People don’t remember how he flat out campaigned on some policies that were to the left of Hilary. They don’t remember his charisma in the Republican debates, the way he expertly worked crowds back in 2015-16. They ask have forgotten about how he said he’ll “drain the swamp” and that he was “self funding his campaign” so he “wouldn’t be beholden to any other interests”
Turns out he was just a sad wannabe dictator who can’t even manage to control a Latin American nation with the full force of the US Military, let alone establish himself as emperor over the 'states

A narcissist excels at vaguely indicating how great things might be if they got their way.

Hey just FYI that word is an ableist slur that entered the popular lexicon through self-help scams after two thousand years of being used to villify queer people, and it doesn’t apply to Trump.

this mf quoted their own opinion article they wrote as a source.
You made a revisionist version of a thousands of years old myth written for Tumblr, published on Medium, and then referenced as proof/source here…
Holyhell, that’s levels of up one’s own ass never seen before.

I honestly feel a little privileged to have witnessed it.

That’s to keep you from having to scroll past several pages of comment explaining the whole issue all over again in the thread. It’s more convenient for you to just click a link if you doubt the claim, and then you can see the argument I would have otherwise typed in the thread. It’s easier for Me as well.
When arguing with tankies on this site, I often wish they would take the same approach, instead of either writing a 4 page comment, or citing the entire works of Marx. It allows the reader to choose which arguments to further engage with, and saves time for everyone.

I have an actual degree in psychology that I am currently using exclusively to label Trump as having a personality disorder, thank you very much.

Understood. In that case, I will be removing your account from our instance for violating the APA’s inclusive language guidelines concerning person-first language, which I assume you are familiar with. I will not see your reply.
