All things reality with Trump, maybe not so beautiful now!

[Roussette]

Here we are!

To quote one of my friends:

"I'd call him a cunt, but he has neither the warmth nor the depth."

Roussette I know. It's like the ramblings of a drunken man. How can anyone take him seriously? If someone is writing those speeches, they should be sacked!

When Spicer presents information at the next press conference, I really hope he's asked if that is a fact or an alternative fact.

My god, that transcript!

Compare and contrast. And possibly weep, a little bit. 😢

It will be interesting to see how he reacts to the first crisis or major event. If his ramblings so far have been anything to go by he will either deny it as Fake News or turn it into an excuse to talk about how great he is.

Spudlet It's like night and day, isn't it?

AcrossthePond Somehow I knew you'd say that!

I always wanted one of those covert Secret Service jackets - you know, the ones with "Secret Service" embroidered on the back

That speech at the CIA is absolutely embarrassing. My five year olds can speak better than that. Shocking!

People on Twitter are rapid at any criticism of Dark Emperor Trump. They can bring out absolutely NOTHING to defend him, but they attack over and over, very nasty, and demanding examples of when he's been less than wonderful. (seriously, who has that kind of time on their hands to list it all?)

Just ridiculous. And women going on and on about how these women probably didn't vote and how they are just sour grapes and how women have equality and so do minorities and everyone else..... Shocking that people are so naive.

And yet there are people who defend him who are prominent commentators over here and who have a prominent platform in the media.

Piers Morgan being one. And Hopkins.

I just wonder what May really thinks about Trump.

I think May will spend a fair bit of time biting her tongue, to be honest. I'm not a huge fan, but can only thank fuck it's her going over and not Boris.

Piers Morgan is a twat. Hopkins as well. They support their fellow twats.

Rewatching the inaugaration - you can see the live feed and the crowds. It's obvious the difference.

People who claim otherwise - well, I'm not sure what to say.

I don't know how you even begin to engage with people who deny things that others can see with their own eyes.

TBF to Trump, it probably did look to him from his perspective that the crowd went back to the Washington Monument.

Speaking of perspective:

spartacus that's probably my favourite clip of all time. I actually do think it's important that we don't lose our sense of humour in all this. I think the Donald's worst fear is people seeing him as a joke.

Alternative facts.

My favourite load of old bollocks yet.

That's what's so scary.

Every time Trump says something obviously untrue and impossible to defend, the only thing he and his supporters can do is distract by attacking other people.

So they will invent increasing numbers of imaginary enemies to rail against. Purely to save face.

OK lots of people do this to some extent, but in the world of the narcissist, this has no limits.

Respect He wants respect. The Presidential office should be respected but the President and his team should act Presidential. You don't see other leaders of democracies acting like this.

His CIA speech and his encouragement of divisiveness - them and us. 'You all voted for me, right?" Then talking about the dishonest media.

One thing is - it should give psychologists in the USA (and abroad) plenty of air time.

I'm sure the FBI and CIA behaviour analysts are having a field year.

If ever people in relationships want to know about gaslighting, all that needs to be done is to point them to the last few days.

I can see a TV screen. I can see live feeds.

As are KGB, MI5 and every other spy agency who has to tell their leader how Trump might react.

I wonder what his cognitive belief system is like. He strikes me as the kind of person who would want to believe something is true and then disregard any contradictory evidence. It would be easy for Governments and organisations to take advantage of that. Especially if he doesn't trust certain people.

Seems to me he believes he is so powerful/esteemed/ superior that can do as he pleases and others should defer to him

Getting the top job has surely only sent his already supercharged ego into the stratosphere, he won't be able to reign himself in or censor himself

Its going to be so fucking funny😂

He really doesn't seem to have grasped the fundamental difference between heading up your own company, where you are making decisions that will hopefully benefit yourself. Compared to leading a country whos occupants all have different needs.
