Our Gangster-in-Chief has the mentality of a 10 year old, a stupid one at that. ANY Democrat would be better than him, and Vice-President Biden will be a billion times better. No complacency, no matter what the polls say !

There's a way to deal with people like that, and it's not necessarily displaying your outrage openly. You strategize, you lie in wait, you make your move.
Fire with fire.
I really hope Kamala goes low.

But please, please, please have Joe's AG prosecute this shit, alongside everything else that needs prosecution.
It can't be buried under a call for "unity". We can't go forward unless we look back.

(1,493 posts)and leaving shit all over the place. I hope that Biden/Harris team has a strategy in place to fight sociopathic behavior.
How does one fight someone who uses illegal tactics and doesnt give a rats ass about anyone but himself in a way that is smart, effective and legal?

(41,963 posts)Yeah the rubes would follow him but radio silence from all the rest of us would send him absolutely over the edge. Sadly he has the ability to be dangerous.
Ill say this, if we can remove that power there wont be a crazier bedbug out there.

(10,279 posts)proper place, like a convention center or a grand hotel, with first-class environmental controls for air-conditioning and restrooms, tables with linen, champagne, etc. Because Trump mismanaged the convention budget. Wasted most of it on contracts in two different cities, and then moved the major parts to the White House. So, he could put the costs on the American people.
Probably had little choice. After committing the donors' money to different cities that couldn't provide what he wanted, the donors were feed up with his bungling. No more money. Take it to the White House and do it on the cheap, except for the parts that he can hang on the public.

(15,238 posts)I attended a class seminar where Wechsler IQ test results of various rapists, serial killers, including a pyro maniac were reviewed. Although an IQ test does not predict who they are you do find specific answers that are predictable given what they have done. The purpose of the review was to illustrate how truly different some people think. I have no doubt if Trump were ever tested his results would be unique and alarming.

(15,238 posts)By that time he was burning Freds fortune at a blinding pace. The entire Trump family illustrates what happens when you allow crooks to run amok. NBC shares some of the blame they hyped this drug snorting bundle of failure as a financial genius. He could well push the button as he sees his life crumble. Donald Trump is living proof laws need to be enforced and written.

(3,635 posts)Trump is a corny-ass clown who only appeals to those who have no taste, style or intelligence - ie, his base.
Alot of what drives Trump's 'revenge on the libs' attitude is that he was a wannabe celeb for many years, craving acceptance by the talented/smart/rich people - who basically viewed him as a laughingstock.
