SMITHFIELD, VAScreaming and wailing through tears as mascara streamed down his cheeks, a makeup-smeared President Donald Trump begged a packed campaign rally Thursday to tell him he was beautiful. America, as your leader, I need you to look me in the eye and let me know theres no one in this country prettier than meno one, said the 45th president, who demanded the events approximately 10,000 attendees call him their special, gorgeous baby and later yelled, I dont believe you! I dont believe you, when the crowd started up a chant of You are beautiful that continued for several minutes.

(5,953 posts)Because Trump actually DOES crazy shit that's far more bizarre than anything the Onion could think up.
President floats idea of buying Greenland from Denmark in tweet, Danish PM calls idea 'absurd.' Pouting President calls PM a 'nasty woman,' and cancels state visit in retaliation.
That's the kind of shit that USED to be an Onion story! Who the hell needs the Onion now?

(12,712 posts)In any way, shape or form. If you really look into his weaknesses, then I think it is safe to say that he does have one glaring Achilles Heel. So, I am dropping this one here as a strategic point to be considered.
As long as he has is adoring base, that is a form of narcissistic supply that seems to satisfy him, (as his smug orange pie whole seems to indicate). In fact, I think the rallies are just as much, (if not more) about that as they are being reelected.
So, who detest him or disagree with what he is doing and say sling all kinds of words at him publicly. It ranges from bat shit crazy loon, to mean, detestable, manipulative, etc. I think that bounces off of him easily because he is delusional enough to only go with what he thinks he is. So do any hateful remarks and cussing.
What might be more effective, if it were applied in large doses from many venues repeatedly and with gusto is something along these lines:
"Mr. Trump, I sincerely do not like you or love you at all. In fact, I never have and never will. Do you realize that there a so many Americans who also don't like you and feel no love or admiration for you at all? You really are, by all standards not a likable person and love has to be felt genuinely to be real and we can't even feign it."
Oh boy, would a campaign like that be nice to see and worth a try: Posts, billboards, articles, etc.
In that case, the vulnerable little boy inside him that he vociferously protects with that cocky, repulsive veneer would really be affected to the point that it might be obvious. That little boy who grew up to be so self-protective would be sniffling, shaking and drowning in his own tears crying for Mommy.
That's just my take on it. Find the vulnerability and test it out by hitting him where it hurts.
