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.

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 1 month ago

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

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 month ago

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

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

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago

Upside down even.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

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

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

Such a baby.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 month ago

Nothing is too petty for that skidmark.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago

Man, what a prick!

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 1 month ago

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

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