Donald Trump told Axios on Sunday that he's "low keying it" when it comes to negotiations with Iran, and that he's certain it will all "work out" in his favor.

This is what happens when an adult has never had to work a day in his life and never faced any consequences for his disgusting attitudes and behaviors. No one around him is there to tell him he's a fucking moron and would be a total nobody if it wasn't for his Daddy's money.

He really thinks he has special genes and truly magical qualities. I so wish there were people in the room that would just start openly mocking him without any fear.

Just openly laughing in his face at his grandiose claims of him being special or having special knowledge or ability in anything. Including, or maybe especially, things so near and dear to his heart like his supposed knowledge about construction or architecture or taste.

Oh but he works incredibly hard: to maintain the illusion that makes him appear better than he is and he works hard to convince himself of it. Lack of work does not lead a person to become like him, rather the lack of validation of parents or guardian. I imagine that daddy business man only ever praised him for certain accomplishments if they aligned with the father's own priorities and ignored his child otherwise in his needs. He evolved this way to optimise for the benefit of his relationship with his parents. It's a tale as old as time of daddy issues.

Breaking this illusion by the means of which you wrote, in what it is that makes him superior, will only lead to his suffering and will not bring about any constructive change but I understand that this is something you desire: his reign leaves us all feeling with a lack of justice and accountability.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
