I think when Trump finally reveals his narcissistic insanity in full display

on live TV, the American people will....


Wait! I'm sorry, he does that every day and a good part of America, most of the News Media and all of Corporate America don't blink an eye.

MSNBC was widely criticized at one time for allowing him to have so much air time when he was just babbling on, so they started interrupting him and calling out his lies or simply turning him off. I truly do not know what the right amount of crazy is.

If he became angry and bashed someone over the head with a gold knickknack during an Oval Office meeting? If he took off all his clothes and danced around on stage? Corporate media must have a bright line Trump cannot cross, but I don't know what it would be.

Were bored with white mens sexual abilities, or efforts.
Imagine your wife horny for that slab of fat back, knowing his lack of packed meat. 🍄‍🟫 🍄.
That would make you as proud of your manliness as Jesse Waters.

…. above the fireplace in the Oval Office. That marble or white granite is exquisite it didn’t
need anything else and did they drill into it to mount that crap? And every time we see a new
imagine from Trump’s office of insecure insanity he has added more tacky crap. Talk about
crazy I think the trophies on the mantel are from golf tournaments that he "won" @ one of his
golf courses in his quest of narcism.

It's because over the years he has normalized his behaviour so now they just think it's him being him. It also gives them viewers on both sides of the aisle. The MAGA crowd cheers and the rest of us get upset and no matter what side most people tune in for the show.

the "MSM" report something along the lines of, "Our great President Donald J. Trump was perfectly rational today for the ***th day in a row, extending his record for perfection among all other presidents "



What news do you people watch and read, anyway?

Every day in LBN, there're several stories about the latest insane shit he's pulled, much of which comes from the AP, Reuters, the New York Times, the Big Three networks... but many of you blame and castigate them for "ignoring" it or being "in denial." The worst of you say the "MSM" is working for him.

Talk about "TDS."

Okay, commence flaming. I stand by my observations.

Danish author Hans Christian Anderson published the third in his series of "Fairy Tales Told for Children." Perhaps it fits much better than OJ's glove here ..... "The Emperor Has No Clothes."

he is not all there.

Barron Trump has the same distant, 'I'm confused, this world is so complicated, I can't cope!' look.

Won't say what is in Melania's eyes, too much 'work' done.

The eyes of the GOP creatures though - pure greed!
