Why is Trump so insecure?

Question

He has to assault California to distract from Musk losing it, the request for the Epstein files.. and Musks demand for his impeachment? Grow a spine. You're president. The country could be unstoppable but you've decimated it and made it a laughingstock of the entire world. It does make you wonder... why? Did nanny embarrass him as a small child?

A British writer penned the best description of Donald Trump I’ve ever read:

“Why do some British people not like Donald Trump?”

A few things spring to mind. Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem. For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace – all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed. So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump’s limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief.

Plus, we like a laugh. And while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing – not once, ever. I don’t say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever. And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility – for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman. But with Trump, it’s a fact. He doesn’t even seem to understand what a joke is – his idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty.

Trump is a troll. And like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laughs; he only crows or jeers. And scarily, he doesn’t just talk in crude, witless insults – he actually thinks in them. His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and knee-jerk nastiness.

There is never any under-layer of irony, complexity, nuance or depth. It’s all surface. Some Americans might see this as refreshingly upfront. Well, we don’t. We see it as having no inner world, no soul. And in Britain we traditionally side with David, not Goliath. All our heroes are plucky underdogs: Robin Hood, Dick Whittington, Oliver Twist. Trump is neither plucky, nor an underdog. He is the exact opposite of that. He’s not even a spoiled rich-boy, or a greedy fat-cat. He’s more a fat white slug. A Jabba the Hutt of privilege.

And worse, he is that most unforgivable of all things to the British: a bully. That is, except when he is among bullies; then he suddenly transforms into a snivelling sidekick instead. There are unspoken rules to this stuff – the Queensberry rules of basic decency – and he breaks them all. He punches downwards – which a gentleman should, would, could never do – and every blow he aims is below the belt. He particularly likes to kick the vulnerable or voiceless – and he kicks them when they are down.

So the fact that a significant minority – perhaps a third – of Americans look at what he does, listen to what he says, and then think ‘Yeah, he seems like my kind of guy’ is a matter of some confusion and no little distress to British people, given that:

• Americans are supposed to be nicer than us, and mostly are.

• You don’t need a particularly keen eye for detail to spot a few flaws in the man.

This last point is what especially confuses and dismays British people, and many other people too; his faults seem pretty bloody hard to miss. After all, it’s impossible to read a single tweet, or hear him speak a sentence or two, without staring deep into the abyss. He turns being artless into an art form; he is a Picasso of pettiness; a Shakespeare of shit. His faults are fractal: even his flaws have flaws, and so on ad infinitum. God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid. He makes Nixon look trustworthy and George W look smart. In fact, if Frankenstein decided to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws – he would make a Trump.

And a remorseful Doctor Frankenstein would clutch out big clumpfuls of hair and scream in anguish: ‘My God… what… have… I… created?' If being a twat was a TV show, Trump would be the boxed set.”

Basically, he's stupid, he's got no marketable skills, he's an old man nearing death, he's incompetent, he's uncultured, stupid again and everyone with half a brain knows how worthless he is.

He's been trying to hide behind a front of power and riches during all his life.

Losers like trump are all about appearances. They need to be admired to feel good about themselves. It's the only way that they can. They have not developped any kind of individuality during their formative years. They're worthless as human beings but they'll strive all their life to gather tangible proof that they're "exceptional", despite what everyone can see. No one can call you a loser and a piece of shit when you're a billionaire and/or the president of the USA... in theory.

They'll surround themselves with brown nosers and sycophants. They'll seek important jobs or titles. They'll do anything to get rich and to be king of the hill... but they'll always remain the losers that they fear to be.

Are you sending this from the mental ward? You are not seeing the same country that I am seeing. President Trump will not allow our cities to be burned to the ground like in 2020 and he is providing national guard support to stop the riots in LA and to protect the lives of ICE agents and citizens.
He is not insecure and he has brough America back from the brink. We are no longer laughingstock like we have been for the last 4 years.

Avicenna · Answer

Is that the latest Democratic Party propaganda? I guess you think he should simply ignore the assaults on federal and local law enforcement and the illegal interference with ICE and DHS employees doing their jobs in accordance with the law, as well as the illegal Mexican invaders rioting on US soil. Or the vague threats by Mexico's president if the US does something about her citizens being and working in the US illegally?

No wonder you're anonymous...

Because daddy loved money more than him. He needs his cult to give him the love he never got at home.

SotiCoto · Answer

Because he is a complete failure at everything. He isn't half as insecure as he should be, given how utterly fucking awful and incompetent he is.

Anonymous · Answer

I am not sure, but I agree he is insecure. Nonetheless, I still support about 75-80% of his policies. That is the most important thing, of course. Otherwise you are relying on ad hominem attacks that are not very good when debating. It's like you saying that you are pro-choice, then my response to that is "You are an idiot!" Just not a very substantive response.

Assault? It's against our laws to vandalize and attack the police. It's against the law to loot and burn buildings. I guess you've learned something from this question.
