Of course they do, they're not as dumb as she is. She actually believed his bullshit while all the other Republicans are just greedy and/or cowards. The only reason 90% of them even follow along and spew his bullshit is because they have something they want or have something they don't wanna lose. You can almost see the distain in their faces when he speaks to the press next to them. Whenever I see someone like Mike Johnson speak the only thing I see is a man that desperately wants to take advantage of everyone he doesn't like but deep down wishes everything would go back to normal. But now he's too scared to do either so he just says "I don't know" whenever anyone asks him a question.

Trump is stupid enough to believe that everyone adores him

He's a fucking toddler

His expression when he received peace prize award from FIFA tells a lot what a toddler he is.

Don't nitpick 🙃

Honestly, Greene might be a savvier politician than she gets credit for.

  • She picks the right coat tails to run on the first time.
  • She is loud and visible in a way that everyone knows her name.
  • She picks the right time to exit Congress to further her future goals of public office and also give the appearance of distancing herself from the now-toxic coattails she ran behind.

I’m sure there are more examples, but those stick out as “there’s a lot of acting here to look a certain way.”

She’s absolutely a likely dark triad personality candidate, so I hate her. But I have to admit she’s a clever politician.

Don't need to be a genius to get elected in Alabama. Just be contrarian. She saw her political career ending because of the local damage to the economy.

Yeah but where it matters, in government, they kiss his shitty ass.

This "Republicans are not to blame for Donald Trump" narrative won't work Marjorie. Get someone to write your book and get a job on Fox.

Exactly

They hate him, but they still toe the line out of self interest

Fuck 'em with a wire brush

Names Margie.... We want names. Both the mocks and who said them

Absolutely not. He'll tear himself to pieces trying to figure out who was disloyal to him.

Zier@fedia.io · 4 pts · 277d

Just tell him that everyone is disloyal and are just using him. That will end what little sanity he has left. Drive him crazy the way he drives the rest of the Planet crazy.

I like how she knows how to get under his skin. Still hard two say who of these two I hate the most.

FistingEnthusiast@lemmynsfw.com · 22 pts · 277d

Him

She's an utter cunt, but Drumpf has done so much more harm than she could ever do, and he really enjoys it

She's stupid, and undoubtedly cruel, but I don't think she has the same vicious streak as him

Hopefully they will be on a plane together that gets blown up soon

Really scraping the barrel for new Marvel characters, aren't they?

Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca · 5 pts · 277d

As opposed to the rest of us who mock him publicly.

xc2215x@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 277d

I can understand why they would.

Bonesince1997@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 277d

Your mocking achieved nothing.
