In Trumps narcissistic mind he truly thinks he deserves everything he has grifted from our country and that the people should marvel at the riches he has accumulated. He has no shame, in fact it's the opposite.
Absolutely. He can never be wrong about anything, so in his mind it is all just fine. He would probably tell you that the corruption makes him a smart person, since money and power is all his family was ever about - and Trump behaved this way his whole life and is proud of it.
Wrote a reply to this in an older register. A plain man reads all 927 pages and can only marvel — then you learn he bought the coin, and the marveling is the last thing he owns, and he means to pass it on.
I hit the trifecta here in the Lowcountry of South Carolina. Nancy Freakin’ Mace is my Rep (buh bye Nancy👋). Lindsey Lickspittle Graham is my Senior Senator (enuff said 🫠) and Tim MIA Scott is my Junior Senator 😫.
Even tho’ I call, fax & email their offices on a routine basis about the damage Trump is doing to the country, to our lives & livelihoods, his corruption, his anti-Constitutional behavior, his giving the middle finger to Congress to do something about it - Lindsey, Tim & Nancy continue to pop up on Fox News with their hot takes, and push Trump narratives on their socials. I also bother Senate Majority Leader John Thune from afar.
I swear, if any of us rubes out here did 1/1,000th of the illegal, corrupt shit that Trump has pulled, we’d be in a state or federal lockup already.
I have an acquaintance (MAGA) that believes these actions make Trvmp a smart guy. How do we convince these numskulls that the rule of law matters? And that morality matters?
I've been advised not to waste my time and energy but I will say this: “numskull” -to me - has always been a lighthearted label like “knucklehead” or “doofas”. I'm sorry if I got your panties in a twist. Also, you're making huge assumptions about what Democrats believe (I assume Fox News is spewing this nonsense).
Don't waste your time and energy trying to do so. Instead, focus on family and friends getting registered to vote and then voting in the midterms. Instead, focus on empowering the 90 million eligible voters who sat on the sidelines in 2024 and didn't vote, to step up and vote this year. Also, take a look at this article. These people are a lost cause. Don't waste your time or energy on them. https://mitchthelawyer.substack.com/p/maga-is-a-cult-and-robert-lifton?r=2fe7t3&utm_campaign=post-expanded-share&utm_medium=web
A great start: appeal to people by informing them that they’re morons! Ad hominem persuasion.
If persuasion is the goal, why not consider the center-left Third Way's recent memo to “All Who Wish to Stop Donald Trump and MAGA”? Rather than fury or other negativity, Third Way suggests: "Before issuing an angry, divisive rant, think about conversations with persuadable voters in your own life—especially friends, family, and co-workers—and consider whether [such language] would help or hurt your case.” 8-22-2025 https://www.thirdway.org/memo/was-it-something-i-said
Hey, you irredeemable, deplorable bigots, vote for me! – Strangely, didn't work for Hillary.
Hey, you Nazi-fascist bigots, vote for me! – Strangely, didn't work for VP Harris.
Vilifying and reviling potential supporters seems to attract few if any votes – hard to believe!!
> “… that the rule of law matters?” – SB
Start by anointing and praising the left’s heroes such as cop killers like Mumia Abu Jamal, Joanne Chesimard/Assata Shakur, Sundiata Acoli, and the cool killers such as Luigi Mangione, Che Guevara, etc. Then demand emptying prisons and defunding police. Oh, and don’t forget to praise the Hamas rapes, murders, torture, and kidnapping of over a thousand civilians – all of whom asked for it, of course. Also, defend the 9/11 attacks and the George Floyd riots, death, and destruction simply by chanting “January 6.”
> “And that morality matters?” – SB
Former presidents such as Bill Clinton and Joe Biden (and his so-smart son, Hunter), and other lefty saints such as Bob Menendez, Michael Avenatti, Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, most of the population of Minneapolis, etc., are just a few of the multitude of moral cretins of the left for whom morality couldn’t matter less. How could MAGA doubt the moral superiority of the left and that theirs is the example to be followed?
Numskull MAGA eagerly awaits your righteous guidance.
Thank you for this summary of a document that should appall every American (and everyone else as well). I’ll be so glad when this administration becomes a cautionary historical reminder of this unfortunate era of corruption in the USA.

Conning its own fools
And others too, and that's the sad part.
In Trumps narcissistic mind he truly thinks he deserves everything he has grifted from our country and that the people should marvel at the riches he has accumulated. He has no shame, in fact it's the opposite.
That seems to be the way he thinks and acts. Let's start shutting it down in the November 3rd midterms.
Absolutely. He can never be wrong about anything, so in his mind it is all just fine. He would probably tell you that the corruption makes him a smart person, since money and power is all his family was ever about - and Trump behaved this way his whole life and is proud of it.
How in the world do we allow someone like this to be elected in the first place, much less the second time?

Alas.
Ditto here in Florida. Hurry up, November.

Appalling indeed! He is a criminal who should be prosecuted.

My pleasure, Ellen. I am glad it resonated with you. From the looks of things, there will be more articles and posts coming to my Substack.
I wish it was that simple. The damage done wasn't limited to his cult.
