    Didn’t South Park already kind of pick up on the fact that Trump gives off the vibe that he doesn’t REALLY want to be President, he just wants the perks of campaigning?

    Mr. Garrison in like a whole 8 months of clips basically plots and plans on how he can get OUT of it, only to keep finding himself in situations where he somehow gets further in the polls.

    This feels exactly like that.

      He just wants his name in lights. It’s a personality disorder.

      He doesn’t want to do anything. He never has had to.

      It’s not talked about how just so seriously mentally ill trump is. The Goldwater rule is probably for the best, but trump is, well, just look into the DSM. Way worse than Goldwater.The wiki captures it as well.

        I went to a lecture of a criminal psychologist recently about psychopathy. Psychopaths are often also narcissists, and there are a number of personality traits to identify them. The more traits one has, the more likely the person is a clinical narcissist. Trump would check all those boxes, every single one.

      Thing is, this time around he’s either in the White House or in federal prison. Stupid as he is, I think he still understands that much.

        Yeah, it’s actually scarier that this time he really wants it. And that when the 4 years is up, he has to stay in power in order to stay out of prison.

        I’m amazed more isn’t made of this.

        Then I think he realized how little he could actually do.

      I’m p. sure everyone picked up on that vibe, don’t even need to watch South Park to have figured it out.
