(but i don't remember he paid for it with his own money)

(7,215 posts)Trump is a murder. He murdered over a million people, now he's deporting people to El Salvador gulags...I hate him.
JB did pay with his own funds to get PPE to our state. It accidently came out. He did it on the hush.

(694 posts)I think you can make an argument that trump is the worst public figure in history.
Seriously. I cannot think of a single positive character trait that he has. Not one. I honestly believe he is unique

(22,205 posts)From Who Could Ever Love You by Mary L. Trump, p. (copied and pasted from my Kindle ebook copy):
Nobody liked Donald when he was growing up, not even his parents. As he got older, those personality traits hardened, the hostile indifference and aggressive disrespect that hed developed as a toddler to help him withstand the neglect he suffered at his parents handsfrom his mother because she was seriously ill and psychologically unstable, and from his father because, as a sociopath, he had no interest in his children outside of Freddy, who, at least initially, was being groomed to take over his empire. Even so, the interest wasnt loveFred Trump was incapable of loving anybody.
Donalds reputation at school also preceded me. By second grade he was already known as a troublemaker who contradicted his teachers and resorted to physical violence when he didnt get his way. He treated students who were smaller and weaker than he was, and his teachers, with the same contempt with which he treated his family. After he finished seventh grade, despite my grandfathers place on the board, the school administrators made it clear that other accommodations had to be made for Freds obnoxious middle son.
Instead of fixing the problem, moving Donald to another school only transferred it elsewhere. At the time my father was mystified by the fact that Fred couldnt control Donald, but I suspect my grandfather didnt want to waste his time trying. He was happy to delegate the responsibility to the staff at New York Military Academy, a boarding school in central New York State that was essentially a rich kids alternative to reform school. Everybody in the family, especially his mother, was relieved when Donald was sent away.
So yeah, Donald was a monster from early on. Instead of doing anything about it, Fred finally sent him away because the school he was attending made it clear he was no longer welcome there (even though Fred was on the board of directors).

(3,158 posts)Absolutely everything. Remember when numerous states had to use Bourne Identity levels of spycraft to evade the Trump regime's confiscation of PPE and medical equipment during Covid?! (They shipped it off to China, which was probably part of some quid pro quo).

in assuming evil and completely fucking deranged are mutually exclusive conditions. It is possible to be evil and not deranged, or deranged and not evil.
Trump is both at the same time, which is worrisome because hes got the Marines on speed dial.

(13,003 posts)Along with many other BLUE states, Massachusetts got NO PPE from Ivanka and Jared, and DeSantis in Florida got THREE times what he needed in PPE........
Mass's Governor finally got a private party to have his planes fly in shipments. Ivanka and Jared were intercepting ALL shipments of PPE at U.S. Customs, taking them and selling them. The Patriot's? owner who owned the planes, ordered them to fly directly from China to Boston International, and not to stop at custom's where the PPE would be confiscated by Trump's incestuous spawn daughter and Jared.
He kept them away from the terminal and customs, surrounded the planes with the ARMED MASS National Guard, Pulled up and unloaded the PPE onto HIS trucks, and had the State Patrol, fully armed,, escort the PPE to where it could be distributed to hospitals.
New York and Mass were hit extremely hard with all the passengers flooding into New York, and Massachusetts from Europe..... Same with California and Seattle because Trump didn't stop air traffic from China....... with no PPE they were devastated, which was the intention of Trump......
No problem............ All four were BLUE STATES..........

Dave Bowman
(6,627 posts)From last October.
200 mental health professionals signed an open letter concluding that Dump was a Malignant Narcissist.
...
"Malignant narcissism is considered a combination of the above personality disorders, in addition to the sadistic urge to inflict pain towards others while gaining pleasure from doing so. For instance, the letter states: According to first-hand accounts, Trump watched the violence he unleashed on January 6 for three hours on TV with glee, watching his favorite parts over and over on rewind.
