tRump has once again shown the world how a rapist would act

Minnesota and Greenland have both politely asked him to "back off" several times, and yet he forces himself on them harder.

Once again, he has revealed his true identity. A cowardly, disgusting man who needs a hired goon squad to restrain and zip tie his victims so he can proceed to rape them.

The exact same kind of "man" who would protect a wealthy pedophile and zip tie & punish the victim.

2. This Isn't New Behavior For Tr**p.....

It's how he's always conducted his life and businesses.

Many Americans were taken by this guy because he told them he wanted to be president so he could run this country like a business.

Well folks - we are there!!!

What he's doing now - should give us a clue as to how he's conducted his businesses (you know all those businesses that he bankrupted and failed at).

It should also give us a clue as to his tactics (that of a mafia Don). It should also give us a peek at what will happen to our country - if he is not controlled soon.

I don't think we ever got his taxes (that he said were being audited) and if those were closely inspected - I'm almost sure we'd find a bunch of illegal activities being employed in filing them and he's resorted to using the same tactics when dealing with our allies. Bottom line - now he's resorted to using Blackmail.

Something has got to be done. I'm tired of all the talking heads answering the same questions - all coming up with the same obvious solutions - that no one is employing to prevent this stripping of our Democracy now.

We're just blowing out our lungs - with no solutions in sight.

Sorry - I just needed to vent!!!

... was never intended to be run like a business! It is not a profit center, its purpose is to be of service to its people. The corporatists and oligarchs conveniently omit that fact. But then, they are greedy assholes with the moral compasses of rabid hyenas. They are financing the destruction of America so they can rule over the ashes. Fuck 'em all with a red-hot crowbar.

that's exactly how he's running this country now - like a business. It's the same tactics he used all his lifetime - because that's all he knows.

He makes all the decisions and what he says goes. It's how he's dealt with his kids (Jr, Eric, Ivanka). It's how he ran Tr**p Inc. How he dealt with his vendors, workmen, partners, customers, etc

He's treating these countries like he treated his business associates and minions.

I want a ballroom. Destroy the East Wing of the WH and build on. Screw the cost. I ain't gonna pay it anyway. He's the only one that can decorate the Oval Office. I like gold. Go ahead and attach it to the walls. He doesn't like someone - have his henchmen make threats. Blackmail them. Sue them fantastic amounts of money to tie them up or to bend to his ways.

That's Tr**p in a nutshell. That's Tr**p the nut. Make a fuss like a baby. Scream and yell and make the other people back down.

That's what we are dealing with now.

... and Republicans have always wanted to run America like a business. But, under Trump, it's run like a cheesy five and dime, with pickpockets and shysters lying through their teeth to the all-too-willing-to-swallow-bullshit rubes who revel in the outrageous. Until they are the victims, then it's all Biden's fault.

"I moved on them like a b*tch but I couldn't get there."

Of course, he is still trying. He just cannot take "no" for an answer as many women can testify.

personal power to compensate for an empty soul.

Cruelty is also about power, as is grifting, lying and getting away with it, breaking norms, withholding aid, killing millions, causing violence, kicking decent people to the curb, investigating opponents, cheating at golf, grabbing women, trading women like playing crds, bragging without end, whining without end about always being the victim, making people smarter/wiser than you bend the knee, installing loyal incompetents in positions of power, dropping bombs.

On top of being narcissistic and power hungry, he's also sadistic and derives great pleasure from making people suffer.

He's an empty, hollow, black hole of a human who tries to fill his emptiness by bullying, dominating, and abusing others. Unfortunatelyfor all of us, it never works for very long, and he always needs another fix. And another, and another.
