This picture says “Some guy is sick, four compassionate people are helping him, and one malignant narcissist with dementia has put his brain on pause until the event that isn’t about him and that doesn’t interest him is over, and everybody’s attention returns to him.”
The crazy thing is, most narcissists would be kneeling down next to him, screaming for help and going “it’s going to be ok buddy, I’ve got you”. It’s such an easy moment to take control of
His brain is just cooked. He’s grumpy because he got woken up and it’s not time for him to talk. He looks pissed
I genuinely have no idea how this guy managed to convince so many trumpanzees to vote for him. Like Nancy Pelosi correctly said, he’s a vile creature: even if you somehow agree with his policies, he’s clearly a terminally nasty and mean misanthrope, and someone nobody with any penchant for nice human contacts wants to spend any time around of. I completely fail to fathom how such a repulsive human being can have such charisma.
But that’s my point: the only emotion Trump elicits in me is nausea and repulsion. And it’s not even a political assessment: he’s simply not a pleasant human being. Why people vote for unpleasant human beings, or find unpleasant human beings somehow appealing, is utterly baffling to me…
I’d place a good chunk of the reason on right wing propaganda channels. When you see stupid or repulsive behavior but then immediately have a talking head to rationalize it away you get a very dangerous alternate reality effect.

Compassionate and capable. Trump is anything but capable.

it’s incredible what people do when they think with emotion and not logic
