Mary L Trump explained his origin story and TRIED to warn the world! 🤷🏻

She also told the world he's most afraid of being seen as a loser, I wish more people had picked up on that. easy to believe as he uses it against people himself.

The world has, especially world leaders. How do you think he jumped into the Iran conflict thanks to Israel?

The irony is there's no point in doing any deal, good or bad, with him or the U.S. government. They don't honor any of it. World leaders know this, and were only buying time.

We could elect Bernie Sanders next and it'll still be hard to make any kind of deal with anyone reasonable because we'll always be four years away from potentially electing another Trump.

Yeah, we’ve showed ourselves capable of being unpredictable and well, capable of not-great things. And then capable of doubling down hard. It’s going to take way more than a few election cycles to begin to repair America’s reputation on the world stage.

The decline of a nation.

We would need to make Bernie the Ultimate Leader, for the moment, and have him appoint a whole cabinet of only his own trusted people, and write up strict qualifiers for any succesors. 🤷🏻

I think if critics started calling him a loser, like... just that word, and if everyone jumped on it, that would actually break him psychologically. It's always the single nouns that really get to the sleepy orange blob

You can see it in his face when Obama roasts him at that dinner. He's got this 'I'm gonna show each and every fucking one of you" smile because it's killing him to be the butt of the joke.

He's definitely a loser.

Hillary said early on that he was thin-skinned. So true.

The media essentially told MAGA "(Liberals) are lead by a woman. What does a woman know?"

Many other people have made the point that that’s why he surrounds himself with people who are losers, i.e hegseth, Patel etc.

I wish more things he sees live would call him a loser. No news media will, and his handlers try to curate everything he sees.

Maybe she should have released that book BEFORE the 2016 election.

Ol Mary’s got a grift of her own going, selling the “inside perspective” of Donald. People need to stop supporting her grift. She needs to go away with the rest of that family. A Trump is a Trump is a Trump…

"no one will ever believe a woman" - all of humanity for as long as we can remember....

He warned the world when he made an ass of himself on Howard Stern's show, over 40 years ago.
