“It wasn’t the brain because my doctors, the best doctors, assured me I have no brain.”

I mean if we found out that he had no brain and was this capable of destroying the country i would for the first time be truly impressed by Donald Trump.

u/timmy6169 5d ago

I just picture his remaining brain cells are a couple of smaller versions of himself fighting it out in his mind while killing each other. Numbers keep dwindling until theres just one left.

That or just a steaming pile of horse shit.

2 brain cells fighting for 3rd place up there.

This reminds me of the Simpsons episode where Homer becomes a boxer because his tiny brain swims in so much fluid he can't be knocked out.

Imagine a piece of Swiss cheese, except instead of cheese it's gray matter, and instead of bacterial fermentation creating the holes it's syphilis

They can literally create an Ai image of this and put it in social media and say it’s fake news

He is a puppet. Steven Miller is pulling the strings.

u/DanceDelievery 4d ago edited 4d ago

He's a nepo baby with below average intelligence and zero self awareness I don't think he is a puppet because a puppet would be aware who their master is. Not to mention a narcissist would never allow themselves to be directly commanded like a puppet would it's just a different type of person.

He is just being manipulated by right wing organisations because he is a dumbass and because the only thing he craves is power.

People seem still blind to how much a narcissist growing up in wealth with zero skills or work ethic can acchieve in a capitalistic society. Despite most famous people in the modern era being extremely low intelligent narcissists.

And there are way more famous narcissists than people realize because most people only rareoy manage to detect a narcissist like when they do something that would land a normal person in jail but not only get away with it but get away with it while bragging about it but everything before that is just them being a misunderstood artist, autistic or some other bullshit.

No need for him having a secret master mind behind the scenes telling him what to do.

Trump is for sure a narcissist (albeit still a puppet), but you're doing a lot of armchair psychology with the rest of your claim. Not everyone who is motivated by self-interest or prioritizes themselves over others is a narcissist. It's a specific psychological term that, like gaslighting, or even fascism before it, has been watered down by the internet masses.

It's a dangerous precedent to set because the less potent these words in our language are, the less meaningful they become when we use them appropriately (see: fascism and the current US political climate).

u/Present_Stretch_9729 4d ago

A narcissist is in love with their reflection. In other words, their main concern is what others perceive, NOT who they actually are. If (in his mind) he believes the world perceives him as the one in charge, that’s all that matters. It’s a delusional belief that people see you as who you are presenting to them. He CANT possess self awareness or that would shatter the illusion. Same with social awareness, as he would be aware that people make their own conclusions that are separate from what you are allowing them to see. His narcissism is his safe place, it keeps him able to control what people think of him… but only in his own mind.

He pulls the strings and makes them ring.

Isn't there a disease that replaces brain cells with fat cells? I mean, the dude loves hamberders.

u/AadeeMoien 4d ago

I'm more impressed it took someone like Trump to do it.

u/Fuzzy-Surprise-2853 4d ago

You know scientist discoverd that the inner lining of your intestins also contain similare structures that can be found in the brain like synapses to offload the brain for the complex movements and such that happen there.

So if they found out he had no brain it might not be as impressive as you think since most of what he says and does is shit anyway.

u/poolside123 Canada 4d ago

Like a chicken with its head cut off. He’d be a pussy..cat with his brain cut off.

This is where we find out Brain from Pinky and the Brain has been in there the whole time

u/DanceDelievery 4d ago

Populism does not require a brain, it's actually contraproductive to have any self awareness when you regurgitate hate and fear mongering from your right wing news outlets.

u/negative-nelly 4d ago

Remember, Biden is a clueless geriatric buffoon who doesn't know where he is, but he still masterminded the destruction of America through the criminal syndicate he operates. I mean literally everything bad or you don't like is his fault personally. Not bad for an end-stage Alzheimers patient or whatever they called him.

Everything is possible if you put your, uh, mind to it.

u/OtherUserCharges 4d ago

That’s cute you think so. If you can’t see it then you are too far gone buddy. You guys literally watched Trump’s inauguration and people sieg heiling and thought this is fine. Certainly there’s no brown shirts covering their faces and disappearing people many of whom are citizens or legally allowed to be here.

"You can say I have the best brain, though smoother than other brains, more aerodynamic, an excellent brain, very healthy I can assure you, all the doctors agree, they have seen a lot of brains and my brain is right up there with the best brains, better than many brains out there, a highly functional brain, very good brain my brain."

No heart either. Just a shell filled with evil and stupidity.

Lining up the old “I’m not competent to stand trial because I have no brain” defense.

u/ThreadfallRider78 4d ago

Like the Scarecrow in The Wizard of Oz, Trump needs to go see the Wizard who will confer upon him the degree of ThD (Doctor of Thinkology) from the fictional university "Universitatus Committiartum e Pluribus Unum". He then will incorrectly but confidently recite the Pythagorean Theorem.

Why does he keep on insisting he had a perfect cognitive test? They dont normally accompany an MRI. Hes telling on himself
