I wonder what it’s like to have an honest conversation with the dude behind the Trump persona, when he’s let his guard down and he’s sitting right next to the person he trusts most. I’m not sure what I’d expect. Maybe it’s an act, maybe he’s earnest. Does he know what he’s doing? He acts for the cameras pretty damn well.
I don’t think there is anything else left
He likely has narcissistic personality disorder and so this is less an act and more a mask, a shield. The person he’s protecting the most is himself, he needs to be this facade.
I found this video really quite fascinating about what it’s like caring for a dying narcissist. Whatever family that remains hold out hope that as death itself nears the narcissist might finally let down their guard and show their true self. Apparently the opposite happens.
My personal experience is that, the person they are is the one on display when they are angry, and often in other situations too. There is no hidden (nice) personality, just a very shallow egocentric scared one. IMO.

I think that person is long gone tbh. Maybe you could have that type of conversation with him in the 80’s and 90’s but not today. Money and power consume his thoughts so any topic you bring up he’ll revert to money and power.
There is no person which he trusts. So this is what everybody gets.
Have you watched The Apprentice – The Trump Story movie? It’s not a documentary of course, but depicts his transformation from an unsecure young man into that unnatural Trump persona
I haven’t. Interesting suggestion, thanks.
Ever have a family member with dementia? I bet the real Trumpsona is long dead and the only thing he can manage yelling louder than whatever idiot who stole his spotlight that day. Sad if he wasn’t a monster before losing his marbles.
He does not act.
The guy is a psychopath without any empathy. I don’t think there’s much difference between media persona and reality here. Someone who acts so immorally can only be a bad person. There can be no excuses for this.
I mean, is anyone interested in who Hitler actually was? Does it matter at all? Maybe for pathological psychology, but little else really.
In any case, anything but a pleasant conversation partner, I would say. Especially because his hatred and his excessive stupidity are definitely not an act.
I think you give him too much credit.
Where is Barnacle Boy?
Fuck he does look like Mermaid Man
He looks like one of his supporters
Looks like Humpty Dumpty
He does want to build a wall, perhaps he is trying to fulfill his destiny
Nice pants, why you wear them up to your tits?
tbh tits are less saggy than I expected
so yeah why are the pants so close to them
What the actual fuck, dude is beyond unhealthy
Yet people 20+ years younger than him are dying of cancer.
Grant fucking Imahara from Mythbusters died from an undiagnosed and shock aneurysm at 49. Someone who was an actual genius and had a lot to still give to the world
What
The
Fuck
Only the good die young.
He looks like a really old lady.
Who is that fat bastard?
He. Ate. A baby!
He is a fucking cunt and not in a good way
Wait. Is that actually Trump? Not a look-a-like?
He’s had it up to his tits with these communist democrats.
Is this what the kids these days call “rizz?”
that’s antirizz
I just instantly think of The Penguin.
He’s going to do great on his physical, clearly.
He’s had it up to here!
Fugly fuck
