Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

He knows perfectly well why.
He’s gaslighting so the people who hate him hate him louder, which he can then use as validation that they’re crazy or irrational.
It’s fucking disgusting and obvious as hell. He deserves all of the shit thrown at him and he knows it but doesn’t care because he doesn’t have to face any real consequences for it, so he escalates.
Everyone’s anger is his weapon against them, sadly because his supporters are dumb enough to go with it. He needs tangible consequences or else this will just keep getting worse.

Well, not everyone is a Tesla shareholder that he can abuse constantly.
Far out, I despise this idiot so, so much.
It still surprises me someone with that complete of a lack of self awareness manages to get dressed without injuring themselves.
I kinda assumed it was more of a Prince of New York scenario, really.
i have no reason to believe he puts on his own clothes and doesn't have an assistant to do that for him
Maybe he doesn't know because he refuses to listen to anyone who criticizes him, banning them on Twitter and calling them paid actors in public events.
Why doesn't anybody like me? I don't understand.
Guess I'll have to crawl inside, and I don't know why
I'm sitting by myself, when the problem isn't mine
If his critical thinking is proportional to the way he talks (and I'm not referring to his accent), it makes sense that he doesn't have any clue on the reason why
This dude has the whole collection of type B personality disorders
Checks cluster b list
antisocial PD, borderline PD, histrionic PD, narcissistic PD
math checks out
He also ticks the boxes for the dark tetrad.

I believe him, and sadly we cant fix his brain.
You can with a gun.
No need. Just lock him in a tesla long enough.
Well that escalated quickly...
He could be a modern day Phineas Gage.
Oh great suddenly he's grumpy.
That makes it so much more fun to hate his guts.
Cry about it you fuckhead.
He acts like an absolute ass and expects people to like him. He really is a moron and I've known that for years. I could see through all his bullshit while rest of the world was still cheering his "brilliance".
I wonder if that's actually true, because I think that he is to some extent literally psychotic. What happens when someone who actually has enormous wealth and power still goes through manic phases or experiences something like grandiose delusions? He might really believe that he's saving the nation and the world, and that this should be obvious to all.
It's like those movies (I can't remember which ones but I'm sure I've seen some) where the king thinks of himself as good and is genuinely surprised and confused when he learns that the common people feel oppressed by him. Except in this case the king does not (and probably can not) learn a heartwarming moral lesson.
