Why get mad when he is trash talked about?
And it’s not just him, the right when hearing anything they don’t like from the left scream you’re nothing but a hater, why is that?

Trump doesn’t realize that what is good for the goose is good for the gander. (Or, what pisses off the goose, pisses off the gander.) A variation of “Do as I say, not as I do.”

Because he’s a self centered, narcissistic idiot.

He only thinks of himself. He’s a spoiled toddler.

Because there is method to his madness. It’s called Assholeism.

Because he has to have the last word in the media.

In related news, drumpf just cancelled a nato press conference, because other world leaders made fun of him.
What a snowflake.

But it’s fine to mock a handicapped reporter,or degrade women,heck even sleeping with a porn star is OK,YUP he is the best.

He has a VERY fragile ego. And, like most wealthy people, is separated from reality.

SQUEEKY2's avatar

I don’t know the wealthy like him, mock the handicap, degrade women, and don’t pay your workers,what I don’t get is why the poor red necks like him.

@SQUEEKY2 One psychologist or psychiatrist said trump supporters see him as one who cares about America and as long as they see him as such, they will give him a pass no matter what deplorable, despicable, immoral and illegal thing he does.

@SQUEEKY Why should you understand redneck values since you’re a Canuck? Most here dont get it after years of explanation haha!

ragingloli's avatar

As if rednecks had values.

KNOWITALL's avatar

@ragingloli Worked in 2016, will work again in 2020. Hide and watch.

ragingloli's avatar

Oh, I know it will.
Having no values is what unites drumpf and his voters.

KNOWITALL's avatar

@ragingloli Just because you may not share those values (God, Country, Family) doesn’t mean they don’t exist but good try.

ragingloli's avatar

”(God, Country, Family)”
Obama shared all those ‘values’, so the rednecks should have loved him.

@ragingloli I didn’t mind him much, esp at first, and my husband and I both tried the ACA. I liked his honesty about the ACA (we ALL have to be on it to succeed), and he was honest when he retracted his campaign promise of no new boots on the ground in the Middle East.

When it came to his racism and apologist agenda overseas, he lost some of us, but I still don’t consider him a failure by any means. You may not get it, being in another country, but the ongoing racist/ anti-cop crap surged during his Presidency and that cut many moderates from the Dems.

@Jonsblond

But racism endured nonetheless, erupting violently once again in the killings of Trayvon Martin, Jordan Davis and the Emanuel Nine in Charleston and, more ominously, in the flurry of deaths of unarmed black citizens at the hands of mostly white police.

WTF was Obama supposed to do, pin metals on the cops that killed unarmed black people? It had to be addressed…

KNOWITALL's avatar

@MrGrimm888 Per the article above:

He refused to pity himself—but failed, as did so many of us, to read the anti-Obama signs and songs and social media outbursts as symptoms of the persistence of swirling racist currents in American society. He insisted on celebrating advancements for African-Americans like him, but in so doing delayed the acknowledgment of what was festering: a revived siege of race hate that would sweep the country. Obama’s racial optimism—some might say delusion, enhanced by musings in the mainstream that America had entered a post-racial era after his election—denied the president the motivation, the will, even the occasion, to address enduring racism.

MrGrimm888's avatar

I respect your opinion, but I don’t see it that way.

KNOWITALL's avatar

@MrGrimm888 Okay.

You and I both know the anti-cop sentiment went thru the roof during Obama’s term. I’m not saying there weren’t dirty racist cops, but not all of them are. You still have to show id, you still have to comply, regardless of color, race or creed. It got a little crazy for awhile.

A lot of people still believe that he was more about reverse racism rather than empowerment, too.

^Sis. I was a LEO, during the time. Charleston, has a majority black population. I had plenty of black guys, who wanted to start shit, over what was going on.

I understood though…

I felt/feel bad, for hurting them, when they would go after me. I try to put myself in their shoes. One of my guys(black dude,) had his cousin killed, in Columbia, while he was unarmed. His wife showed up. She recorded a black officer planting a gun, on the dead man. And the same officer later claimed that he shot the man. Nope. Turns out that a white cop shot him. The black officer tried to take the heat, so it wouldn’t be a dumpster fire. Forensic evidence, and the video from the guys wife, proved the case.

If black cops, were continuously shooting unarmed white people, how would you like Trump to respond?....
How would you respond, when you saw a black cop?
THINK…......

@MrGrimm Lawdy, lets not debate that again. Maybe I dont get it, I admit that. But I also agree with the article that Obama mishandled it a bit.

MrGrimm888's avatar

Again, I respect your opinion. I I just don’t agree with it.
