      He’s too narcissistic for that.

      Chances are he’ll believe what his Jesus followers are saying and think that Jesus DID actually save him because he’s the chosen one

        No, people with NPD are constantly haunted by their mistakes, failures, and anxieties. Trump is an asshole because he’s neurotypical.

            I don’t think you know anything about psychiatry, seeing as you’re using the name of a fake disorder. Sociopathy isn’t really in the DSM, it’s not a mental disorder. It’s fake. You’ve been hoodwinked. It’s just Greek for socially ill person. You know, like autism. So forgive me for thinking you don’t know what you’re talking about when you say Trump has autism.

              Wow, you’re so clever you couldn’t even go to wiki for one second. Sociopathy is, in fact, real and refers to Antisocial Personality Disorder.

                Ohhhhhhh. Okay, I understand now. You were using a controversial slur to refer to a disorder whose actual name you full well know. Sorry, I was giving you the benefit of the doubt and starting from the assumption you didn’t hate disabled people. I understand now.

                  Don’t worry, much like sociopathy the current term will eventually also become a slur and need to be renamed again. This is the way of such things - so long as the thing is seen as something negative, the term for being/having that thing will take on a negative connotation over time. Several rounds of this is why the language has become so wordy and bloodless - if it’s enough of a pain to repeat in full every time it takes longer for it to become a slur.

              Why don’t you whip out the ol DSM and read about antisocial personality disorder? Call it psychopathy, or sociopathy, or APD. A rose by any other name.

                I’m not going to do that, because I don’t call disabilities by slurs. I typically use the actual names of the disabilities instead.

                It’s not what they meant, but it’s what they said. They failed to say what they mean because they don’t know what they’re talking about.

                  it’s what they said.

                  They said it? Out loud? With their mouth? Funny how it got on your screen, then.

                  Oh, no, they typed it, which is different. But somehow not a problem because words can mean multiple things. And you know what someone is saying about The Idiot’s visible personality disorder, as surely as I know you didn’t think they made that comment through dictation.

    It’s infuriating that people have forgotten about how utterly horrid trump was as president. From disbanding the NSC pandemic unit which led to a bungled COVID response, pretending COVID was no big deal (leading to hundreds of thousands of unnecessary deaths compared to other leading economies), crashing the economy leading to massive inflation by running it hot and gutting tax revenues (the Economist was warning about this in 2018), and of course leading an insurrection against the United States. HOW FUCKING STUPID ARE PEOPLE WHO VOTE FOR THIS TURD?!?!?!?

          KGB and CIA agents are sharing drinks at a bar.

          CIA turns to KGB and says, “I’ve got to hand it to you. The Russians have some of the best propagandists in the business. I’m always amazed at what you can convince people to believe.”

          KGB smiles wryly and retorts, “Ah, but nobody is better at telling lies than the Americans. You’ve got your whole country fooled.”

          The CIA agent spits out his drink and turns to his Russian counterpart, “What are you talking about? There’s no propaganda in America.”

          The KGB agent breaks out laughing.

    These calls for unity are empty. He spouted hatred since day 1 of his election run. I’m not fooled he had a “come to Jesus moment”

    He still hates and has surrounded himself with the worst people in America. He may have survived an assassination attempt, he still doesn’t have my vote.

      There is one correct response to trump getting shot.

      Thoughts and Prayers.

      He’s been using violent divisive rhetoric since day 1. He’s been degrading political discourse into even less productive name calling, baseless claims, and stochastic terrorism. Reap what you sow. I’m not upset that trump was shot. I’m upset that someone took a shot at him.

          About 14k homicides in the US total per year (using 2019 numbers).

          About 3300 of these were done with a firearm of unknown type, about 360 with a rifle, about 200 with a shotgun and about 6400 with a handgun.

          If we assume the unknown firearms are split the same way as the rifle/handgun split of known firearm homicides then it’s about 535 with rifles and about 9525 with handguns. Realistically, it’s probably tilted farther towards handguns, just because they are easier to dispose of and harder to recover, but it’s close enough. Not including shotguns in that calculation because while there are lots of cases where a given round could come from a handgun or a rifle, there aren’t many cases where the same round could have come from one of those or a shotgun.

          To continue the breakdown beyond just shootings, about 1500 homicides per year are from knives, about 1600 from other weapons (blunt objects, explosives, poisons, etc) and about 600 done unarmed.

          Usual for a shooting in the US is someone engaging in another sort of crime shooting someone else, often someone engaging in a related criminal activity with a handgun. Think gang violence, drug deals gone wrong, that sort of thing. There’s a reason gun crime rates are heavily concentrated in cities, and in specific neighborhoods within those cities and it’s not because gun control or gun culture is radically different a few blocks away.

    Historically, more often than not, when a narcissistic megalomaniac is victim of a close call of targeted violence against them, rather than them becoming more empathetic with the sadly large swathe of humanity that also often faces targeted violence, they just double down on their own paranoia.
