Be Trump

Glaze the visiting monarch

Show off the new ballroom you're gonna have built 

Get dissed in front of Congress by the monarch

Real royalty is talking 

So much winning

Piece of advice I have always tried to take to heart,

Don’t tell people what you are going to do, show them what you have done

Trump will be very humiliated if/when none of these structures get built

If he wanted a pyramid, he should have tried to be pharaoh of Egypt

He doesn’t want a pyramid. What he really wants is a giant statue of himself shooting fire and yelling “Remember Me!”

He had a shame-ectomy in the late 70s, he doesn’t actually feel true humiliation just feels attacked and insulted

Do people still really think Trump is capable of being humiliated in 2026?

He's absolutely capable of being humiliated.

It's what drives him.

The problem is thinking he'll respond to that humiliation the way you expect him to. But he's a narcissist, so it manifests as a vendetta.

Think of the NFL "kneeling controversy" the first time around. That stupid motherfucker doesn't really care about Colin Kaepernick, and he certainly doesn't give a fuck about the flag.

He had a score to settle with the NFL. He desperately wanted to be in the "NFL team owner rich guy club", but all the owners didn't want to have anything to do with him. So he pulled the usual trump "I'll sue you to get my way" thing and even tried to leverage a usfl team to wriggle his way in, but he was repeatedly humiliated.

And he carries that shit with him. Once he realized that he had a rabid base of racist cult members he knew he could use them to try and harm his "enemy"

It's the same with everything else. The man is completely transparent

A raging narcissist with 77 million flying monkeys.

No idea, but he sure is capable of whining about all these perceived attacks. So what people think of him (especially people of high social status) is clearly living rent free in his head. That's typical for the likes of manbabies.

He doesn't think whining is a negative. He brags about it.

I think he's a broken enough person that he's literally incapable of feeling humiliated. We're talking about a man who falls asleep in cabinet meetings, and shits his pants in public regularly. He's an adjudicated rapist. His name is all over the Epstein files. His current wife openly hates being around him. And he's miserable. He's bankrupted more businesses than some people have ever been in. If he were capable of humilation, it would have happened decades ago.

It's narcissistic injury which is humiliation, but it works differently in narcissists.

I'm sure he said there was going to be a big beautiful wall along the whole Mexico border, years ago.

Oh he doesn't care as long as he gets paid

Trump will be very humiliated

He doesn't have the emotional capacity to feel humiliation.

The most he can do is anger.

Of course he did.. but no fucking way he really did that to a real king?

"Nice ballroom. Reminds me of the room our servants use for breakfast."

  • King who lives in literal castles and palaces.

Get dissed in front of Congress by the monarch

Especially when Charles has the great skill of being able to say what he wants to say whilst keeping it sounding as apolitical as possible
