It's a feature, not a bug.

As a narcissist, he would never want someone who is smarter, and more eloquent than him That's why he is a failure from the get go. Narcissistic personality disorder is a mental health condition in which people have an unreasonably high sense of their own importance.

They need and seek too much attention and want people to admire them. People with this disorder may lack the ability to understand or care about the feelings of others.

Hi Ken, great work. 49yr old Brit here raising the money to get to Ukraine for training and to help in whatever way possible. Question, at what point does pushing through Gabbard become a threat to national security and an act of treason?
Obvs she makes Europe even more vulnerable. Cheers

Also known as YES men and women. This is going to get uglier.

ginwhy.bsky.social•107 days ago

Exactly!

kmacc07.bsky.social•107 days ago

Because they are YES men to him

Possibly but I believe that at least part of the motivation is to deliberately try to inflict maximal pain on the country he believes disrespected/insulted his fragile malignant narcissistic ego by ‘firing him’ 4 years ago.

Terrible picks so far but not in the least surprised - just sad

Trumps ego won’t let him nominate anyone competent because if they are competent, they will make him appear incompetent.

Boris Johnson tried in the UK and ended up destroying his own party.
But he made a really good fist of destroying the country with Brexit. All lies
If only the USA trump voters could’ve looked outside their bubble, evidence of right wing nationalists destructive plans and outcomes were there to see.

Trump voters are not interested in what is good for the country or even themselves when voting, it is about expressing grievance and/or hate for some perceived wrong. Other voters are true Republicans who are wealthy enough that tax cuts make a big difference by tens/hundreds of millions.

Same as UK.

WORD OF THE YEAR FOR 2024:

KAKISTOCRACY

serenityseeker4u.bsky.social•107 days ago

Is anyone really surprised? He told us almost every day what his plans were.

lauraesposito.bsky.social•107 days ago

Confusion, create more chaos and help deflect attention from even darker events unfolding. This my fellow Americans is autocratic dictatorship unfolding while ya just get stupider.

femmeferocity.bsky.social•107 days ago

He played opposite day last time too. Every pick was counterintuitive and destruction was the whole goal.
