Todayâs GOP is absolutely nothing but a shitshow - â
Trump notwithstanding ⊠Everywhere you look ! â
The single most important and distinguishing characteristic of all successful con(fidence) men is an unshakeable, unwavering self-confidence. Itâs the ability to project that confidence even in the most untenable, ridiculous circumstances that bamboozles the marks, whose eagerness to believe makes them such easy prey.
âTrump Seems Unfazed: I Had Great Meetings With Republicans!â
Heâs like a real-life Elliot Carlin.
A narcissistic, sociopathic real-estate developer.
With a crippling need for adulation, and a toupee complex.
Plus, heâs nuts!
Life imitates art.
" Just leaving D.C. Had great meetings with Republicans in the House and Senate. Very interesting day! These are people who love our country!"
Sociopaths are always unfazed.
Great reference from a great show.
Trump is detached from reality.
The reality distortion field is strong with this one.
Trump arrives:
Virtually everything about Trump is ugly, ugly, ugly.
And we thought Romney was bad???
Encapsulates so much of what this man does in the con game. The only things I can add are (a) the concept of PRACTICE. Trump has been at this a very very very very long time. (b) Moreover, he has the temperament, amorality and talent to do it.
© I also believe without question that Republican primary voters were his easiest con in his entire life. And, by far, the most uninhibited FUN. Second easiest: a tie between the MSM and his current supporters (both professional politicians and voters)
Had great meetings with Republicans in the House and Senate. Very interesting day! These are people who love our country!
That statement isnât called âunfazedâ, itâs called âlyingâ, though I imagine it might have been interesting to a very small number.
Lying in a conscious way? I mean, do you think he experiences himself as lying?
I am not so sure. I see him as an actor who gets swallowed up by his roll. In this regard he reminds me of Reagan.
The single most important and distinguishing characteristic of all successful con(fidence) men is an unshakeable, unwavering self-confidence.
Also the characteristic of a psychopath.
Sooooooooooo tRump doesnât know how many Articles there are in the Constitution⊠but he DOES know the names of every GOP senator who HASNâT kissed his âring.â
This can only go well.
Those of us old enough to remember Dan Aykroydâs SNL character âIrwin Mainwayâ, will no doubt see the parallels with TrumpâŠboth are selling a âBag of Glassâ to children who will buy it.
