I have smart children...I would always tell them, no drugs

Doesn't seem like Jr got the message.

"can I have a pony???". "No, drugs."

Some real Lionel Hutz "no, money down" vibes there.

Trump would've benefitted from more drugs.

if prescribed by a psychiatrist, certainly - but I hear NPD is untreatable difficult, but treatable.

his street coke aint working.

edit: correction.

maybe some offline time with DMT and no mirrors would be a start.

I am not sure anything can kill that ego. :-/

I hear the French have a device that will take care of things right quick.

Did you ever watch Carnival Row? They had a 5 seater!

Please be mindful of the misinformation here. NPD is nuanced and difficult to treat, as with any personality disorder, but it is absolutely possible.

important point taken. thank you.

I don't think Jr was the only one.

Damn, he looks worn out

I was gonna say, he looks like he aged more this summer and fall than he did his entire presidency. And that's incredible, 4 years in a super stressful job should age you a bit.

What the hell is stressing him out so much that a few months he's gone grey and leathery?

Pending sentences and the weight of inevitably.

What's super stressful about playing golf all the time?

hihellobyeoh@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y

I think they mean in the sun too much, as it can make your skin look "leathery"

Assassination attempts will do that to a man that's afraid of stairs.

EmpathicVagrant@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 1y

Well he did spend 50% of his time as President on the golf course.

Melina doesn't want to fuck him anymore as he is being fucked by someone else.

The Dept of Justice.

When you're entire purpose in life is to make others miserable, I imagine it's difficult to remain content. At this point, I think other people are controlling him more than he's converting himself, too.

This guy is an angry meat puppet. Couldn't happen to a worse person.

Fentanyl-related offenses should receive the death penalty, but it's completely fine to just sell opioids to millions of people for decades and possibly cause a societal meltdown in the process because that's just being a smart businessman or something.

Raped? Quite possibly. But raise? Not him, he paid others to do that for him. Trump wouldn't soil HIS hands by actually raising his children.

Abolish capital punishment. We're better than that.

Can I continue to advocate for the vigilante killing of Musk and ilk? Because I am not better than that, its what my ancestors wouldve wanted actually my ancestors wouldve put him in a ditch for being stupid and English but thats besides the point.

tacosplease@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 1y (1 reply)

Musk is from South Africa, but that's also besides the point.

Anglo sputh africans are still English, my family dont discriminate just eviscerate.

I mean, if Eric Trump was my son I'd also try to change the subject.

Well that's what he thinks about them, then.
