(26,081 posts)He has zero redeeming qualities. I used to say every cloud had a silver lining somewhere - not him. He is all rage and thunder and lightning for others and for himself puffy clouds of utter laziness and self serving lies. There is nothing else in his world besides rage and hurting others while always helping himself above all other considerations. In fact, he has zero considerations, other than pleasing himself, and he is so small and twisted hurting others makes him happy.

(5,870 posts)Unfortunately, there is a wide segment of the uninformed in our population, that took him on his pitch.
They hate Ds so badly for whatever reason, and will vote for anything but a D. Their hatred of Hillary and Obama was ferocious.
He got in because of a hatred for Ds, and its still out there.

(2,193 posts)About as far off the mark as you can get. Not exactly a great testament to the veracity and reliability of evangelical teachings, is it? Oh yeah - they're the modern Whores of Babylon for their "pro-life" judges, who sold their souls to the guy who let 200K people die of COVID on his watch!

(5,914 posts)That they purport to know so much about, and that they seem to feel justifies all of their already established hatred and prejudices.

And I'm not just talking about Canada, the U.S. and Mexico. This goes all the way to the southern border of Panama.
Yet, 35-40% will still vote for his skanky, evil ass.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_triad
In psychology, the dark triad comprises the personality traits of narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy.[1][2][3][4] They are called "dark" because of their malevolent qualities.[5][1][6][7]
Research on the dark triad is used in applied psychology, especially within the fields of law enforcement, clinical psychology, and business management. People scoring high on these traits are more likely to commit crimes, cause social distress and create severe problems for an organization, especially if they are in leadership positions (for more information, see psychopathy, narcissism, and Machiavellianism in the workplace). They also tend to be less compassionate, agreeable, empathetic, satisfied with their lives, and less likely to believe they and others are good.[8]
All three dark triad traits are conceptually distinct although empirical evidence shows them to be overlapping. They are associated with a callous-manipulative interpersonal style.[9]
Narcissism is characterized by grandiosity, pride, egotism, and a lack of empathy.[10]
Machiavellianism is characterized by manipulation and exploitation of others, an absence of morality, unemotional callousness, and a higher level of self interest.[11]
Psychopathy is characterized by continuous antisocial behavior, impulsivity, selfishness, callous and unemotional traits (CU),[12] and remorselessness.[13]
A factor analysis found that among the big five personality traits, low agreeableness is the strongest correlate of the dark triad, while neuroticism and a lack of conscientiousness were associated with some of the dark triad members.[11] Agreeableness and the dark triad show correlated change over development.[14]

(20,591 posts)...who'd destroy the country we all live in and love, just to enrich himself and his white trash with cash family.
I sincerely hope the facade of Donald Trump as a businessman, real estate developer, and person of importance is completely destroyed. I want to see the Trump name enshrined in the Shit-Heel Hall of Fame, and to see him and his family reduced to penniless paupers who'll actually have to work for a living for the first time in their lives. They deserve nothing less.
