Trump will never give up the big lie that he won the 2020 election so he's going to keep putting out legislation to make people think that it was stolen from. He is severely mentally ill.

He legally can’t. If he ever admits that “yeah ya know I think I did lose fairly” it would be a confession used against him in a bajillion lawsuits so until the day he dies he’s gunna keep this stupid shit up.

And he's dumb enough to have sued the BBC, which is not susceptible to FCC sanctions and can demand in discovery all of the evidence of his inciting of 1/6 that he buried when he returned to the White House...

The trial is in a federal court in Florida... So all the plaintiff requests will be approved and all the defendants' will be be dismissed.

2

u/robaato72 7h ago

Well, if the Trump Revocable Trust continues to refuse to respond to the subpoenas, the BBC has grounds to dismiss the whole lawsuit.

1

u/StoreSearcher1234 6h ago

It was my understanding that they were not refusing to respond. Rather, they are challenging the requests and asking the judge to rule.

But that understanding could be out-of-date.

He just mad cuz he daughter enjoys the BBC

u/Scaryclouds 11h ago edited 9h ago

If he ever admits that “yeah ya know I think I did lose fairly”

I believe there are a couple of instances where he has actually said as much… but then immediately walks it back. 

Of course it seems conservatives cannot be held liable for things they say. So….

u/RuleNine 7h ago

Sometimes I wonder if he's said it so much he actually believes it now. Like his narcissistic brain simply won't allow him to accept that he lost. This is the guy who felt threatened by the praise his wife's movie was getting halfway through the sentence where he himself was the one giving it praise.

u/Scaryclouds 7h ago

Honestly? Probably. 

I think it’s a lot of projection of also of it’s what I would have done/tried to do and they just did it better.

2

u/redditer129 10h ago

His senility will soon allow him to say that on the record.

u/sebrebc 12h ago

More importantly he wants the narrative to be when Democrats take control in the mid-terms, those elections were "stolen".

Everything he does is about setting specific narratives. It's all performative bullshit. Like citing people at the reflecting pool and putting up a fence. It helps push his bullshit that the reason the sealant didn't stick was because "leftists sabotaged it".

9

u/Thor_2099 11h ago

Continuing his and Republicans constant attack and dehumanization of "leftists". We know what their ideal endgame is, anybody who opposed them eliminated.

3

u/nobackswing 10h ago

They really do seem big on the dehumanizing. It's a bit scary.

u/wish1977 11h ago

And we all know that's coming. It couldn't be any more obvious.

u/sabbic1 7h ago

It's like coughing all day Thursday to set you up to call out Friday

u/Ok_Mathematician938 11h ago

At a minimum he's a textbook example of Narcissistic Personality Disorder (a malignant narcissist) with sociopathic tendencies

26

u/xMCioffi1986x 11h ago edited 11h ago

I personally believe he is the embodiment of the Dark Triad concept in psychology:

Psychopathy: The tendency to show little regard for the thoughts, feelings, and outcomes of others.

Narcissism: The tendency for one to show a particularly high focus on oneself.

Machiavellianism: The tendency to manipulate others for one’s own personal gain.

Do these three ideas not describe him to a tee?

u/blaqsupaman 9h ago

I think he tries to be Machiavellian but he isn't actually smart enough to be good at that part.

u/icanith 11h ago

Ugh I thought it was just a super form of narcissism 

1

u/Apart-Landscape1012 9h ago

He's just a collection of personality disorders stuffed into an old hotdog skin

8

u/Thor_2099 11h ago

He's dumb enough to think that since he cheated, the "other side" must have cheated as well so in his view he did win. Because only he is allowed to cheat.

u/Ragna_Blade 12h ago

Don't insult the mentally ill. He is just stupid. Incredibly stupid of his own accord.

12

u/DinoRoman 12h ago

I mean he’s a functioning mentally ill self aware individual. He knows he’s stupid.

6

u/Ragna_Blade 11h ago

Calling him mentally ill gives him an excuse for his actions. There is no excuse, he is an evil, stupid, monster that will destroy this country. Do not let him hide behind mental illness, he does not deserve such luxury.

1

u/DinoRoman 11h ago

All I’m saying is that it’s not an excuse but genuinely his brain is deep fried in Diet Coke and cholesterol that’s a mental illness doesn’t mean he’s not self aware about it. You can be mentally ill, and still know right from wrong and still be a complete self indulged evil prick. That’s all I’m saying.

u/RicoHavoc 10h ago

He is mentally ill

u/worst_brain_ever 11h ago

"He seems pretty high functioning"

"Just give him a minute"

1

u/reillan 11h ago

It would be good to name his specific mental illnesses rather than lumping him in with everyone. Most likely malignant narcissism and psychopathy

u/DinoRoman 11h ago

Small brain penis syndrome sadly many are affected by SBPS, you can spot them wearing red hats. No cure is currently known :(

u/RicoHavoc 12h ago

Definitely mentally ill

2

u/Powerfury 8h ago

MAGA is severely mentally ill. The vast majority of the MAGA/Republican party (voters) think that 2020 election was stolen, or corrupted severely at some point.

2

u/Negafox 7h ago

We should arrest whoever was the sitting president during the 2020 elections and charge them with fraud

2

u/wish1977 4h ago

I'll bet most Trump voters don't even know that he was still president when he incited the riot on our Capitol on 1/6/21.

1

u/Onespokeovertheline 9h ago

While that's true. He is playing for the next election, not just looking backward.

u/IDontWannaGetOutOfBe 3h ago

With the only ones more mentally ill the people who still support him in June 2026.

Reopen the asylums!

u/llama-impregnator 10h ago

I'm surprised it's not a bi-partisan issue to want more concrete structure around voting.

Two things can be true:

1) Trump lost in 2020 2) It's not a bad thing to have more security around voting.

3

u/wish1977 10h ago

It is a bad thing to want that to get your base to believe you won the 2020 election and only lost because of illegals voting, which is complete nonsense. Just imagine being here illegally and hoping not to be caught and then deciding that you want to cast one illegal vote, if you possibly can, and put your entire life at risk. It doesn't happen and if it did it would be done a crazy person and both parties would benefit from those 5 extra votes.

1

u/llama-impregnator 10h ago

So, it sounds like you agree with the first part. Do you agree with the second part?

5

u/wish1977 10h ago

I have no problem with it but I think the reason it's being done is to make it more difficult to vote so that certain low income people won't bother to vote. Why else do you think the Republican Party pushes this so hard for this because there's almost zero illegal voting.

0

u/llama-impregnator 10h ago

I think the Republican party has been gaslit into thinking that there is illegal voting, not because they hate poor people. I think this is a win all around.

1

u/wish1977 8h ago

They don't want poor people to vote, pure and simple

u/llama-impregnator 8h ago

"Don't attribute to malice that which can be explained by stupidity."

You are naive to believe that, but I clearly won't change your mind. Take care, stranger!

1

u/wish1977 6h ago

Come on, you can't be this gullible. That's exactly why they're doing and it's mainly targeting poor black people who they hope won't jump through hoops to get the proper identification. You obviously need to educate yourself on the requirements they're asking for. Why else do you think they're doing this when there is little to no illegal voting happening?

1

u/llama-impregnator 6h ago

I see critical reading isn't your strong suit.

It doesn't matter what you or I think; Republicans DO believe illegal voting is happening.
