One of the things (among many) that enrages me about that motherf-er in the White House is

[MIButterfly]

he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth; he's never had to do an honest day's work; he squandered his inheritance due to his own incompetence; he's rarely ever been held accountable for anything; he has failed upward his entire life due to other people covering up for him or bailing him out and yet he has the audacity to constantly piss and moan about how unfairly he's being and has been mistreated.

In the immortal words of President Biden, "Will you shut up man?"

[MustLoveBeagles]

1. He's the biggest whiner I've ever seen

[MIButterfly]

2. It's tiresome and totally unbecoming to any person let alone the President of the United States!

Wah wah wah.

[MustLoveBeagles]

5. No argument here

I wish he would shut up.

[homegirl]

23. Every time

notice is taken of his addiction to Junk Food/Fast Food I am reminded that Donald Trump has never eaten a meal that wasn't served to him!

[The Roux Comes First]

3. His Entire Persona , Which You Nicely Encapsulated, Never Any Accountability, Never an Accomplishment of His Own Effort

Is truly astonishing.

I believe I have mollusks here, preying on my Hostas, with more redeeming features!

[MIButterfly]

4. I believe you're right!

[eppur_se_muova]

15. Well, sauteed in butter, some of them might be quite likable. Trmp, on the other hand .... nt

[Walleye]

6. I wish those senators questioning the Republican appointees would use that, these assholes think talking over

Somebody is winning the argument. They don’t understand The rules and they don’t follow them These guys are all billionaires, They don’t understand that anybody has any power over them at all.

[Aristus]

7. Seriously.

He inherited 400 million dollars. And he thinks life is unfair.

Poor baby…

If I had inherited a fortune like that, I would have invested it wisely, and then spent the rest of my life enjoying the privileges that come with it. No hatred. No grievance. Just contentment.

[MIButterfly]

9. All that and I would gladly give a good amount to causes I believe in to help make the world a better place

I would love to be able to donate more than my little $20.00 and $25.00 here and there; then I would be to be able to make a real difference.

And I'd still have enough left over to invest wisely and enjoy the privileges that come with it.

[Deuxcents]

28. He's squandering our treasury and treasures as fast as he can and still he's miserable.

[Skittles]

8. reminds me of a quote

"He respects himself so much he relieves others of the duty of having to respect him at all."

[MIButterfly]

10. I love it!

[eppur_se_muova]

16. Wonderful quote, would love to know the story behind it. nt

[Skittles]

17. I believe I first encountered it in SPY magazine back in the day

not sure whose quote it is........ I remember thinking it accurately described my boss at the time.

[calimary]

19. Love this!

Who said that?

[Skittles]

27. alas, I do not know

(see post # 17)

[calimary]

29. Oh MAN. I LOVED "Spy" magazine!

Discovered it as a young teen, and loved it til it finally gave up and disappeared.

[Skittles]

30. yep

I read SPY and High Times (I was never a big pot smoker but a bf subscribed and it had some great stuff!

[somaticexperiencing]

11. if you look to the TV show that seems to have convinced people he is such a good businessman, what did he

ever do on this show but FIRE PEOPLE!

That's all he does now.

Makes no product.
Has no skill.
Only destructive.
Lousy taste - they had to completely redo his office before they could do the show.
Terrible manager and administrator.
Like you said, never an honest day of work in his life.

All he can do is fire people.

[MIButterfly]

12. I blame the producers of The Apprentice for this national nightmare

They cleaned him up and made him look like a smart, successful businessman which he very clearly was not. My understanding is that they had to do several takes and then splice and dice them to make him not look like the complete and total idiot that he was. And still is, only worse.

[Totally Tunsie]

13. I've said the same all along.

Mark Burnett can go to hell for all the ill he brought forward into this world.

[MIButterfly]

14. Amen!

[3catwoman3]

26. Damn right!

It’s maddening that so many of our idiot countrymen fell for this conman’s bullshit.

If breathing required intelligent thought, a whole lotta Americans would be in a whole lotta trouble real quick. Too bad breathing is a reflex.

[eppur_se_muova]

18. Reportedly, Trmp never fired anyone to their face. He recorded it alone; then they recorded the reaction shots later.

He didn't like firing people in person. That's why so many in his maladministration have been fired by Tweet, Xitter, or press conference when Trmp was nowhere near them. I believe the appropriate expression is "gutless".

The producers tried to plan the show around whoever seemed to be winning at the time, while allowing for other possibilities. Trmp would fire the people the producers thought were most qualified and they had to scramble to rationalize why that was 'good' for the "plot" (there's a double-entendre!) of the show.

[MIButterfly]

24. I thought the producers actually picked the winner

and DJT had nothing to do with it. I was under the impression that most so-called "reality shows" did it that way, at least the ones that were contests.

[eppur_se_muova]

25. This was from an excerpt of the producer's (whathisname's) book. They had a hard time restraining Trmp.

He didn't follow scripts well (SURPRISE !!), as they realized on. I'll have to read the whole book someday.

[bmichaelh]

20. 413 million

AP reported that Trump got about 413 million from his father.

https://apnews.com/article/0452d29cd2564eaf97605ab90acc3a67

By age 18, he made more money than most Americans make in their lifetime because he was on his father's payroll.

Would he had succeeded if he had started with humble beginnings, probably not.

For example, Steve Jobs was adopted into a middle-class family.

[Totally Tunsie]

34. History will repeat itself with Barron.

Too much, too soon, no paternal example worth emulating, and not an ounce of scruples.

We, unfortunately, will have trumps in our lives for decades.

[canetoad]

21. I really get what you're saying

What puzzles me is his total lack of insight.

He is so obviously needy yet he cannot understand WHY he is disliked. Most *normal people who really cared about being admired would assess their behaviour and accept that maybe they are not performing as other humans would expect them to.

This is the danger of the extreme form of narcissism that trump exhibits. Craving admiration while not being able to recognise admirable traits.

[struggle4progress]

22. Maybe he could tie some cinderblocks around his neck and jump off a high bridge

[nuxvomica]

31. He's like some sort of unconscionable experiment

Like some rogue band of scientists sought to create the most noxious outcome of capitalism by raising a child in a box, giving him everything he wanted and teaching him nothing, not honor, or decency or math or science, or anything where the learning might require even the tiniest bit of effort. Not even how to balance a checkbook or compare the measurements of different things.

[area51]

35. Evergreen:

[drmeow]

32. What enrages me the most

is that he is still alive.

[MIButterfly]

33. You know what they say: Only the good die young
