Donald Trump - MAGAtwat news and discussion

[Santino]

Wow, condescending as ever.

Condescending is when you talk down to someone.

 

[xenon]

In fact, that he doesn’t look slick, isn’t Young hip whatever might be part of the appeal on a superficial level. He has charisma. It doesn’t matter though it’s about the forces he represents and will enable.

 

[Elpenor]

There is some. If you choose to ignore it to focus on having a meltdown because we laugh at the bastard, that's down to you.

“Having a meltdown” FFS

 

[Rompipalle]

No one gives a shit about time magazine. Like no one gave a shit in the 90s the noughties and so on. Come on man.

I’m not a man.

Time magazine has absolutely played its part in the way this discussion has gone over the past day or so, so there’s no point in dismissing its role now.

 

[kabbes]

I see no reason not to focus on his appearance because his personal vanity is irrevocably bound up with his behaviour, as I keep saying.

He is a malignant narcissist. He believes himself to be perfect in all ways and as such, he believes that everything he does is correct and therefore cannot be criticised.

It is as legitimate to criticise his personal vanity, as it is to criticise him for his lies and to criticise him about his dishonesty, his corruption and his cruelty to others. He expects to be placed on a pedestal and to be venerated and sadly, this is something with which the media has been willingly complicit.

You can use whatever you like to attack him. But make no mistake that there is collateral damage from this particular weapon

Charisma?

Relentless self-promotion and standing on a podium, boring the tits off everyone for two hours, whilst rambling a load of lies and of incoherent shite, is not charisma.

Which is why he lost in a landslide

aye same charisma as Farage, large parts of the population of america and the UK need a good fucking slap

He has no charisma for me. He's a charlatan. It's like the wizard behind the curtain. Seemingly all knowing and powerful, but an utter moron.

 

[kabbes]

We get it, you hate him. Hell, I hate him myself too. But so what?

Of course. Why does everyone do crap impressions of him? Why are his sound bites so repeatable even in parody? Again it’s not that important, it’s packaging. It is part of the story however.

He’s too bloody dense to realise that he’s a total laughing stock.

That is maybe. But denying the obvious is just self-defeating. Also see Boris Johnson. The fact none of us here would vote for any of these freaks is beside the point.

If you keep posting how much more you hate Trump than the rest of the forum, perhaps he will disappear?

Well that’s sorted then.

 

[Orang Utan]

OK then Plato, you start.

I come here mainly to read and learn. Not learning much recently from reading posts from lightweights think they’re doing politics by aping the sort of tired old shit that gets wheeled out on HIGNFY.
We really don’t need this level of inanity here as there’s so much of it elsewhere.
and can it with all this shallow ageist disablist schoolyard shit. If that’s all you can think of to attack Trump for, grow the fuck up and read something.

 

[Ax^]

the thing about trump is just the banality of the cunt.. it not like he sprouting anything new or abstract

the prick won because not only is america quite clearly racist it also hates women... fuckers deserve the next 4 years of Nero playing Golf whilst the project 2025
burn down the government safe guards

I wonder what will happen when all the right-wing political figures of the world have caused maximum damage in their individual spheres, do they then just embark on a tournament among themselves - slugging it out to see who can be the most obnoxious and who can wreak greatest havoc, in the ultimate campaign for global supremacy?

It might be a bit like like Highlander…

 

[Yossarian]

Who has criticised him for what he wears?

I agree with you, I was making an "Emperor's New Clothes" joke

You need to chill out.

So we're lightweights? Again with the insults, oh wise one .

Please point to where I've attacked anyone for their age or disability. I'm attacking an orange clown who wants to be a dictator, so wind your neck in.

As for telling me to read something, I do, frequently, so quit with the attempts at belittling.

You don’t seem to have read or learned much, going by your recent contributions.

Why not just accept that not everyone perceives things the same way that you do.

If you think I only criticise Trump for the reasons you have cited - which are bollocks anyway - then you have been reading selectively or not at all.

 

[Rompipalle]

Ah sorry, probably just read it too quickly and did not absorb your meaning.

 

[Humberto]

I think he does in the 'moves in high circles salesman' type of way. Fairly self-evident that he can sway people while not offering much of substance. Heck some people practically venerate him. Kind of what right wing populism hinges on. Charisma and personality.

… and lies. It’s usually all about lies.

That’s pretty much the only thing at which Trump excels.

 

[Orang Utan]

Yes. Lightweights.
“He’s a dictator. He’s orange. Ha ha. He’s got mad hair, the mad bastard. He’s a bad man. I hate him. He’s incontinent. Ha ha. He’s elderly. Haha.”
If that’s really all you’ve got to contribute on a poltics thread, then expect opprobrium.

 

[teuchter]

They are after all easily confused, both being of Scottish heritage with expertise in building and architecture, and hold extreme views about bathrooms

By the way, I would question Donald Trump's "expertise in building and architecture". Perhaps you can explain.

 

[Humberto]

Sure, often incoherent ones.

Did you watch the Rogan interview during the election campaign? Didn't seem to matter much. He's not a fool. A baddie? Yes.

No, I can’t bear to watch Trump any longer. I had hoped after Biden took office that we would never have to put up with constantly seeing that stupid lump of flob and hear any more of that relentless, self-pitying whining … but sadly, the media insisted on giving it a platform.

Just a few seconds of footage is almost more than I can tolerate. He makes my very flesh crawl.

 

[breadandcircuse]

Yes. Lightweights.

You really haven't been paying attention in your zeal to attack.

Get your facts straight and stop exaggerating. I do discuss politics, and in fact probably know more about Trump and what he has said or done than you, as you claim to come here to learn, and I do read up and watch lots of stuff on his administration. A few posts taking the piss out of his orangeness, and certain posters here go on the attack.

It really is pathetic, and again smacks of looking for something to go on the offensive with to those of us newbies daring to post on here.
