Funny, clever post. Reconfirms what we already know about Trump, but still, this take on Trump's take on crying provides an insightful window into his lizard brain character.

Also, Chris, your post here reminds me of this very funny and insightful oldie but goodie from a few months into Trump's presidency: "In Trump's White House, Everything's Coming in 'Two Weeks'" -- https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-06-06/in-trump-s-white-house-everything-s-coming-in-two-weeks#xj4y7vzkg

It’s too bad for DeSantis that truth plays no role at all in Republican politics.

Also, I had tears in my eyes at the end of A Man Called Otto. Damn you, Tom Hanks!

Further evidence what a psychologically fucked-up black hole El Jefe del Merde A Loco is.

RE: Trump's Dump on the Wannabe-Mussolini

Per Tim Miller's tweet: "Now Trump claiming Ron was crying when he asked for his endorsement. 'sir if you endorse me I'll win, please sir'"

Not sure Ron Meatball would have used that phraseology unless he was a frat boy at Harvard, as in "Sir, may I have another, Sir?" when being paddled during pledging.

I’m a horrible person, kinda dim, like to shop at Wal Mart, ok with Waffle House, like country music, read now and then, and in the β€˜then’ zone, voted reliably Democratic. Horrible because in the β€˜tomorrow’ window, no way can I or will I vote for Biden. See, now you know how myopic and Neanderthal politically I am. I’ve been around the block a few times, 73.5 years of age, and I think I know what works and what does not. One upbeat note, I know you’d want me as a personal trainer because I know also what works and does not work for building muscle, slashing adipose tissue, and my focus for my clients are bodyweight exercises, walking carrying weights in each hand, pushing a sled and favoring all dumbbell work. If you can’t like me for my political thoughts, you will appreciate me as I can steer you in the right direction for a stronger and healthier body.

The many tells of his lies. I can hardly stand to look at him or listen to him, as he’s just so despicable. Good Lord, the first time he used a teleprompter I was aghast at what he sounded like. It never got any better, either. His rambling, off the cuff, speeches are so filled with lies, at times sing songy. No, just no. My tears started flowing back on election night 2016, along with many in this country.
