Re: Trumpled (Alternative Leading)

Trump exhibits a mentality that suggest the rumours might be true, I think you would find it hard to garnish defensive public support for Trump from anyone with a daughter regardless of their politics, and not just to the assault claims but based on a lot of other proclamations that are more than relevant in a sexism debate.
But I suppose some might question the legitimacy of the groping claims, after all Trumps hands are apparently very very small, but I suppose it's one act where size doesn't matter. It's quite sad this has become public domain!
I can fully understand why Trump's family are pleading with him to concede, he is taking them down with him, he is even going to burn the careers of the younger ones! If he is prepared to do that to his own family, burn their future for a remote chance at delivering a benefit to himself, how can anybody take seriously any his commentary about caring for the US public?
It's all very sad, we are watching a very public disintegration, and business people would have very strongly founded doubts about getting involved with this person in the future, he looks unstable! Is it perhaps symptoms of the COVID, some lingering mental duress?
There are aspects of how Trump has conducted himself in public since his COVID infection that seem almost child-like, I'm sure this change isn't just something I'm seeing because I oppose so many of his views, COVID triggered Alzheimer's perhaps. I'd be interested to know what others think?
Some pretty sharp observations here, Spotted One.
Grump's world is very simple, and molded in many respects by his upbringing and Roger Stone - you're only likeable if you win. He's a narcissist, which explains why he wouldn't give a cr@p about his family, unless they were useful. He has a single focus that is intrinsically linked to his self-worth - winning. He has to win. Losing is tantamount to death. The poor bugger was held up as the ideal son, as he exhibited killer instinct traits, to his brother by his father - 'daddy loves me if I'm a killer/winner'. Appalling psychological abuse. Both sons were severely damaged by this in very different ways.
When a narcissist fears his/her control waning, they become unhinged... in plain talk. Just look at Stone when questioned and exposed for his criminal behaviour - his head nearly exploded and he went on a rant about pedophilia. But Stone is actually worse than Grump, he's your bona fide sociopath.
Grump has never been held to account for any failure in his life, he's gotten away with all manner of stuff (bankruptcies) and having a poor moral compass is able to avoid guilt and remorse. But he now finds himself in a situation he's never really experienced - losing, not to mention being mocked by millions. Anything could happen, his mental health is now more fragile than ever. Hard to see him taking any kind of 'moderate' or humble approach to his situation. In his mind he is still President and people are trying to wrong him which makes them bad. Yep, child like.
Part of Grump's C-19 medication included a mild hallucinogenic which has him on a mild 'high' which probably explains some of his carry-on. That mixed with failure would have him desperate and probably in need of more medication!! Pretty sad stuff, really, on a human level.
I've not heard of Alzheimers brought on by C-19, but we continue to learn about the on-going effects of this virus.
