To be fair, I doubt he tries to remember most people because they mean nothing to him. He will simultaneously say he doesn’t know someone, but that they are “good people,” or a “great guy.”
Maybe you have a memory as bad as Trump’s, because if I spent two hours with someone one-on-one and then saw them just a few months later, I’d remember them.
A good executive has a staff that reminds him of these things. Even if it was a brief meeting, Trump should have been aware that he’d had a sit down with them before.
Either Trump was reminded and forgot, or he’s too incompetent to set up a basic system like this.
“It’s possible I have a picture with them because I have a picture with everybody. I don’t know them. I don’t know about them. I don’t know what they do.”
ROFL! Know who you’re arguing with before you go editing the worst others… mmmmkay?
No, I can definitely stand to see someone call a rapist a rapist. I’m just not going to argue irrelevant details over what I meant by “man” just because you decided to focus on the wrong part of my point.
In my eyes, he’s no man. He’s barely a human to be honest. So let’s not make assumptions of people we don’t know, savvy?
If you don’t like Trump, why do you keep defending him by calling him a child and a narcissist? Why do you keep putting the role of victim on him when he’s a rapist and a Nazi? Trump is not a child, he’s responsible for his actions. And he’s not a narcissist, his actions are not the result of queerness or disability. He is a neurotypical, heterosexual, adult man. He is a privileged, powerful, bigoted individual. Erasing his privilege and trying to paint him as a vulnerable minority is inexcusable.
I understand that you think you’re dunking on Trump, but that’s not what your actions are. You don’t seem to grasp the fact that accusing a Nazi of being a minority isn’t a dunk.
Well asexuals are widely recognised as queer and hardly anyone who has the faintest political literacy is against them. It’s not like Fox News is going after them like they go after gay and trans people, so when someone is aphobic they’re generally considered absolutely ridiculous by the kinds of people who use Lemmy. And calling Trump asexual would seem to imply that he’s not a rapist and serial sexual assaulter, which he absolutely is. I’m never going to stand for somebody calling Trump asexual.
Yeah, it’s based on the Greek character Narcissus, who was hated for being asexual. One of the incels he rejected prayed to Nemesis to make him fall in love with that which he cannot have, so she made him fall in love with his reflection so he’d starve to death. It’s a story about how Greek culture was aphobic. They didn’t understand asexuality and attributed not wanting to fuck anyone to hubris. So if you call someone a narcissist, you’re saying they have an asexuality motivated by pride. Which is honestly aphobic and disgusting nonsense.
Etymology is cool. Too bad it doesn’t have any effect on what a word meaning is today because when I say you’re being silly, I’m not using the original Middle English meaning, which is ‘blessed.’ I mean you’re being silly.
Telling people that Trump is neurodivergent and his evil is caused by being disabled is also fucked up. It simultaneously garners sympathy for a fascist and villifies disabled people.
You’re the one who brought up NPD. If it’s not a slur against disabled people it’s a slur against asexuals. You’re completely ignoring the influence of Christopher Lasch’s book on pop culture vernacular.
Let me preface this by saying that when I tell you “stop being daft, dude,” I am not suggesting you cease to be a well-mannered city person who doesn’t know how things work around here.
No, I’m just trying to convince people that using slurs is a bad idea because if you do, you’ll be subjected to “banal whinging” about how slurs are bad. Thread top could have avoided all this by not using a slur, and nothing bad would have happened.
It’s not a slur to call Trump anything you fucking want. Stop trying to police language. Punching up is ALWAYS acceptable. YOU brought up asexuality first. You’re the one with a problem.
I couldn’t give a flying fuck if some monster wants to call a worse monster bigoted nonsense. My world is so much bigger than the grumblings of morons.
Well, as a gay and trans autistic person, I don’t think those words are appropriate to use in earnest in any context. Maybe you should try listening to minorities on the subject of slurs.
Trump is a man because he’s a rapist, and statistically most rapists are adult men. Accusing him of being a child denies his ability to wilfully sexually abuse others. Stop covering for his crimes and admit that he’s a piece of shit adult man whose entire identity is founded in reactionary patriarchy.
