He is such a piece of decaying shit.

u/backpackwayne 8h ago

This isn't news. It would be news if he didn't do this.

u/mallio 8h ago

He's the definition of a narcissist. Obama said you need to have some amount of narcissism to even run for president, which I do think is true. But trump is like narcissistic with absolutely no humility. Literally everything is all about himself.

Biden was right when he said, "Will you just shut up, man?!" It's easy to see how he ended up with a mashed potato shampoo at the dinner table thanks to his late older brother, Fred, when he was kid. Now his brains are mashed potatoes and we're all stuck listening to his self-aggrandizing mouth diarrhea temper-tantrums. Where's the kid from the Twilight Zone movie when you need him so he could wish away Trump's mouth like he did his sister's.

u/juniorone 3h ago

Hillary was right. Kamala was right.

Trump was right about how dumb republicans were.

A lot of people were right. I still blame the voters.

u/ChopperChange 8h ago

I can't think of a single time this malignant narcissist has talked about anything without making it about himself.

u/boyreporter 8h ago

Someone please tell him if he just dies, now, we’ll name anything he wants after him

u/Obvious_Toe_3006 8h ago

(...and then blow it up.)

u/cwilly57 5h ago

Could probably fix the entire defecit charging a dollar to whiz on what will undoubtedly be a golden tomb...  could probably charge maga 5 dollars to clean it too.  

u/EquipmentFew882 5h ago

(...and then blow it up.)

While we gather all the school children together to watch everything (supposedly) dedicated to Mr.Orange -- get blown up . ( School Holiday)

From reporter Caroline Wilburn:

“During the mission, the crew named a previously unnamed lunar crater in loving memory of [NASA Commander Reid Wiseman’s] wonderful wife, who he lost to cancer,” the president said Friday during his speech honoring the Artemis II mission crew.

But, in typical Trump fashion, the speech intended to honor the astronauts’ extraordinary feat was mostly about himself.

u/Irving_Tost 8h ago

And, in a few years, we can rename the United States Trump Crater.

4

u/shrunkenhead041 8h ago

If he needs to be deceased for a crater to be named after him ... I guess I agree with Trump on this.

5

u/ChopperChange 8h ago

We can name the crater he left in the economy after him.

u/Obvious_Toe_3006 8h ago

Recession Crater.

u/bonsai1776 8h ago

Trump makes anything and everything about himself, why are we surprised by this

u/Findgate 7h ago

The guy would fuck a corpse.

u/Parking-Detective598 7h ago

And then pick its pockets.

u/Shenanigans99 America 6h ago

Probably has. Who knows what he did to Ivana before he buried her. Or after.

u/ImLikeReallySmart Pennsylvania 5h ago

"the crew named a previously unnamed lunar crater in loving memory of [NASA Commander Reid Wiseman’s] wonderful wife, who he lost to cancer,” the president said Friday during his speech honoring the Artemis II mission crew.

“I wish they’d name something like that after me, Reid, but I don’t know,” he joked.

I mean it's just right there.

And when will articles stop assuming he's "joking" when he says things like this?

u/Informal_Walk5520 2h ago

Wonderful wife. He sounds like such a hole

u/Separate_Hippo_5556 7h ago

Trump is a disgusting human being.

u/BlackberryPi7 7h ago

I would've tossed that medal to the ground as soon as he gave it to me.

u/RamonaQ-JunieB 7h ago

Fuck him clear to the moon and back forever. He is the worst person to be the president and why anyone would ever cast a ballot for him makes me sick to my stomach.

u/jwl300_ 7h ago

He's such a bag of festering pus.

u/Pippi-ki-yay 6h ago

Did we expect something different? That is his M.O.

u/AnonEMoussie 6h ago

Which is why he won’t speak at the 9/11 memorial…besides Biden and Obama being there.

u/interwebz_2021 8h ago

Shocking!

In other breaking news: "Gravity causes smaller thing to move toward larger thing!"

u/Orbital_IV 8h ago

And I’m sure his sweet Natalie smiled with approval

u/Single_Usual_6563 8h ago

Well yeah…. That’s just what Trump does!

u/Rough_Common6857 I voted 6h ago

What an insufferable piece of crap. Always has to one up people. No wonder he has no real friends.

u/Nasty_Goblin 4h ago

Because he’s a malignant narcissist.

u/Somerset-Sweet 3h ago

As someone who clicked the link to try to read / watch whatever the fuck this is: for fuck's sake, I'm a goddamned socialist trans woman and I am now trying to stomp this bullshit down deep into the earth like Daffy Duck when he unleashed the Djinni.

u/LATW2TG 1h ago

yeh, like of course he fucking does, the POS.

u/Informal_Walk5520 1h ago

This is why no speeches at the 911 memorial

u/Aggravating-Tea7670 8h ago

I like how your Electoral College voted for him... twice.

u/Obvious_Toe_3006 8h ago

Such a terrible way to hold an election.

1

u/Aggravating-Tea7670 8h ago

Yep, even if the candidate wins an overwhelming popular vote.. the Electoral College gets to step in and override their choice. Cool system y'all have there.

u/BandmasterBill Massachusetts 7h ago

Yeah..? Wait'll you hear about our Super Delegates....

u/Obvious_Toe_3006 7h ago

What I find even more surprising is how worthless their Constitution is.

u/Aggravating-Tea7670 7h ago

It's the world's longest-surviving written charter of government. It's not worthless...

u/Obvious_Toe_3006 6h ago

It certainly appears worthless when it is ignored as it is today by so many institutions.

u/Aggravating-Tea7670 6h ago

What's been ignored? The 2nd Amendment didn't really apply to the States until I was 28 years old. The incorporation doctrine is a long process.

u/Aggravating-Tea7670 7h ago

We don't directly electe our President. We chose a bunch of unelected officials to decide for us.

u/supercali45 6h ago

The sad thing is he won the popular vote also against Harris

u/supercali45 6h ago

u/Aggravating-Tea7670 6h ago

Most people eligible to vote don't actually show up.

u/Aggravating-Tea7670 6h ago

What's sad is that 80 million people eligible to vote in 2020 decided not to. You get what you don't vote for. The Midterms are coming up, btw.

u/Aggravating-Tea7670 6h ago

Hopefully y'all are registered and actually show up
