His handlers have been feeding him lies

His ego is writing checks that his brain can't cash.

100%. Look at what happens when he sits at a table with all his henchmen. The meeting always starts with going around the table kissing his ass. What are the chances they're NOT also saying "MR.PRESIDENT YOU'RE SO GREAT, LOOK; EVERYONE LOVES YOU!"?

I've been saying it for ten years—the man is actually delusional.

Trump is a malignant narcissist suffering from dementia. Everything he says is most likely in no way related to reality, so please stop reporting and posting crap about what Trump is saying.

Since he's already figuratively living on another planet, maybe we should literally send him to one. Venus would be my personal favorite.

He didn't "insist his approval rating is really at 60%". Quote from the article says:

I don’t believe I could be beaten by anybody. I think that if I needed it, which I don’t, I think 60.

Which, as usual, makes absolutely no fucking sense. Because the one thing you do need to win an election is approval. Or maybe it's a reference to his earlier promises to "cheat like hell"? As in, he doesn't need approval because he's going to cheat? Who fuckin knows what goes this this guy's head? But then he provides no source for the 60 number, because he clearly made up on the spot.

Why stop at 60 if you're just going to make shit up. Say 100% .... Or 11000394847292%.

Well shit. If someone like the president of the united states of america said it then it must be true!!! /s

Too quick of a death. Mars is a good choice. Send him with all the billionaires with space toys. Make it a reality TV show.

President Trump has a different way of calculating ...[percentages]

from rfk, jr about maga math

Because he is a narcissist, so he is not just trying to convince you, he has to pick a number that he can convince his ego of.

Oh, but they never will, the news media hasn’t stopped talking about Trump since before 2016. It’s been a decade of Trump. Stay prepared for more. They won’t stop now, not while he’s still got a pulse.

If you're going to make up a number that no one will believe anyway, why stop at 60%?

No, please post, this is too funny. It needs to be remembered by history so we don't repeat it

Not if you rig it.

It must be kinda nice to be so narcissistic that you're genuinely delusional.

Yes I did mention that...

Indeed you did.

The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears.

Just make sure you don't send any lowly servants or woke scientists. They don't deserve to go.

I would also like to point out that you both noticed that he mentioned it.

He's been doing that since long before he ran for president. He literally pretended to be his own PR guy for a while. He literally called him self John (his middle name) Barron (his kid's name). It's typical of people with his mental disorder not to have imagination because they have no curiosity to think about anything but themselves.

And I say my poverty is fake and I actually have 60 billion in the bank.

He’s not wrong, polls are fake. People will still vote for him if he ran even if they say they disapprove of him

"No I'm not hated by almost everyone, I'm only hated by almost half of everyone " doesn't feel like quite the flex he thinks it is

Tick tock 9 days.

What's your plan if the midterms don't stop MAGA?

I'd like to gently push back on some of that. Most of his abhorrent behaviour can be explained by narcissism and the fact that he's 80 years old. You wouldn't expect someone that old with poor sleeping schedule while eating exclusively fast food to be cognitively sharp. Also on the label malignant: this has a specific meaning as a qualifier for narcissistic personality disorder. In short:

• narcissism: clearly met. Being admired for his imagined business acumen is his highest goal.
• anti-social: met but can be explained in function of narcissism itself.
• paranoia: I'm not seeing it.
• sadism: I see suffering in the wake of his destructive path but it seems more a consequence than a goal per se.

There are some commentors who claim that his lack of inhibition and poor impulse-control and capriciousness and short attention span is better explained by ADHD.
Things are what they are, that he is a malignant political force and basically a stinking sack of shit is clear but it is not useful to attribute additional labels to him that can be explained with what we know already as it would muddy the waters and give your statement less weight.

What do you think would be different? Seriously.

They won't pass minimum wage increase, they won't impose term limits, they won't make an age cap, they won't pass universal healthcare, and so on.

They won't release the Epstein files. You know, like every other time for 20 years

(I'm voting, and you should too. But great expectations are at this point ridiculous)

Well you see, history always repeats itself if you wait long enough. I can almost guarantee that there will eventually be another Trump and that people will once again vote for him.

In his first run Trump got more coverage in the press than every other candidate combined.

With the American mythos that exactly half of everyone subscribes to one of the two shades of the uniparty, it's not too bad.

It reads like his entire shade plus 20% of the other party's base.

'Natalie told me!'

Maine being able to set your own approval rating... And going only 60%.

What a moron.
