That's.... Actually a good look for him.

I absolutely hate saying anything nice about him, but yeah... That look kinda works for him.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 11 hours ago

its probably because the way he wears his suit, its always look like its choking him, because he wants to hide the folds of his necks.

I think he’s dying. He’s probably at least losing (what little he had of) his mind.

I'd say it looks good but this fuck doesn't deserve it.

Imagine having such an eroded sense of self you cling to what you deem is a strong man and have to emulate him. All While being the president of the US

I still get amazed at how absolutely stupid MAGA are.

Narcissistic Personality Disorder in a nutshell.

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 32 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Simple, Mamdani probably just knows how to handle a narcissist. All you gotta do is stroke their ego, and it's not too difficult to get them on your side; the hardest part making them think that your ideas were their own, but even that's not too difficult because in typical narcissistic fashion, they'll just steal your ideas and then claim them as their own.

Trump always comes out of meetings agreeing with the last person he talked to. He has no mind if his own any more, if he ever had one to begin with.

He's like water, he takes the shape of what container he's in.

It's been 9 years since he started politics and I never understood why anyone ever backed him.

[–] CaptnNMorgan@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

Its been way longer than 9 years. He ran for president when I was in the 7th grade. I'm almost 30.

Some people are way more racist than we can even imagine.

[–] Credibly_Human@lemmy.world 41 points 2 days ago (22 children)

He matches their hateful energy.

They believe he will hurt the right people (to them); marginalized people.

They are largely happy that he is, and many are completely willing to accept massive sacrifice to get this.

Populism. He convinced everyone he was a billionaire outsider not beholden to anyone. The whole thing started from a fake rally to help him gain ratings for The Apprentice.

He looks like JJ Abrams tried to create a new villain for Star Wars (that serves on the Jedi council) but when he looks in the mirror, he secretly cackles.

star trek villian, a lazy trek villian with barely any makeup or costumes, much like kurtzman trek, who is his successor.

I miss being more ignorant about the world, about politics. Life would be so much nicer.

[–] Stupidmanager@lemmy.world 7 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Not to be an asshole but uh, that is what got us into this mess. Maybe not you specifically, but uninformed ignorant people who never took the time to learn and voted cause they saw that orange idiot on tv and he claimed he too was a racist fuck who was going to clean up the swamp.

Well from a socio-political standpoint, propaganda just plain works.

When you take a strong mix of continual white-washing of rhetoric and policy across American radio and television, a good forty years of right-wing political maneuvering towards further local focus in messaging and turn-out, as well as a continual lack of ease for most Americans to even spend the time to get politically informed, nevermind exposed to new points of thought; you end up having a vast swath of the population that can't even afford the time to vote, those that do have a wide margin that either aren't able to, or are so socially entrenched they dont want to hear about non-republican major talking points, and you end up with the general basis of where we are now.

That doesn't nearly cover the whole scene, but I'd recommend looking through some of Pew Research publications on elections to get a little better idea of the way turnout ends up.

Tldr; its complicated as hell lol.

Mamdani cast Charm Person, and even though Trump was rolling with advantage, his WIS score was poor even in his best years. Hasn't worn off yet.

The face paint looks a bit lighter also

[–] Lumidaub@feddit.org 60 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (26 children)

He's had an epiphany. He's going to come out as bi any day now and defect to the Greens and by executive order make the stripes in the US flag rainbow coloured and he's going to rule as a just, benevolent dictator.
