politics

Every time I flew back into the country and saw his stupid picture in the airport it made me cringe and say “oh fuck, that’s right, somehow Biff Tannen, from Back To The Future 2, is our President”

And they're on track to do it again.

To be fair, he lost the popular vote twice. It was only because of the electoral college he won. The people of the USA did not, as a majority, vote for him. The people who are supposed to represent our votes voted for him.

I live in New York City. Donnie was desperate to get famous since the 1980s. Back in the day, Wife #1, Ivana, was the star of the show and Donnie was the guy who carried her bags. He did everything to get his name in the local news every day, and was considered a joke by just about everyone. He lost his home town by 90% of the vote.

He's the embodiment of the American stereotype if you ask me. It makes complete sense.

And they are lining up to do it again. It's absolutely baffling to me but at least it's gotten a lot easier to identify idiots from a distance.

This was already stated by the first word of the title of this post.

LOL, people can’t decide if he’s an idiot or playing games. He’s neither. He’s a narcissist.

No. He's definitely an idiot too.

Narcissism is a spectrum. At the one end, you have people with low self esteem who look to getting reactions from others to feel better about themselves. At the other end, you have people with full on disassociation, that is, a lack of any sense of “self” at all, except from the reactions they get from others. It’s pretty clear Trump is pretty close to the pathological dissociative side of the spectrum.

The reactions narcissists get from others is called “supply”, and each narcissist looks for a specific flavor of supply that fills the void in their life, whether that’s a mild feeling of inadequacy or full fledged lack of self. Some supply is being loved. Some supply is being seen as a villain. Some supply is just being the center of attention. For Trump? It’s pretty clear that his supply is being seen as “successful”.

Narcissistic supply is an addictive drug to narcissists. It gives an instant high— a high of feeling “normal”— and also has instant lows. The moment supply is cut off, the narcissist’s mental dismay returns. Supply also has a problem of levels. A bigger dose of supply feels great, but it ALSO makes any additional supply that isn’t as strong as that one time feel like nothing.

Narcissists are junkies. They need their hit of supply, and will do literally anything to get it. And to get it as big as they’ve ever had it before.

While president, Trump got the biggest hit of supply the world has ever seen. Losing the presidency has lost him that supply… even the attention the news still gives him today isn’t anything like the supply of having the eyes of the entire world on him all the time.

As a junkie, he will do anything to get supply back. He would literally kill to do so. It might yet come to that.

This point really needs to be driven home constantly. Donald Trumps personality disorders are in control of every aspect of his life. He is incapable of self control.

And some people's vote for president is worth more than others.

Yeah.

Oooo beauuuutiful for spaaaacious skiiieeess....

If only we could permanently trap and isolate them in there.
