Written for Donald Trump?

I guess that's alternate universe stuff, who knows.

Just face it, Trump is the reflection of what most people would WANT to be, but are not. Living the American dream.

Killary... no one wants to be the hag, bad reflection, yet you voted her.

My goodness, I'd never want to be like him.

I don't share your priorities, thankfully.
.

Yeah, I want to live the American dream, you want to be the most corrupt politician in history.

Wrong again. I'd never want to be a politician. I'm fine being me.

So THAT'S what this is? You want to be like Trump? You're living vicariously through him? You want to be someone else? This buffoon is the man you wish you could be?

Holy crap. This just gets more and more fascinating.
.

I would not mind a yuge phallic tower in the middle of the best city or 4 billion on my bank account.

It was you who said that who you vote for is the reflection of you. I did not make that point. Regret not voting for Trump now?

"I regret voting for Trump" - No one said ever.

Holy crap, no. Trump and his Trumpsters are WAY too liberal fiscally for me. Plus, of course, he's a buffoon, a national embarrassment and a shameless enabler of his party's worst elements. A truly disturbing symptom of the decline of our culture in general, essentially a political version of the Kardashians. Among other bad qualities and actions.

Hey, he was bitching out me, maybe you should whine to him. But I like the way you jumped in to (try to) help him. Protect your tribe, always!

But it's been an interesting little conversation. This is about more than politics for you guys, this is actually a person you want to BE. Absolutely fascinating.

Oh, and if you don't like my little posts, tough shit.

I thought the Obama faithful were bad, but they look like amateurs compared to the Trump worshipers.

The Left was more "in love" with Obama. This is different, more intense. They've just sold their soul to this guy. They'll believe anything.

For some reason you guys need this comparison to feel good.

“The Art of the Deal,” 1987:

The final key to the way I promote is bravado. I play to people’s fantasies. People may not always think big themselves, but they can still get very excited by those who do. That’s why a little hyperbole never hurts. People want to believe that something is the biggest and the greatest and the most spectacular. I call it truthful hyperbole. It’s an innocent form of exaggeration — and a very effective form of promotion.

he literally tells you that he's full of shit - but knows how suckers will fall for it, time & time again. that's why he loves the poorly educated long time.

 

[playtime]

I am OK with that. I do not believe you know what the word “worship” means. I like and root for the Patriots but I do not worship Tom Brady. I like and root for the Celtics but I do not worship Jayson Tatum. You use that word as a pejorative but I do not understand why?

Cult of personality

Soviet poster featuring Stalin, Soviet Azerbaijan, 1938
A cult of personality, or cult of the leader,[1] arises when a country's regime – or, more rarely, an individual – uses the techniques of mass media, propaganda, the big lie, spectacle, the arts, patriotism, and government-organized demonstrations and rallies to create an idealized, heroic, and worshipful image of a leader, often through unquestioning flattery and praise. A cult of personality is similar to apotheosis, except that it is established by modern social engineering techniques, usually by the state or the party in one-party states and dominant-party states. It is often seen in totalitarian or authoritarian countries.

DJT is now Stalin, Hitler and Pol Pot? TDS working OT.

the pic came with the article. is he any of them? nope. can he be? he sure is aspiring to be on par with vlad & duterte & erdogan... & he stills wants to cuddle with the NK piglet. he turns his back on our NATO allies & embraces autocrats. & now this is where you deny it. lol... trump loves the poorly educated long time.

He is trying to negotiate with the “piglet” because South Korea asked him too. Allies? If they were true allies they would pay their fare share and now they are actually paying more. We have never been closer to Israel and we are tight with the UK. You need to chill.

uh-huh. with donny, it's always about money - & how to shake down those he wants to get it from; always. NATO & now ukraine. NATO was formed for a reason... surely you must know that. putin wants to covet ukraine, possibly spreading even further. he wants the soviet union back intact. hmmmm... history certainly is capable of repeating itself & donny doesn't care as long as he gets a cut. it may not be with GETTING cash from ukraine, but there's something of value there.

funny how you parrot the same words as donny.

always.

i would think you... being jewish... would feel differently about our allies.

Trump keeps criticizing NATO allies over spending. Here's how NATO's budget actually works.

It was you who said that who you vote for is the reflection of you.

That is actually not what he said, he was referring to society in general not to specific individuals. There is a difference.

But you have now made it clear that you wish you were like Trump. That explains much.

- Billion dollars
- Hot wife
. Smart beautiful kids
- Big tower
- Well liked
- Best president in American history.

I rather lived like him than the bitter Hillary voter voting for welfare bucks so she can abort her kids.

I would rather live like me.

- Enough money to do whatever I like
- Hot wife...only one...never cheated on her. This is big deal in my view...you do not seem to agree.
- Smart beautiful kids
- Nice house
- Far more well liked than Trump. The majority of people do not Trump.


Once again, you claim you do not worship the man, yet you give him a title of best president in American history when he has not done much of anything.

Pretty interesting, huh? They literally want to be like Trump. They live vicariously through him. Attack him, you're attacking who they want to be.

All-new territory here.

I speak for all who openly and proudly hate the Democrats guts.

That is Pathetic. Go to the ED and see what Republican is there to care for you.

Lib please the left hate us, we hate them right back plus we kick their ass.

Actually, I'm not a "Lib." All you do is forward hate comments. You are a USMB Orange Coward.

So you are a liberal collaborator, got it. Things are going great for the USA, what exactly is your beef with president Trump?

Your assessment is incorrect. Like a lot of things you post about on USMB. Plain wrong and dumb.
Where to even begin to answer your question...
A 73 year old bully, President Of The United States Of America deriding a 16 year old girl.
Yeah, defend that, blue.

or when he defrauded people who enrolled in his 'university' & had to pay $25,000,000.00 in damages.

or when he had to close down his 'foundation', paying $2,000,000 in fines because he spent contributions on his own campaign. 8 charities are now getting that cash.

The nonprofit groups that received payments were the Army Emergency Relief, the Children’s Aid Society, Citymeals on Wheels, Give an Hour, Martha’s Table, the United Negro College Fund, the United Way of the National Capital Area, and the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. Each received a total of $476,140.01.
Trump Pays $2 Million to 8 Charities for Misuse of Foundation

or tried to use eminent domain for his own personal business; he wanted to force an old woman, vera coking, outa her home, so he can bulldoze her property, pave it over so he can have a fucking parking lot at his casino for limousines.

yaaaaaa.............. that's the creature they worship.

-Bankrupt how many times
-Porn wife, really classy
-Children that can't even hold their water in an interview, lol
-Towers he did not build and borrowed money to put his name on
-Well liked, LMFAO. You must not live in NY
-Worst President in American history, ever. Just ask W. He's thankful this Russian Goomba came along.

President Trump has been bankrupt exactly zero times. Not surprising that someone relying on welfare mooching has confusion regarding the matter.

Best president ever.

all his casinos.... where the business is designed so the house wins... have gone belly up. donny, whose daddy drumpf started using him to make cash since he was a toddler, never knew what it was like to be a working man & how to manage money. anybody who starts out life with tons of cash given to him can't grasp that idea if he was never really allowed to fail because of it. donny has always been lousy with cash - even wall street had to put him on an allowence because his spending was so outa control.

Quick: Who'd Have Trouble Living on $450,000 a Month?
By Kurt Eichenwald June 26, 1990

Credit...The New York Times Archives

This is a digitized version of an article from The Times’s print archive, before the start of online publication in 1996. To preserve these articles as they originally appeared, The Times does not alter, edit or update them.

Donald J. Trump, who has lectured America about architecture, foreign policy and, most of all, how to do deals, may be about to learn a lesson of his own: how to live in Manhattan on $450,000 a month.

That scarcely onerous restriction is being imposed by Mr. Trump's bankers, who have insisted that the man who has made conspicuous consumption a personal trademark must curb his spending a bit.

Moreover, the $450,000-a-month allowance excludes some of the largest of Mr. Trump's daunting expenses, the bankers say. These extras, based on Mr. Trump's spending in May, include the costs of maintaining his personal 727 jetliner ($246,000) and his 282-foot yacht ($841,000). The yacht and the personal jet, to be sure, may be sold to trim the real estate developer's mountainous debts.

In May, Mr. Trump also paid interest of $2.1 million on his personal debt, while his legal, charitable and business expenses totaled $382,000. His interest payments and various expenses do not count as personal spending, either.

Still, the $450,000-a-month limit will require some belt-tightening on Mr. Trump's part. In May, his bankers report, Mr. Trump's personal spending amounted to $583,000 for day-to-day necessities of the ultrarich life style, which range from his $2,000 suits to the costs of maids, gardeners and chefs at his three homes.

So to meet the bankers' target, Mr. Trump must trim his personal expenses by more than $100,000 from the May level. If he can do that, the banks will agree to lend Mr. Trump even more money.

The terms are being required by the banks, which are attempting to structure a loan to Mr. Trump to keep his faltering empire out of bankruptcy court.

The personal spending limits agreed to by the banks, though a cutback for Mr. Trump, still come to $5.4 million a year. If the banks agree to the terms of the new loan, in the month of July, for example, Mr. Trump would have to hold his expenses to just $14,516.13 a day, or $10.08 every minute of the day and night.

'It's Just Phenomenal'

Even the truly wealthy found Mr. Trump's manner of spending, reduced circumstances or not, to be remarkable.

''I would have no idea how to spend $450,000 a month,'' said one billionaire, who asked not to be identified. ''It's just phenomenal.''

Financial planners for the well heeled agreed.

''We have handled a lot of entertainers, some of whom lived very extravagantly, but I have never come across anybody who spent that way,'' said Lawrence B. Eichler, president of Sentinel Asset Management. ''Donald Trump lives in strata few of us approach, or even want to approach.''

Even Mr. Trump, who declined to comment, once said: ''A little more moderation would be good.'' But he was quick to add, ''Of course, my life hasn't exactly been one of moderation.''

Deadline on a Payment

Mr. Trump's unfolding financial drama may reach a climax tonight as the developer faces a deadline to make a payment on a high-yield ''junk bond'' issue. No matter what the outcome, the glimpse of Mr. Trump's spending habits is certain to add another layer to the high-spending lore to the 1980's.

Mr. Trump's new allowance may be absorbed easily, given the style of living to which he has become accustomed. The developer owns three homes, including Mar-a-Lago, in Palm Beach, Fla. That home, which was willed to the State of Florida by Marjorie Merriweather Post, was sold to Mr. Trump because the state could not afford to pay for its upkeep. Scores of household staff members are paid to help keep up the 118-room residence.

Mr. Trump will also have to continue to maintain his 50-room penthouse triplex in Manhattan's Trump Tower, which comes complete with an 80-foot living room, bronze-edged floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking Central Park, and a 12-foot waterfall.

Smaller Expenses

A number of the smaller expenses add up quickly as well, like the cost of sending his three children to private schools.

Despite the leeway Mr. Trump will have in his personal spending, bankers and accountants said yesterday that he might not be able to spend to the limit imposed by the banks under the tentative deal.

Bankers negotiating with Mr. Trump said that the spending ceiling was placed on the amount of money he spends before taxes. Accountants said that if Mr. Trump did not have sufficient deductions to wipe out his tax liability, he could pay as much as 40 percent of that limit in taxes. Taxes of 40 percent would leave him with a monthly limit of $270,000.

For a number of prominent billionaires, investment bankers and other wealthy Americans, the report of Mr. Trump's allowance speaks volumes about the state of mind of commercial bankers who gave the developer the original loans.

'This Is Restrictive?'

''The banks think that this is restrictive?'' asked a prominent New York investment banker, who spoke on condition that he not be identified. ''No wonder they gave these loans. They have a totally upside-down view of the world.''

Despite his personal travails, Mr. Trump still has his fans.

''Donald Trump has always lived and worked the life style of the rich and famous,'' Robin Leach, host of the television program ''Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous,'' said in a statement. ''And it will continue under the new circumstances, making him more competitive and better than ever.''

"truthful hyperbole"

You have to admit, there's a certain perverse & ugly brilliance in constantly spraying out hyperbole and distortion.

At some point it all becomes noise, and drops standards of honesty down to the ground, normalizing the bullshit.

Plus, it makes it easier to forget all the more important examples and essentially trivializes them.

I don't know if he has the capacity to realize this, but it's certainly the ultimate effect.
