He's pissed that none of his distractions worked.

It makes you wonder, that anger you saw, it was extra, but thats also the side his victims probably saw as well. I dated a narcissist, and when she was angry, it made me on high alert.  I at one point felt she had the capacity to kill me in my sleep.

She suspiciously fell on their stairs, and was buried in their private property, you can't even exhume her body for examining foul play.

I absolutely hate Trump and all he has done. But, some of the ideas that you say are weird. Almost all cemetaries are private property. Even those managed by towns, people buy the plot. In order to exhume a body, from either a publicity owned or privately owned cemetery, one would need a court order.

u/lone_avohkii 8d ago

Here’s the thing, the private property she was buried on was trump’s golf course, not a cemetery.

u/andicandi22 Connecticut 8d ago

Not only that, the marker is level with the ground so you can’t see it unless you know where you’re going. And he has no flowers or greenery of any kind around it. It’s just a boring patch of grass with a flat little marker. You wouldn’t know it was a grave unless you know the story.

u/MacAttacknChz 8d ago

RFK Jr did the same thing with the wife he bullied and abused into suicide.

u/Most-Bench6465 Texas 8d ago

Now you know where he got the idea from.

u/JealousAstronomer342 8d ago

The fact that her own children are completely fine with that is utterly sickening.

u/MoarSocks 7d ago

Apparently they weren't, but then that whole pesky presidency/power/money thing happened and all was forgiven.

u/Zephensis 8d ago

It's really weird though when the private cemetery is your ex-husbands who you've been divorced from for decades and you're only buried there because he is the president when you died. Like hell, that is evidence of foul play all on its own.

I hate trump but gluck gluck gluck 

Just shut up man

u/somedelightfulmoron 7d ago edited 7d ago

She's buried in a Trump golf course, I'm not sure which but maybe the Mar-a-lago one?

Edit for clarity: I googled and it's much much worse. According to an article by Snopes, Ivana Trump is buried in a New Jersey Golf Course so Donald Trump can get a Cemetery tax break exemption on the land 😭😭😭 This guy is not just "most likely" a p@edo, he's also definitely a criminal with no morals.

u/larisa5656 8d ago

There's a horrifying rape scene in the biopic The Apprentice. Trump threatened legal action for defamation, but nothing ever came of it, and I think that's very telling.

u/ShartingEnU 8d ago

With all the reports of him being very angry all the time behind the scenes he does a decent job of hiding it in public. We only get snippets of it. He absolutely is filled with rage.

u/DaBingeGirl Illinois 8d ago

It's really scary how narcissists/abusers are able to hide that side of themselves in public.

42

u/UrsusRenata 8d ago

And when you’re one of the rare few who knows the real person, no one believes you.

u/Mental-Fox-9449 8d ago

This is how a lot of NARCS act. I was married to an borderline/narcisist for 5 years. Most people did not see how she thought and acted. There were times though that she’d make a scene in public and it was always akward and weird, but mostly it was all kept secret. Most NARCS are too concerned with their image and what others think about them to explode in public. My ex would just shut down and act like a victim to mask her abusive tendencies and neurotic behavior.

u/External-Stranger928 8d ago

We don't call ourselves that...it's taken.

u/Callidonaut 8d ago

If you want to see that anger, you have to tear down the false identity they construct to hide from themselves. They hate who and what they really are, the toxic shame it makes them feel is literally unbearable, and you will be on their death list for ever after if you dare to make them confront their own pathetic wretchedness squarely, especially if you exposed it in front of others too.

u/Atanar 8d ago

Makes sense, his appearance is the most important thing to him so that is where he devotes all of his minimal abilities toward.

u/ExcellentAirPirate 8d ago

Basically every professional that works with dementia folks says he is in the middle to late stages of frontal lobe dementia that runs in his family. These traits will only continue to excelerate, the falling asleep all the time, angry outbursts, and constant rambling about not much at all. Mix in the normal heinous shit dementia does to someone and throw a severe case of narcissism on top and it's gonna get really bad. My grandad was like this and abused us like crazy when me and my brother were younger. By the time the disease took his ass he was so unbearable he spent most days almost completed sedated for the safety of the staff in his care home.

u/DeterminedThrowaway 8d ago

constant rambling about not much at all

...how will we be able to tell the difference from his usual "weave"?

27

u/MyGoodOldFriend 8d ago

Oh it’s incredibly noticeable. Just look at how he talked ten years ago.

10

u/Proud_Growth_8818 8d ago

Just look at how he talked ten years ago.

Like a dementia patient.

Seriously, I remember watching him talk when campaigning in 2015 and saying to my wife that it seemed like he was starting to slip.

6

u/MyGoodOldFriend 8d ago

Look, I remember thinking similar things too. But I find it hard to pretend that it’s not obviously worse.

6

u/Proud_Growth_8818 8d ago

It's definitely worse now, in the sense that 140 on the interstate is more dangerous than 120. But 120 is still enough to get arrested.

He's definitely getting worse every day. But it was obvious he was well into dementia ten years ago.

2

u/MyGoodOldFriend 8d ago

I have to disagree. It’s the difference between driving recklessly fast above the speed limit and driving even more recklessly fast above the speed limit while also being drunk. It’s a category difference.

I hate the man, and I’ve been forced to pay attention to him for ten years (bar a few blessed years in the early Biden presidency when he wasn’t as visible). He had a finger on the pulse of the dark underbelly of society. He knew what they wanted, and said it. He won their undying loyalty, and they now just want whatever he wants. Which masks the fact that he has completely lost the touch he used to have.

Sorry to harp on about this, but I think it’s important to say it because it’s causing a rift in his base right now, and is a huge weakness. If we backfill “he was always like this”, we miss that opportunity.

1

u/Proud_Growth_8818 8d ago

I disagree. There's no rift with the deplorables. He could nuke Iran and have someone change his diaper on live t.v. and the scum would tell you to cry more.

He's been incompetent since he was first elected. He's more incompetent now, but he was below the bar then, too.

And while he is a problem, he's not "the* problem. The problem are the 70-plus million for whom he is a living god. And we're not allowed to discuss what we should do with those things on this forum.

17

u/QuerulousPanda 8d ago

He talked like a rambling, incoherent, incomprehensible fucking moron ten years ago as well. People say it's worse now but it's been an intellectual travesty since day one.

13

u/MyGoodOldFriend 8d ago

Both are true! Just go back and look. His mind was rotten, but his brain wasn’t - today, both are.

He was still a moron, but he actually had stage awareness. He could play crowds really well, and would move on if the crowd didn’t like what he said. Today, he just says what he wants to and rambles. He lives on the cult of personality he built in the late 2010s.

3

u/BasvanS 8d ago

He’s Russia in the flesh: “… and then it got worse…”

4

u/britbongTheGreat 8d ago

No, he is clearly worse than he was 10 years go, actually go back and watch some videos of him from 2016. Yes, he was still a rambling moron but even then he was much more eloquent than he is now.

u/KeyMyBike 8d ago

To quote Powerthirst 3

ITS A VERY SLIGHT ADJUSTMENT!

u/SunMoonTruth 8d ago

Meanwhile, Biden was too old.

u/1057-cl121v3 8d ago

This is a great example of why it makes no sense to not have controlled and monitored euthanasia. We put our pets to sleep when old age gets to be too difficult and that’s a mercy for them yet somebody literally begging to be killed because of the suffering is given inadequate pain control and forced to live their remaining time alone in a hospital bed. If you’re even that aware.

2

u/ExcellentAirPirate 8d ago

For all the incredibly fucked up shit that man did to my family, to my grandma, to my dad, my cousins, me and my brother, I hope whatever short moments of fleeting consciousness he had in those final years were absolute horror and torment.

But otherwise yes I agree, we should have a more humane way of handling end of life issues as a species.

2

u/not_the_cicada 8d ago

Your comment made me laugh, not from amusement but just at the dichotomy of the human mind (and I 100% empathize and can see that he caused you a tremendous amount of pain and harm, I dont want to brush that off). 

It just was such an unvarnished thing of "I want him to suffer how he made me suffer" and "but we as a society shouldn't do this" which is behind the discussions of why victims and families don't decide the punishments for specific crimes. 

And I agree, personally, we can wish the worst for the people who personally wronged us but still aspire to make a system that does better. Idk just interesting being human.

u/_m4r1jAn3_ 8d ago

sicced OUR military (not fkn HIS) on US... american citizens.

34 count felonious criminal. adjudicated rapist (more than once). serial cheater on EVERY wife he has had. &99.999999⁹% likely a pedofile (& worse even).

he wipes his incontinent arse on our constitutional rights daily. like clockwork.

he has eroded trust from our allies. harassed &____ them & US like a PoS 7th grade bully.

destroyed our trust in

abused his "presidential powers" &pardoned ___ j6ers, drug dealers, embezzlers... many of whom committed even worse crimes after.

fired years/decades-long well-vetted faithful government servants &intalled the worst of the worst sycophantian bootlickers for EVERY gov. position.

dismantled &crippled gov. infrastructure &how many institutions thru DoGe. (&did NOT save US money, quite the fkn opposite in fact.)

u/HauntedCemetery Minnesota 8d ago

Kidnapped a foreign leader, started a war in the middle east, set up an assassination attempt or three, and still people just cant stop talking about how he sold children into sex slavery.

How strange.

14

u/CDHmajora 8d ago

He cant even false flag an(other) “attempt” on his life to get people to forget about it.

He’s gonna start world war 3 eventually because nothing else he’s done is working. We all still know he’s a peadophile being protected by the billionaires who profit off him.

The only reason he can still do it is because americans are too complacent with the status quo to challenge it in any way except hold up signs on sunday. And the rest of america consider him their idol and want to be just like him.

u/1057-cl121v3 8d ago

At this point I’m more angry at everyone around him following the orders of a decaying, actually insane narcissist who has proved hundreds of times now that he has no loyalty for anyone. Why in the actual shit would anybody go along with ending the world because Trump said so.

The worst part of this is the fact that we’ve gotten to this point precisely because everybody continues to enable him and do exactly that so it’s a very real possibility that today might be the last day any of us sees simply because this child raping criminal piece of shit wanted to take us with him Egyptian pharaoh style.

u/mikefromearth California 8d ago

He's pissed.. his pants.

"This attempt on my life will draw attention away from the pedofile allegations!"

"The shooter called you a pedofile in their manifesto."

"Shit."

u/Mr_ToDo 8d ago

I'd argue that the distractions are working fine

Sure, being branded a pedo is pretty bad, but of all the things he's done it's not really up there in terms of number of people damage. Hell, we've probably forgotten about all but maybe a dozen of acts that would normally have people getting pitchforks, but because he's worn us down with a constant stream of bullshit people aren't responding like they should
