I read a story about Trump's childhood.

"In elementary school, Donny impressed classmates with his athleticism, shenanigans and refusal to acknowledge mistakes, even one so trivial as misidentifying a popular professional wrestler. No matter his pals’ ridicule, one recalled, he doubled down, insisting wrestler Antonino Rocca’s name was “Rocky Antonino.”

At the military academy where he attended high school, Donny grew taller, more muscular and tougher. Struck with a broomstick during a fight, he tried to push a fellow cadet out a second-floor window, only to be thwarted when two other students intervened."

He was never not the narcissist he is. If a time traveler came to kill anyone, he would have always have assumed it was for him. Narcissists are always the center of their own universe.

His natural camaraderie with Putin now makes sense. Both big fans of defenestration.

[-] Everythingispenguins@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

So he has always been on his toes, expecting assassination. There for all attempts by time travelers have failed. This has caused his time line to become locked as any more attempts could cause a complete breakdown of time itself.

His unique stance is actually the optimal position to be in to defend against a sudden future martial arts attacks. He had to instantly teach it to himself during the first attempt, since no one has even seen these types of attacks yet, but he did it, and survived. They say no one else could have done it but him.

[-] kromem@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Yeah, my first thought at seeing the headline was "no narcissist would ever assume time traveler assassins were out to get anyone but them."

[-] IWantToFuckSpez@kbin.social 55 points 3 months ago

He was always a scumbag. He screwed over so many people during his lifetime. It’s a wonder this piece of shit is still alive.

[-] lennybird@lemmy.world 14 points 3 months ago

I for one appreciate the fact that he is an electromagnet physically reconfigured to draw in the stupid and psychopathic. It really is convenient they even have a dunce cap that is associated with these vices.

[-] bstix@feddit.dk 9 points 3 months ago

Here is a positive spin, maybe unpopular opinion, and maybe devil's advocate: It goes to show that the world is overall better than him.

He is utilizing that people take the high road on his shenanigans. While that is a bad karma move for him alone to do this continuously, it shows that the majority of people actually interacting with him take the high road. They are able to see through his shit and determine that they're better off themselves by leaving him to his own even if it comes at a cost. He's basically the worlds richest poor man. You didn't want to involve yourself with a homeless drug addict anymore than you want to be involved with Trump. Keep it at a sticks length. People will rather not chase a sunken cost. It's easier and better to let go.

Trump is close to his death by age. I can wait it out, and I am thankful for him showing his strategy so blatantly that nobody else will ever be able to do the same again. Trump is a prime example, but not an example to follow. I don't appreciate him living and I will gladly read his obituary, but I also do think that wanting him dead is ... wrong.

Not because it makes much difference to him, but because it makes a difference to me. I'll rather accept the existence of bad people than to be one myself.

Trump is close to his death by age.

Fred Trump (his father) died at 93. Donald is 77.

Fuck.

[-] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 4 points 3 months ago

Fred Jr only made it to 42, but he was an alcoholic

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

And Donald sadly doesn't drink alcohol.

[-] Dontfearthereaper123@lemm.ee 2 points 3 months ago

Dk if thats sadly tbh I mean sure he'd be gone quicker but it'd be a worse time while hes here

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Would it? Nixon was fucking blasted his entire presidency and its effects were largely sloppiness. As I see it trump’s dementia is probably closer to Nixon’s alcoholism than Reagan’s dementia.

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

The problem is if you don’t see karma as individual and cosmic then it’s just the fact that the more you piss in the pool the more urine you’re in. By behaving poorly he encourages others to do so and makes the world worse not just for himself and his followers but for everyone.

I respect your position and you’re who I’d rather have around but I also can acknowledge the damage of an evil jackass teaching others to hurt people for personal gain and to avoid acknowledging their own deficiencies.

[-] orbitz@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 months ago

Agreed about personal karma, though I got it more from a Buddhist standpoint if I understood it. Basically cause and effect,you keep doing things that make trouble or harm by not being mindful of the actions you take them it causes you more suffering, one way or another. Trump wallows in his self constructed world view and is most likely a miserable person, if he thought of others (hah for someone as narcassicitic as himself) he'd probably have a much more fulfilling life. Too bad he's pretty much a broken person in that regard.

[-] JoMomma@lemm.ee 49 points 3 months ago

The most unrealistic thing here is that Drumf would be able to best a future assassin

[-] Bdtrngl@lemmy.world 40 points 3 months ago

1980s Donald Trump was surprisingly agile when absolutely blasted on cocaine.

[-] ikidd@lemmy.world 31 points 3 months ago

He could grab 6 hookers by the pussy in 10.4 seconds

[-] jtk@lemmy.sdf.org 17 points 3 months ago

Then leave without paying in 0.045 seconds.

[-] GladiusB@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

I laughed way too hard at this

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago

It's one of those "time itself won't allow it" sort of deals.

[-] dylanmorgan@slrpnk.net 8 points 3 months ago

Have to disagree. The most unrealistic aspect of this is that he would ever question being known to history.

[-] Muscar@discuss.online 3 points 3 months ago

The most unrealistic thing here is that Drumf would be able to best anyone

[-] theodewere@kbin.social 14 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

nah, he's been looking over his shoulder his entire life

[-] menemen@lemmy.world 14 points 3 months ago

A realtor wondering why people hate him?

[-] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Admit he didn't know something? Never!

[-] Hobbes_Dent@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Because you wore your dumb hat to Stephen’s party.

[-] Drinvictus@discuss.tchncs.de -1 points 3 months ago

Killing him would not change anything. If Trump was dead we would have had a different Trump (DeSantis for example).

[-] AlternatePersonMan@lemmy.world 31 points 3 months ago

I'm not so sure someone would have replaced him. If Trump hadn't landed that TV show, I think his empire would have collapsed. Trump very narrowly beat Hillary. There's a good chance she would have won against anyone else. The Supreme Court would be left leaning. 4 years of the Trump nightmare would have gone at least slightly the opposite direction. The world would look a lot different today.

A few decades of Fox and the conservative agenda definitely have had their consequences, but the way everything landed seems like an unlikely distracted scenario.

So, what I'm saying is...I hate The Apprentice.

[-] scifun@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

If not for Trump it’s more probable that Hillary would have lost with a bigger margin.

[-] HoustonHenry@lemmy.world -2 points 3 months ago

Nah, then we'd have DeSantis

[-] Dkarma@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

You think they're the same??? Lol

[-] AlternatePersonMan@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

I think Trump is much more connected with Russia. Is much more brazen, because he's so incredibly stupid. Those two things have pushed us to where we are very quickly. Desantis is an evil piece of shit too, but he would have tested the waters a bit before each shitty act.

Also, I don't think he would have beat Hillary. I think Trump a big part of why he won, was because of the novelty. It was a joke at the time. It grew into something awful, but I doubt it was the plan at the time.

[-] HoustonHenry@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

In so many words, I said that we wouldn't have another Trump if Trump died, that we'd have to deal with DeSantis, inferring that they're separate people (additionally that DeSantis would be easier to deal with)...sounds like I should've spelled it out so it's easier to understand

Edit- the short, sarcastic version is down voted while the explained version is upvoted 🤷‍♂️
