The Donald Trump Score Card

It's understandable why so many lawyers have turned down helping Trump with the Mueller case. Trump is like a prosecutor prosecuting himself.

Trump: Cohen represents him in 'crazy Stormy Daniels deal'

excerpt:

"Prosecutors in New York quickly claimed Trump's early-morning comments buttress their arguments that not much of the material that the FBI seized from Cohen's home, office and hotel should be protected by attorney-client privilege. Within two hours of Trump's interview, the prosecutors submitted papers in court citing Trump's comments.

Trump's remarks prompted fresh questions about his relationship with Cohen in the tangle of legal dealings involving the president, his legal fixer and the porn star. And they served as just the latest demonstration of the potential legal risks for Trump when he makes off-the-cuff statements about the case in interviews and on Twitter."

 

US SENATE: 1 TRUMP: 0

Finally the US Senate has decided to do The Right Thing by Advancing The Mueller Bill protecting him from being fired by the Acting A.G.

A vote from the full Senate is expected to pass

 

Mueller... Mueller... Muellerrrrrrr

 

Dr. Sam Vaknin said that Obama was a pathological narcissist.

excerpt:

"One must never underestimate the manipulative genius of pathological narcissists. They project such an imposing personality that it overwhelms those around them. Charmed by the charisma of the narcissist, people become like clay in his hands. They cheerfully do his bidding and delight to be at his service. The narcissist shapes the world around himself and reduces others in his own inverted image. He creates a cult of personality. His admirers become his co-dependents.

Narcissists have no interest in things that do not help them to reach their personal objective. They are focused on one thing alone and that is power. All other issues are meaningless to them and they do not want to waste their precious time on trivialities. Anything that does not help them is beneath them and do not deserve their attention.

If an issue raised in the Senate does not help Obama in one way or another, he has no interest in it. The “present” vote is a safe vote. No one can criticize him if things go wrong. Those issues are unworthy by their very nature because they are not about him.

Obama’s election as the first black president of the Harvard Law Review led to a contract and advance to write a book about race relations. The University of Chicago Law School provided him a lot longer than expected and at the end it evolved into, guess what? His own autobiography! Instead of writing a scholarly paper focusing on race relations, for which he had been paid, Obama could not resist writing about his most sublime self. He entitled the book Dreams from My Father. Not surprisingly, Adolph Hitler also wrote his own autobiography when he was still nobody. So did Stalin. For a narcissist no subject is as important as his own self. Why would he waste his precious time and genius writing about insignificant things when he can write about such an august being as himself? Narcissists are often callous and even ruthless. As the norm, they lack conscience. This is evident from Obama’s lack of interest in his own brother who lives on only one dollar per month. A man who lives in luxury, who takes a private jet to vacation in Hawaii, and who has raised nearly half a billion dollars for his campaign (something unprecedented in history) has no interest in the plight of his own brother. Why? Because, his brother cannot be used for his ascent to power. A narcissist cares for no one but himself. This election is like no other in the history of America. The issues are insignificant compared to what is at stake.

What can be more dangerous than having a man bereft of conscience, a serial liar, and one who cannot distinguish his fantasies from reality as the leader of the free world?

I hate to sound alarmist, but one is a fool if one is not alarmed. Many politicians are narcissists. They pose no threat to others… They are simply self serving and selfish. Obama evidences symptoms of pathological narcissism, which is different from the run-of-the-mill narcissism of a Richard Nixon or a Bill Clinton for example. To him reality and fantasy are intertwined. This is a mental health issue, not just a character flaw. Pathological narcissists are dangerous because they look normal and even intelligent. It is this disguise that makes them treacherous."

 

Dr. Vaknin has said that Trump is a malignant narcissist.


Trump White House: Just How Bad a Narcissist, Really? Sam Vaknin Relates

Trump White House: Just How Bad a Narcissist, Really? Sam Vaknin Relates

excerpt:

"Vaknin: Trump is so unfit to be president that I am not sure where to start. But here are a few issues that are likely to raise their collective ugly heads even in the first weeks of a Trump Presidency:

Trump regards himself as omniscient, an authority on anything and everything, from aesthetics to ethics. He, therefore, lacks intellectual curiosity and regards outside advice as both superfluous and injurious (because it implies that he is less than perfect). He is likely to surround himself with timid yes-men and sycophantic acolytes, and generate an impregnable echo chamber rather than a council of wise men and women.

Trump’s grasp of nuanced reality, weak as it already is, is likely to deteriorate further to the point of paranoid psychosis. Faced with opposition, however tenuous, he is likely to react by scapegoating and by inciting street or state violence against targeted groups. Trump is the state, so his enemies (anyone who as much as voices doubt or disagrees with him) is, by definition, an enemy of the state.

Owing to his self-perceived innate superiority, Trump regards himself as above and transcending laws made by lesser mortals. Laws are meant to trap and ensnare giants like him, to drag him down to the pedestrian level of mediocrity. He plays by the rules only when and if they accord with his predilections and self-interest.

Like all narcissists, Trump believes that he is universally loved, adored, and admired. He attributes this ostensible (and utterly delusional) blanket approbation to his effusive charm and irresistibility. He is firmly convinced that he can motivate people to transgress against their own moral convictions and to break the law, if necessary, just by the sheer force of his monumental personality. Trump idealizes and then rapidly devalues people, collectives, and institutions. Trump is in sempiternal flux: he is inconstant in his judgements, opinions, views, and fleeting attachments.

Trump is intellectually lazy, so he is a firm adherent of shortcuts and of “fake it till you make it.” It is a dangerous approach that led him to botch numerous business deals and inflict untold damage and suffering on thousands of people. [AW: e.g., bankrupt businesses, Trump University.]"

 

Dr. Vaknin made his figure of speech describing Trump's world as one of being in a court trial in May 2016. It was quite prophetic considering that Trump is now involved in two investigations that have put him in a real situation that Vaknin used as metaphor.


Vaknin:

"Trump’s quotidien [daily] existence is a Kafkaesque trial in which he stands accused of being a mere, average, not-too-bright mortal and is constantly found wanting and guilty as charged. His entire life is a desperate, last ditch attempt to prove wrong the prosecution in this never-ending courtroom drama."

 

Just heard the Fox and Friends Trump interview and like wow – this is going out to his base, and you wonder after that can his base still think this guy is sane let alone a good President?

If there was a poster rambling like that on the forum I’d be worried about them.

 

he could have sex with at least two women, while he has been married, and his base would not care.
christians=hypocrites

 

He is our most famous Stable Genius

 

Devin Nunez at The House has just reported that his bogus investigation has concluded and he has found no evidence of wrong doing by Trump. Can anyone spell cronyism?

 

Did you just cross party lines in a moment of candor?

 

No. I literally have no idea who Mueller is because its involved in a story that means NOTHING...

 

Stable is correct. If he had not been gifted millions of dollars --he'd be shoveling shit out of a stable. Or selling used Buicks in New Jersey.

This guy is as dumb as they come.

 

The left has a certain knack for calling others unintelligent.

 

Some Christians=hypocrites. I agree, Trump's base is a hard nut to crack. It consists of people who tend to be undereducated and think his deranged behavior is normal. They're conditioned to dismiss professional journalism as fake, and to rely instead on Fox, InfoWars, Breitbart, etc. And many of them are willing to overlook the personal deficiencies because they perceive tangible benefits from Trump: tax cuts for the rich, environmental deregulation, conservative judicial appointments, jobs, etc. Besides, they see nothing much that the Democrats are offering as an alternative They'll stick with Trump until the roof falls in on them, which I suspect may happen. At the moment, the economy seems to be doing well. Unemployment is at 4.1%--the lowest since 2000--but wage growth has been disappointing, with wages rising 2.6% over last year. The Dow is down about 2,000 points since the first month of Trump's reign; economic growth for the first quarter of this year is a lackluster 2.3%; the impact of the tariffs will fall disproportionately on Red States; the mounting deficit will probably be made up at the expense of social programs, etc. We've seen it happen in Republican Oklahoma and neighboring Kansas, but it takes awhile for people to catch on. By that time, the economy is wrecked and the Democrats have massive cleanup to do.

 

( to 7133) I calls ém as I sees em'. It's right there day after day after day.I don't get why he is admired. I just don't. Maybe you can point out that which is to be admired about him. I'm serious--let's hear it please.

 

He bangs porn stars and is rich as fuck

 

I see. Well , that certainly qualifies him to be president. Funny I didn't consider that.

 

I think Machinist may have been joking (I'll give him the benefit of the doubt). But I wouldn't be surprised if that's exactly what some of the blue collar male base is thinking, at least subconsciously: rich & virile. Some of Bill Clinton's fans probably thought the same way, including those who think of Hillary as a castrating pantsuit wearing bitch. Progressives tend to be rationalists, but most human behavior is governed by non-rational, primitive thoughts and urges. Trump's bluster and name calling seems juvenile to intelligent people, but to his base it's a sign of toughness and machismo. Nero, who had a similar base, was despised by the Roman aristocracy (and of course, by Christians), but remained popular even after his suicide to avoid punishment by the Senate. Many plebian fans thought he was still alive and would come back soon to make Rome great again!

 

They will stick with Trump even after the roof falls on him. The RWNJ news has already been planting the whole 'deep state' conspiracy into their heads, convincing them that Trump is merely a threat to the establishment, which is why they long to dispose of him. They believe that their treatment of him is unfair, that this is a non-issue, that the Democrats control the FBI, etc.

They will simply blame any economic catastrophe that results from Trump/GOP's ridiculous economic policies on Obama (who obviously planted the seeds of economic catastrophe), on whoever inherits Trump's mess (provided they are a Democrat, or if not, they will be a traitor to the GOP), or on any vaguely leftist policies that were implemented (if they are not left-seeming policies, they will be spun as such, provided they are failures).

I would wager that most of them still blame the 07/08 crash on Obama... or if they don't, they see the real problem as his solution, while the actual problem would have worked if the Democrats hadn't ruined it... or it was actually the Democrats in the Senate/House who were responsible, while the Republicans tried to warn them/save everyone. They aren't bright enough to understand anything and are too paranoid to trust anyone who does.

As long as FOX, Breitbart, Alex Jones, etc. exist, those people will hate the Democrats, hate progressives, hate liberals, hate everything and everyone that isn't on their side. When Trump goes, they will be furious... I am certain of it.
