I don’t know man… my gut tells me he was born like this. Torture small animals as a child that sort of thing. So having that kind of wrong, mean nature, then growing up seeing how his parents treated the help….

Very sorry about the last part, but thanks for the knowledge! So they’re kind of into their purity in their little corner up there. I have always thought well of them, because they sure do give the Russians a hard time! It probably has not been easy to be Dennis Schroder all his life.

Before this presidency, I had no idea there were so many people that could be classified as “only evil”! 😲 I guess massive evil at the top brings out the evil in people who were inclined that way…

In my opinion, this right here is the key that unlocks it all. All the extremely weird unexplainable and ugly things, Trump does every day have only one thing in common. They make America weaker (and Putin happier)

BSky did the thing where I signed on and tried to comment on something but it sent me off into some kind of starter space when I touch the screen. I’m sure there are legit technical reasons why that’s all it knew how to do, but it’s effing annoying!

I was thinking about that just today! Eventually there will be an actual health event, and we probably won’t know about it for two or three weeks (or more!) except by rumor! Unless he just keels over on the tarmac in front of everybody, then we’ll know! 😕

This little story explains a lot about why so many European leaders came over to kiss Trump’s butt a couple of weeks ago. I’m sure they truly truly hated kissing Trump’s butt, but they have long memories and know how bad things can get in the plains of central Europe

As i say every time this comes up, the only mechanism that makes it all make sense is that he’s taking orders from Putin. He’s not smart enough to figure this stuff out. Some personal obsessions of his are there like tariffs But why would he want pandemics?
