No one with normal thought processes, and certainly no "stable genius", vacillates so quickly, so absurdly, between compliment and condemnation as Mr. Trump does. There can be no question that he is mentally ill. Does he expect people not to notice? Is he even aware of his behavior? This would be different matter were Mr. Trump not our President. But he is.
Trump Gets Last Laugh On UK, Theresa May
- Thread starter AAAintheBeltway
- Start date
The US didn't rescue the UK from any war. This is some mythical take on WW2 that apparently some of you were taught in school.
Mr. Trump continues vacillating. Now it is his sensitivity and understanding of women re Roe v Wade, where not many hours ago, the overturning of Roe v Wade was to be a litmus test for his new Supreme Court pick. Where it was Dear Vladimir, now it's, "I may ask that the hackers be expedited." (Of course no one but Putin and translators will be in that room when he meets with "Dear Vladimir"! If ever there were a President requiring a witness, this is it.)
Why, oh why, does he do this. Why does he create chaos wherever he goes and ruin the lives of many he touches. I think I know.
It's his totally out of control narcissism. He must be constantly in the public eye, and constantly liked. He must sound like a jackass one moment and appear presidential and dignified the next. Those he interacts with harbor a range of views. He his forced, therefore, to vacillate hither and yon with no real rudder to his life. To grab a headline, he must say horrible things about a person one moment; then in the next, he must compliment the target of his uncomplimentary remarks. He must lie constantly to cover his inconsistent statements of the previous twenty-four hours. And, he must be in charge and at the focus point of all attention. He must be seen with important people -- the queen, prime ministers, rich people, beautiful women -- anyone whose feigned obeisance reassure him. And above all, he must be liked by his "base." His world depends mightily on their chants of "lock her up" and "no collusion."
Anyone who will not feed his insatiable ego becomes "low energy", "little", "a loser." Those that cannot defend themselves become fodder for his demagoguery. They are the enemy; his brown skined "rapists" and "murderers" ; the reason you have no job. Anyone in the way -- contractors, day laborers , banks -- will get a call from his lawyer. Every waking moment is controlled by the need to be on top, to be winning. This is more important than money. Money is only a means to get attention. So he brags about money, even money he has borrowed, even tainted money from known thieves! Money, and the attention it can buy, is more important than even the love of a beautiful woman. His wife becomes a showpiece, a distant statue. She's there only as a symbol of how wonderful he is. In his subconscious mind, he is all that matters; he is vastly more important than the welfare of the Nation he imagines he is leading. He is at the epicenter of his imaginary universe. Sadly, he hasn't a clue. He is a very sick man.

Obviously you have never negotiated any serious or important deals before.
His style is unique for sure.
But I’ll take a tough, unpredictable but fair Trump over a pleasant but perpetually anally raped empty suit like OZero.
America certainly helped.
Ironically it’s the Ruskies who saved the Brits ass and now the leftists are trying to papier-mâché them while cozying up with the Krauts who, ya know, started all the world wars.

Yes sorry, I forgot how great they were doing on their own. That's gratitude for you. I was just out at Arlington Cemetery and there are a lot of dead GIs who would have liked to have been notified that their sacrifices would not actually be required.
I can't see the details in that last picture above.
That must be a picture of the British troops landing in the South Pacific to help the Americans as we landed in Europe to help them.
I could be wrong.

Hitler mistimed his advance into Russia, caught in winter but eventually would have defeated the Russians if it were not for the USA. Our involvement divided and thinned Hitler's troops on multiple fronts as he was forced to prepare for a channel invasion as well as renewed pressure on all fronts.
Before we entered....
Russia was in full retreat, scorched earth policy.
He had the Brittish pushed out of Europe on retreat in Africa and basically cutoff isolated on their island.
Japan brought the full weight and resolve of the USA into the war.
They all would be speaking Deutsche and China would be speaking Japanese if it weren't for us.

Victor Hanson's talk about his book on WW2 gives a good summary about how Japan and Germany misjudged the United States reactions to events which led to their certain defeat once we entered the war.
