In reply to the discussion: ****Thread for shrieking out loud about this shitshow of a presser*** [View all]William Seger
(12,545 posts)30. Here's my latest rant as a comment on a right-wing YouTube video
Well, I watched the whole thing, and Donald Trump is still an obnoxiously self-obsessed malignant narcissist, pathological liar, racist bigot, misogynist, insurrectionist, fascist demagogue, twice impeached, four times indicted convicted felon and unregistered sex offender with a well-documented history of lying and cheating his way through every aspect of his life, who should be in jail right now. He cheated his way into college and out of the draft; he cheated contractors in his businesses; he cheated on his taxes, loan applications, and business records; he cheated the people who signed up for his fake university and who contributed to his fake charity; he cheated on all three of his wives; and he even cheats at golf. He failed at business after business but walked away with money while all his investors got screwed. His credit got so bad, he had to go to Russia for loans, and we know what that led to. But he finally succeeded as a game show host, with the laughable premise that he was a business genius -- one of the original reasons that "reality TV" should always be put in quotes. Then he went into politics, originally as a marketing strategy, where he has firmly established himself as the most prolific and blatant liar that American politics has ever seen, by at least an order of magnitude. At the end of his first administration, he tried every cheat and told every lie he could think of to avoid facing the narcissistic ego injury of losing. This time around, he has also disgraced the nation with sleazy and cheesy merchandising -- apparently any sort of over-priced crap that will pay him big royalties. Re-electing Trump is the biggest disgrace this country has ever suffered, and make no mistake: We know it's because of the narrow-minded, short-sighted, self-centered, hypocritical, willfully ignorant, callous and mean-spirited reactionaries who voted for him. Like all fascist demagogues, his rhetoric was aimed directly at their fears, prejudices, and resentment. He treats his cult like they are stupid, and there's only one conclusion that I can draw from his success at that.
It's actually an evolving copy-and-paste rant that I've been developing whilst doing some therapeutic venting on right-wing YouTube. If anyone can think of stuff I left out, please let me know.

Let him rant and ramble. Lots of lines that can be used against him in the future or a sanity hearing.
