Anyone else sick of Dump referring to himself in the Royal "we"?

[thegoose]

Or maybe completely sick of Dump?

I long for the good old days when we could ignore "The Apprentice." Now it's all Dump, all the time.

1. So, ignore him.

No one is required to listen to the orange buffoon (yet).

If you don't want to listen to him, change the channel or whatever is necessary to cut him off. I manage to avoid him probably 99% of the time, though I also don't watch much cable news, etc.

2. Unfortunately it can't be done completely

How else will we know what the hell else he's planning to do to the country? Scumbag has carte blanche to do whatever he wants.

I did just shut off Chuck Toad. I won't watch that douche.

5. "How else will we know what the hell else he's planning to do to the country? "

There is plenty of coverage of his every move here and in the media. First-hand knowledge is not required.

3. Referring to himself in the third person is worse.

Trump’s use of a stilted rhetorical device in speaking of himself in the third person, really sets my nerves on edge. He does it a lot, especially when he's stressed out by getting caught in some sort of trumpian skuldduggery, then he starts referring to himself by his own name.

People who use this bizarre speach pattern believe that the resulting quotes around their name in print gives them an aire of credibility, it also serves as a method of spreading propaganda.

4. Well, he is the heaviest president since William Howard Taft.

6. It's something they taught him to do early in the campaign after

much notice was taken of how often he used the words "I" and "me" in his campaign speeches. This is back when they were still attempting to pretend he isn't an exclusively self-centered narcissistic toddler-man.

Remember, if you will, when he babbled constantly about how his campaign was "a movement."

7. Every time he says, "Your favorite president, me," I want to scream. nt

[smirkymonkey]

8. Grrrr!

That drives me absolutely insane!

Worst, most hated president in the history of the United States!

[Raine]

9. I actually hadn't noticed

I tend to tune him out.

[LuvNewcastle]

10. I don't have live tv, so I don't hear him very often.

I can't stand his voice. He can be as whiny as Jerry Lewis sometimes. Don't know how people go hear him speak without having bleeding from the ears.

[Mc Mike]

11. Also hate him referring to himself in the 3rd person, like his name represents majesty, a wonderful

storied institution, deserving reverence.

I mute or fast forward him when he's on film speaking, always.

[Towlie]

12. Yes, there's another thread going with a vivid example of that:
