“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.

The best liars are able to convince themselves of the lie first.

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 remember many years ago when Scott Adams started going on about affirmations. That was the first hint of his descent into lunacy

To be fair he reads on par with a six year old, and with the dementia as bad as it is, that sounds about right.

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.

He did it with “fake news,” which was initially about literally fake news sites spreading on social media that supported the Trump campaign in 2016.

Just like he’s trying to appropriate the word coup by saying Biden was kicked out in a coup.

He uses it to soften his ACTUAL coup attempt during and after the 2020 election.

He’s using it to kill the definition in preparation for what Repub Trumpanzees plan to do this year and the next.

I think that’s the origin of the “every accusation is a confession” effect. If there’s one thing they’re good at, it’s conditioning their base to ignore critics.

They keep failing at reappropriating the word because the things they keep trying to say are weird are remarkably normal to regular folks with regular families, and they wind up looking weird themselves for trying.

It’s like if I said “Get a load of Bob, hugging his wife without her recoiling at his touch. What a weirdo, right guys?!”

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!
