Trump can still shock me ... how about you?

[Demovictory9]

I can read one of his tweets and still think "holy moly, the prez of the USA wrote that".

some behavior shocks me over and over again, "Pocohantas" for one.

Can you still be shocked by something Trump does or says?

[Mr.Bill]

1. Havinng watched him since the 70s,

nothing he says or does really shocks me. Hasn't for a long time. What shocks me is that 40% of the population cheers for it.

What shocks me even more is that at some point in his life, someone hasn't beaten the living shit out of him.

[walkingman]

3. agree on all of your issues - especially on the last one. I guess money is the answer. That and

more than likely he only hangs out with scumbags like himself.

[Journeyman]

13. Yeh, but even scumbags have standards. And at the least, resent getting ripped off . . .

[sop]

2. Not so much shocked by what he says, but that he has so little self-awareness and no shame.

[Chainfire]

4. Not any more

However, he continues to disgust me daily.

[GulfCoast66]

5. Just wait.

I won’t be shocked if he drops the N-word before this is over.

He’s pick his course and can’t change now.

[Demovictory9]

19. He will tweet someone using n word then delete it

[NRaleighLiberal]

6. once you realize he is batshit crazy insane, it just all gets boring

[fleur-de-lisa]

7. Yes, at least once a week.

Should be once an hour. I’m trying not to get used to his insanity, but also trying to keep myself sane.

[cally]

8. I find his act boring and repetitive

I just feel sad and desperate to end this saga

[Demovictory9]

20. Me too

[Turbineguy]

9. The bounty issue was a surprise.

Nothing else comes to mind.

[tavernier]

10. He's like an advertisement that you instantly mute

because it just gets on your nerves. I don’t even care to hear him when the talking heads play something he said so they can make fun of it. I am just so over him. I think a lot of people are just plain over him. If he’s such a great entertainment person then no one has ever told him what over exposure does to a celebrity. People just don’t want to see or hear them anymore.

[Skittles]

11. not really, no

he displays daily what utter fucking scum he is

what does shock me is:

the unwillingness of the GOP to do anything about him

AND

the continued support he receives from some very sick fans

[pwb]

12. He is a pig.

In every way.

[musclecar6]

14. Nothing

He says shocks me. He has no redeeming qualities so anything he says is of no value period.

[2naSalit]

15. No.

He doesn't shock me but exponentially adds to my high level of disgust with each fucked up thing he says or does.

[JonLP24]

16. I'm in shock that Donald Trump of all people is President

I sometimes feel like I have to pinch myself when I see his name in a Presidency context. My first memory of him is a late night host making fun of his hair. I never watched his Apprentice show but even from ancient threads he caused racial controversy. One DUer from late 2000s claimed to write a book about Trump -- this was way before he was President. I wonder where that DUer is. I'll see if I can dig up that ancient thread.

[unblock]

17. *he* hasn't shocked me for a long time. His sycophants and enablers and supporters,

Those are the ones who shock me.

Donnie's too predictable to be shocking, and easily understood given his obvious psychological maladies.

It's the people who aren't really mentally ill themselves, yet insist on behaving as if he weren't, that continues to shock.

[Hortensis]

18. No. It's people who are supposed to be rational who still shock me. nt

[cayugafalls]

21. His July 3rd speech shocked me.

It was simply the most divisive speech ever given by a sitting pResident.

I was stunned. Just when I thought I was immune to his rhetoric, he basically laid out his path to civil war.

[mercuryblues]

22. Once you wrap your head around the idea

that trump would kill and eat a baby on 5th Ave for money, he won't shock you anymore.

He absolutely gets off on the death caused by Covid 19. It is his death porn. He gets off on barbarism. He loves it when people die, even more so if he knows he caused it through his actions.

[Progressive Jones]

23. Yes and no. I mean, I just know that every time I turn around,

another shit storm will soon arrive. Why I ever expect anything else, I will never know.

I always believed that, with any President, there were adults in the room, ready to take
over the wheel if said President ran off the road. Apparently, there aren't.

Edited for grammar.

[mnmoderatedem]

24. the only way he could shock me

is to carry on with a sense of a moral sensible human being.

Will never happen though

[lunasun]

25. When is the supreme court gonna rule on his taxes ?? I'd like to be shocked by his taxes

[chriscan64]

26. The phrase "shocked but not surprised" is the new "at the end of the day"

In one sense, I am not shocked to find us further down a road I thought we were on. The consumers of right wing radio were exploited and conditioned to reject objective proof from scientists and journalists. The gop establishment seemed to be in control. They wrote the scripts for the radio shows, but held and wielded the real power. I always guessed there would be a reckoning, but how that would play out turned out to be what was shocking.

The gop created a Frankenstein monster that turned on them. When John McCain told the woman at a town hall that Obama was a good man, it was not a turning point, just a milestone showing the direction to our present. They would not settle for "he's a good man, we just disagree."

They wanted a monster, someone who would insult the Democrats like they heard on the radio, not just bicker over the top marginal tax rate. It called for a cartoon character, but nobody could be that shallow, divisive and egotistical. The true shock is that a person exists that fits the bill.

[Demovictory9]

27. "The true shock is that a person exists that fits the bill." EXCELLENT POINT!!

I knew of Trump from reality TV and back when he was "The Donald"... knew he was obnoxious but didnt know he was a sociopath!!
