Yes, but why do you think Mr Trump changed his rock-solid stance on all those things if the electorate are only interested in the Donald?

because , unlike the rigid "ideologically possessed" idealogue, trump doesnt cling onto ideas like an anally retentive pedant.

he flows like water, he is unpredictable and chaotic

thats whats entertaining.

trump could step straight into game of thrones as a character and we would all watch.

how would liz warren or sleepy joe go as a character in game of thrones?
maybe they could get a job on the set, polishing donalds boots

So basically you're saying he flip-flops. I agree horse boy

Not as much as aqua flip-flops though.

Aquascoot's just vibing with the Donald. You watch, when Mr Trump armits he's really a card-carrying, white racial supremacist, Aquascoot will praise him for being a Real American. When Mr Trump confesses he's been Putin's Manchurian candidate all along, Aquascoot will congratulate him for being good for Russians too. When Mr Trump says, okay, I raped that kid, Aquascoot will say good on him for sowing his wild oats.

Actually, I'm pretty sure Aquascoot's said all these things.

Aquascoot, you see, has been consistent all along.

Just heard of this...

'A Very Stable Genius'

The title is from a quote by Trump, himself, about... himself...

And just when you thought Americans are wired to not get irony...

One of Trump's greatest personal tragedies is that he's capable of hilarious self-deprecation but cursed to never be aware of it...

A truly subconscious accomplished comedian.

That's just Mr Trump practicing affirmations.

You know, like: every day, in every way, things just keep getting better and better.

Repetition, that's the key. Tell your subconscious something nice and you start to believe it.

Neitzsche said all this years ago - not in an actual book or anything, but you can find it on Wikipedia somewhere.

The Donald discovered the principle a few years later and turned it into his spiritual classic, the Art of the Deal.

5 years is the minimum, leftards.

Well... Just like all of us... We're all susceptible to the dopamine hit delivered by hyperbolic self-deception... Its just a question of degree.

Just like a hit of meth I'd guess would be closer.

That's okay. You need a little something on the "narrow road to success". Back in Mr Trump's day it was coke. Everybody was doing it.

Mr won't touch it, of course, but if it helps you to hear the truth, it's all good.

Mr Trump said that in the Art of the Deal. Check it on Wikipedia if you don't believe me.

George W Bush had to beat Jeb to get George Snr to approve G W. So the Sadam Hussein war was better than George Snrs war and made George W the greatest.

Donald reached the sky with dad's millions but it still wasn't Donald's money. It needs... smash Kin Jong Un , flatten Iran, put Democrats in the bin, shaft Biden and his boy, zap Mexico - Bolivia, bankrupt China, time is nearly up.

pay attention

We are, dear. While the chodes are swallowing the tactics you're selling, we're paying attention, we're asking questions, we're curious.

You?

No you're not paying attention and the evidence for that is crystal clear
If the intellectual left
Hollywood
The establishment in Washington
And the mainstream media were paying attention
They would have been very comfortable with the result of the 2016 election

You really should study the thoughts of William James and the pragmatists
The only original group of American philosophers

You constantly accused trump of not telling the truth
Trump's lies are usually inconsequential and white lies
Sort of like telling your children but the stork delivers babies
It's more a bulshit story than a lie

But what William James said was
How can we know the truth
We can't because we are ignorant

The only way we can no a truth is to run an experiment judge the outcome of the experiment
And then the outcome of the experiment is true enough
And posit that is the truth

In 2016
A giant experiment was run in the democracy of the United States of America
And the fact that trump won that game
Is true enough
We can't know anything more true than that

The fact that the intellectual left
The mainstream media
The establishment in Washington
Can't or won't accept that as the truth
Shows that is they who have lost the ability to know up from down
Trump derangement syndrome is really no more than a psychological diagnosis of people who cannot accept the truth
So if we are going to talk about liars
Trump's lies are small and inconsequential
The lies of the left go write to their core
They embody that lie
They are living that lie
They are nothing but lie

There's an idea in the old testament at the burning bush represents a similar story to the phoenix
A story of burning off all that is a lie
And being reborn

But if we took a torch to those of the intellectual left and burnt off what was a lie
They would probably perish
They are 99% Deadwood

Trump
Sure he's got a few twigs of Deadwood
He likes to tell a few fibs
Embellish the truth

But his core is pretty rock solid
He paid attention
From William James perspective he looked at the game that was being played
And then he played that game
And he won that game
So trump like it or not is the truth
The truth is that trump won the 2016 election
And trump resides in the oval office
The left should have come to terms with this by 6 a.m. the day after the election
And yet here we are nearly 4 years down the track
And they still have not even begun the slow methodical demolition of the presuppositions that leaves them living a total and complete catastrophic lie

Indeed.
The only thing the Dems are offering is racour and spite.
Same by their partisans here.
Will that win?

Just apply the Tony Schwartz test...

Trump's statements and actions

1. will have an utter disregard for the truth and an air of a lack of conscience about that fact. Any correlation with the truth will be coincidental.
2. will be driven entirely by what he would perceive as his immediate self interest.
3. even when patently false, their repetition over time will betray his inability to ever admit that he is wrong about anything.

What a stupid ignorant OP!

Undeniably true.

For his entire life, Trump has only ever done things that will be of some benefit to himself.

Undeniably true.

For his entire life, Trump has only ever done things that will be of some benefit to himself.

Mr Trump is notoriously stingy when it comes to charity, but do you know?

Back in the day, he'd rock up to New York charity PR gigs and push his way onto the stage.

Yes, there were the papers and the TV news covering a drive for MS or kids with cancer or whatever, and there would be Mr Trump, pushing his way into the stage to have his photo taken for the tabloids.

One time, he even talked some guy into letting him present the big cheque. It'll make the news if I do it, he said.

Mr Trump never mentioned the guy who gave the money.

Mr Trump, you see, was desperate to break into the New York establishment, but he didn't want to do the one thing they expect: giving back. You know, nobless oblige.

So Mr Trump faked that too. His chauffeur would drop him out the front, and he'd storm in at the end to make the photo. His PR guy "John Barron" would then announce his attendance to the gossip columns, who'd publish the photo.

Cunning, no? Cometh the hour, cometh the man.
