Of course. If it's not about him he does not give a single shit. Except to rage about how he's not the center of attention.

Nothing is too petty for that skidmark.

When do we start flying them upside-down? Are we there yet?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 21 hours ago

Was thinking of getting one just to do that a few weeks ago.

Some american flags in L.A. are probably currently on fire. I wonder if Trump is going to claim all Californians are terrorists who proudly burn the flag and hate America.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 hours ago

he fucking would too. he's such a piece of shit.

If Trump was anywhere close to as strong and admirable as he claims to believe himself to be, he'd freely offer respect and honor to Carter, secure in the knowledge he had plenty to spare.

But instead he's a pathetic, weak, frightened child, terrified at the thought that someone else might get some respect when he so desperately needs it himself.

Trump exhibits zero-sum thinking- if someone else is getting something, that means he is losing something. Thus if Carter is getting respect, Trump thinks he is losing respect.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 23 hours ago

Ironically, I lost respect for him because he lacks empathy, but we are the minority apparently.

Respect is not a zero sum game.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 20 hours ago

The sum of all respect Trump will get from me is, at most, zero.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 day ago

Such a baby.

I'm flying the flag at half staff for the next four years.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 22 hours ago

Upside down even.

There’s nothing Trump loves more than showing off what an asshole he is.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 day ago (1 children)

An unwashed, distended asshole.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 23 hours ago

...a flaccid, prolapsed, orange tube sock of an anus.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago

Deplorable.

[–] [email protected] 56 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Constantly proving what a massive piece of old fat shit he is and somehow people either don't care, make excuses for him or just don't see it.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 day ago

I assure you, they see it. That's why they like him.

What do you call Trump's dick at half mast?

-an innie
