Another one for the golf course.

"He has no principles. None. None,” she said of Trump

Glad she at least was human.

[-] lennybird@lemmy.world 108 points 1 year ago

So sister and niece both know he's a terrible person. If only his gullible followers could see...

[-] xkforce@lemmy.world 101 points 1 year ago

His followers like him because hes a terrible person not in spite of it.

[-] Mamertine@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

Yep, he's willing to say the racist/sexist/anti glbt things the other Republicans are only willing to imply.

[-] JJROKCZ@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago

They’re both women, therefore his followers don’t give a shit what they say. They’d rather the women not speak

[-] logicbomb@lemmy.world 59 points 1 year ago

She said that on a taped conversation in private. The article said that she was a critic of his, but I'm not sure that she was a public critic of his.

The point being, it's not like Donald Trump doesn't know that he's done things that were wrong. For example, he knows it's wrong to try to steal an election, because he's constantly accusing other people of doing it. But he does know the truth, that it was he who was doing those things.

A person shouldn't be lauded for privately knowing there is a problem, but never doing anything about it.

Here's the thing I keep hammering about Trump; He's eat up with Narcissistic Personality Disorder. That doesn't mean "narcissist" in the way people have been slinging the word around for a decade+. It's a real diagnosis with a real meaning.

If you've ever been close to someone with NPD, you realize that they literally have no sense of personal culpability. They are literally unable to process an idea that says "you are wrong".

Trump isn't purposefully hiding his "wrongness" from us, he can't know he's wrong. His brain can't imagine such a thing.
The "stolen" election for example; He did realize for a minute that he was beaten, plenty of evidence of what was said in that brief timespan. So we normal folks say, "Ah ha! Told you he was a liar!"

But his brain reworked the thing, because being beaten, "wrong" to his mind, is not possible.

You could hardly torture a confession out of the man, because to his mind, he has nothing to confess. His behavior is far more terrifying once you truly internalize that.

Now add the beginnings of dementia to his extreme case of NPD. He's basically a religious fanatic, and he's his own god.

[-] logicbomb@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

The point isn't that he thinks he's wrong, but that the things he's done are things that he knows are wrong. He just believes he has some special right to do these things anyways.

I don't know anything about her other than what this article says. Lauded is a huge stretch.

Half-human, at best. She resigned her position as a federal judge after it was revealed she also committed tax fraud after their father passed.

[-] SheDiceToday@eslemmy.es 57 points 1 year ago

Having the shame to resign puts her ahead of 99.99% of a certain group of people.

[-] iBaz@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

Was it shame, or were there worse things waiting for her if sure didn't resign?

[-] Creat@discuss.tchncs.de 14 points 1 year ago

didn't she resign cause she got caught, and likely was given no actual choice? Like "resign or be disbarred" or whatever the equivalent would be?

Only two left, odds getting better.

[-] PrincessLeiasCat@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 year ago

The sad part is that it could still be a very long time.

[-] mateomaui@reddthat.com 20 points 1 year ago

The upside is I will still be alive to pee on his grave.

I've gone smell blind!

[-] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 54 points 1 year ago

when she retired amid a judicial conduct inquiry into her alleged involvement in possible tax fraud for her family.

Is there anyone in that family who isn't like the very worst of the Kennedys?

[-] almar_quigley@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago

That’s an odd comparison. It’s more like “is there anyone in that family who isn’t like every other Trump?” They are all pieces of shit. No need to go outside their family to find worse examples.

[-] billiam0202@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago

Mary Trump, daughter of Fred Trump Jr., seems to have her head on straight.

[-] interceder270@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

I mean, rich people are assholes.

That goes for their families as well. They cultivate a culture of hoarding as much wealth as possible no matter what.

[-] robotopera@sh.itjust.works 50 points 1 year ago

I can't believe the Clintons would do something like this

[-] rodneylives@lemmy.world 50 points 1 year ago

When I saw her name was Maryanne I was worried that she was "the good Trump," Mary, who has been very outspoken about her disdain for Donald. It appears that it wasn't.

[-] nutsack@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago

clicked into comments to ascertain the same information

Oh shit, should we tell them? Do they know?

Am I going to die?

[-] derpgon@programming.dev 8 points 1 year ago

Only if you are 30+, which is considered old enough to die, as back pain starts to manifest.

She getting buried at his (totally not a) house for another tax break or some shit too?

No. He doesn't have any more top secret documents to hide.

These Trumps always have the best hair dews. You can tell it runs in the family.

DUUN DUN DUN DUN

[-] comador@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Well, that doesn't look good for Trump's longevity past 87...

Gives him less than a decade left, depending on how you interpret genetics and environmental research effects on overall lifespan.

[-] nicetriangle@kbin.social 41 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Honestly I’m pretty shocked that someone who treats their body that shittily has made it this far.

Dude is way overweight, eats 4 sandwiches from McDonald’s in one sitting on a regular basis, thinks exercise is bad for you, is probably on stimulants, and reportedly doesn’t sleep much.

Dude’s like the Keith Richards of being a piece of shit.

[-] someguy3@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 year ago

Doesn't drink and doesn't have a care in the world (no stress).

[-] shalafi@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago

I dunno, people close to him have hinted at his stress levels. And all the public lashing out is getting demonstrably worse. Hell, his "acting out" behavior was getting worse long before he lost the election. There was a great breakdown of his Tweet frequency, and the accompanying lies in those Tweets. Shown on a graph, that shit spiked and never levelled off.

He's not stressed because he knows he's done wrong and it's coming to bite his ass. He's stressed because his "enemies" are closing in.

"So unfair. So corrupt."

Women usually outlive men by 10 years.

[-] Skipper_the_Eyechild 15 points 1 year ago

Any day now!

[-] LanternEverywhere@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

You're way off. On average women live longer than men by 5.8 years.
