He's weak, but he's also vengeful & impulsive. The fact that he's vulnerable to manipulation also does not bode well for our country. It makes him a weak negotiator & weakens us on the world stage. https://youtu.be/2ajp_-U1b8c

Trump is surrounded by evil players who know how to manipulate the vengeful idiot to achieve their aims.

nonabonita.bsky.social•24 days ago

I want to believe this. But I'm still having a hard time believing he doesn't know what he's doing. They've been strategizing and purposely creating chaotic distractions for years. "Throw it against the wall, see what sticks then bog down the courts on the stuff we want."

janelebak.bsky.social•24 days ago

He's also got the tactics of an abuser. eg, "If some country won' take back the people we're deporting, we'll just create an eternal holding tank at Guantanamo, and then it's YOUR FAULT they're suffering. You could have prevented this!" It's a bad situation.

Just like all the other weakmen of #EastBloc

eainsaunt.bsky.social•24 days ago

We knew this but still they elected him. The insanity of it all.

aakons.bsky.social•24 days ago

He gets suggestions and he acts without thinking…

krby1.bsky.social•24 days ago

The Democrats look election to election having no specific long term goals.
The GOP has planned this decades in advance, and see it as a war, not unrelated individual goals.

krby1.bsky.social•24 days ago

He is weak in that the highest bidder wins. Not the Nation or our Constitution.
Words will not break him.

Actions will. His support, such as the HF, must be broken.

fastjo57.bsky.social•24 days ago

Then it’s high time each individual push every button possible on him. Drive him completely mad and insane to the point he self implodes.

stonebuddha21.bsky.social•24 days ago

There’s a whole set of people that think an angry shouting man is a strong one when the opposite is true. We’ve lost our way.

bopstyle.bsky.social•24 days ago

Trump will do anything to look good on TV. If DEMs understand, they can use this as the tip of their spear . I'd be presser friendly with a chart on failure in less than a week on Project 2025 implementation . Maddow did that last night and was hilarious!

paulatreidesno7.bsky.social•24 days ago

Weak and incredibly stupid. I doubt there's any muscle under all that fat.

dlp2pgh.bsky.social•24 days ago

The challenge to Trump is not from Democrats, it is from his oligarch bosses. He's already delivered them all he has to offer.

dlp2pgh.bsky.social•24 days ago

The path has been cleared for Putin to swallow Ukraine and to move forward, and the same goes for Gaza/Lebanon/West Bank. All they need from Trump now is the circus act, but that will get old quick.

kastero.bsky.social•24 days ago

Every one, who needs to rely on lies to the extend that Trump does in order to mislead people, is weak. But it´s at the same time a strengh to be able to change the narratives accordingly, so most people never even discover the fraud.
Putin is a champ in this practice.

Governing by golf cart will be his undoing...

How does one make a bomb with condoms?

I love this for Karoline Leavitt.

The strength of our democracy hinges on what we choose to remember or forget. https://realmsofmemory.com.

He is mentally weak because of this:

jockeymom.bsky.social•24 days ago

Let’s talk about the 4.7 million ballots thrown out in last election?? I’d like to know

annecw.bsky.social•24 days ago

His supported by his entire party and by right-wing extremists at the Heritage Foundation and Federalist Society. He's not a lone actor in this moment. He is fully supported by millions.

klo2025.bsky.social•24 days ago

100%

And because of that, the entire country is in danger

badgalahad.bsky.social•24 days ago

Trump ultimately desires acceptance and affection, from men. Not women. His father was the impression on him and getting love, acceptance was probably an unfulfilled, one-way transaction. Its his "Rosebud"...for those that get the reference.

mpdem.bsky.social•24 days ago

He’s a fat pig from hell

dcinmd.bsky.social•24 days ago

And 2.0 Trump has zero adults in the room this go around. 2.0 is a bunch of circus freaks.

futbolsound.bsky.social•24 days ago

This has been said about Trump now for nearly a decade and remains true. Hillary rightly said he could be baited with a tweet, & yet, here he is, in the most powerful office, surrounded by billionaires & a captured court. Exposing that fragility has, up to now, been the real failure.

krby1.bsky.social•24 days ago

It’s going to come down to breaking his support network, such as the Heritage Foundation.

The Democrats let it get to this point by not doing things such as having RBG retire earlier, no real long-term strategic planning.

danielwbrody.bsky.social•24 days ago

Yeah I mean even now plenty of people in positions of power could be doing more to stop him and just don’t. What are they waiting for? Why are his nominees just sailing through at this point? I’ll believe he’s weak when I see Dems take advantage of his weakness. But they aren’t.

boomer40.bsky.social•24 days ago

He hates himself and takes it out on us
