    Yeah, I recognised it immediately by his body language and facial expression, tone of voice etc. That creepy coaxing…yuck. It’s actually kinda rare to see in the wild because someone would have to have zero insight to act that way so brazenly.

      And for someone who acts like this to develop a cult of personality and be elected to Supreme Leader?

      The fucking fuck man… This is the stupidest shit that has ever happened on this planet.

        It sometimes feels like we’re going down in a blaze of shit. We were supposed to be better than this by now. Not even just america, it just seems like our advances as a species mean nothing when a significant proportion are acting as badly or even worse than ancient peoples did.

        And the rest of us are using our species’ advances to watch in real time and commentate, make predictions about what stupidities and indignities will be thrust upon us. It reminds me a bit of Wall-E.

      Ah… that makes sense.

      Even with my fascination with character analysis and the rich vein of freakishness Trump provides, I generally can’t watch him - he’s just too creepy and unsettling.

        Same. Especially when he does the exaggerated and arrogant sneering ‘voices’. Kaamaalaaa.

        It’s weirdly like how some people talk down to children.
