Are my impressions about trump wrong?

[Deleted]

The way he flip flops on things suggests that he's being controlled by someone, perhaps multiple people. Probably because he's scared, has no idea what he's doing and is willing to listen to the first person who gives him advice.

That's the best explanation up to now. Yeah, probably he just is the sum of the people that surround him. His daughter, Mr. Kushner, but also, and unfortunately, Mr. Bannon and once Mr. Manafort.

And whenever he has no advice, he produces the output we currently may participate in.

We all know Trump is best person or it's a lie.

[Sky High]

he's all of those things because if nothing else he is a shrewd marketer, that's about all he's good at and knows about, making himself and his message look good. is there any substance to him past that? sure as hell doesn't appear to be. I mean it's painfully obvious he's not engaged with policy making or actually being the president where he gives half of his job over to shit weasels like Kushner.

the man is an empty suit and nothing more.

[Dextroden]

why degrade yourself instead of taking the highroad? So what if he made fun of disable person does sinking yourself to that level make you a better person then he is? If society realized how much hypocrisy they made towards each other we would realize all that energy spent would be better in making our economy more efficient and our life more enjoyable.

You are late.

"They go low, we go high."

Such a great motto. And then Trump won and that was thrown away.

I don't understand why anyone thinks Trump is more intelligent than your average half-retarded rock-munching troglodyte.

You could have made your point without insulting half-retarded rock-munching troglodytes like that

He's just intelligent enough to fake being far more intelligent than he actually is. Ingenious!

Trump isn't any one thing, like most people. The problem for him is that he's never had to be accountable to anyone but himself, has never been told no, and armed with that experience he fucked with people who are exponentially smarter and more experienced than him.

This is what happens when you do that.

[Dextroden]

No, it would mean he's not mentally capable of doing his duty as the President.

I'm not making light of anything. It's a serious condition and we need to make sure these people don't hurt anyone in their confusion. He shows no symptoms of autism. He does show symptoms of Alzheimer's.

Give it time. Just like you see Alzheimer's, someone else will see bipolar disorder or say he is on the spectrum.

[Teebone]

Those two images don't disagree with each other necessarily? And Trump is in the early stages of Alzheimer's, just like his daddy before him.

If that is true he would immediately be declared medically unfit for office.

Perhaps the GOP might be saving that one in case of the worst to avoid mass fallout and a voter revolt. But as far as narcisim...

'nuff said.

[Azadina]

Wonder which one of his kids will try and take advantage and get the others written outta the will like dear ol' Donny did to his daddy.

Ivanka seems like his favorite by far, so I doubt she'll even have to try.

If that is true he would immediately be declared medically unfit for office.

Well, he was medically declared unfit for draft. Amazing what money and doctor shopping can do. I'm sure it can easily work the other way too.

[Teebone]

Wouldn't that garner sympathy? Like Ronald Reagan?

Reagan got shot. That garnered sympathy. Alzhiemer's in the 80s wasn't considered as serious as it is today. Today, that's a political death sentence.

[shrunken]

People flip flopped all the time.

He's useless idiot. He's a cunning mastermind. He's a Russian plant. He's a Nazi overlord. He's a Republican mouthpiece. The Republicans are his mouthpiece. He's a Bush Jr style puppet. He's going to make it where only he has power.

Vain buffoon. That's where it is.

I wish you'd remove all the punctuation from your post and then pitch this to DC for their next comic villain.

Trump is about as one would expect. A clown that wouldn't have gotten into power if it wasn't for whom he went against.

I was hoping a businessman would be a refreshing change, but he turned out just about the same as any politician. Just more useless.

Wonder if political diarrhea is considered a pre-existing condition under Trumpcare =)

[Wyrt]

He's delusional and other people bought into his delusions.

Christ, anyone in the big box sector of retail can tell you just how bad execs really are. They are morally bankrupt useless money magnets without the slightest clue as to what 'hard work' really is.

[beanman12345]

Trump isn't smart at all. He is rich and has hired smart people to do much of his work for him, And even with that Trump has made some really stupid ass decisions. He is avg intelligence at best.

Good; Someone who is after results, no matter what people say.

Not someone who'll bend backwards at whatever the hip public opinion is just to keep having access to their portion of the pot.

[Queen of Hamsters]

Who the hell could know about Trump's life and history and believe he'd bring something different to the table as POTUS...? He even showed time and again during his campaign what he is, and people still voted for him.

The image of Trump hasn't been wrong for all the years that he's been in the public eye.

[Thage]

I don't think he's got Alzheimer's. There's an underlying logic to everything he does, even the most outrageous and seemingly-counterintuitive. Donald Trump is beholden to one individual: the ego of Donald Trump. Everything he says, and does, is motivated entirely by his ego; he's a classic example of what happens when someone with narcissistic personality disorder is coddled his entire life and spends his adult life getting away scott-free with conning his way into billions by bullying, misleading, and outright lying to contractors and investors while writing golden parachutes into the fine print so he still makes it out ahead.

Coupled with his obsession over White House and government agency leaks, reports from within the White House that he spends hours a day watching conservative news programs and yells at the TV while doing so, and recent reports suggesting his aides carefully monitor what reports make it to his desk, he's exhibiting many signs of a narcissist having a meltdown the first time he's confronted with the word, 'No.' This administration is going to make for a fascinating case study in twenty years about the necessity of rigorous mental health screening when public officials prepare to take office, whatever else comes out of the Trump administration for good or ill.
