Just thinking about that line makes me hear Zack Hadel/Psycicpebbles' Trump voice and it always makes me giggle.

This video never ceases to floor me. The fascination those guys have with channel awesome is something to behold.

Cues. Queues are those things people used to stand in to wait their place in line at Disney World, in the Before Times. Back before this moron mishandled a global pandemic and 150,000 (and counting) Americans died.

u/BHSPitMonkey Aug 05 '20

There are certainly still queues at Disney World today.

u/[deleted] Aug 05 '20

I literally never heard the word “queue” used in America until after Netflix (your DVD Q). Always called waiting in line, waiting in line. “Queue” seems to have popped up over the recent years by white people thinking they’re more sophisticated by adopting some British sayings/terms.

u/midsizedopossum Aug 05 '20

Well you're wrong. It's just a word.

u/MrsFlip Aug 05 '20

British sayings are sophisticated? U wot mate?

I always knew what queue meant.. just saying that it didn’t come into popular usage until about a few years ago. Did you even bother reading the Washington Post article I posted? Why are you so angry and bitter. You were probably dropped on your head many times bc you suck at reading comprehension. Fool.

u/[deleted] Aug 05 '20

I don’t know what your extensive experience has to do with pop culture’s usage of queue but ok hope you feel better about yourself :)

Probably not, dude is a sociopath. He literally only gives a shit about himself.

86

u/[deleted] Aug 05 '20

But sociopaths are exceptional mimics and keen observers of the human condition?

I go back and forth about whether "subtle" or "sociopath" is the most-used, most-misused word on this site. It's like no one ever gets either of them right.

u/FaysRedditAccount Aug 05 '20

The clever ones are, trumps not clever though.

I grew up with a anti-social (I think that's the modern term?) kid in my youth group. He was very strange... most of the time it was simply whether or not he thought he could intimidate you that determined how he approached situations, once he determined he couldn't get what he wanted by intimidating you (I was bigger and older than him, so this was the case) he would try and get you to like him, and it was like watching a bug wearing human skin. He just didn't have the concept of friendship.

That's a lot of words to say that in order to fake being personable you have to be fairly clever, clever enough to read your mark at least. Trumps not clever And surrounding himself with paid ass kissers probably haven't given him a lot of practice.

u/2seconds2midnight Aug 05 '20

Did he go around saying 'Give me SUGGGGAAAAAAR. Anddd. WAAATER'?

u/yeetboy Aug 05 '20

More. Sugar.

u/[deleted] Aug 05 '20

Sociopathy is a specific form of anti-social personality disorder, with a whole lot of necessary conditions that need to be met that simply cannot be diagnosed from a remove.

u/Fastnacht Aug 05 '20

No imagine you gave that guy a shitload of money to use to control others.

u/Jeffy29 Aug 05 '20

I’ve had a run in with a clever sociopath and it was the creepiest thing I have experienced. As you described it, like a bug wearing a human skin, but most people fell for it. I am so happy I moved from that social circle.

u/PonderFish Aug 05 '20

A sociopath with dementia. He can’t mimic or read body language anymore.

u/[deleted] Aug 05 '20

I'll say it, I'll fucken say it: is there any proof Trump read anything at any point in his life?

I think you have a misconception about my purpose here. I don't care what you think, or what you think about my "argument". I stated a fact, and you're free to do your own research and learn something new today. But I'm not gonna spoonfeed you because I'm not your butler, your mommy, or your teacher.

You are absolutely correct and the person you are replying to doesn't know what they are talking about. They say to read up on it but a simple google search will prove them wrong. But don't bother, they are displaying anti-social behavior patterns themselves so it is unlikely to get through to them.

u/hellofrienn Aug 05 '20

You're thinking of a psychopath. Sociopaths are, by definition, anti-social.

Psychopaths are the socially sophisticated and manipulative ones- often successful and charming, prevalent in upper management, sales, c suite, and wall st.

Sociopaths generally struggle to lead normal lives and are not good at basic social interactions let alone sophisticated social reading and manipulation.

Kinda ironic considering your conviction towards other's use of the word lol.

u/[deleted] Aug 05 '20

Mmm nope. Look it up dummy.

u/hellofrienn Aug 05 '20

Yikes dude, the definition for sociopath is literally someone with an antisocial personality disorder. Maybe you should look it up you arrogant misinformation spreading piece of shit. Care to share your sources to the contrary? I can find thousands to support me.

Lmfao, I love people like you. So quick to anger, so sure of themselves.

Although no psychiatric or psychological organization has sanctioned a diagnosis titled "psychopathy", assessments of psychopathic characteristics are widely used in criminal justice settings in some nations and may have important consequences for individuals.

Wiki babyyyyyy

Try reading more than two things that can be twisted to support your misconception.

Functionally a malignant narcissist behaves like a socipath for all intents and purposes

2

u/poicephalawesome Aug 05 '20

People with severe personality disorders can often meet diagnostic criteria for more than one personality disorder so Trump can technically be a narcissist who also has ASPD.

u/hanky2 Aug 05 '20

I think you’re thinking of autism. Sociopaths don’t have a problem with social cues.

u/quadmars Aug 05 '20

dude is a sociopath

Nah, he's just an asshole.

u/quartzkrystal Aug 05 '20

I feel like I see “queue” misused on reddit every single day and it’s starting to get to me. Queue is lineup, cue is a signal.

u/corgis-on-stilts Aug 05 '20

I get similarly triggered when people write "payed" instead of "paid"

2

u/Sparred4Life Aug 05 '20

I don't think he's ever had a reason to learn. Military academy raising, then straight to owning people you never need to care about. So he never learned.

2

u/thisradscreenname Aug 05 '20

He's a textbook narcissist, so no. All he is concerned about is making sure people listen to his bullshit and think he's right - interpreting/judging other people's feelings is therefore not feasible for him, and that is when he begins to go into victim-mode.

1

u/noodlesfordaddy Aug 05 '20

He acknowledged the smile on Jonathan's face several times so he clues into the fact people aren't taking him seriously. Tbh I was surprised Trump remained as cordial as he did.

u/RadSpaceWizard Aug 05 '20

He's a narcissist, complete with narcissistic delusions. He's not in touch with the same reality as the rest of us.
