “TDS” isn’t a real thing. It’s called being concerned that your nation elected a literal traitor as president, who then attempted to steal an election and hold a fascist coup.

      Seems like a pretty reasonable thing to be upset about.

      Bro you have TDS if you’re utilizing fucking “Trump derangement syndrome” as an actual insult against people who are against Trump. You’ve got some right wing brainwashing affecting you and probably need to get your mind right.

      MAGAtards are the true idiots who suffer Trump Derangement Syndrome, because who else but a deranged person would go to prison for that fucking dementia addled megalomaniacal narcissist?

      TDS was always projection to dehumanize Trump’s enemies to make them appear “deranged” to his Qult followers.

      Whenever I see TDS mentioned, I think of Trump’s Nuremberg-style rallies with his slavering cultists and rambling hate speeches, and its hard to remember that “TDS” is supposed to be an insult directed at those on the left.

      I haven’t seen TDS used since the supreme court overturned roe vs wade and proved all those smug “libruls” right. Really since january 6th opened the stupidity wormhole it hasn’t made any sense. Its surprising seeing somebody use it unironically as though they’ve been in a coma since 2018 and just woke up.

        I thought it was dumb when I first started seeing it in 2015 or so. It wasn’t even original (just ripped off CDS and ODS), and when it is applied to anyone critiquing someone such as donnie who is so unqualified and so flawed and terrible as a person vs. those that went into full rage-outs (and still do) over Hillary, Bill and Barack, it borders on laughable.

        As always, the right are projecting. They had full derangement over tan suits, latte salutes, long form birth certificates, bad land deals (that the Clintons lost money on) and stains on dresses. They have no leg to stand on when claiming anyone has “derangement” over donnie.

        People that talk about “TDS” unironically remind me of the people that go on and on about “woke” as if it’s a bad thing.
