"tRump is the guy who visits you in the hospital and tells you what a bad day he's having"

[stopbush]

Just heard that one on Joy Reid by a panelist saying how tRump makes everything about him.

[treestar]

1. Haha a good way to put it

He figures everyone is interested only in him.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. HE is interested only in him, and other people don't matter to him.

He assumes everyone is interested in him because that's all he's interested in.

3. Big EGO

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

4. That's assuming he visits you in the hospital at all,

which he won't do unless you're somebody important and it would look good for him if he visited you.

6. He'd call instead

feeling the need to vent to someone about his awful luck and his awesomeness in the face of adversity.

5. Pretty accurate description.

I hate him so very much.

[Orsino]

7. Except that he would not visit you in the hospital. n/t

Passing it along

9. "All the doctors are saying ...

... I'm the best visitor you ever had.
None of my predecessors were such good hospital visitors."

10. The Alice Roosevelt Longworth quote about her father, Teddy, seems apropos.

My father always wanted to be the corpse at every funeral, the bride at every wedding, and the baby at every christening.

But thankfully Teddy was not an amoral ignoramus. Man, I wish he were here to take on Trump.

11. Teddy, it turns out, was rather amoral.

The Imperial Cruise, by James Bradley, is a very telling history of Teddy's era.
He was a lot smarter than Trump, but with the same avarice, lust for power, and skill at manipulating people.

[tanyev]

12. Fair enough.

I have not spent much time studying his era. I was thinking about some of the good accomplishments from his presidency vs Donald's history.

13. I imagine George Bush is thrilled over Drumpf.
