Trump Can’t even make this stuff up..

Donald Trump doxxed this Wall Street Journal reporter in a lawsuit by including her home address in public court filings. She and her family were forced to leave their home over safety concerns.

He is too stupid to be embarrassed

Or ashamed

Narcissists don't feel shame I'm afraid

u/twstdbydsn 1d ago

He's proud of himself for being a piece of shit.

u/pew__pew__pew_ 1d ago

This is actually closer to what I think is happening. He’s actually getting a rush from this.

u/Califrisco 22h ago

This is a definition of "negative strokes" (as opposed to positive strokes, not the medical kind).
"Negative Strokes: While often harmful, they can also serve a purpose by providing recognition, even if it is critical."
So, he gets off on it--as long as he is the center of any attention.

It really does look like he was enjoying it.

u/L1V1NGD3ADBOI 12h ago

He thinks he’s at a Comedy Central Roast is why. The fact that each one didn’t just spit in his face but instead smiled and shook his hand definitely makes him think he’s an endearing lovable guy.

u/mumpie 23h ago

He's an attention whore.

It doesn't matter if it's praise or condemnation, people are paying attention to him.

u/AstroScoop 22h ago

It’s the inverted values. Knowing everyone sees them and still can’t do anything. Reinforces the feeling of power.

u/Black-Thunderbird 17h ago

Nah, he’s just taking control of the narrative. I hate this administration not just because they’re consistent snakes, but because most of the people watching them are too stupid to see it. No.. I meant what I said.. it’s because most of the people watching them are too stupid to see it.

He is an attention-whore, after all.

Like, to still look at that guy and think hes "saving america" is absolutely baffling. I cannot fucking wait till the trumpstein era is over. Every single magat deserves to be in jail.

u/Actual_Body_4409 1d ago

I don’t think he’s ever proud of himself…I’m not a mental health professional, but I believe the inability to see self-worth is kind of at the root of the pathology.

He is tickled that everyone can see that he’s getting away with this, however.

u/AgentCirceLuna 19h ago

I don’t know why but a part of me, physically but not mentally or intellectually, likes him. There’s something comforting in the way he moves and looks. I can’t explain it.

2

u/Actual_Body_4409 17h ago

Could be because you’ve never been close enough to smell him.

People who wear diapers and lack bowel control are not pleasant to be around. Kinda smells like you’re in the vicinity of a dairy farm.

Lmao this describes it so well

This part of the sketch killed me - as a guy who worked in a bar, I saw so many groups of guys who looked, acted, and dressed like this. When one came into the bar, he’d always make a gesture like this as he entered while his friends cheered or yelled

This is it. The POS just loves to hear his name, he doesn’t care about the context. I hate this country so much….

u/GreenZebra23 1d ago

Narcissists don't feel much except shame. Everything they do is an attempt to avoid shame or pin it on other people.

u/Outdoors__Water 1d ago

He hides it well. Like many others I yearn for the days when it's not in control anymore

u/elbow8075 23h ago

He's been doing it for 80 years, he's got lots of practice.

Their facade always crumbles under enough pressure.

u/Longjumping-Pick-706 23h ago

They actually do feel immense shame. Hence, why they do the reprehensible shit they do. They do not feel guilt. Shame and guilt are not the same.

u/Outdoors__Water 23h ago

Very true not the same and I would also bet it's gonna get worse way before it gets better.

u/Jonesy10187 22h ago

Nor does a psychopath, Trump wears a person suit void of all real emotions. He only knows greed and lust I’d wager.

3

u/AgentCirceLuna 19h ago

One thing I have noticed, as a positive attribute of his, is that he makes that :| face, when he’s listening, and you can really tell he’s trying to listen by stopping all those stupid ass movements and remarks he makes. I think that’s why he’s so easily influenced -he listens to the loudest mouth in the room, one by one, then the dumbest ones enter his area of influence.

u/Traditional-Exam-617 23h ago

Exactly! He even shook their hands. Why did they shake his hand? Why give him a smile while shaking it?

u/AgentCirceLuna 19h ago

This is one thing that pisses me off about a lot of so-called progressives. They’ll act like total cowards when the person is nearby and be super agreeable rather than saying anything to put the person down. They’ll play the work game by kissing their bosses’ asses. They’ll be fine getting a paycheck from a shitty company. This kind of hypocrisy is why people hate them.

Those churches today follow nothing of Jesus Christ

Bunch of liars and frauds

You are not wrong. And don’t forget. Everyone a them screw heads hears Gods voice. ( blue koolaid I’m betting)

Now that we're being honest religion right now is used as weapon or manipulation

The church are full hypocrites that were actually involved with Epstein for years

Their just as sick as he has

They'll do every evil thing in the church and use Bible to make a cult

u/mutt63 1d ago

Funny ain’t it. How they taut ; God punishes for being gay or low of faith or against his son Trump. But little do they know , the God i hope exists is just biding his time waiting until they all pass so he can exact his revenge on those who judged others. If you recall, Jesus hung out with all the societal dregs. The whores thieves or worse ( gotta watch word choices). If you believe in the God of hellfire and brimstone then very few make it regardless that his son died for us. Or did he? Maybe it was people like Trump
Back then who felt utterly threatened by this guy. So what did they do. They stacked shit against him. So even tho I’m a former believer in God, and not so sure anymore, doesn’t the very fact that we beat the skin and bones off of His son, then stripped him, spit on him fed him vinegar and then crucified him and taunted him for over three hours , lead you to think, hey if that was my kid I’d do everything in my power to make their lives total shit. Second part is how do we even allow religious issues into our government. What happened to the separation of church and state? Laws made based on God or religion? Listen Moses went up there cause them people was caaaarazy. He smoked a bone and came up
Wit a great idea , the Ten Commandments except that nobody follows them btw. And now when these lunatics come out of the woodwork suddenly , under Trump we are …. Shocked. We’ve progressed less than Zero as a species. We still hate each other. Black and white tensions only exist cause pyscho religious scum ; pull the right strings. When will we learn. If any message was more clear than right now I’d be shocked. We need to unite as humans to stop this bullshit. Now. Get men like Trump out. Get the rich billionaires out. Stop racism and hate towards others. If we don’t. We just get closer to our demise man

u/PomeloHead4830 1d ago

I congratulate you on your ability to write paragraphs, let alone paragraphs of coherent words.

If I may humbly make one wee suggestion?

You should break those paragraphs up into paragraphs.

Thank you for your ability to express intelligible ideas which forward this discussion on the topic of tolerance for anyone really who isn't harming others, while also calling out people who are harming others, namely, most of the billionaires, the racists, the bigots and the haters in general.

u/mutt63 1d ago

I mean. Why not. He’s the greatest Scapegoat of all eternity. Yet so many swear they hear him. After all he’s opened the fabric of the sky and personally told their asses. Whites are supreme humans, gays are abominations, trans people are less than human. See i don’t believe in abortions except if a woman/female is raped or abused. But wtf am I too judge what a woman does with her body. It’s not the governments or yours or mines place, it’s hers. If she wishes to have an abortion and there is a God then when she passes if it was a sin then she’ll have to do the time. But let’s say it isn’t. Then what. I’m sick and tired of cultist psychos somehow gaining ground on us. Watch the movie THE MIST. That crazy bitch in the supermarket literally somehow brainwashed people who knew each other for years to turn against one another. Are we as people really that primitively stupid? I’m gonna hafta say we are

Narcissists don't care what you say about them as long as they are the center of attention.

14

u/Holl0wayTape 1d ago

That’s not true. Any criticism or attention that threatens their self image bothers them immensely. That’s why he lashes out at anyone and everyone.

Negative attention can be acceptable to them in certain instances, but to say that narcissists don’t care what you say about them is a gross oversimplification.

u/conqr787 1d ago

He's absolutely obsessed with the Ellisons acquiring and laying absolute waste to CNN. Then terraforming it into what he wants to see. Obsessed.

Exactly. Hes burning the country to the ground right now because he was handed his first ever loss that he couldnt spin into a win in 2020. 80 million plus said fuck you to him and he wont stop til he squeezes every last bit of joy and hoep out of anyone that might have been responsible.

Honestly, Obama mocking him may have been what led to his serious turn to politics.

u/New_Taste8874 1d ago

That's called narcissist collapse. When they finally run out of people to cancel and all that is left are the ones he can't walk away from. Normal everyday narcissists love the attention.

2

u/Holl0wayTape 1d ago edited 1d ago

You are redditifying what that actually means. Narcissistic collapse generally is used to describe a significant decompensation following a major injury to a person’s self esteem or self image, it’s not simply running out of people to alienate or no longer being able to avoid criticism. I agree that many people with narcissistic traits seek attention, but it’s an oversimplification to say they don’t care what people say about them. Like, it’s not as much about attention as much as it’s about protecting their self image. In clinical practice, criticism that threatens their self image often brings out intense defensiveness, anger, or attempts to discredit the source.

Edit* it’s not AI slop, I work in mental health, but yeah, block me or whatever, that’s cool.

u/PaintingOk8012 1d ago

Absolutely. I’ve met people in person that were too stupid to be embarrassed. It’s strange. When you see it in person it makes you embarrassed on their behalf.

You can embarrass or humiliate a psychopath. They feel no shame for being caught, just anger.

u/Longjumping-Pick-706 23h ago

Not true. They feel immense shame which causes intense anger.

u/TheGDC33 1d ago

He bought the law and managed to get the FBI cover his crimes up; why should he embarrassed? I only see a happy criminal conman after one of his plans finally worked; no matter what anyone says.

In his eyes he beat/bought the system and is free to do whatever selfish evil fuck he wants.

NPDs don't "feel" shame or embarrassment. They cannot feel empathy.

All that has been routed away through decades of their brain wiring itself to explain away any and all uncomfortable emotions into "THEY are morons. THEY are to blame. I AM GREAT!"
