Weld hammers Trump over McCain attacks: You're a 'national embarrassment'

Fletch said:
Please. Like you guys give a **** about respecting the dead. :lamo This is phony liberal outrage and nothing more The truth is, Trump said nothing wrong, but apparently someone told you to be upset so you have to pretend that you are. Thats pathetic.

No, what is genuinely pathetic is your attempt at defending the indefensible. Trump is an infantile, whiny, cowardly wretch who repeatedly attacks those least able to defend themselves, the dead included. He's a ****ing senile parasite and a disgrace to America. Your country was respected once; Trump has destroyed any vestige of international support, respect and trust by his stupidity. The healing process will begin as soon as the incompetent moron is gone from the White House and becomes a distant bad memory.

McCain was 5th from the bottom and gave the dossier to the FBI. Plus McConnell had to have some indication McCain would support the bill or he wouldnt have brought it up for a vote. I have no problem with Trump or anyone else criticizing McCain. There was very little about his public career that is worthy of applause.

McCain gave the Dossier to the FBI in December of 2016 - after the election. What should he have done - sit on it? Make plans to meet with the Russians like Trump's campaign did?

If you don't know how McCain voted all the years he was in office, then you aren't on the right. Like Trump. McCain almost always voted with the Republicans. If that isn't worthy of applause to you, then just admit you're on the left.

Obviously you voted for Obama in 2008, too.

Some day you will realize that Trump is a scam artist and that everything he does is for his own benefit.

No he won't. Just like Jim Jones' supporters never realized that about him.

Trump has bamboozled the easily bamboozled, and they will guzzle the purple drink with cyanide when he orders them to.

The only thing Trump cares about is being in the spotlight and preening. What a pathetically infantile individual he is, and unfit to clean McCain's toilet.
 
After repeatedly bashing the late Senator recently, Trump complains that he wasn’t properly thanked for allowing McCain’s funeral. There is no bottom for Trump.

“I gave him the kind of funeral that he wanted,” Trump told reporters at a campaign-style rally in Lima, Ohio. “I didn’t get (a) thank you but that’s OK.”

Never mind the fact that Congress approved the arrangements, not Trump.

You do realize he's even trolling his own fan base now? He thinks they are so damn stupid that he's bashing away on the dead man who voted with the Republican Party for his entire time in office, and who they all voted for in 2008 again Obama. Like Jim Jones, Trump thinks his base is filled with gullible idiots.

Like Jim Jones, he's correct. It is.
 
Trump is an asshole. This is demonstrated each and every day.

Trump really said that? Jesus H; can he sink any lower? Jealousy is an ugly trait.

Yes, he really said that. Inexplicable isn't it?

Can he sink any lower? I've been asking that for the last 30 years, and inevitably, he does sink lower.

Sure he is. He’s been attacking “fellow Republicans” since the campaign. His drones don’t care because he says and does what they want him to do. Before ‘16 I didn’t realize just how many lousy people there are on the far right. They aren’t traditional conservatives at all.

Trump has a big N attached to him as he is:

1) nepotist. - "favoritism shown to relatives, especially in appointment to high office,"

2) nar·cis·sist - "a person who has an excessive interest in or admiration of themselves"

Some narcissists may be able to control these personality traits, but some may not, and that is when they start to become dangerous.

Traits:

Arrogance and Domineering. ...
Grandiosity. ...
Preoccupation with Success and Power. ...
Lack of Empathy. ...
Belief of Being Unique. ...
Sense of Entitlement. ...
Requires Excessive Admiration. ...
Exploitative.

Notice anything about this list that applies to Trump? How about everything?

Can a narcissist be dangerous?

That means anyone with NPD can become abusive over time. And abuse is dangerous. Disordered narcissists (those with NPD) can be calculating about hiding their abusive side, whether they're extroverted, introverted, or communal, because all disordered narcissists are by definition manipulative.

People with narcissistic personality disorder are extremely resistant to changing their behavior, even when it’s causing them problems. Their tendency is to turn the blame on to others. What’s more, they are extremely sensitive and react badly to even the slightest criticisms, disagreements, or perceived slights, which they view as personal attacks. For the people in the narcissist’s life, it’s often easier just to go along with their demands to avoid the coldness and rages

Fortunately there are checks and balances in place preventing tRump from realising his dictatorial predilections. No doubt he hates that.

Holy hell. You just lied. Weld did NOT run for President on the Libertarian ticket. He ran for VICE President, with Gary Johnson.

Switching parties? Are you freaking kidding? Such faux outrage coming from someone who tosses her panties at the feet of a man who switched parties constantly his entire adult life.

Good grief, I left out the word Vice and you throw out the word lie. Then you end your drive by shooting with a personal attack. The one showing faux outrage is you.

Which is exactly why I left the party. I don't know who those people are, but I can assure you, they are neither Republicans nor conservatives.

It isn't faux outrage. It disgusts me to watch hypocrisy and fibs coming from the alt-right, fake right Republicans.

Trump has turned once reasonable and decent and rational Americans into a mass of Jello.

Weld hammers Trump over McCain attacks: You're a 'national embarrassment' | TheHill

Former Massachusetts Gov. Bill Weld (R), who last month announced a committee to explore a GOP primary challenge to President Trump, slammed the president Tuesday as a “national embarrassment” over his recent criticism of the late Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.).

“@realDonaldTrump's continued attacks on John McCain are contemptible and beneath the dignity of our American democracy,” Weld tweeted Tuesday. “While @realDonaldTrump's senseless attacks on allies have become all too common, his defamation of a deceased American hero has reached a new low and raises serious concerns about his mental stability and moral integrity.”
======================================
Trump must have a serious problem if he is still fighting with a dead senator.

McCain's complicity in the Liespeak Dossier and subsequent seditious conspiracy should be derided by ALL AMERICANS who respect the rule of law, and the Constitution.

And you managed to leave Obama off that list? And his wife?
Click to expand...

First of all, that was not my list. It is a list that is found on most sites that talk about Narcissists.

Nonetheless, for the sake of debating the issue, please show me what attributes Obama and his wife can be compared with the list of Narcissistic traits. To my view, none of those attributes were shown by either of them.

I can understand your hate for them as I also feel hate (for Trump), but to assign personality traits to a person that does not have them is going too far and means your hate is not based on reason but on feelings alone. My hate for Trump is based on his total lack of morals, ethics, principles and humanity, all of which are traits assigned to Narcissists. Obama and his wife showed morals, ethics, principles and especially humanity every day of their lives and that statement can be proven over and over again.

Now is your turn to prove your statement and if you can't, then just stop wasting my time.
