Oh. I am a construction worker in NYC. We insult each other to make sure we can still do it. You have to get really good at it to annoy other people.

It is a merit system.

You're supposed to get angry that he insulted you. It's his way of derailing the conversation.

Nothing I have said is challenged by it.

It's good to hear you're not a professional politician and had a productive life.

That said you seem to have left that behind and are now spewing worthless garbage just like a PP.

In reply to oh that one really gets me,

The brand marketing was based upon the idea that a person who survived the cage matches of capital competition would be better suited for the job than people who express feelings. When one reviews the rallies before the election, the language of expressing care is mocked as a liberal marketing device. Many of the supporters heard that and stopped shopping. This is the cruise missile we need now to blow up all those people who caused our suffering.

Proposing a change of course at this time after investing so much in a specific strategy has to be weighed carefully. Trump gambled with people's lives in the expectation that results would be different than they are. He continues to roll the bones upon that expectation. Maybe he is correct on some level. If his bets are losers then he is toast anyway. From his perspective, it is like all those other times he had to try something that could work or not for him.

hey, just comes to mind, when has he ever even referred to like "the American people" in the third person? He doesn't talk directly to them, and he doesn't talk about them, either. And his rallies are performance pieces looking for dittoes. Even Rush Limbaugh talks directly to callers once in a great while!

oh that one really gets me, it usually comes at the end of a bunch of "on the one hand, on the other hand" babble With both hands being nonsense. Very similar to how a lot of little kids imitate grownup talk.

(Saw part of the NJ gov press conference today. He spend a significant amount of time extending sympathy to victims and selecting a few to commemorate in detail, chokes up some. A reminder of exactly the kind of thing a president is supposed to do, Like say, Geo. Bush after 9/11. Not rocket science to say a few words. Trump hasn't yet to my knowledge, not a single word, actually never talking directly to American citizens at all., much less the actual victims. Never played that character, only did the 'you're fired' one? So cold.)

The poster child for all the terrible things that would happen to a child if they played too many games on the internet. How the hell will they ever get a real job?

In reply to You buried the lede"...

He spends most of his time staring at himself and talking purty to himself. I don't need to get dragged into a golf carts discussion - he's an onanistic egotistic peabrain who spends most of any conversation looking for ways he can flatter himself, and most of his day staring at TV looking at his ratings and any mentions to protest or get excited about. Many people expected him to do his job, but the closest he'll come is continuing to bastardize even the few things he actually does, rather than tweet.
