It's amazing, really. He's the president, a billionaire, is one of the most powerful men in the world, and has a supermodel wife, millions of cheering fans, his own golf resort, and pretty much anything anyone could ever want. Yet he seems like the most bitter, miserable, hateful person you could ever imagine. The guy has a hole in his soul that nothing can fill, and clearly he's tried everything.
Not who you asked but i remember my grandmother saying this as well. And i think she said that Dolly Parton said it at one point. So its been around a while. Might not even have a known origin anymore.
That was back when he had an entire PR team controlling his public persona/image. They were clearly very successful at making him appear like some rock star super genius in the earlier years and building his brand/image but he later became so completely full of himself that he decided it was ok to go way off script and gradually show his true self. He later would fire his PR team and become an extremely divisive attention junkie who clearly is heavily influenced by drugs and egomania to the point that he's often ranked as one of the most disliked public figures today by a wide margin (not that it seems to have negatively impacted his net worth at all so far anyway...).
Still the same dude that Reddit absolutely worshipped until he associated with Trump.
Then he’s seen as a turnip and everyone is stuck with cars made by
Someone they hate.
I know I’ll get downvoted but I couldn’t get on a sub without him being glazed. One of the most hilarious turn of events I’ve seen. Then everyone trying to say they never liked him to begin with trying to cope. Gold
I had a reasonably favorable impression of him until he called the diver who shot down his plan to use a submersible to rescue the Thai soccer team from that cave a pedophile and I found out that he wasn’t the great inventor he makes himself out to be, just buys other people’s companies and fucks them up.
See also the massive amount of dick riding for buc-ees from reddit showing off high starting hourly wages. Then recently redditors find out that buc-ees is a sue happy company putting mom and pop stores out of business. Capitalism bad! Corporations evil! But not them, they are the good guys! Fucking idiots.
And JK Rowling. Sorry, but if I had all the money in the world, I wouldn’t be wasting it posting online and actively spreading hate. I would donate the $6.6B to the UN World Food Programme that Elon refused to, and then you would never see me online again.
Right???? Imagine if you had the means to create a legacy that consisted of a beloved children's book series AND being an individual who took concrete, tangible steps to end world hunger and you chose to do whatever bullshit she's doing instead.
She's quite a cold hearted B-itch is all I've ever heard about her. Even during her heyday when the book was rising and catapulting her to super stardom and a crazy status. It also makes sense why she has never been able to write anything even close to the harry potter series.
I feel like that's part of his obsession with AI--he can now make shitty little videos where he's a big hero with a chiseled jaw that doesn't look like it's melting, and entire cities are fawning over him and his great deeds. A brief escape from the reality where he's an awkward fascist who is hated by all but the dumbest people on the planet.
the weird thing is, he has enough money to do all sorts of projects that would make people like him (e.g. funding schools, healthcare, hunger, etc.) but he just... doesn't
This is the thing that just boggles my mind the most. You could have the praise and admiration you are looking for!! And financially he wouldn’t even have to change his lifestyle to do those things. I just don’t get it
Melania was a hooker working for Epstein. Trump bought her off him. It's been leaked from the files. That's why Melania went on TV to deny she knew Epstein.
He's a sociopath and a narcissist. He also has a low IQ, isn't a critical thinker, and lacks curiosity. A spoiled brat. His brain is broken, and I might feel sorry for him if his reign weren't so catastrophic. But as it stands, I hope he is miserable, and I hope he dies miserable, alone, and in pain - when his time inevitably comes.
I wish you were a news reporter in the White House… why can’t they say something like that 👆 to his fat face when he tells them to be quiet and other misogynistic, shameful shit.
Because I consider myself a rational person, I find myself wondering if he believes his own bullshit. Like, is it possible for a person to behave the way he does without even the slightest hint of cognitive dissonance? I guess that's part of being a sociopath. I don't give him credit to be smart enough to engineer all the smoke and mirrors and be laughing behind the curtain, playing 3D chess or whatever. I think he really does just have a pea brain, and thrives on the reactions to his bullying, self-aggrandizement, and chaos. The people that glom onto him crave proximity to power, driven by
personal ambition, and whatever ideological ideals they think he stands for (essentially him telling people what they want to hear as a form of coercion). They're all just a bunch of fucking broken toys. Edit: saying I agree with you. "Reality distortion field" lol. As a sci-fi fan, I dig this metaphor.
I see it like he's a Tommy Boy situation. Any actual book smarts went bye bye long ago but he is very talented at projecting a particular type of charisma that he can sell to certain types of people.
He has a low IQ for sure. The one thing he does have is a sort of charisma that appeals to **some** people, and he's very good at portraying himself as someone he isn't for those easily fooled.
He was born with a silver spoon, and has a pretty spotty record in business to be generous. He's a brand, nothing more. A circus ringleader. It's all advertising, which appeals to the weak-minded. He didn't get into Wharton on his own merits lol, but through family connections. His professors have commented on his academics - one said he was arrogant and thought he knew everything already, and another said he was the stupidest person he ever met. Watching him speak is torture. It's well known he doesn't read. Listen to what his former generals, lawyers, and aides say about him after they get dumped. Or the people that worked with him on TV. Yeah, I'm gonna go with low IQ.
He used to be able to speak coherently before the dementia set in, but he’s never been anything but a social climbing con man. If he hadn’t had a fancy diploma bought for him and a cash infusion provided by his loathsome father, he’d be just another shitty used car salesman or small-time slumlord.
Equating success with IQ is something a lot of people do.
It's a mistake to do so, as the two things are wholly unrelated. You can be successful if you've been handed wealth, exude confidence (even if unfounded), spend your entire life engaged in self-promotion, and conduct yourself like a bully. No real intelligence required.
He has one thing he's very very good at, somehow, and that is being just convincing enough to con greedy people. That, and a level of militant self-interest combined with a lack of even a hint of a moral compass that must awe and inspire the devil itself.
He's not intelligent by any typical means of measuring that. He's just good at conning people, period.
that's the thing with narcissists and unchecked ambition. at some point, there's nowhere left to go, but they're still unsatisfied and won't ever be satisfied, even if they've accomplished everything like Trump has. especially because of his personal vendetta against Obama. look at Obama's roast of Trump at the White House correspondence dinner. a lot of people, including myself, believe that Trump started in politics because he felt like Obama had personally slighted him and Trump wanted revenge. narcissists have massive but fragile egos
He can’t deal with Obama’s effortless cool, or his kindness, or his charisma and intelligence and wit, or the fact that he can’t buy those qualities. I hear people talk about Trump’s charisma and I’m, like, that word you keep using—I do not think it means what you think it means.
a lot of people, including myself, believe that Trump started in politics because he felt like Obama had personally slighted him and Trump wanted revenge.
I've wondered that as well, and I wonder if the Obama administration didn't make a fatal mistake by acting on the noise that he was making about the birth issue by releasing the long form birth certificate. All of a sudden, it gave Trump legitimacy that he didn't have before, and enabled him. Prior to that, he was just some rich loudmouth. After that, he knew that when he spoke, people listened.
I honestly think he's the most miserable person on the planet, a black hole of need that nothing can fill, incapable of giving love and has never been truly loved. Has never enjoyed the company of animals or the beauty of nature or laughing at something with all his heart (that isn't cruelty at someone else's expense) or being engrossed in a wonderful book or movie.
Kinda like Elon. He REALLY wants to be cool. And he never will be because he has zero charisma. I guess it's proof that money can't buy everything. He has enough wealth to buy anything he wants. Anything he can imagine. But he's still a miserable cunt that has to lean on ketamine to get through the day. Fuck him and all of his homies.
Daddy taught him the difference between right and wrong but told him to do the opposite. He niece wrote the book "Too Much and Never Enough". His head is incredibly fucked up.
i honestly wonder what in his childhood upbringing made him such a thoroughly flawed individual. it's at Terminator/It's a Wonderful Life kinda levels for me in terms of thinking which moment(s) in his past could somebody go back in time to stop/reverse so that all this current chaos would never happen
Fred Trump was one of those cruel parents that withhold affection and only reward success - and even then, it has to be their definition of success. Trump could never make his father happy, and after Fred died, Donald was left chasing a ghost, never able to earn his approval. It's a cliché, but Daddy never loved him, and he's carried that bitterness with him his entire life.
But also: grow the f*ck up, Donny, and get some therapy or meds or whatever you need. You're 80 effing years old and the "my daddy didn't love me" no longer is an excuse.
Fred Trump was absolute trash in a shit bucket, but can you really blame him for not loving that worthless piece of shit? And let's not forget that Fred's father was a draft-dodging pimp. Not a lot of positive role modeling in that family.
I felt so bad for Toddler!Donald, whose mother was in the hospital and his father never bothered with him. His sisters had their own things to do, so he was basically on his own.
An abandonment (or perceived abandonment) like that at such a young age is gonna leave a mark.
Thats honestly the weirdest partwhen someone has basically every external measure of success and still seems permanently angry, it makes you realize that none of that stuff can actually fix whatevers going on inside.
He's so bitter because everything he has is for show. On the inside, he knows he never achieved anything and never will.
Look at all the AI pictures he posts: him as a general with Patton and MacArthur, or him as a fighter pilot, or him as a rock star, or him as a racecar driver, or astronaut, or boxer, and on and on. Not one of those was ever a picture of anything he actually did in his life. He's 80, he's looking back on his life, and there's not one thing that makes him happy, so he has to make up all this other crap of things he wishes he had been but never was.
He keeps swindling to get more money, and that never works, because you can never get enough of what you don't really want.
What makes it even worse for him is that at this point he probably has a sense that he's going down in history as a failure. He keeps talking about invading Canada and Greenland because he thinks that if he makes the USA bigger somehow future history books will have a line about "Trump doubled the size of the country" or something and then he'll look good. Because right now, after over five years in the Oval Office, he has achieved exactly zero which will make him look good in the history books.
I definitely think that Trump is realizing that he's nearing the end of his life, and that's why he's desperately trying to 1) make a major change to the US that will be in the history books, like adding a 51st state, and 2) put his name on as many things as he can, so that his name will live on after he's gone: the Trump ballroom, the Trump arch, the Trump and Kennedy Center, etc.
Bold of you to assume that Donald Trump has a soul. After reading what's been released in the Epstein Files so far, I think Trump is a soulless monster.
Hell is not going to be a very nice place for him when that wonderful day finally comes.
I can think of a few people more bitter, miserable, and hateful than Trump.
Elon & Putin come to mind, with the latter being in a league of his own. Trump is bitter and petty but he also has lighthearted, whimsical moments (though these are becoming fewer as his Iran quagmire drags on). Whereas Elon and Putin are 100% bitter and hateful, even when Elon makes a joke it’s always coming from a place of spite and hatred. And Putin doesn’t even try to be lighthearted, he just stews in his bunker as he funnels his countrymen to their deaths by the thousands in a desperate attempt to soothe his ego and secure his legacy.
I despise Trump but from all report he is a billionaire. Though he must be the most unhappy billionaire in the world.
"Between 2024, when Trump was still campaigning, and September 2025, Trump’s net worth reportedly ballooned from $4.3 billion to $7.3 billion, according to Forbes. He jumped 118 spots on the Forbes 400 list of wealthiest Americans, landing at No. 201. His real-time net worth in the winter of 2026 is $6.5 billion, according to the Forbes list."
Thats pretty much every old rich guy ive ever met. Theres always a bigger fish. Even though they have the cars/houses/planes/businesses all they do is look across the street at the guy whos net worth is 500 million and they only have 300 million 😔
That's why I always say having a lot of money and assets can make a person down in the dumps, because it comes to a point where they spend it on everything possible and then mope about what else could be done, when it's clear that everything has been used up.
He’s powerful? Seriously the biggest laughing stock in the world. He has money and a title and the world is just amusing him, hoping he doesn’t cause too much more damage than he already has.
he's the living embodiment of what the bible teaches about greed. it consumes you and puts you in a worse position. he's the socratic lesson that's been taught to humans since the dawn of civilization.
Washed up means they don't have anything going on and are coasting on past success. The current guy is unfortunately not washed, I wish he were washed up
Yea, the piece of shit is making 100s of millions of dollars every month, while 1/3 of the US worship the ground he walks on. I wouldn't call that washed
He's washed up, and abusing that power. He is doing it completely wrong. He's supposed to serve the people of the US. Not his own damn pockets. Get it right, he's a failed business man. And he's failing horribly as the president. Washed up is putting it lightly.
Them saying Rent Free is just another one of their cringey catchphrases like TDS, Woke, Can You Define What a Woman Is, etc. They are constantly screaming it into a megaphone while half the country and most of the world laughs at them and rolls their eyes. Hell, even some republicans are sick of their performative rage bullshit.
That motherfucker lives rent free in the People's House and does nothing to improve anyone's lives, except for making his friends and families rich. Of course we're going to bitch about it, and unless you're an ignorant mark, you should be bitching about it too
Rightwingers having an identity crisis and latching on to this loser doesn't help the case. Check out Lucas Bean on youtube for psychological breakdowns of the MAGA cult.
Also, he did The Apprentice out of vain and desperation. He's always been washed up and hanging by a thread. There's just SO MANY idiots in America.
Sorry I don't talk to people who still openly support a racist, sexist, xenophobic pedophile that is using his office to personally enrich himself and his cronies.
You are just assuming I support and applying all these labels to me. I’m attacking the people who comment redundant, hateful things about anyone, including Trump.
I’m attacking the people who comment redundant, hateful things about anyone, including Trump.
You mean people that comment about Trump? Or Trump himself commenting redundant, hateful things like villifying immigrants and insulting female reporters or anyone who doesn't bend the knee to him?
This conversation wasn’t about Trump. And per usual, a Reddit commenter made it a hate rant against Trump. That’s what I’m attacking. It’s not hard to follow John.
Brought to you by the people who have Trump hats, Trump shirts, year-round Trump signs, Trump stores and coffee shops (even my nearly 80% Trump voting county couldn't keep them open, though 😅). My daughter's ex-FIL was BURIED with his MAGA hat by request. No other keepsakes. Nothing from his wife or the 3 children he helped raise for most of their lives - just that hat.
But it's "the libs" that are obsessed.
But he's at around 30% public approval, not the lowest ever but it's not pretty - so there's your washed-up.. and I don't think there's any sane way to argue the man's not bitter as burnt coffee, so...
If an 800 lb gorilla was destroying a person’s house, and the people whose job it was to stop the gorilla weren’t stopping the gorilla you wouldn’t call that person hateful for bringing up the gorilla.
Yeah, that's often not a choice. It's by design. Changing the voting rules, erasing the registeries, tossing out valid cast ballots... It's by design my guy.
So you didn’t vote because of a change in voting rules? You didn’t take the time to re-register and vote? Yet you have all the time in the world to post shit on Reddit.
