Donald Trump: Adult Bully? Adult Baby? or Media Genius?

His defensive postures and temper flares make me wonder.

He is riding his TV show's success right to the bank and to fan his ego. My guess is that if he really does try to run for the GOP nomination, he will end up in a big pile of his own shit just like Rudy did.

Right now, he is having the time of his life with all of the attention.

A Machiavelian Narcisist pehaps?

I didn't read all the responses because of time so if I am repeating someone else, so sorry....

I remember....5 - 10 years ago he was near bankruptcy. No? I swear there was this big bunch of stuff about how he ran his businesses mostly in the red and had no "real" money.

I am using the wrong words and am short on time, but, I remember that and it was from a real news source.

Other than that he's an egotistical asshat.

And today...... he says his "detectives" found no birth certificate in Hawaii for Obama!! It is either "not there" or "missing." But won't reveal who in Hawaii his "people" talked with.

I am so sick of this!! The system in Hawaii has been explained and explained- the damn certificate is an official copy.

Frankly, I think Birthers don't think Hawaii is a state!!

I have a question for those who watch any of The Apprentice shows.

Why?

Do you know that you are supporting him by doing that?

Even peripherally you are telling the network moguls that he's interesting enough to tape or watch.

That's money in the political bank, y'all.

I saw a "guest" reading this forum thread, so I clicked on the link and read this thread tonight. OMG, I was SO busy with graduating with my master's degree back in 2011, that I somehow missed this community discussion on 'you-know-who'.

Corkey nailed it and I agree with many insightful observations posted by members of our community.

Medusa asked what any member thought about 'you-know-who' (see Medusa's opening post on page 1 of this thread). I never watched his TV show ever. I saw commercials about it, back then, but once I saw a commercial for his TV show, I basically thought to myself: "Why would anyone ever watch that show except to (…)?"


I think T^^^p is more than a bully, and is intoxicatedly drunk on the attention accorded to him: chief among a litany of many reasons I could list here (but won't).


Robert Reich penned an article that I think nails it down, in fairly precise terms. If anyone is interested in reading this article, it was published February of 2019 (almost a year ago now) and can be found by clicking the link embedded ~~~>>>>>>> (HERE).

Trump tweets........

"Congratulations to the Kansas City Chiefs on a great game and a fantastic comeback under immense pressure," Trump wrote. "We are proud of you and the Great State of Kansas. You are true Champions!"


I think this proves he's no genius! Perhaps his cohort Mike Pompeo could help by showing him Arrowhead Stadium on a map!

I get that.

For me, I've tried to keep the 2 things separate.

I enjoy watching MeatLoaf and Gary Busey integrate.
heh.

Seriously though ~ it's for Charity, the Celebrity one is.

My opinion is that Trump easily influences ('trumps', if U will)
the Network with enough Monetary weight that
if the ratings fell...the show would not.

I canot take Trump serious as a Political Candidate.


I picture him and Howerd Stern running together.

That's how serious I take it.

Oh I love that it's for charity, but it's still, in the long run, for Trump since he's the toupee spokesmodel. Sad. I've actually never watched the show other than trailers/commercials. I'm not much for reality (although SOMEONE got me hooked on RuPaul's Drag Race and I'm a huge AI person now. LOL)

[Daywalker]

I shoulda put RuPaul in the Poll

"Bush and Bush, its time to LipSync...for yer life...and don't fuck it up"

I can't get past this...

A step-by-step guide to the gravity-defying Donald Trump combover

The Donald: What's the difference between an astronaut and Donald Trump's hairdo? One defies the law of gravity, the other's a spaceman
Over the years we've had our share of great British combovers - Arthur Scargill and Bobby Charlton to name but two.
But both men would have to doff their cap to the astonishing coiffure of American billionaire Donald Trump.
Rather than invest any of his considerable fortune in a transplant or wig, the 61-year-old property magnate insists on using a series of elaborate measures to plaster strands of hair across his balding pate.

Hair-raising moment as billionaire Donald Trump drops in to visit his Scottish relatives
Occasionally, however, it comes unstuck - notably this week when faced with the insistent breeze on the Isle of Lewis, where he was visiting his mother's former home.
Here, the Daily Mail shows how to achieve the Trump look ... in the unlikely event that anyone would want to emulate it.
As for the man himself, he was at a public inquiry in Aberdeen yesterday to be questioned yesterday by environmental campaigners and local councillors over his plans to build 'the world's greatest golf course'.
Enlarge
After spending more than three hours giving evidence he said: 'I am shocked to be here. I thought I would be building the course by now.'
The flamboyant tycoon wants to create two golf courses, a clubhouse, a massive hotel, a conference centre, a golf academy and 950 holiday homes on the Menie Estate in Aberdeenshire, which is currently used for shooting.
Warning that turning down his plans 'would be a terrible, terrible loss to Scotland' he said the proposed site was currently littered with the carcases of animals.
He said: 'It's a total mess. When you walk on the site right now it's sort of disgusting. There are bird carcasses lying all over the site.
'There are dead animals all over the site that have been shot. There may be some people that are into that. I am not.
'When I build the course we won't be killing birds. We will be trying for birdies and eagles, but we won't be killing them.'
The billionaire tycoon sported a somewhat flyaway version of the combover after he landed in Stornoway on his private Boeing 727, which is emblazoned with TRUMP in large gold letters on the side.
Accompanied by his older sister Maryanne, it is the first time he has been on the island since his mother took him there as a child.
And he admitted that he would probably have walked away from his plans to build a £1billion golf resort if his mother had not been from Scotland.
When asked if he would have given up on his plans for the Aberdeenshire resort after they were initially rejected by the council had his mother not been from Scotland.
He said: 'I think probably I would have, yes.
'It is really easy to find a nice piece of land to do something nice on. But Scotland is special and I wanted to do something special for my mother.'

OMG.

This lying sack of shit has actually stated to Anderson Cooper that he "has people on the ground investigating in Hawaii and that he's been told that the President's birth certificate is missing". (paraphrase)

Even though Anderson Cooper busted him out and was like "Uh, we ALSO have people on the ground in Hawaii and they've all talked to everyone who would have been associated with Obama's birth from people in the hospital at the same time as he was born to people who worked there and none of those people say that any of your people have contacted them." He then went on to ask the DumpTruck to name ONE person they had spoken to in regard to Obama's birth and the Dump refused.

Couple that with another statement that he wont/cant back up with facts like, "I heard he was a bad student" when talking about Obama's Harvard days, and it appears that Donald Trump is willing to bald-faced LIE his ass off on television for ratings.

He's a phony. A liar. And most of all, an embarrassment.

The ratings for the show have gone way up since he began this garbage. And reports are that his only real income is from the show.


I can proudly state I have never watched it. I don't watch "reality TV" shows. I guess some, like DWTS might be good, but, I just don't watch them.

Can you imagine what the rest of the world would think about Trump actually being the GOP candidate for president? Although, he does represent the type of US personality that many countries dislike about us.

Well I do love some food reality and Project Runway mesmerized me.

:Tongue firmly in cheek: It might be entertaining to have:

U.N. Apprentice

Can the Emperor of Japan outwit Ghaddafi in order to win a place at Trump's U.N. Table? Watch the nuclear fireworks to see!

That statement is untrue.
Reports are propaganda.


Because he is extremely vague about it, for one.

BUT, he will have to open his closet of secrets soon.



Then we will all know,
and we'll pretend we cared in the first place.
