Trump must have something wrong with him

I admit that I don't follow politics closely.

I'm not sure what is happening with Trump.
One day he is saying one thing then the next he either forgets what he said or changes the words.
He is coming across as a mad man or is this the way dictators act.

How he is treating President Zelensky is disgusting.

He won't be here for long, only another 4 years - he's getting old, they need younger candidates.

Wishyouwerehere50 · 28/02/2025 18:45

It's a bit scary. Blaming the victim for their own abuse - eg blaming Ukraine for their invasion.

He can't seriously think Trump Gaza is a real possibility?

It's the stuff of sociopaths and psychopaths tbh.

I really really hope that he is being like that for show to Putin. But I don’t know if that’s possible

He can, and will, do a lot of damage in 4 years.

The vice president is younger, he can take over.
Unless a majority of the population get their brains organised.

Vascular Dementia, I’ve been saying it for years.

I worked in dementia for over twenty years. That man is unwell.

I’m not saying he’s not a psychopath, he is. But he’s also really not well.

MyFlightWasAwfulThanksForAsking · 28/02/2025 18:50

Yes he does. So does the Republican party and everyone who voted for Trump. They knew what he was like and still he got back in. America is fucked.

528htz · 28/02/2025 18:51

I think there's quite a lot wrong with trump.

It's awful that Zelenskyy has to deal with these two jokers when he's been working so hard to defend his country and having to stand by and watch his people being tortured and killed. Trump and Vance aren't men enough to be able to do what Zelenskyy is doing. They're crass amateurs for sure. I hope they get their comeuppance in the near future. Trump is an utter scumbag.

Do you not think he's just trolling everyone? I think he's a grandiose narcissist. I think all these U turns are him entertaining himself by dangling people from a string.

MaryGreenhill · 28/02/2025 18:53

I felt so bad for President Zelensky . It's like they are bullies in the school yard .

Cattery · 28/02/2025 18:54

I think he’s playing at being president. I don’t think he has any idea of the ramifications of what he’s doing. It’s like a kid in a sweet shop. Incredibly unsettling to watch

They're showing themselves up, like with the sharing of the trump gaza video. People can see he's just a callous shit. Some people will still approve, but a hell of a lot won't.

528htz · 28/02/2025 18:57

I blame the shooter. He had ONE job! 🤦🏼‍♀️

This insanity surely can't persist.

Every day there's something new.

Just when you think it can't get any worse .............

GreyAreas · 28/02/2025 19:03

If his main interest is to be the centre of attention, he has absolutely nailed it. The most successful grandiose narcissist in the world ever. Quite something to behold. We all see it, and yet, here we are.

Talonz · 28/02/2025 19:10

Zelensky was stitched up there. The only way forward will be for him to resign though, because there is no security guarantee from the US without a change of leadership in Ukraine.

America runs the masterclass on disaster capitalism and Trump is now the CEO. Putin is a heavyweight bouncer, but he does not own the freehold.

BlueSkyBeing · 28/02/2025 19:10

He's a text book narcisist.

Lampzade · 28/02/2025 19:13

I honestly don’t know what to say anymore .

NigelDebster · 28/02/2025 19:14

I'm literally speechless at the absolute disrespect Trump and Vance have shown another country's president. They were treating him like a child. Absolutely disgusting.

tallhotpinkflamingo · 28/02/2025 19:17

He is chaotic to control people, it is an established strategy. It's also harder for people to control you if you're unpredictable.

ICouldHaveCheckedFirst · 28/02/2025 19:18

Remember people used to use the word "statesmanlike" for political leaders? T & V could not be less statesmanlike if they tried.

Introducingme · 28/02/2025 19:18

I think Trump treatment Velensky like this because Ukraine are not members of NATO.

Scary times in the world.

I think we were told a couple of years ago that Putin had Parkinson's and pancreatic cancer.
I don't like thinking about the shooter just missing, but...

beguilingeyes · 28/02/2025 19:36

I can't imagine him meekly handing over the reins in four years time. Who's going to stop him? He owns the Supreme Court.
That bullying display was utterly horrific.

There was talk of amending the constitution to allow him a third term.
