Trump's tie is too long, at most it should be as low as the belt buckle when standing.

Incidentally does anyone know the name or location of the hilltop stand of trees behind the capital, if you'd turn around 180 degrees from the view in the photo?
On the skyline as it was, it looked like a rather nice spot .

Pretty much yeah, the low turnout is unsurprising, but still funny. Especially if the Women's March in DC tomorrow has a huge turnout.

So have the Clintons been entirely ignored the entire Transition and Inauguration, i.e. no meetings and conciliatory mentions?
Former Obama speechwriter Favreau on Twitter:
QuoteThat was like a bad liberal parody of a Republican president's inaugural address.
Quote from: Phillip V on January 20, 2017, 01:01:05 PM
So have the Clintons been entirely ignored the entire Transition and Inauguration, i.e. no meetings and conciliatory mentions?
Their e-mail address was not deemed safe.
The speech, in all its glory, to be memorialized for the ages:
Chief Justice Roberts, President Carter, President Clinton, President Bush, President Obama, fellow Americans, and people of the world: thank you.
We, the citizens of America, are now joined in a great national effort to rebuild our country and to restore its promise for all of our people.
Together, we will determine the course of America and the world for years to come.
We will face challenges. We will confront hardships. But we will get the job done.
Every four years, we gather on these steps to carry out the orderly and peaceful transfer of power, and we are grateful to President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama for their gracious aid throughout this transition. They have been magnificent.
Today's ceremony, however, has very special meaning. Because today we are not merely transferring power from one Administration to another, or from one party to another – but we are transferring power from Washington, D.C. and giving it back to you, the American People.
For too long, a small group in our nation's Capital has reaped the rewards of government while the people have borne the cost.
Washington flourished – but the people did not share in its wealth.
Politicians prospered – but the jobs left, and the factories closed.
The establishment protected itself, but not the citizens of our country.
Their victories have not been your victories; their triumphs have not been your triumphs; and while they celebrated in our nation's Capital, there was little to celebrate for struggling families all across our land.
That all changes – starting right here, and right now, because this moment is your moment: it belongs to you.
It belongs to everyone gathered here today and everyone watching all across America.
This is your day. This is your celebration.
And this, the United States of America, is your country.
What truly matters is not which party controls our government, but whether our government is controlled by the people.
January 20th 2017, will be remembered as the day the people became the rulers of this nation again.
The forgotten men and women of our country will be forgotten no longer.
Everyone is listening to you now.
You came by the tens of millions to become part of a historic movement the likes of which the world has never seen before.
At the center of this movement is a crucial conviction: that a nation exists to serve its citizens.
Americans want great schools for their children, safe neighborhoods for their families, and good jobs for themselves.
These are the just and reasonable demands of a righteous public.
But for too many of our citizens, a different reality exists: Mothers and children trapped in poverty in our inner cities; rusted-out factories scattered like tombstones across the landscape of our nation; an education system, flush with cash, but which leaves our young and beautiful students deprived of knowledge; and the crime and gangs and drugs that have stolen too many lives and robbed our country of so much unrealized potential.
This American carnage stops right here and stops right now.
We are one nation – and their pain is our pain. Their dreams are our dreams; and their success will be our success. We share one heart, one home, and one glorious destiny.
The oath of office I take today is an oath of allegiance to all Americans.
For many decades, we've enriched foreign industry at the expense of American industry;
Subsidized the armies of other countries while allowing for the very sad depletion of our military;
We've defended other nation's borders while refusing to defend our own;
And spent trillions of dollars overseas while America's infrastructure has fallen into disrepair and decay.
We've made other countries rich while the wealth, strength, and confidence of our country has disappeared over the horizon.
One by one, the factories shuttered and left our shores, with not even a thought about the millions upon millions of American workers left behind.
The wealth of our middle class has been ripped from their homes and then redistributed across the entire world.
But that is the past. And now we are looking only to the future.
We assembled here today are issuing a new decree to be heard in every city, in every foreign capital, and in every hall of power.
From this day forward, a new vision will govern our land.
From this moment on, it's going to be America First.
Every decision on trade, on taxes, on immigration, on foreign affairs, will be made to benefit American workers and American families.
We must protect our borders from the ravages of other countries making our products, stealing our companies, and destroying our jobs. Protection will lead to great prosperity and strength.
I will fight for you with every breath in my body – and I will never, ever let you down.
America will start winning again, winning like never before.
We will bring back our jobs. We will bring back our borders. We will bring back our wealth. And we will bring back our dreams.
We will build new roads, and highways, and bridges, and airports, and tunnels, and railways all across our wonderful nation.
We will get our people off of welfare and back to work – rebuilding our country with American hands and American labor.
We will follow two simple rules: Buy American and Hire American.
We will seek friendship and goodwill with the nations of the world – but we do so with the understanding that it is the right of all nations to put their own interests first.
We do not seek to impose our way of life on anyone, but rather to let it shine as an example for everyone to follow.
We will reinforce old alliances and form new ones – and unite the civilized world against Radical Islamic Terrorism, which we will eradicate completely from the face of the Earth.
At the bedrock of our politics will be a total allegiance to the United States of America, and through our loyalty to our country, we will rediscover our loyalty to each other.
When you open your heart to patriotism, there is no room for prejudice.
The Bible tells us, "how good and pleasant it is when God's people live together in unity."
We must speak our minds openly, debate our disagreements honestly, but always pursue solidarity.
When America is united, America is totally unstoppable.
There should be no fear – we are protected, and we will always be protected.
We will be protected by the great men and women of our military and law enforcement and, most importantly, we are protected by God.
Finally, we must think big and dream even bigger.
In America, we understand that a nation is only living as long as it is striving.
We will no longer accept politicians who are all talk and no action – constantly complaining but never doing anything about it.
The time for empty talk is over.
Now arrives the hour of action.
Do not let anyone tell you it cannot be done. No challenge can match the heart and fight and spirit of America.
We will not fail. Our country will thrive and prosper again.
We stand at the birth of a new millennium, ready to unlock the mysteries of space, to free the Earth from the miseries of disease, and to harness the energies, industries and technologies of tomorrow.
A new national pride will stir our souls, lift our sights, and heal our divisions.
It is time to remember that old wisdom our soldiers will never forget: that whether we are black or brown or white, we all bleed the same red blood of patriots, we all enjoy the same glorious freedoms, and we all salute the same great American Flag.
And whether a child is born in the urban sprawl of Detroit or the windswept plains of Nebraska, they look up at the same night sky, they fill their heart with the same dreams, and they are infused with the breath of life by the same almighty Creator.
So to all Americans, in every city near and far, small and large, from mountain to mountain, and from ocean to ocean, hear these words:
You will never be ignored again.
Your voice, your hopes, and your dreams, will define our American destiny. And your courage and goodness and love will forever guide us along the way.
Together, We Will Make America Strong Again.
We Will Make America Wealthy Again.
We Will Make America Proud Again.
We Will Make America Safe Again.
And, Yes, Together, We Will Make America Great Again. Thank you, God Bless You, And God Bless America.

Quote
My countrymen, one and all, think calmly and well upon this whole subject. Nothing valuable can be lost by taking time. If there be an object to hurry any of you in hot haste to a step which you would never take deliberately, that object will be frustrated by taking time; but no good object can be frustrated by it. Such of you as are now dissatisfied still have the old Constitution unimpaired, and, on the sensitive point, the laws of your own framing under it; while the new Administration will have no immediate power, if it would, to change either. If it were admitted that you who are dissatisfied hold the right side in the dispute, there still is no single good reason for precipitate action. Intelligence, patriotism, Christianity, and a firm reliance on Him who has never yet forsaken this favored land are still competent to adjust in the best way all our present difficulty.
In your hands, my dissatisfied fellow-countrymen, and not in mine, is the momentous issue of civil war. The Government will not assail you. You can have no conflict without being yourselves the aggressors. You have no oath registered in heaven to destroy the Government, while I shall have the most solemn one to "preserve, protect, and defend it."
I am loath to close. We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battlefield and patriot grave to every living heart and hearthstone all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union, when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.

I thought people voted for Trump because they had no job because the evil establishment sent them all to China? Huh.

No it's because they couldn't afford the stuff Trump produced in China.
You got that wrong. People with jobs voted Trump as shepherds of their unemployed brethren, so Trump could provide them with jobs, so that they didn't have to mooch off of working people's taxes anymore. :P
Meh, piss on it. I'm going to get a couple burgers at Five Guys. It's that kind of depressing. Time for some comfort food and a hypertensive crisis.

Trump seems to be going for the gruff tough guy persona for the Presidency compared to Obama's shining smiling face. Sad!

January 20 by Antonio Olivo
Disappointment with parade: 'It's almost like a funeral'
Near the end of the parade at 15th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue, the crowd was quiet. Some people took selfies as the various military color guards passed by. Otherwise, silence when the vehicles cruised past.
"It's almost like a funeral," Scott McGrady, 50, said to no one in particular.
A regular inaugural parade attendee since Richard Nixon took the oath of office in 1969, McGrady said he was excited to be in the spot along the parade route where the new president usually gets out to walk among the people.
Trump did not do that. The president's limousine rolled by the grandstand, and inside, Trump appeared to be looking straight ahead.
McGrady, an air conditioner salesman from Annapolis, clapped anyway. He voted for Trump and is hopeful that the new administration will boost the economy.
"I'm a salesman," he said. "Whenever the economy improves, it's good for me."
Still, he was disappointed by the crowd's mood, and that Trump didn't step outside — especially so close to the new Trump Hotel.
"I thought he'd see that as a photo opp for sure," McGrady said. "I mean, he's supposed to be a man of the people. I know that sounds negative since I voted for him. But he should have got out."
As Vice President Pence passed by, McGrady and about a dozen others in the grandstand clapped again.
Nearby, a man turned to his girlfriend to remark on the quiet.
"It's so much more peaceful on this side," he said.

That's one of those "duh!" petitions. Yes, trump
should divest his financial and business holdings and have them administered by a truly blind trust, but only if he wants to "avoid the appearance of conflicts of interest, corruption, and violations of the emoluments clause of the US Constitution." I don't think he particularly wants to do that, and a petition that just says what someone should do isn't worth shit. You could petition that Trump actually do something, but it makes no sense to petition that he should do something.

Yes, we need to have front-page reports when trash cans get overturned or store windows get broken. The term "riot" is hilariously overblown when used to describe the disturbances in DC.
I think a violent riot protesting the presidential inauguration is an important news story
(edit) if it gets overblown, it gets overblown. that doesn't make it a trivial, non-newsworthy story
If they were rampaging through Capitol Heights with Reince Preibus's head on a pike, then it'd be newsworthy. But alas, they weren't, so it isn't.

I would like an accurate report on what went down anyway. It sure seems like one side says 'peaceful protest' and the other says 'violent riot'. So knowing which is correct, or both are correct, or whatever would be nice.

Quote from: Financial Times tweetInauguration crowd size estimates are in:
-Trump 2017: 250,000
-Obama 2013: 1,000,000
-Obama 2009: 1,800,000

I mean...come on pal. I get the rage just following his election and all. But we have had two months to come to terms with the disaster. The time to rage and scream no to Trump is on election day 2018. Man that would make voting pretty entertaining.
I've certainly not come to terms with it.

Should've seen Spicer's first WH "press briefing": lectured the media on their coverage of the inauguration, and the size of the attendance between yesterday and today. It's always about size and numbers for The Donald.
The White House press secretary gave a statement on the inauguration crowd size. "This was the most watched inauguration ever. Period." The white flooring made it look like a smaller crowd, apparently.
Wow.
He's really pissed off. Ranting about tweets from the media, that they are covering the wrong stuff, etc.
Post-statement tweets from Washington reporters in disbelief are fun, but you know, also frightening.
If Donald J. Trump says he looked up and there were a million and a half people there, there were a million and half people there, because Donald J. Trump knows crowd estimates.
QuoteTrump also claimed that the rain should have scared people away, "But God looked down, and He said, 'We're not going to let it rain on your speech,'" and that, though he "got hit by a couple of drops" when he started his speech that the rain "stopped immediately ...and then it became really sunny."
In fact, neither of those claims is true, and it was raining during Trump's speech and remained overcast and cloudy.
We are all going to die.

LaCroix insists that Trump isn't pathologically narcissistic, and yet Trump lies frequently, blatantly, and with no concern at all that everyone can see that the trump has no clothes. If willful rejection of reality in favor of the fantasy that the sun was shining during his speech isn't pathological, nothing is. The sun simply had to be shining, because it is not possible for a Trump inauguration to have anything bad associated with it.
well, trump has shown he actually cares for those close around him. that's pretty big when discussing terms like NPD, sociopath, etc.

So someone said that someone else ("an insider") said that Trump felt guilty about firing someone. Excellent evidence. It certainly outweighs the fact that you, yourself, could see that it was raining during Trump's speech, Trump knows that millions of people saw this themselves, and yet Trump still insists that the sun was shining.
No, nothing pathological there. Nosiree, Bob. happens to everyday people all the time, just like everyday people boast that they can grab women by the pussy and get away with it because women find them so irresistibly sexy.

Now you are just getting silly. Anecdotes are not evidence of anything, and the moment you start telling me what I am saying and why I am saying it, and in doing so top it off with falling afoul of Godin's Law, I am done.
If you want to have an intellectual argument about Trump, take a step back, kick yourself in the ass for the lame "worse than Hitler" analogy, and decide that you are going to just argue against what I am saying, not against your own strawman arguments about what I am saying. Until you assure me that this will be your approach, I'm done discussing this with you. You've lost by GL anyway.

QuoteMiller and Bannon wrote Trump inaugural address: report
President Trump's inauguration speech was written by two of the president's closest aides and not Trump himself, the Wall Street Journal reported Saturday.
A White House official told the Journal that Trump's chief strategist Steve Bannon and senior advisor Stephen Miller penned the address.
Aides claimed before the speech that Trump was writing it on his own, and Trump even posted a photo to social media of himself with a pen and a pad that he claimed showed him writing the speech.
The speech struck an unusual tone for inaugural addresses. In it, Trump depicted the U.S. as a country ruled by a selfish political class and struggling to find its footing in a dangerous world.
Bannon, the former executive chairman of right-wing Breitbart News, is considered by many to be a controversial pick for Trump's White House strategist because of his ties to the conservative website.
"I don't think we've had a speech like that since Andrew Jackson came to the White House," Bannon told the Wall Street Journal. "It's got a deep, deep root of patriotism."
Miller wrote most of Trump's prepared speeches throughout his presidential campaign, and was tapped last month to pen the inauguration address, according to a Politico report.

CAKEGATE! :o
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/food/wp/2017/01/21/trump-had-a-huge-luxurious-inauguration-cake-was-it-plagiarized/?utm_term=.e2a7e89887e1
QuoteTrump's inaugural cake was commissioned to look exactly like Obama's, baker says
Amid the glitz of President Trump's inaugural festivities, one item stood out in particular late Friday night: a spectacular nine-tier cake that the new president and Vice President Pence cut into with a sword.
To pastry chef Duff Goldman, the cake seemed a little too familiar — because it looked almost exactly like one he had made years earlier for Barack Obama's second inauguration as president.
Just after midnight, the Food Network personality posted a side-by-side comparison of two cakes on his Twitter account.
On the left, Goldman wrote in the caption, was the cake he had created for the "Commander-in-Chief" inaugural ball in 2013. The one on the right was the cake that had just appeared at Trump's "Salute to Our Armed Services" ball.
It appeared nearly identical to Goldman's cake from four years ago, right down to the colors, the patriotic bunting, and the placement of several small silver stars and seals.
"I didn't make it," Goldman wrote about Trump's cake, adding a suspicious thinking-face emoji at the end.
Neither Goldman nor representatives from Trump's transition and inauguration teams responded to requests for comment Saturday morning, but Tiffany MacIsaac, owner of Washington's Buttercream Bakeshop, stepped forward to say she had been the one to create the much-talked-about cake.
[The Maggie Austin LaBaugh cakes that look like another baker's? 'An homage.']
She said that the order came in while she was out of town, and that the client had brought in a photo of the cake from Obama's inauguration asking her to re-create it.
"They came to us a couple of weeks ago, which is pretty last minute, and said 'We have a photo that we would like to replicate,' " MacIsaac told The Washington Post by phone. Her bakery tried to encourage the client to use the photo as "inspiration," as they do with many others, she said.
"They said, 'Nope, they want this exact cake. It's perfect.' And we said, great," MacIsaac said. Neither she nor her spokeswoman revealed who placed the order. The "Salute to Our Troops" ball was one of three official presidential inaugural balls held Friday and open by invitation only to members of the military, veterans, first responders and their families.
MacIsaac did not want to state her political affiliation, but said her bakery began planning how it would donate its proceeds from the Trump inaugural cake to charity. The baker and her staff chose the Human Rights Campaign, a nonprofit group that advocates for equal treatment of the LGBT community — and that has declared Trump "unfit for the presidency."
"I'm a small-business owner and one of the things I'm very, very proud about is that I don't discriminate," MacIsaac said. "I would never turn someone away based on their age, their sex, their sexual orientation, their political views. It's just not the way we operate."
MacIsaac said the attention caught her by surprise partly because, per the order, the Trump cake was intended to be more of a prop: All but a three-inch slice at the bottom was inedible.
"It's just a Stryofoam cake. It's not for eating," she said. "I wasn't expecting it to be seen on TV."
As is customary with many of her creations, MacIsaac posted a photo of the re-created cake on Instagram the day after the event. By then, Goldman's tweet — and controversy over the cake — had found its way to her.
"Obviously, my intention was definitely not to upset him in any way," MacIsaac said of Goldman, whom she does not know personally. "I just wish that it had not been presented the way that it was."
Goldman, who founded Charm City Cakes in Baltimore and Los Angeles, is known for his showstopping cake creations. From 2006 to 2011, the Food Network reality show "Ace of Cakes" followed Goldman as he ran his bakery and pulled out all the stops to construct elaborate cakes. These days, the celebrity pastry chef is better known to pint-size bakers as "Chef Duff" as one of the judges on the network's "Kids Baking Championship."
Later Saturday, Goldman posted to Twitter again, with an apparent change of heart.
"Remembering a fantastic cake I made is awesome and the chef that re-created it for @POTUS Trump did a fantastic job," he tweeted. "Group hug, y'all."
In 2013, Goldman told The Post's Tim Carman he wanted Obama's inaugural cake to be perfect.
"When you're doing a cake like this, you know that everybody is going to be looking at it," Goldman said. "It's a lot of pressure. The more recognition you get for something that you do, the greater the pressure becomes, because more people are looking for a mistake. So you really gotta make sure your work is top-notch."
Goldman described his cake for Obama to The Post in great detail then: The 5-foot-tall, 50-pound cake was meant to pay special homage to the nation's armed forces, with seals of the five branches military. The different tiers would each be of different flavors, from red velvet to pumpkin-chocolate chip.
Though he expressed some anxiety about pulling off the cake in 2013, Goldman ultimately delivered on his vision.
"It was our honor to create this cake for last night's Commander-in-Chief Ball — an experience we will never forget," the Charm City Cakes Facebook page noted with a picture of the cake the day after Obama's 2013 inauguration. (For the record, Obama has said he is more of a pie person.)
Allegations of plagiarism are not new in Trump's nascent administration. During his transition, Trump aide Monica Crowley said she would not take a national security communications post after charges she had plagiarized several passages in her 2012 book.
And the president's spouse, Melania Trump, was accused of lifting a portion of her speech at the 2016 Republican National Convention from one Michelle Obama gave at the 2008 Democratic National Convention.
And shortly after Donald Trump gave his inaugural address on Friday, some thought that a small part of his speech sounded quite similar to words uttered by the Batman villain Bane in "The Dark Knight Rises."
It was not even the first time a celebratory cake for Trump had made headlines. On Election Day, a large bust of his head — in cake form — was carted into Trump Tower for his victory party. The jarring image set Twitter afire.

Georgia storms: At least 11 dead in US state
22 January 2017
Severe weather has killed 11 people and injured 23 in the US state of Georgia, emergency officials say.
A state of emergency has been declared in seven counties in south-central Georgia, Governor Nathan Deal said.
More storms and a "tornado outbreak" are expected in northern Florida and southern Georgia, the National Weather Service says.
Four people were killed by tornadoes in Mississippi on Saturday.
The Georgia Emergency Management Agency said the 11 victims were in the southern Cook, Brooks and Berrien counties.
Seven of those killed were at a mobile home park in Cook County apparently struck by a tornado overnight.
Cook County coroner Tim Purvis said numerous mobile homes had been "levelled" before dawn on Sunday in the park near the city of Adel. He said emergency teams were still searching for survivors.
Mr Purvis estimated that the park has about 40 mobile homes in total, and roughly half were destroyed.
"These storms have devastated communities and homes in South Central Georgia, and the state is making all resources available to the impacted areas," Governor Deal said in a statement.
In Brooks County, coroner Michael Miller said two people died when an apparent tornado tossed a mobile home around 100 yards into the middle of Highway 122.
Swathes of the south-eastern United States have been hit by storms over the weekend

Someone was shot in the middle of the Univ. of Washington campus during a rally. All still very unclear at this point.
I like to see people taking to the streets and everything, but there's something about these inauguration protests I don't quite get. Is it just a protest against Trump as a human being and the behavior he engaged during the campaign? Against "Trump" as a stand-in concept for a host of negative things? I'm sympathetic, but it just seems odd to be protesting the proper swearing-in of the lawfully elected president.

I guess my hope is that these will foster more energy for protest and organization for an anti-Trump politics, and not end up being just a way of expressing an anti-Trump identity as an end in itself.
Yes, it's a legitimate concern. At least, from my position in Ivory Tower Central, it seems people are committed, or energized, into actual political organizing.

I used to think that, but it appears that he is as happy with numbers he makes up as he is with numbers others give him.
In that case I see an easy way out for Mexico. Trump builds a garden fence on the border, claims it's three meters high. Mexico pays 100usd and trumps claims it's one billion dollars and that false mainstream media are lying. Trump's ego is safed
Turns out that limo that got torched last Friday in DC by the protesters (who were never rioting) was owned by a Muslim immigrant.
Big deal, Trump started a flame war over the dead son of Muslim immigrants during the election. So it's a push.
So the non-rioting protesters get a mulligan on this one?
For all they knew, Scott Baio could've been in that limo.

After years of Tea Party protests, Republicans have again decided that dissent is unpatriotic. They have also taken the paradoxical position that the liberals are cry-babies for complaining about the election outcome while at the same time claiming they only lost the popular vote due to massive invisible voter fraud and claim a "rigged" system.

I completely disagree with this. Trump hates the idea that people don't like him. It's why he has to believe that he won the popular vote, why he couldn't bring himself to fire Lewandowski, etc. He cannot stand the idea that people don't like him, so he creates a reality where they do. He doesn't actually care about these people so much as he cares that these people adore him.

I think Meri nails it.
Trump likely doesn't even care about whether people do as he says, as long as they loudly proclaim that he is right and they will do as he says.
Then they can go off and do pretty much whatever the fuck they want, as long as they make sure to return and give him the credit and tell him how awesome he is on some regular basis.
Forgot to mention, last Friday some dude we had never seen before wandered into the brewery that had the inauguration party. While we were discussing the election he proudly proclaimed that he always voted in both primaries. Room went silent and I told him, "You might want to lay low for a while-- because you're probably guilty of voter fraud."

Of course. This is all part of his narcissism. Hell, I was married to a guy just like this. Reality is only as important as it shows them to be superior in every way. Of course, Trump has taken this to new heights; Gold Level, you could say.

I disagree. I think that Trump revels in the idea that people he doesn't like don't like him; he sees his enemies as a vindication for his way of thinking. It's okay to have people who don't like him because it proves that there are bad people in the world.

Okay. I'll agree with that. I think it's a combination thereof. The Press and The Intelligence Community are the Bad People(tm) whom he revels in their distaste. But it's incredibly important to him to believe that The People adore him. He
has to believe that the masses think he's great.

Correct. the elites hate him and the masses love him, in TrumpLalaLand. Any member of the masses that doesn't like Trump is No true Member of the Masses.
But Trump thinks the elites* are far less intelligent than he, so that he can use them. He'll tell the elites to their face that he loves them, and only troublemakers say otherwise, but to the masses he'll reveal his contempt for those same elites.
* other than those genius enough to recognize his genius and devote themselves to him
trump revels in the hatred of people who dislike him, or who he sees as having slighted him. that doesn't bar him from wanting the average person to like him. those on his side, he could want them to like him. it's an interesting point I hadn't considered. I'm not sure I'm willing to say trump literally cannot care about someone -- some of his children, for example, but like I said it's definitely a better argument than the previous one
I don't think I know him personally well enough to go so far as to say something like I think he is incapable of caring about other people who are close to him.
However....this is a man who decided that the most appropriate thing he could comment on about his new infant daughter was whether she would get her moms awesome boobs. Later he mentions, publicly, that he would like to bang her "if she wasn't his daughter".
So I am not at all reticent in noting that there is something deeply broken about the man and how he relates to other human beings he would normally have an emotional bond with under normal expectations. Very, very broken.
agree something is "broken" (broken implies it's malfunctioning -- perhaps he is simply a precursor to the next stage of human evolution)
Sure. That might be it.
Donald seems like a giant manbaby who constantly needs reassurance that he's a great at everything and that people love him. The Saturday Women's March protest made him sad and angry because those people don't like him. And he made his staffers clap for him during the CIA speech :lol:
Donald needs his safe spaces because he's constantly triggered by criticism. He's the ultimate stereotype of a millennial. Such irony :hmm:

While we are not psychologists and thus not able to diagnose anything, we can infer stuff. That Trump has
at least a Narcissistic Personality Disorder would not be too off the mark - because he lays it all evidently in front of our eyes. This man rides on ego-protection.
I mean, who in the right mind, would enter in what amounts to a dick-size contest with Obama on his own inauguration day, on national and international media, and flat out invent facts to win without caring on how much humiliation it'll garner him? He simply cannot accept to be second-best, even on something so trivial, and is ready to bend the rules and social norms to accomplish even this. Hence, this person is diagnosable.

Trump hangs portrait of inauguration crowd in WH press hall

So easily goaded. No wonder the FSB went all in on the asset.
Did you guys read the article? The picture that he's posting in the news room is actually of the Women's March, not his inauguration. :lol:

Ah, okay. Typo on the part of the photographer. The way the image was taken, the crowd would look that full, too.

Yeah, I thought real 'trick' was just that they cheated the angle.
Apparently the 11 year old kid that set the fire in the street and said "screw our president" the night before the inauguration was Drew Carey's son. Not sure why, but that makes the whole thing more hilarious to me.
Wait, drew Carey procreated?

According to wiki, no - it's his stepson.
Ah, the world is right again. Well, except for the whole Trump being president. That's still a bummer.

Skinny Carey disturbs me for some reason. His head looks disproportional or something.
