You know the old saying about some being born to greatness, others achieving it and some having it thrust upon them. There’s a fourth part that doesn’t seem to get mentioned but it damned well should. Some people make themselves look great by making others look bad. Or worse. THAT is the chosen method for Donald Trump.
It’s not actually a surprise. Trump has alluded this plenty of times in the course of his miserable life. However for him to say it so succinctly and on camera at some public event is kind of startling. Perhaps his clearly devolving intellect, not all that substantial to begin with is losing the ability to stop him from realizing he’s not just telling the truth on himself, but making himself look pretty bad in the process.
Nevertheless as reported by littlethings Trump’s alligator mouth overloaded his hummingbird ass and he told a whopper on himself:
“You don’t have to wait a lifetime to find out if somebody is a winner or a loser,” Trump said at the event. “You got a lot of losers, mostly losers, fortunately. It’s a good thing to have a lot of losers. I always like to hang around with losers, actually, because it makes me feel better.” The level of self-awareness in this statement is actually astounding.
Oops. While some might say he was joking he didn’t shut his fat mouth and kept talking. In doing so it was pretty clear he believes his MAGAs are so enthralled with him nothing he can do or say will stop them from eating his turd soup and asking for more:
“I hate guys that are very, very successful, and you have to listen to their success stories,” he continued. “I like people who like to listen to my success.” People on social media couldn’t believe he actually admitted this out loud at an event (and on camera), even if what he confessed to wasn’t exactly new information. “so he just admitted his administration is full of a bunch of losers who aren’t successful? lol we already know,” one critic said.
As for that last part let’s just say more than one critic popped up on social media to zing Trumpty-Dumpty. You can check out the linked article for more reaction but my favorite was the one who noted how it explains his Cabinet. When you think about it they KNOW he picked them (and Vance for that matter) because they were second (or third, or worse) rate. At least most of them. Some are either stupid enough or egotistical enough (or both) to think they are actually not just highly qualified but awesome. I think most of them realized the score months into Trump’s second term but they hang around. Hey, when you’ve sold your soul to the devil what can you do? Where can you go?
I’m sure some of our conservative lurkers are thinking (and one or two even commenting) I’m taking this out of context. That Trump was just joking around and that on paper his words don’t convey that. Ok. See for yourself:

Things have gone to hell in a handbasket and some pretty successful people who for the sake of their businesses/companies capitulated/sucked-up to Trump are realizing that ‘humoring’ him or flattering him was a mistake. They might have thought they’d curried favor but are learning with Trump they’re a phone call away from a new demand. If they mention what they did for him he’s a “That’s what I already got. What will you do for me now?” type asshat.
The reason Trump doesn’t want to spend time working with successful people is multi-faceted. Deep down inside he knows they are like the NYC elite who never accepted him into the Masters of the Universe club. He resents that they have talent and skills he does not. He knows it and he knows THEY know it and he just can’t handle it. So, he surrounds himself with wannabes and/or f**kups and avoids having people with a spine who will tell him when he’s full of sh*t. He’s like the rich kid who’s not that great an athlete but wants to show off to the girls – by inviting a group of guys several years younger and not as physically developed to play basketball with. That allows him to stand out in the crowd. Or the gal who is attractive but insecure so she makes friends with a bunch of plain looking gals to make her look prettier.
Instead of kissing Trump’s fat butt, or even showing him with tacky baubles/awards what the mega rich folks who own/run businesses need to look at what’s happened to the world in the last year. If they aren’t worried about a major breakdown of the world order and the masses headed to their gated estates with more than torches and pitchforks they should. What happened to that CEO getting shot dead in Manhattan got noticed by a lot of them. What they CAN and SHOULD do is organize like a temporary union. Then fly in (with every luxury) Congressional Republicans, Governors and other top GOPers with major influence and deliver an ultimatum: Work with Democrats to throw Trump out or the money stops. No more donations. Lobbyists will be ordered to stand down so the perks they dole out will also disappear.
Earlier this weekend it seemed like mother nature was finally doing her job and we’d be done with Trump. That seems not to be the case but I DO believe he made a trip to Walter Reed due to a major health scare. Still, hoping hasn’t gotten the job done. By Trump’s own admission he’s surrounded himself with f**kups and not only is his Presidency in deep doo-doo, so is the economy and the world in general. They need to make elected Republicans more afraid of them than of Trump. And that video clip of Trump needs to be playing on a loop in their rooms, in the halls and everywhere the guest at this retreat go.
Friends, I know everyone begs you for money. I promise, among all those asking for spare change, we are the smallest and the hardest working. We’re a group of old, disabled people, except for one writer in his mid-50s. The rest of us are in our sixties and seventies, and this is a labor of love. All we’re asking for is the chance to keep telling the truth about Trump and help ensure democracy survives. If you can help, please do. Thank you. Ursula
Trump apparently is a Hitler fan; he had a book of Adolf’s speeches by his bedside, or so the story goes. I wonder if it ever occurred to him that he has emulated Hitler in many ways, among them his ability to distract from his weaknesses by faking strength via bullyboy tactics. Hitler was enabled by wealthy, powerful people who thought they could control him, having under-estimated his talent for self-preservation and cruelty. Hitler stoked the fears and insecurities of Germany’s population so that they followed him, not realising that he was a phony, a false prophet who had no interest whatsoever in their well-being. In the end, Hitler destroyed his country, claiming to the bitter end that Germany deserved its awful fate because it had not been worthy of him. Trump believes that nobody is worthy of him, nobody recognises his genius except him,self and he will gladly destroy everything as a result.
