Donald Trump the Megathread part II - threadbans and mod warnings in OP

It's more that they want the name of the specific campaign staff member who wrote or posted it on behalf of the campaign. I'm sure it's just for academic purposes, and not at all to post the name publicly so Trump supporters can direct hate mail and threats to them.

Are posters looking for me to post a controversial opinion on the Musk's Billed 'Conversation' and not that it was an interview. I don't have such an opinion.

And there is nothing controversial in the MSM reporting of it, for me to poke at. It was an event that happened. And I posted about it while the events were happening.

This is a tweet, that kind of rings true to me, and might clarify my opinion.

Absolutely.

Double standards, probably caused by the wish from the media to have a closer race... Which means ratings!

We saw it with Biden. Multiple editorials calling for him to step down.

With trump, statements are sanitised, or headlines slanted. No calls for him to step down.

Honestly, they don't help themselves by blatantly lying all the time, I'd pity someone who thinks that is some sort of journalistic or press freedom going on. It's all for the purpose of self-aggrandisement.

eh, as remembered by Trumpers the media was also cautious to dump that information online too, except Trumpers described it as a “cover up” by the media that they wouldn’t uncritically republish the contents of an uncertain laptop allegedly obtained by Rudy Giuliani through a blind computer repairman in Delaware

Trump has an opportunity to turn the whole ship around.

All he needs to do is listen to cogent advice and be disciplined, stay on message.

However, he is 78 years old narcissist, who will only listen to "yes" men and is imploding slowly.

3 months to go.

Everytime he opens his mouth, things get worse.

The Daily had a pod entitled "inside the three worst weeks of Trump's campaign".

All I could think of was...

I mean was anyone really expecting a 78 year old man who has been the same horrible person his entire life to suddenly become the next Abe Lincoln because someone confirmed his siege mentality for him?

Not for an old man with ASPD or something

The main feature of ASPD (previously known as ‘psychopathy’ or ‘sociopathy’) is a pattern of personality traits that involves the disregard of other people’s feelings or rights. People with ASPD may behave in ways that are considered deceitful or manipulative to get their own way (e.g., behaving in a very charming way in order to obtain something, and then indifferently once they have it [168]). The main characteristics of ASPD are described in Table 18.

Main characteristics of ASPD

Difficulty following rules or conforming to social norms with respect to lawful behaviour. People with ASPD may repeatedly be involved in behaviours that are grounds for arrest (e.g., destroying property, harassing others, stealing, or pursuing illegal occupations).

Behaving deceptively or manipulatively. People with ASPD may be deceptive or manipulative in order to get their own way (e.g., to obtain money, sex, or power).

A tendency for impulsive behaviour due to a failure to plan ahead. Decisions may be made on the spur of the moment, without forethought, and without consideration of the consequences for themselves or others. This may lead to sudden changes of jobs, residences, or relationships.

Irritability and aggression. A person with ASPD may be repeatedly involved in physical fights or assaults and may be aggressive towards other people.

Disregard for their own or other’s safety. For example, recurrent speeding, driving while intoxicated, multiple accidents, or high-risk sex.

Consistent and extreme irresponsibility. For example, irresponsible work behaviour, such as long periods of unemployment despite several job opportunities, abandonment of jobs without a plan for getting another, or repeated unexplained absences from work. Financial irresponsibility may include acts such as defaulting on debts and failing to provide child support.

The absence of remorse for the consequences of their actions. People with ASPD tend to provide superficial excuses for having hurt, mistreated, or stolen from someone. They may blame the victims of their actions for being foolish, helpless, or deserving their fate. People with ASPD may have difficulty showing empathy towards other people or remorse for their behaviour and may instead focus on self-interests.
