Seriously, what's with the slurring, grinning and "I could care less" attitude?

[senseandsensibility]

I can't watch or listen to him but I've seen the quotes on bluesky and the analysis from those I trust, like Aaron Rupar. Apparently, he was slurring and smiling and said "that's just the way it is. There will likely be more" about American Soldiers dying.

Democrats need to be speaking out everywhere to anyone online, on cable news, on their own social media about this NOW. It's disgusting.

1. Trying to figure out toxic narcissists is a fool's errand

It can't be done. And they can't be fixed.

[ShazzieB]

22. Especially when the narcissist is also a psychopath.

Having nor morals, no ethics, and a complete lack of empathy makes it easy to regard the deaths of others as being of no consequence whatsoever.

[unblock]

2. He's so incompetent at everything, he can't even fake empathy.

[senseandsensibility]

3. And there's no one around him to even suggest

that he try.

[Cirsium]

4. Horrific

Sunning, really.

[senseandsensibility]

8. Yes, but I just heard Seth Moulton doing what I urged in the OP

on MSNOW. He called trump's comments "callous" and went through a litany of trump's history of disrespecting the troops. I would like to hear more though.

[tanyev]

5. Because he doesn't care and he thinks he's untouchable.

In order to blend in and sound like normal people, sociopaths have to a) want to blend in and b) be intelligent and observant enough to figure out how.

[underpants]

6. Well, they signed up for it (those suckers and losers)

Something literally no one in his family has ever done. Ever. His grandfather got booted out of Germany for refusing to serve.

[sop]

7. The realization he can start wars, bomb foreign countries into rubble, kidnap and kill heads of state, and no one

can do a fucking thing to stop him makes Trump absolutely giddy.

[Alice Kramden]

10. Truth

[Justice matters.]

15. And kill Renee Good, Alex Pretti, and many, many others.

And not give a f.

[PatSeg]

31. After all these years,

finally all his perverse dreams have come true - unlimited power. Of course, it is pretty hard to top all the crap he's done, so I expect him to act even more outrageous as if tempting fate to stop him.

[Arazi]

9. He sounded bored. And openly contemptuous

[senseandsensibility]

11. That was my impression of the small part I heard as well

Just unbelievably callous and unfeeling, as well as patronizing. And that's even considering who this is and what he has done before. Even by his standards, I find it hard to believe that anyone could cheer this on.

[LymphocyteLover]

12. Impeach the motherfucker already

[calimary]

32. Impeach AND REMOVE.

Only problem with that is, his VP would automatically be elevated to the Presidency and would be able to enjoy all the perks and privileges of the highest office in the land.

[niyad]

34. Remember that krasnov is the bright, shiny distraction. eyeliner guy

and naziferatu, etc., are already running things. krasnov is too lazy to actually. .you know. . work!

[LymphocyteLover]

39. still, tRUMp is the devil and he has more control over the MAGA network of evil than Vance does

[LymphocyteLover]

13. brings new urgency to "is he dead yet?"

[Escape]

14. Trump is now on course...

to become the most evil person in world history.

We all look forward to his imminent earthly departure, but if he is cognizant of the circumstances at the time, he will do everything in his power to take us all with him.

I will still hate Republicans when I'm dead.

[Maru Kitteh]

18. "I will still hate republicans when I'm dead." yes.

My disassembled atoms will vibrate with loathing for these bastards.

[paleotn]

20. That's one hell of a bar. But I think he'll clear it.

[dalton99a]

16. "I am king of the world with power over life and death and I don't give a shit"

[Joinfortmill]

17. I'm with you

[paleotn]

19. He's entered the death spiral.

His own hopefully.

[CaptainTruth]

21. He's vile, disgusting, & evil.

One of only a handful of people I would describe as evil.

[bmichaelh]

23. Trump's agenda

Trump is a psychopath. See checklist below.
Trump has an agenda. He does not care how many people die to serve that agenda.
Take agenda of tariffs; agenda of destroying ACA; regime change in Iran, etc.

How many American businesses has he destroyed with his tariffs.
How many Americans have lost their health insurance due to Senate failing to pay for subsidies; Trump is threatening to veto.
How many American soldiers will die in Iran? How many civilians?

In his SOTU, he falsely claimed that their is a revival in this country.
Actually, the reverse is true.
To quote from Shakespeare:

GLOUCESTER
Name not religion, for thou lov'st the flesh,
And ne'er throughout the year to church thou goes
Except it be to pray against thy foes.
--Shakespeare, 1 Henry VI 1.1.41-43

Checklist:
Item 1: Glibness/superficial charm
Item 2: Grandiose sense of self-worth

Item 20: Criminal versatility

[niyad]

35. Number 1 on that list is something I do not understand. There is NOTHING

glib or charming about him.

[WarGamer]

24. I've always been curious... why do people look for analysis from people like Rupar...

Instead of just watching the original videos and watching and listening for themselves?

[Intractable]

25. The phrase you want is actually, "I couldn't care less,"

meaning it is not possible to have less concern.

[Skittles]

29. it's a losing battle I tell you

and the word CAUSE is replacing BECAUSE.....WTF

[Intractable]

30. The best we can do is gently correct them, and then we must let go of it.

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

I may be an atheist, but I love that serenity prayer.

[Skittles]

37. I'm agnostic, DO UNTO OTHERS always made sense to me too

[Ilikepurple]

38. "Could care less" is regrettably an acceptable idiom for I don't care much about it

I prefer “couldn’t care less” because it makes more sense if you hadn’t heard the idiom before. I’m not a fan ant all, but I don’t make the rules in this language game. We can fight it, but I think the ship’s sailed on this idiom. Idioms are established by usage not strictly by their component words. I believe in American English both ways are somewhat equally common and have been for decades. Neither means it’s not possible to care less in common usage any more than “I love spaghetti” denotes a willingness to marry it.

[senseandsensibility]

43. Thanks for at least partly understanding my use of the term

I agree that I could care less is not descriptive and doesn't literally mean what it purports to mean. It is incorrect in that way. I don't use it myself, normally, and have noticed and disapproved when others do. I draw the line at correcting them, however. Their meaning is clear enough. In this case, as usual when discussing trump, I was being sarcastic and tongue in cheek. I was also angry. So when I put those words in quotation marks in the title it was meant to convey his attitude and how he would say it. But I can see that that may not have been clear.

[niyad]

26. King Farquhar's speech in "Shrek" was apparently posted on facebook

yesterday. A friend shared the clip with me (can't link to it). He says something like, "Some of you will die. That's a sacrifice I'm willing to make."

EDIT

Symptoms of the disease first appear from 10 to 30 years after infection. Incipient GPI is usually manifested by neurasthenic difficulties, such as fatigue, headaches, insomnia, dizziness, etc. As the disease progresses, mental deterioration and personality changes occur. Typical symptoms include loss of social inhibitions, asocial behavior, gradual impairment of judgment, concentration and short-term memory difficulties, euphoria, mania, depression, or apathy. Subtle shivering, minor defects in speech and Argyll Robertson pupil may become noticeable.

Delusions, common as the illness progresses, tend to be poorly systematized and absurd. They can be grandiose, melancholic, or paranoid. These delusions include ideas of great wealth, immortality, thousands of lovers, unfathomable power, apocalypsis, nihilism, self-guilt, self-blame, or bizarre hypochondriacal complaints. Later, the patient experiences dysarthria, intention tremors, hyperreflexia, myoclonic jerks, confusion, seizures and severe muscular deterioration. Eventually, the paretic dies bedridden, cachectic and completely disoriented, frequently in a state of status epilepticus.

36. Iinteresting article. One thing stuck me as curious. The article said that

the condition is more common in men, and yet it showed a picture of a woman apparently experiencing the condition.

[Skittles]

28. these fascist fucks carried on about Benghazi for what, over a decade?

now the loss of American lives is "no big deal"

[hamsterjill]

33. Most definitely Dems need to be speaking out and insisting that the media run the clip of him slurring and smiling

As they comment on it.

The SOB has probably been partying all weekend - he may have been drinking (yes, I know he says he doesn't, but he's been known to lie about things), doing drugs and who knows WHAT ELSE is happening behind those walls.

[usonian]

41. Someone in the media should be asking which military operation will Baron be signing up for.

But i can guess that particular rich men’s sons never feel the need to fight in a war their dad started.

42. trump horribly pronounces Iran's former Supreme Leader's name saying Ayatollah "Ha-may-NAYYYY is DEAD."
