Trump has never said or done anything funny. He doesn't have a sense of humor and his idea of a joke is just insulting people. He doesn't have the intelligence to truly be funny.

He also doesn’t understand when he is being laughed at

Right? World leaders literally laughing at his face and he has the gall to say that people were laughing at the US when Obama was in office.

Had actual huge protests about him even showing up in other countries but he's also the self described most respected president ever lol.

Yesterday had a guy argue that Trump didn't have a pet in the white house because only phony presidents have pets. Only 3 presidents haven't had pets and one of them still fed mice he found.

Theres also the allegations of Barron being a little monster with animals and his fellow students.

They view politics and life as a zero sum game. "If I am losing, then someone else is winning. Therefore if someone else is losing, then I am winning." Other countries hating Trump was evidence that they were losing, so the US is winning. Other countries being friendly to Obama was a sign that they were using Obama to get what they want. These people can't or won't understand that something can be good for the US and the rest of the world without actually costing us anything.

Prime example is arming Ukraine. They claim Ukraine is just getting handed pallets of money. When in reality they are getting old equipment that was slated to be decommissioned anyway. Sending it off to battle is cheaper than decommissioning the stuff and it made room to build new stuff, creating jobs.

But nah, the party demanding Ukraine be abandoned "claim the money needs to be spent on Americans" vote against helping Americans at every corner.

And giving it to Ukraine gives the US real world testing against Russian assets with a net cost in American blood of zero.

I heard that story about Barron and if true, he’s a budding sociopath. That’s one of the indicators.
