    “She’s not having success. I’m having success”

    Did he start that sentence with “nuh ah,” because that sounds like something a 6 year old would say.

      He’s just gonna keep repeating it…

      Real narcissism at Trump’s level is legit like this. They convince themselves that their version is real life, and just refuse to acknowledge anything contrary to that

      South Park actually did a really good job portraying it in the Fish Sticks episode with Cartman’s memory continually evolving to keep making him believe new versions where he created more and more of the joke.

      trump legit believes he’s succeeding, it’s why he’s such a good conman. It’s not a con to him, all his crazy promises he thinks he’ll follow thru on, and when he doest he rationalizing it as not his fault and he did everything he can.

          If somebody told me they based George on Trump, I wouldn’t even bother fact checking, it’s just one of those things that makes too much sesne to doubt.

          They’ve got too many similarities personality wise.

            I am currently rewatching Seinfeld and can’t see any similarities to be honest. George is a downtrodden nerd with very little self-worth always questioning himself and his decisions, thinking of himself as a loser and often saying so himself. Trump is the opposite of that, no?

              George is trump with the money stripped away

              And George wasn’t a nerd, he was a dork, there’s a difference

          Not enough people watch American Dad, but there’s an episode where the Dad (he’s from America) decides he could just decide to ignore people…

          It’s probably one the best C stories in American television.

          And trump’s story is probably going to end the same way Stan’s did

              I may or may not hear Stan in my head saying that everytime I stop typing a reply and just block someone.

              Such a cathartic feeling to know that person just blinked out of existence from your perspective.

              Hey, it worked!

    Maureen Dowd of the failing New York Times, wrote incorrectly that I was making the calls. WRONG!!! I don’t have to make calls to go on TV, or anything else — They call me!

    Got it. So he absolutely, 100% without a doubt called them first.

    He added, “Delivery was a C+, with far too many and speedy ‘thank you’s’ at the beginning. It was ‘WEIRD!’”

    He’s trying to appropriate the word. We’re not gonna let him. Fuck off, orange man.

          I have, on multiple occasions, passed a test proving I was conscious! The doctor told me he’d never seen someone so good at following a light with their eyes, that my kind of conscious is just what America needs to be saved!

      He just tried to call something weird in the article, so most recent time was then. Though, even if I can’t recall specifics, I’m sure he’s done it many times when his brain runs out of new insults.

    Desperate weirdo, got it.

    Damn, Trump at 78 with the general public is a lot like me with my crush when I was 15.

    Now that I think of it… it’s kinda weird that 15 year old me and 78 year old Don want the same kinda girl… 😬

    He sounds desperate to want people not to call him desperate. A desperate person may do desperate things.
