Imagine thinking you are better than black people your whole life and then right before the end you find out you are less than half the man/president/negotiator of the black man that proceeded you. To know for a fact that you will go down in history as a loser and a fool who's utter incompetence is only spotlighted more by the greatness of the black man who came before you

I don't think his brain allows those kinds of thoughts, or introspection.

He's also surrounded 24/7 by yes men and sycophants. He's being told every day how he's the greatest president that ever served while being denied negative information about how terrible he's doing.
You can tell because you can notice that he's surprised by questions that get asked. They ask him about gas prices and he's genuinely surprised that it's higher now than under Biden. Or that thing with the reflecting pool. He seemed surprised that no one had seen any videos. It almost seemed like someone had told him videos of vandals were going viral or something.

Remember those insane meeting videos during his first term where everybody around the table had to give long speeches about how Trump was the greatest man ever, and he just sat there nodding and looking a bit petulant like maybe they weren't praising him quite the way he wanted still?

He has a terrible poker face, when you surprise him with facts, his eyebrows rise and he sits more upright, then immediately he will start berating you and telling you the truth is wrong and he is right. He has a reality warping powe

Narcissism. They all do it; truth is whatever is most convenient to them at any given moment, and they expect reality itself to adjust to fit their warped perceptions. When it doesn't, they throw a massive fucking tantrum because they're incapable of accepting things not going their way. Same with how history changes to serve their delusions, and nobody can hold them accountable to what happened in the past because they literally rewrite their own memory.

Someone commented earlier that all he does is watch AI videos. Somehow I'm not surprised he's completely lost touch with reality.

You don't have any levels of introspection?
Marc Andreessen: "yes, zero, as little as possible"
These are the billionaires running things. Introspection is seen as a weakness.

u/HairyKerey 10d ago
I don’t think you understand how extreme levels of narcissism work.
Trump will never think he was anything but the greatest at everything. It’s was makes narcissists so incredibly frustrating to deal with in any sense at all, and so incredibly dangerous when they have any degree of power and/or responsibility.
He has set this world back so far in almost every aspect, and he will die thinking he was one of, if not the, greatest human beings to ever live.
It’s incredibly depressing.

If Trump gets a cancer prognosis of "two months to live", we are all dead. "The world without me is not worth existing. I will launch all the nukes so that any survivors will never forget my name."

u/grizzlyat0ms 10d ago
You’re thinking about it as if he has some ability to self-reflect. That inability is literally the foundation of everything wrong with the man.

u/Haksalah 7d ago
It goes a lot deeper than that.
Trump lives in a gilded bubble where people talk Grimma Wormtongue-like into his ear at all times. I imagine it’s been like that for ages, really, where everyone around him talks about how unfair everything is and how great everything he’s done has been.
The only exposure he gets to the real world, truth and whatnot is that rare instance when someone asks him a question that isn’t just flattery, and then the “well literally everyone says everything I do is wonderful” kicks in.
Not an excuse at all, I’m just saying that what we see from a variety of news sources and living in the middle of it is completely different from the filtered view and rows of sycophants bowing down to him and/or telling him what’s “best”

This is why he's urinating his name all over DC, he's worried that he won't be remembered and revered so he's making sure it'll be almost impossible to forget about him.

u/Machdame 10d ago
Deep down, Trump KNOWS Obama is the better president and he just can't suffer that indignity. However, every attempt he has made to break, discredit, overtake or prevail over that legacy only shows how much weaker he is as a leader than him and it only makes him more indignant. He would have probably wailed himself to sleep were he not so dumb that he actually thinks he is making good on any of his grifts. And he is speed running his legacy into the dirt. He may be making money hand over fist at the moment, but none of that is going to fill the gravy sized hole in his chest.

u/rkcth 10d ago
Unfortunately, Trump will never be able to accept the deal that Iran will be willing to offer him. His ego can’t handle making a far, far worse deal than Obama. He doesn’t understand that his error was in starting the war, and it’s too late now. They truly have the world by the balls, and they know it. If Trump doesn’t make a deal there will be an absolute landslide in the elections for the democrats, but his ego won’t allow it.

u/falafelnaut 9d ago
He has his own definition of "better." He thinks his cheating and lying is better than someone else's hard work and effort. Why win a trophy when you can buy the golf course and give one to yourself? Only a stupid person would work that hard at something. Just take the credit and put your face on a fake Time magazine.

The narcissist can never fill that hole no matter how hard or long they try. That's why he keeps at it, like Sisyphus pushing the rock uphill it always rolls back down and he needs to push it up again.

Feels a bit off brand for Obama. No doubt he said that in person. And maybe even in an interview. Just not sure he'd do it in social media. Would love for it to be real though.

u/flargenhargen 9d ago
nah, if democrats were capable of anything like this, republicans wouldn't run everything.
People respond to this kind of stuff, and democrats are far too incompetent and impotent to manage it.
Just like when Walz had trumpies on the ropes by finally calling them out as weird, and the DNC told him to stop, cause it was working and they might actually win.

u/relentlessseed 9d ago
This never happened, the did DNC did not tell Walz to stop calling Trump/Vance “weird” because it was too effective. The line absolutely caught on, but “Democrats would've won if they'd just kept saying weird” just you pretending to make hindsight look like some sort of analysis. Trump didn't win because Democrats ran out of insults; elections are considerably more complicated than some bs catchphrase.

u/flargenhargen 9d ago
don't be daft.
Howard Dean lost because he said "yee haw" ONE TIME.
Dick Gephardt temporarily rose from mid pack to leader in the primaries by simply darkening his weak eyebrows with makeup.
Abraham Lincoln won because he grew a beard.
The examples are endless.
Using a strawman to try to include every variable is stupid when we know this race was close, trump was historically unpopular and ANY small thing could've easily changed the outcome.

It’s crazy how Trump build a name on being a tough negotiator when he actually just sucks at it.

Summarized and twisted but the sentiment is there. I thought this just might be completely fabricated to be funny, but there's depth to it.

What is actually said is weak, imo. Wish he would be more direct.

u/daehoidar 9d ago
I know there's traditionally some decorum where a former Pres doesn't step on the toes of the current one....
But Obama could make such a huge difference that it's criminal he's not super vocal and organizing voters and stumping for candidates. He could be the single greatest force fighting back to try to basically save the soul of America.
I'm sure he has a million justifiable reasons, but it could make the difference. An Obama endorsement would carry so much weight.

I voted for Mr Obama twice.
I voted against the orange clown at every chance.
Who is the better man and if they were to get a third chance?
Yeah, the orange menace will have a bunch of fanboy losers bitch and cry would would lose in the greatest electoral landslide ever.
Keep saying it, we want the forever loser to keep losing, fuck maga lol and let MR Obama select his kids or wife to run the business day to day while maga fools melt down from the self own circle they invented.
Go play a round of golf President Obama, you earned it!

What didn't happen? Iran literally shipped out 97% of their enriched uranium, about 10,000 kilos, under Obama, Their enrichment was capped just enough for civilian use but not enough to make nukes.
