What I don’t understand is that he hasn’t run out of ass-kissing supporters and gullible morons who want to be “on his good side”. Don’t they fucking get it? With someone like trump, it’s always a competition where HE wins and YOU lose. Every. Fucking. Time.

He is a psychopathic narcissist who thinks everything he does is wonderful. One of his main goals is to cause destruction and harm to others. He has spent his entire life suing people who got on his wrong side for numerous crazy reasons. He seems to enjoy it. And so far he has escaped any real consequences for nearly everything he has done including murder. A lot of what he does is also motivated by trying to stamp out any criticism- because as a narcissist, in his eyes, he can do no wrong ever. He probably feeds off all of the attention, whether positive or negative.

Some excel at it, and take great pride in it.

I mean, who else brings a party game to a CABINET MEETING?

No, because he's King of the Assholes. As long as he's # 1 in something, he's a happy A-hole.

19. 'Do not mock us': Trump scolded by Catholic bishops over AI pope picture

I am Jewish and I was offended by this picture




https://www.rawstory.com/trump-pope-picture/

Donald Trump was on the receiving end of a rebuke from the New York State Catholic Conference for posting an AI-rendered picture of himself as the pope just as the Congregation of Cardinals begins deliberations on the replacement for the successor of the late Pope Francis.

With the conclave of 133 electors scheduled to meet on May 7th, the president or one of his aides posted the picture on Truth Social which has set off a mini-firestorm even among some of his MAGA supporters with one Trump fan writing, "I love Trump but his post isnt funny. Pretty scary actually."

The Catholic Bishops of New York State agreed.

On X, formerly known as Twitter, they wrote on the @NYSCatholicConf account, "There is nothing clever or funny about this image, Mr. President. We just buried our beloved Pope Francis and the cardinals are about to enter a solemn conclave to elect a new successor of St. Peter."

They then added, "Do not mock us."
