The Donald-thread

[DRSB]

“People who are worried about me having the nuclear-launch codes should stop worrying, O.K.?” Trump told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer. “If I ever used nuclear weapons, it would be really obvious that I was just being sarcastic.”

Donald Trump has stepped up his argument that the presidential election will be rigged in favour of Hillary Clinton, claiming that the only way he can lose Pennsylvania is “if cheating goes on”.

Whereas Trump regularly cited opinion polls when he was winning the Republican primaries, his poor showing in recent national surveys has left him sowing doubt about the integrity of the process, even before a vote is cast.

Speaking at a rally in Altoona, Pennsylvania, on Friday evening, the celebrity tycoon said: “We’re gonna watch Pennsylvania. Go down to certain areas and watch and study and make sure other people don’t come in and vote five times. The only way we can lose, in my opinion – and I really mean this, Pennsylvania – is if cheating goes on. I really believe it.”

Trump went on: “I looked over Pennsylvania and I’m studying it. And we have some great people here. Some great leaders here of the Republican Party, and they’re very concerned about that, and that’s the way we can lose the state, and we have to call up law enforcement, and we have to have the sheriffs and the police chiefs and everybody watching.

“Because if we get cheated out of this election, if we get cheated out of a win in Pennsylvania, which is such a vital state, especially when I know what’s happening here, folks. I know. She can’t beat what’s happening here.”

In 2014, a Pennsylvania judge struck down a law requiring people to produce state-approved photo ID in order to vote. The last Republican presidential candidate to win the state was George H W Bush in 1988, but Trump hopes to defeat Clinton because of its significant blue collar population.

The Republican nominee added: “The only way they can beat it in my opinion – and I mean this 100% – if in certain sections of the state they cheat, OK? So I hope you people can sort of not just vote on the 8th, go around and look and watch other polling places and make sure that it’s 100% fine, because without voter identification – which is shocking, shocking that you don’t have it.”

He's losing his shit altogether now. Inciting his obnoxious supporters to intimidate people at the polling booths. What a worthless scum he is.

[Brian Peacock]

Yeah, but he's convinced that he's right and that he's the best man for the job, therefore he must be, because he's always right and he has a dick. Half expecting him to rename NY Trumpton if he gets elected.

A neuroscientist explains what may be wrong with Trump supporters’ brains

There’s no doubt that Donald Trump has said many things that would have been political suicide for any other Republican candidate. And almost every time he made one of these shocking statements, political analysts on both the left and the right predicted that he’d lose supporters because of it. But as we have clearly seen over the past year, they were dead wrong every time. Trump appears to be almost totally bulletproof.

The only thing that might be more perplexing than the psychology of Donald Trump is the psychology of his supporters. In their eyes, The Donald can do no wrong. Even Trump himself seems to be astonished by this phenomenon. “I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn’t lose any voters, OK? It’s, like, incredible.”

Senator John McCain, who has been a regular target for Trump during his campaign, has a simple explanation for his unwavering support. “What he did was he fired up the crazies.”

While the former Republican presidential nominee may be on to something, he doesn’t exactly provide a very satisfying scientific explanation. So how exactly are Trump loyalists psychologically or neurologically different from everyone else? What is going on in their brains that makes them so blindly devoted?

Bad housing, bad education, lousy diets (that can create severe mental problems), bad social circumstances, the lack of proper employment and mass hysteria on mass communications systems.

If you feed people shit all the time you end up with people full of shit.
