Is Trump Trying to Lose?

I guess whether he's an 'asshole' depends on which side of him you're on (true for all of us). But the man is the DSM-5 textbook definition of "narcissistic personality disorder." But then, I think all politicians are to a degree. It doesn't mean I 'like' him any less or won't vote for him, either.

Was Obama a narcissist? What about Clinton?

Yeah.... I said (in the quote you attached) I think most politicians are. If you want to see the diagnostic criteria, if you Google "narcissistic personality disorder in the DSM-5", you can see the criteria. It's just who he is. It's how he was raised.

I think Biden thinks it's a win, and democrats will undoubtedly think it's a win, but I don't know a single person who was going to vote for Trump and then not based on not doing a second debate. I just don't think debates matter any more.

Yes, Trump should say those things, but since he's a sociopath, he's incapable of saying most of those things.

One of the main ways to tell a psychopath is if they can steal and commit corruption without conscious. This is definitively one of Joe Biden and his creepy son's obvious traits. Just refer to all of the Biden family corruption, yet he runs for President anyway. That is psychopathology.

It is interesting how many hyper successful people do have some traits of psychopathology. How do you think the billionaires became billionaires, ever watch the movie about how Zuckerberg stole FB?

The truth is that the Dims hand picked Biden because they knew that if a lunatic like Cory Booker, or Warren, or Bernie, or even Kamaltoe were at the top of the ticket, they would get slaughtered. So they dressed up Biden, called him a moderate even though he had to adopt the crazy left policies to get the nomination. Because the truth is that the radical left now runs the party. That's why Biden had to pick Kamaltoe to take over after the election.

If the establishment Republicans had their way, Bush would have been the candidate. Fortunately, voters saw through the RINO BS and picked Trump. From a campaigning/public relations standpoint Trump is a disaster, but his policies are right on the money.

This is one true difference between the GOP and Democrat party, at least currently. The GOPe RINO elite used to control the GOP and the national elections. They're out of power currently, which is why they're supporting Biden. After all, establishment trumps party lines. The Democrat party is still controlled at the top by the DNC establishment. They very obviously still control who their national nominee will be, hence Biden. Harris was selected as his running mate specifically to appease their ever growing radical left base. Without her on the ticket, Biden wouldn't even stand a chance in the general election.

The only real question at this point, is when the DNC establishment loses control of their party and find themselves on the sidelines along with the GOPe RINOs. Now imagine what subversive activities they'll get up to with their outcast RINO buddies when that day comes.

The problem is that he is losing and he hast to do something different to win. Not debating gives Biden the win.

He never said he would not debate Biden. He said a virtual debate is a waste of time.

It's the election commission who is insisting on the virtual debate. So they are at deadlock.

I believe they want a virtual debate so they can mute him at will.

There was some good discussion today on outnumbered on Fox where just about everyone agreed that the current debate formats are useless and they need to open them up and potentially even expand them.

I have no idea what all you people are talking about. Look at the facts, the results of the Trump years. Look at the Obama years. Which do you want? F--- you if you don't "like" Trump. This election is Trump vs. Socialism to say the very, very nicest words possible about the other side. In reality, it would be dark tyranny, you, your children, your grandchildren and the horse you rode in on would become their slaves. You would lose all Constitutional rights that G.W. Bush didn't already take away. Kiss your guns good by. A civil war will start in a month no matter who wins this election. Why dig your hole deeper?

I think each President we've had in the modern era has been a narcissist. Carter might be the only exception to that.

I find all the armchair psychologists pronouncements a bit silly.

Set aside personalities, when I look at the aggregate of achievements, positions, and sincere attempts, Trump has done more for me and my interests than any president since Reagan.

And might even be as much as Reagan although he did a lot.

But you have to see through the lies, misquoting, deliberate misinterpretations, etc of the media.

Do your own research. See what antifa really is, I've been on their websites, I've read their goals and methods. Same for the founders of BLM.

I didn't say this first but I agree with it, journalists due to their incredible lack of objectivity have lost the right to moderate debates. A virtual one would be guaranteed to be slanted against Trump.

Even walking away from the stimulus table. The number of poison pills that I am absolutely against in pelosi's package makes it very clear to me that she is deliberately trying to prevent passage. So I don't blame Trump for not wasting time. It's a distraction, he needs to get the judge in.

That people still believe the tired lies of the Communist party is beyond belief. Oh-Zero did absolutely nothing for the poor in 8 years. Toss in the lies of the RINO's as well. Oh-Zero care should be gone, but they couldn't muster the courage to give up the power.

Agreed, but we'll see if the rest of America will use their heads.
