Donald Trump Is All Alone

Presidents have long relied on attentive aides to help them cope with the stresses of office. Not Trump.

well, he did it to himself, all presidents need good advice which donnie rejects and surrounds himself with yes men.

anyone who doesn't tell him what he want to hear is long gone.

In the end an authoritarian must come to this. In needing control to this degree they must fear everyone as they must be just like them. To hold a ring of power is to be alone but few are as corrupted as Trump.

Further evidence he's a coward deep down.

How conservative can look up to him as a tough guy is mystifying. He's a rat through and through.

If I had to rate my hatred for certain rules here, on a scale of 1-10:
No insult rule: 10
Must have text accompanying a picture: 100

Dig for gold, dig for fame
You dig to make your name
Are you pacified?
All the wants you waste
All the things you've chased
Then it all crashes down
And you break your crown
And you point your finger
But there's no one around
Just want one thing
Just to play the king
But the castle's crumbled
And you're left with just a name
Where's your crown King Nothing?

This is their idea of strength. This is the bully's idea of bravery. They believe being able to kick someone when they are down makes them powerful. They believe holding a gun makes them brave.
They have no idea what real moral character is because if they did they would be ashamed of themselves.

You mean the dude that could never bring his "company" public because it would be shut down instantly due to criminal and general incompetence at the top is somehow incapable of hiring and listening to effective advisers whose job it is to give good advice that might not be what the retard leader wants to hear, lest it hurt his feels?

What has been long exposed, is that if there was ever a shred of competence at the top of the chain within Trump empire, then the King would have long been ousted and the "empire" cut to pieces and sold off by the IRS to recoup the ~$1 billion in fraudulent funds that this family has stolen from the USA.

Side note which isn't getting much attention: Trump is a pretty good example of what happens in late-stage capitalism to those in power. It's not a good look.

Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

Sincerely hope he dies slowly and horribly.

King Donnie has always been alone. He surrounds himself with sycophants....keeps them around as long as they do/say what he wants...then casts them aside like the trash they are.

That's the real Trump Wall.

I keep thinking of the Rootboy Slim and the Sex Change bands "Loneliest Room In the World".

Because they are cowards deep down too. That's why they can never have enough guns to feel secure. That's why they have to drive in the biggest truck they can buy to feel safe and adequate. That's why they vote for authoritarian daddy types who make them feel protected. That's why they've been cucked out of their middle class prosperity, choosing to cling in fear for crumbs from their corporate daddies' tables.

Just to play the king
But the castle's crumbled
And you're left with just a name
Where's your crown King Nothing?

Only one way to serve this one up.

It's hard to find yes men when the yes men realize that what you want them to say yes to is not in your best interest. That isn't a problem in a dictatorship, strangely.
