Priorities. Criminals let loose to kill and destroy our 'GREAT' country while his friend Putin basically does the same (but actually worse) in Ukraine.New motto. "Make the world Worse again." I hate this man. I wish he would ....(won't say, or he'll knock on my door and arrest me.)
Mago is devil in Hungarian!! Just saying, they've elected Satan and his minions. Thanks to the religious right and brainwashing Gen Z. The only question that remains is can we take our nation back??
They admitted to rigging the election, so we’re never really going to know how many votes he actually got, but yeah, we’re screwed until we can stop this in its tracks.
The article discusses the lie Trump propagated about ending the war in Ukraine within 24 hours. This reflects his complete disregard for reality, his manipulative tactics, and his sociopathic tendencies. His repeated promises to resolve the Ukraine conflict quickly are a classic example of a narcissistic leader who values control and dominance over human lives and geopolitical stability. The lack of follow-through—despite the claims that he would easily solve the conflict—demonstrates the utter emptiness behind his words.
Trump's Sociopathic Nature:
Psychiatric Analysis: Trump’s inability to follow through on his promises, such as ending the war in Ukraine, reflects his pathological narcissism and grandiosity. Sociopaths often present themselves as all-knowing and superior but fail to live up to their claims because they lack the ability to engage in realistic problem-solving. They operate on a sense of entitlement, assuming others will bend to their will based on charm and manipulation. Trump's comment about knowing "all the players" and how he'd "get them in the room" is a clear indication of his disconnected understanding of geopolitics and unchecked ego.
Psychological Behavior: Trump's disregard for the lives lost in Ukraine, despite his empty promises to resolve the situation, suggests a lack of empathy—a core trait of sociopaths. His focus on self-interest and self-aggrandizement, with no regard for the consequences of his decisions on real people, reveals the extent of his moral bankruptcy. The refusal to help after abandoning the Kurds, the Afghan withdrawal, and his inability to help Afghan refugees shows a pattern of negligence that endangers vulnerable populations for political expediency.
Manipulation Tactics: Trump's use of emotional manipulation—by promising to end wars and solve global crises in record time—preys on the public's emotional state and desperation for leadership. This tactic is often used by fascists and authoritarian figures, who understand that repetition of lies, even blatant ones, can eventually sway public opinion and suppress critical thinking. This is classic fascist propaganda: The emotional pull of the "strongman" who claims to have the answers but is incapable of fulfilling those promises.
Putin's Influence and Trump's Allegiance:
Trump's admiration for Putin and his refusal to oppose him in any meaningful way reveals a deep moral conflict. Trump’s alignment with Putin, despite Russia’s autocratic policies and aggression, underscores his alignment with authoritarian regimes. This is not about America's interests—it’s about Trump's ego and his desire to associate with powerful figures, regardless of the human cost.
Trump's policies, especially in terms of foreign diplomacy, often reflect a narrow, self-serving agenda, rather than a strategy that serves the people of the United States. His inability to act against Russia or help Ukraine demonstrates his complicity in furthering global instability.
The Manson Family Comparison:
The comparison to the Manson Family is apt. Just as Charles Manson used manipulation and psychological control to coerce individuals into committing horrific acts, Trump uses rhetoric and emotional appeals to rally his supporters to support his dangerous, self-serving policies. Both exhibit an all-consuming egotism that prioritizes personal power over the well-being of others. The dangerous influence of a leader like Trump is amplified by his sociopathic tendencies and lack of empathy, which makes him prone to dangerous, ill-informed decisions that affect entire nations.
Books on Fascism, Propaganda, and Psychological Manipulation:
To better understand how fascism, propaganda, and psychological manipulation work—especially in the context of Trump's presidency—here are some critical books and sources:
"The Authoritarian Personality" by Theodor W. Adorno
Examines the psychology of authoritarianism and how such figures exploit people's vulnerabilities for control.
"The Origins of Totalitarianism" by Hannah Arendt

Conclusion:
What Trump has done with Ukraine is a clear example of manipulative propaganda used to generate emotional responses from the public. His promises to end the conflict within 24 hours are unsubstantiated and represent an ego-driven approach to international relations. The sociopathic behaviors he displays are dangerous, and his alignment with authoritarian figures like Putin only reinforces the parallels to fascist regimes that exploit fear, misinformation, and psychological manipulation to seize control.
If we are to combat fascism and authoritarianism, we need to approach the situation with critical thinking, intellectual rigor, and a deep understanding of psychological manipulation and propaganda. The intellectual resources and scholarship provided above will help us understand and confront the dangerous trajectory we are on.
I think he thought that he could get a deal with putin for some land in Ukraine in exchange for defunding support for Ukraine. I think he's that crazy.
Trump is like the kid sitting across from you in school--at test time- trying to read your answers as he has not clue to the performance metrics he was to learn-- He was too busy being the class clown and the antagonist to every girl in range!
I agree completely with your assertions, yet I can't comprehend why sooo many people line up for him like lemmings on a cliff! I've almost convinced myself that I'm so out of touch with the American electorate and the population in general (having not lived conUS since 1983 but I currently live in Puerto Rico since 1986) that there's something I'm not seeing, but is blatantly obvious to everyone else. Or maybe the statesiders have been chugging Kool-Aid for the last 40 years or so, and now is when it's catching up to them. Any ideas? Native New Yorker

Except for like the promise that he would release all of his convicted Jan. 6th fanatical brownshirts like Stewart Rhodes and Enrique Tarrio to wreak havoc on those who would be our protectors.
But even then he said that he would go on a Case by case basis and not everyone would be released and what did he do? He just did a blanket pardon full pardon for all of them even the ones that beat up police put them in the hospital gouge them hit them with baseball bats and flag poles. He needs his personal Army out to do his bidding. That's all that amounts to
Anyone who believes a word from that sack of crap is even a bigger pile of crap than he is. He will only take care of the billionaires and millionaires and screw the rest of us over just like he did the last time. Some people never learn

He pardoned the guy because he's somehow going to use his hacking abilities for his benefit. He doesn't do anything positive so to speak for anybody unless there's a gain in it for him somewhere. I'm unaware of the six deaths he was responsible for but once again that may be a talent that the Cheeto can put to use for his own benefit somewhere down the line.
Wait a minute...a gnat on a shelf lasts forever until you sweep it away. That's gonna be our mission...to sweep this orange turd into the crapper. I apologize preemptively to all denizens of crappers everywhere for wishing this insult to all living things on them.

I am so sick of everyone excusing him by saying “Well, he meant to say”. He’s the f^%#ing President. Words matter and not the word salad he spews on the daily. To be deciphered. He’s the leader of the free world for Christ sake. The fact that half (not a landslide) of the American people are ok with it proves beyond a shadow of a doubt the US definitely need an overhaul in education 🤦♀️🤬.
Is he really the leader of the free world? Biden was, but he turned over responsibility for the war in Ukraine to NATO because he knew Trump was incapable of leading the free world. Trump is only the leader of a few countries being bullied by dictators but mostly not even those. Do Putin, Kim, Xi, Orban, etc. look on Trump as their leader? I think not. He is nothing but a wannabe leader and the only thing he leads is a cult full of hypnotized zombies.
Exactly! I'm so tired of so many people making excuses and saying well that's not what he meant to say. I'm sorry if anybody else say Joe Biden played that game the Republicans would lose their effing Minds. He needs to be held to what he says and if that's not what he meant to say that he needs to learn how to speak correctly and clearly and concisely. I'm tired of people making excuses for that POS

The dangerous influence of a leader like Trump is amplified by his sociopathic tendencies and lack of empathy, which makes him prone to dangerous, ill-informed decisions that affect entire nations.

Conclusion:
What Trump has done with Ukraine is a clear example of manipulative propaganda used to generate emotional responses from the public. His promises to end the conflict within 24 hours are unsubstantiated and represent an ego-driven approach to international relations. The sociopathic behaviors he displays are dangerous, and his alignment with authoritarian figures like Putin only reinforces the parallels to fascist regimes that exploit fear, misinformation, and psychological manipulation to seize control.
If we are to combat fascism and authoritarianism, we need to approach the situation with critical thinking, intellectual rigor, and a deep understanding of psychological manipulation and propaganda. The intellectual resources and scholarship provided above will help us understand and confront the dangerous trajectory we are on.
Wait wait - half of those who voted. I forget how many million Americans did not even vote, but it was more than one or two. Those stay-at-homes with the exception of the ones whose votes were removed through suppression are the ones I simply cannot fathom.
Oh yeah I blame them for this mess on an equal level with Trump voters. “I can’t decide between them”…yes you can, grow up. “I’m going to sit it out to protest Gaza”…well thank God they have hopefully made permanent progress on that because I fully expect Trump to write a blank check to Israel with the advice “do whatever the hell you want in there” if they haven’t.
Of course because now nothing can be done. Where were the Dems on this. Caving because it might "look bad" to challenge such a farce. It's all about optics, you know /s
He is the leader of what USED to be part of the "free" world. Now the U.S. is a "fee" world nation, with the Dump and his cohorts glomming up most of those fees we all pay.
Well of course this piece of evil garbage is a liar and a traitor to everyone. He will go down in American History As The Worst Evil Thing That Ever Existed. He wants to hurt people not help them unless you’re The January 6 Evil SOBS Criminals like him.
They remember. They just don’t care. They won’t hold him to any promises. They love him as a vehicle for their hate, anger, and frustration. Trump is serving their personal interests.
Same here. Their fight is a just fight...to keep that murderous Putin from trying to rebuild the Russian Empire. He wants back all the land held by Tsarist Russia before the 1917 Revolution. Heck, he wants Alaska, too. Let's hope TrumPutin doesn't decide to turn us over to him.
Trump would rather have more innocent people dying if that would get more money and power into his grasp. Our enemies know exactly how to manipulate him and are just working out how to extract as much value from him as possible before betraying him at the very end once his use is up and when he will be unable to retaliate.
“On day one”… yep, instead he pardoned insurrectionists.
Priorities. Criminals let loose to kill and destroy our 'GREAT' country while his friend Putin basically does the same (but actually worse) in Ukraine.New motto. "Make the world Worse again." I hate this man. I wish he would ....(won't say, or he'll knock on my door and arrest me.)
I think it’s more like “MASA” Make America Suck Again.
Mago is devil in Hungarian!! Just saying, they've elected Satan and his minions. Thanks to the religious right and brainwashing Gen Z. The only question that remains is can we take our nation back??
They admitted to rigging the election, so we’re never really going to know how many votes he actually got, but yeah, we’re screwed until we can stop this in its tracks.
MUGA Lets make Ukraine great again and destroy the Weapons of Mass Distractions - Putin is a front to scare children at night- giving them Brain Rott
I wish he would croak.
The article discusses the lie Trump propagated about ending the war in Ukraine within 24 hours. This reflects his complete disregard for reality, his manipulative tactics, and his sociopathic tendencies. His repeated promises to resolve the Ukraine conflict quickly are a classic example of a narcissistic leader who values control and dominance over human lives and geopolitical stability. The lack of follow-through—despite the claims that he would easily solve the conflict—demonstrates the utter emptiness behind his words.
Trump's Sociopathic Nature:
Psychiatric Analysis: Trump’s inability to follow through on his promises, such as ending the war in Ukraine, reflects his pathological narcissism and grandiosity. Sociopaths often present themselves as all-knowing and superior but fail to live up to their claims because they lack the ability to engage in realistic problem-solving. They operate on a sense of entitlement, assuming others will bend to their will based on charm and manipulation. Trump's comment about knowing "all the players" and how he'd "get them in the room" is a clear indication of his disconnected understanding of geopolitics and unchecked ego.
Psychological Behavior: Trump's disregard for the lives lost in Ukraine, despite his empty promises to resolve the situation, suggests a lack of empathy—a core trait of sociopaths. His focus on self-interest and self-aggrandizement, with no regard for the consequences of his decisions on real people, reveals the extent of his moral bankruptcy. The refusal to help after abandoning the Kurds, the Afghan withdrawal, and his inability to help Afghan refugees shows a pattern of negligence that endangers vulnerable populations for political expediency.
Manipulation Tactics: Trump's use of emotional manipulation—by promising to end wars and solve global crises in record time—preys on the public's emotional state and desperation for leadership. This tactic is often used by fascists and authoritarian figures, who understand that repetition of lies, even blatant ones, can eventually sway public opinion and suppress critical thinking. This is classic fascist propaganda: The emotional pull of the "strongman" who claims to have the answers but is incapable of fulfilling those promises.
Putin's Influence and Trump's Allegiance:
Trump's admiration for Putin and his refusal to oppose him in any meaningful way reveals a deep moral conflict. Trump’s alignment with Putin, despite Russia’s autocratic policies and aggression, underscores his alignment with authoritarian regimes. This is not about America's interests—it’s about Trump's ego and his desire to associate with powerful figures, regardless of the human cost.
Trump's policies, especially in terms of foreign diplomacy, often reflect a narrow, self-serving agenda, rather than a strategy that serves the people of the United States. His inability to act against Russia or help Ukraine demonstrates his complicity in furthering global instability.

I think he thought that he could get a deal with putin for some land in Ukraine in exchange for defunding support for Ukraine. I think he's that crazy.
Trump is like the kid sitting across from you in school--at test time- trying to read your answers as he has not clue to the performance metrics he was to learn-- He was too busy being the class clown and the antagonist to every girl in range!
Now We have Him
I agree completely with your assertions, yet I can't comprehend why sooo many people line up for him like lemmings on a cliff! I've almost convinced myself that I'm so out of touch with the American electorate and the population in general (having not lived conUS since 1983 but I currently live in Puerto Rico since 1986) that there's something I'm not seeing, but is blatantly obvious to everyone else. Or maybe the statesiders have been chugging Kool-Aid for the last 40 years or so, and now is when it's catching up to them. Any ideas? Native New Yorker
Amen!!

We all who’s he’s have another hamburger!
Did you say Ham-burglar? Freudian slip
I don't think it's a crime to wish a heart attack, stroke, aneurism or defenestration on someone
He better be held personally responsible for any criminal activities those insurrectionists commit while they should have been in prison!
Let’s hope. We’re going to have to make some noise.
Anyone who reported J6th participant criminals are in danger. I hope they arm themselves. Maybe justice will eventually be served.
Probably not in our lifetimes.
AGREED!!!!

one has been re arrested already
One is already back in jail.
Please elaborate, I would love to know more about this….
Me too!
A promise from the Orange Idiot has the shelf life of a gnat.
Except for like the promise that he would release all of his convicted Jan. 6th fanatical brownshirts like Stewart Rhodes and Enrique Tarrio to wreak havoc on those who would be our protectors.
But even then he said that he would go on a Case by case basis and not everyone would be released and what did he do? He just did a blanket pardon full pardon for all of them even the ones that beat up police put them in the hospital gouge them hit them with baseball bats and flag poles. He needs his personal Army out to do his bidding. That's all that amounts to
So about 1500 more domestic terrorists and their "generals" will now be roaming our streets. Wonderful.
I thought about Brian Sicknick's mother and said a prayer for her.
Did you REALLY believe what he says...after ALL this time????
Anyone who believes a word from that sack of crap is even a bigger pile of crap than he is. He will only take care of the billionaires and millionaires and screw the rest of us over just like he did the last time. Some people never learn

I have been wondering why he pardoned the drug dealer hacker, that was responsible for 6 deaths….
He pardoned the guy because he's somehow going to use his hacking abilities for his benefit. He doesn't do anything positive so to speak for anybody unless there's a gain in it for him somewhere. I'm unaware of the six deaths he was responsible for but once again that may be a talent that the Cheeto can put to use for his own benefit somewhere down the line.

Wait a minute...a gnat on a shelf lasts forever until you sweep it away. That's gonna be our mission...to sweep this orange turd into the crapper. I apologize preemptively to all denizens of crappers everywhere for wishing this insult to all living things on them.
Reminds me of a British slang saying for a a very weak or watery drink. - gnat's p. . s.
Donald would rather declare war on transgender people than bring an end to a war his handler started.
what a horrible human he is
I'm human. You're human. He is sub-human. His reptilian brain drives his every move.
Good point!
The first group that Hitlers Nazi;s went after were transgender people in the early 1930s........calling Orange Hitler......since Jan 20 is no longer a joke.

The dangerous influence of a leader like Trump is amplified by his sociopathic tendencies and lack of empathy, which makes him prone to dangerous, ill-informed decisions that affect entire nations.
Books on Fascism, Propaganda, and Psychological Manipulation:
To better understand how fascism, propaganda, and psychological manipulation work—especially in the context of Trump's presidency—here are some critical books and sources:

Conclusion:
What Trump has done with Ukraine is a clear example of manipulative propaganda used to generate emotional responses from the public. His promises to end the conflict within 24 hours are unsubstantiated and represent an ego-driven approach to international relations. The sociopathic behaviors he displays are dangerous, and his alignment with authoritarian figures like Putin only reinforces the parallels to fascist regimes that exploit fear, misinformation, and psychological manipulation to seize control.
If we are to combat fascism and authoritarianism, we need to approach the situation with critical thinking, intellectual rigor, and a deep understanding of psychological manipulation and propaganda. The intellectual resources and scholarship provided above will help us understand and confront the dangerous trajectory we are on.
He doesn't have a problem with LGBQT+. He is just playing on the fears and hate of MAga.
The only thing he cares about is money. ...grifts on every opportunity.
BTW, we need another party that will fight them. And where is Meidas on bringing attention to the voter irregularities. It's still not too late.
I am so sick of everyone excusing him by saying “Well, he meant to say”. He’s the f^%#ing President. Words matter and not the word salad he spews on the daily. To be deciphered. He’s the leader of the free world for Christ sake. The fact that half (not a landslide) of the American people are ok with it proves beyond a shadow of a doubt the US definitely need an overhaul in education 🤦♀️🤬.
Is he really the leader of the free world? Biden was, but he turned over responsibility for the war in Ukraine to NATO because he knew Trump was incapable of leading the free world. Trump is only the leader of a few countries being bullied by dictators but mostly not even those. Do Putin, Kim, Xi, Orban, etc. look on Trump as their leader? I think not. He is nothing but a wannabe leader and the only thing he leads is a cult full of hypnotized zombies.
Well, I mean that in titles only. Him being in charge of anything is like putting Warren Jeffs as head of the Girl Scouts.
💯💯💯🎯✌🏻💙
Exactly! I'm so tired of so many people making excuses and saying well that's not what he meant to say. I'm sorry if anybody else say Joe Biden played that game the Republicans would lose their effing Minds. He needs to be held to what he says and if that's not what he meant to say that he needs to learn how to speak correctly and clearly and concisely. I'm tired of people making excuses for that POS
The article discusses the lie Trump propagated about ending the war in Ukraine within 24 hours. This reflects his complete disregard for reality, his manipulative tactics, and his sociopathic tendencies. His repeated promises to resolve the Ukraine conflict quickly are a classic example of a narcissistic leader who values control and dominance over human lives and geopolitical stability. The lack of follow-through—despite the claims that he would easily solve the conflict—demonstrates the utter emptiness behind his words.
Trump's Sociopathic Nature:
Psychiatric Analysis: Trump’s inability to follow through on his promises, such as ending the war in Ukraine, reflects his pathological narcissism and grandiosity. Sociopaths often present themselves as all-knowing and superior but fail to live up to their claims because they lack the ability to engage in realistic problem-solving. They operate on a sense of entitlement, assuming others will bend to their will based on charm and manipulation. Trump's comment about knowing "all the players" and how he'd "get them in the room" is a clear indication of his disconnected understanding of geopolitics and unchecked ego.
Psychological Behavior: Trump's disregard for the lives lost in Ukraine, despite his empty promises to resolve the situation, suggests a lack of empathy—a core trait of sociopaths. His focus on self-interest and self-aggrandizement, with no regard for the consequences of his decisions on real people, reveals the extent of his moral bankruptcy. The refusal to help after abandoning the Kurds, the Afghan withdrawal, and his inability to help Afghan refugees shows a pattern of negligence that endangers vulnerable populations for political expediency.
Manipulation Tactics: Trump's use of emotional manipulation—by promising to end wars and solve global crises in record time—preys on the public's emotional state and desperation for leadership. This tactic is often used by fascists and authoritarian figures, who understand that repetition of lies, even blatant ones, can eventually sway public opinion and suppress critical thinking. This is classic fascist propaganda: The emotional pull of the "strongman" who claims to have the answers but is incapable of fulfilling those promises.
Putin's Influence and Trump's Allegiance:
Trump's admiration for Putin and his refusal to oppose him in any meaningful way reveals a deep moral conflict. Trump’s alignment with Putin, despite Russia’s autocratic policies and aggression, underscores his alignment with authoritarian regimes. This is not about America's interests—it’s about Trump's ego and his desire to associate with powerful figures, regardless of the human cost.
Trump's policies, especially in terms of foreign diplomacy, often reflect a narrow, self-serving agenda, rather than a strategy that serves the people of the United States. His inability to act against Russia or help Ukraine demonstrates his complicity in furthering global instability.
The Manson Family Comparison:
The comparison to the Manson Family is apt. Just as Charles Manson used manipulation and psychological control to coerce individuals into committing horrific acts, Trump uses rhetoric and emotional appeals to rally his supporters to support his dangerous, self-serving policies. Both exhibit an all-consuming egotism that prioritizes personal power over the well-being of others. The dangerous influence of a leader like Trump is amplified by his sociopathic tendencies and lack of empathy, which makes him prone to dangerous, ill-informed decisions that affect entire nations.

Well you know he’s not going to be an advocate for education
Wait wait - half of those who voted. I forget how many million Americans did not even vote, but it was more than one or two. Those stay-at-homes with the exception of the ones whose votes were removed through suppression are the ones I simply cannot fathom.
Oh yeah I blame them for this mess on an equal level with Trump voters. “I can’t decide between them”…yes you can, grow up. “I’m going to sit it out to protest Gaza”…well thank God they have hopefully made permanent progress on that because I fully expect Trump to write a blank check to Israel with the advice “do whatever the hell you want in there” if they haven’t.
the 49.9% of the sh*t for brains that voted for this tool need a lobotomy and an enema, both at the same time.
Of course because now nothing can be done. Where were the Dems on this. Caving because it might "look bad" to challenge such a farce. It's all about optics, you know /s
He is the leader of what USED to be part of the "free" world. Now the U.S. is a "fee" world nation, with the Dump and his cohorts glomming up most of those fees we all pay.
same
9 million didn't vote. His win was less than half the country. Our responsibility is to study about those running and then to vote!
That was meant for Kay Hartley????
Yes, are you the Democrat person I know here in Donaldsonville?
Carol Ppoley
This!!! Perfect analogy!
I'm astonished. No, really. Not.
Well of course this piece of evil garbage is a liar and a traitor to everyone. He will go down in American History As The Worst Evil Thing That Ever Existed. He wants to hurt people not help them unless you’re The January 6 Evil SOBS Criminals like him.
Well said. 👍💙
He is not to going to honor ANY of his promises. Thanks a lot Magats.
He DOES make promises to take away right, Healthcare, etc....why would you say he doesn't honor his promises??? Make sense.
💯💯🎯✌🏻💙
That's the problem. What country wants old people? Unless you're rich, the answer is none.
You obviously haven’t been listening.
Trump: all hat, no cattle. Rubio: no hat, no cattle.
I suspect the truth is he doesn't have a plan, he's just blowing hot air.
Correction: he has a concept of a plan 🥴
🤨🥴😂✌🏻💙
"Trumpery" is a synonym for balderdash, b*llshit, twaddle and nonsense. How was the English language so prescient?
They knew his family...
Liar, liar liar that’s all he knows
Naturally, he is the lier in chief. Guess people forgot about that or just love drama.
We are not surprised and his followers don’t even remember that he even said it.
which is why i love the MTN keeps receipts haha sigh sob.
They remember. They just don’t care. They won’t hold him to any promises. They love him as a vehicle for their hate, anger, and frustration. Trump is serving their personal interests.
They remember. They just never cared. 😢
Sadly, you're right.
Breaks my heart. There isn't a single honorable utter that comes out of that evil one's mouth. Praying for Ukraine.😭🩵🙏🩵
Same here. Their fight is a just fight...to keep that murderous Putin from trying to rebuild the Russian Empire. He wants back all the land held by Tsarist Russia before the 1917 Revolution. Heck, he wants Alaska, too. Let's hope TrumPutin doesn't decide to turn us over to him.
Trump would rather have more innocent people dying if that would get more money and power into his grasp. Our enemies know exactly how to manipulate him and are just working out how to extract as much value from him as possible before betraying him at the very end once his use is up and when he will be unable to retaliate.
The biggest pathological liar on the planet lied, someone tell his cult members. 🙌😇

I suspect many of them, deep-down, know this. They simply don't care.
You’re right.
