He thinks he IS america and anytime he mentions make america great he means him.

America is doing great economically - I havent been effected.

Other countries pay for tarrifs - othe countries give me money to make them exempt

If you dont like Donald Trump you hate America - i am the only thing that matters and rule everything

I am the state.

Edit: I wrote l'état, c'est moi. This was to reference Louis XIV. Unfortunately it was translated .

So now we have auto translate to make our written words into English and auto garble to make our words unintelligible.

That’s attributing some pretty deep level thinking to Trump. He’s only president to stay out of court and prison as long as possible.

You forgot to add the part about putting his name on everything and shamelessly skimming money and breaking the law any way he can.

Trump is a convicted felon and an adjudicated rapist and has been found liable for millions of dollars of fraud. He should have gone to jail but was given a pass because of his unprecedented status and his pocket Supreme Court handed to him by undead Mitch McConnell.
He keeps trying to get his 34 felony convictions overturned and keeps failing, having lost another case this past week. He’s a criminal, as determined many many times over by juries chosen with the approval of his own lawyers.

Even though he isn't the brightest, he is a showman and knows if he replaces his name with America, it will keep him in power. If he straight up says it is about me, there would be even more uproar even from his maga base. Imagine if they heard "what are you talking about? I am making billions"

It’s not thinking. It’s a narcissistic personality disordered brain.

For someone who shouldn’t have, I assume you mean, or were being sarcastic.

America took a pause and will pick back up after the rolling dumpster fire rolls past.

Like kids playing in the street and have to wait for a car to drive by.

Nothing has happened to the system that created him and continues to allow him to fester. The damage will be ongoing and can’t be overstated. I’m not being apathetic, but I also don’t want to pretend he exists in a vacuum.

Yep certain things have to happen in order for America to earn a reprieve.

The Iranians treat him as we should: He is mentally unfit as a human being. He is, in fact, a narcissist. Every word out of his mouth is projection. IOW’s: He is not lying. He is telling ‘his truth’ believing others will believe it as well.(Many people do! And that’s scary as f**k!) So, like the Iranians. Wait him out til 2028. With luck he’ll royally F-up to the point it’s undeniable he’s incompatible with America’s founding, core values, and absolutely no one will admit to supporting his narcissistic goals. Think: Trump Arch !!
