At this point there are only 4 possible explanations for Trump's consistent fuck ups

At this point there are only 4 possible explanations for Trump's consistent fuck ups.

Best case scenario but unlikely
>The gaffes are all part of a grand strategy in which Trump plans on rolling out a much more palatable and presidential demeanor closer to the election. However, Trump is simply unable, whether by choice or by genetics, to behave in a manner that is viewed as traditionally presidential. Thus, it was necessary for him to act so ridiculously unpresidential in order to make his best possible face seem as refined and sophisticated as possible in comparison. In order for this scenario to possible, Trump will have to start turning things around immediately. If he reaches any lower in the polls his campaign will probably dissolve.
Bad but likely
>Trump still thinks the strategy he used to win the primaries, creating as much controversy as possible, will be just as successful in the general.
Awful but less likely
>He legitimately has a problem wherein he can't help but attack someone personally when they criticize him even when doing so will severely damage his image and poll numbers
Worst case scenario but unlikely
>Wants to lose the election

There are simply no other explanations. I've been a Trump supporter since October after Jim Webb dropped out and will still vote for Trump over Hillary any day, but goddamn he's making it difficult to defend his actions and to convince undecided people to vote for him.

Trump needs to channel pic related if he wants to win this election.

I think your third option is honestly the most likely and you're ll retarded. I'm not CTR, just a liberal who has been on Sup Forums for about a year and a half

The guy has a raging narcissistic personality disorder combined with ADD. That's not a joke thing, it's a real disorder that impairs his ability act rationally.

He is a falseflag created by shillary

It's been over a year and people are still underestimating Donald Trump. It's amazing that people can be this stubborn in their beliefs.

I think it's just about creating free media coverage by saying "outrageous" stuff. I really doubt he has lost any supporters over any of the things he has said this last week.

When he gets members of the establishment (like McCain) to criticize him, then he is basically building "street cred" with his voters.

It's the only thing that I respect about him.

Hillary wishes she could get Trump's coverage. She probably has at least one advisor who has told her to say some outrageous shit just get a media storm, but refused.

Or he's just a Hillary shill and all you trumpfags took the bait

"fuck ups"

you mean media slander.

What fuckups, CTR?

clinton paid him to lose

>DO NOT RESPOND TO SHILLS
HIDE ALL SHILL THREADS

He's never had enough support to win a general. What he needs to do now is add to his support, which he's clearly not doing.

5. The media is desperate to invent controversy

I think number 2 is more likely and I hope that the past week will be a wake up call that he's dead fucking wrong and needs to change ASAP. I included the first option because it would fall in line with Trump's door-in-the-face negotiating strategy.

He did right after the DNC because Hillary was so bombarded, but that Kazire Khan guy saved Hillary.

I can't take trump seriously.
But in the end it doesn't matter who gets elected or not we all lose.

Look, none of this matters. Putin will hack the voting machines to put Trump in power. It will all be OK and America will be great again.

yeah, i guess. i agree that he needs to start winning some voters over, and not enough voters find "presidential trolling" to be a good enough issue to get behind. if he doesn't have a plan B, then i'm not so sure he will win. I used to be pretty sure he would win but...Paul Manafort? The guy who ran Bob Dole's campaign? Remember President Dole? Nope, me neither.

>increasingly nervous man

How coincidental that the leaked letter about big guy CIA 'Mark' (who specifically mentioned explicit threats against Obama's life with the Zapruder thing) and Trump's non-stop spaghetti incidents of the past few days coincide so closely.

It's not a stretch to assume that Trump's camp would be actively digging up shit to use against the Clintons, or that he would have people here.

This is just speculation, but I think Trump has either realised that he would never have a genuine shot (due to voter fraud or assassination) - or if he did win legitimately, he'd be kept under control with constant death threats if he deviates from 'acceptable' courses of action. Acting like a retard is the easiest way to throw the race, as he'd either be unelectable or the R party will change their nominee.

>inb4 tinfoil

Most likely.

Let's look back on some hilarious things that came up during the primaries.

His daughter is besties with Chelsea. They've shared a toothbrush.

Two of his kids couldn't vote for him because they neglected to change their voter registration to republican in time.

He declared that housing, health care and education are the top responsibilities of the federal government in the debates.

He's been in it from day one to help clinton win. The sad thing is that even with all his constant fuckups the trumptards bought into it.

>gaffes, unpresidential, ridiculous, unrefined, unsophisticated
>narcissism, add, irrational
>stubborn
>outrageous
>shill
>paid to lose
>unserious
>unpresidential, troll

hmmmmmmm but... after he wins, doesn't this just complicate your problem?

He didn't fuck up by tripling down on his slapfight with a gold star family and his polls definitely don't paint a grim picture. He's actually doing really well I saw a picture of a crowd.

>>He legitimately has a problem wherein he can't help but attack someone personally when they criticize him even when doing so will severely damage his image and poll numbers

honestly i'm a trump fan and believe 100% in his 4d chess genius but i also think this is true and his life history proves it. sometimes it works out for him, sometimes not, but he never backs down once challenged. just like he said to megyn kelly, he was impressed she took the initiative to mend their relationship, which he would have never done. he admits it.

>anything against my narrative is a shill REEEEEEE
I guess you guys belong to the infamous "uneducated voters" demographic that I unfortunately have to associate myself with as a Trump supporter.

Trump refusing to endorse Paul Ryan, after Ryan endorsed him and after the convention that was supposed to unify the party, is not "invented controversy". That's Trump being unnecessarily combative because it makes him feel good. It does absolutely nothing to boost his support. I'm no fan of Paul Ryan either but Trump needs his support in order to win this election. Paul Ryan doesn't need shit from Trump.

Who am I shilling for? I hate Trump and Hillary both, kill yourself you trump/hillaryshill

You didn't answer my question, you stupid fucking faggot.

What fuckups?

No way is Trump gonna win in November now.

Think of Mitt Ronney and John Mccain and their considerably minor fuck ups and think about how devastating that was for their campaign.

The mainstream media has been tame still about the scandals because Hillary is still leading the polls. Come Oct and November, they will unleash all hell. Hillary has not had to use her campaign funds for ads.

I'm sorry bros, but it's over.

Fifth possibility.

The media spins every single thing into a negative event. So much so, that no one is immune to their giant attempt at controlling the narrative.

>doubled down on criticism of the Khan's
Completely unnecessary to begin with, and then to continue to double down on it, when you know virtually all levels of the media are biased against you and will exploit whatever you say, is downright retarded. If anything, tell your surrogates in the media to hammer the point but as the presidential candidate you need to shut your fucking mouth.
>doubled down on targeting of establishment Republicans when their support is necessary in order to win the election
Trump abandoned any hopes of appealing to the broader "disenfranchised democrats/undecided independents" with his choice of Mike Pence. The strategy was clear with this choice - unify the Republican Party in a way that hasn't been done in 10+ years while at the same time bringing in enough independents to put you over the top. The convention was supposed to solidify this unity and for a time it was very successful in doing just that, which is why Trump was 7+ points ahead in the polls and had 85%+ Republican party support, on par with GWB. He's now ~78% Republican party support, and dropping, and he's down by ~10 points in most national polls and far more than that in most battleground states. Trump does not have to embrace establishment policies or be nice to establishment politicians for the Republican party unity strategy to work. He just has to not be so adversarial and blatantly against them.

>Trump refusing to endorse Paul Ryan, after Ryan endorsed him and after the convention that was supposed to unify the party, is not "invented controversy". That's Trump being unnecessarily combative because it makes him feel good. It does absolutely nothing to boost his support. I'm no fan of Paul Ryan either but Trump needs his support in order to win this election. Paul Ryan doesn't need shit from Trump.


Trump is using, almost word by word, the same thing that Ryan said when he wasn't endorsing Trump. It's pretty much a big Fuck you to Ryan for not nutting up and endorsing Trump when he was suppose to. I find it funny how people are going apeshit about Trump not endorsing him when those same people didn't say a peep when Ryan wasn't endorsing Trump.

And Ryan is up for re-election. Trump doesn't need his support. Ryan needs Trumps support.

The media called Romney racist once in September and he immidently threw the towel. Trump has been called Hitler, antisemite, racist, mysoginist, Russian plant, Hillary plant, dumbass, homophobe, transphobe, rapist, poor, rich ... and he always did recover.

>doubled down on criticism of the Khan's
That's some literal who that knocked him at the DNC and all he did was put him in his place. You realize that Trump got popular by not being a betamax faggot like all the other politicians right?

>>doubled down on targeting of establishment Republicans when their support is necessary in order to win the election
They keep attacking him. It's their fucking job to support the current nominee. Plus, Pence met with and endorsed Paul Ryan recently so he's extending an olive branch.

>Trump still thinks the strategy he used to win the primaries, creating as much controversy as possible, will be just as successful in the general.

Sounds like the forecast to me.

He just doesn't understand when to use that to his advantage and when it becomes too much.

>Trump is using, almost word by word, the same thing that Ryan said when he wasn't endorsing Trump. It's pretty much a big Fuck you to Ryan
I'm aware. And it felt good when Trump said it, because Ryan's previous refusal to endorse Trump was unnecessary as well. But saying things just because they feel good or because the other person deserved it isn't how you run a presidential campaign, especially when doing so will damage you. What benefit does Trump gain from being adversarial to Ryan? Fucking none. It might make his and his 13 million voters' respective dicks hard, but that's it.

> Trump doesn't need his support. Ryan needs Trumps support.
You're a fucking idiot. Ryan has 80% support in his home district. If anything, Trump being antagonistic towards Ryan actually helps him. Trump, meanwhile, has thrown all of his eggs in the "unify the republican party" strategy. There are still millions of Americans who indentify with the establishment Republican wing who are extremely reluctant to vote for Trump. Without their support, Trump doesn't have a chance in hell. Paul Ryan is absolutely vital in bringing this group into the Trump camp as he's essentially the leader of this wing of the Republican party. If Paul Ryan retracts his endorsement of Trump, Trump's finished.

My 4d chess headcanon is that trump has a good idea of what wikileaks has or has his own info that he hasn't released yet that really will get Hillary indicted or at least irrevocably destroy her campaign. Knowing this he can do whatever he wants and make these power plays like saying fuck you to Ryan to show the GOP he will take none of their shit once he's president. If this isn't true he has a lot of work to do to win in November, although I think the debates will go well for him.

GOD DAMN SHILLS JUDGING HIS FUCK UPS INSTEAD OF REFERENCING SPECIFICS

It could be part of a grand lesson he's giving us in the reality of the American situation today. Things are backwards. People actual value the feelings of others and not appearing racist over their own safety and other things that matter.

>all he did was put him in his place.
Is this your first election? The only people who view his response in this manner are Trump supporters. Trump does not need to appeal to Trump supporters. He needs to appeal to undecided voters. Undecided voters, who are reluctant to endorse Trump and are extremely susceptible to media influence, are overwhelmingly rejecting this response specifically and this type of demeanor in general. Trump gains nothing by continuing to behave this way but could only gain support by adjusting his demeanor. There's nothing Trump could have realistically said regarding the Khan's that would have made me, or any of his core supporters, think he was actually a beta cuck bending over to "some literal who". Yet, there is plenty that Trump could have said that would have mad the undecideds think "hmmm maybe he's not an aggressive adversarial asshole all the time and maybe he can handle criticism like an adult. I need to take a closer look at him." But, against all reason, he decided to throw red meat to his core supporters while further alienating undecided voters.

>They keep attacking him
>wahhhhh they hurt my feelings
Grow the fuck up. HE NEEDS THEIR SUPPORT. His entire strategy relies on unifying the entire Republican Party, and establishment Republicans and their supporters constitute AT LEAST 40% of the party, if not more. Without a unified Republican party, this will be a historic loss.

Sluggish schizophrenia comrade

Trump never wanted to be president.
You stupid fucks will let a woman like Hillary win.

>He legitimately has a problem wherein he can't help but attack someone personally when they criticize him even when doing so will severely damage his image and poll numbers

If you're such a stupid faggot that someone hurting your feefees makes them disqualified as a presidential candidate, you're probably voting for Shillary anyway.

>wahhhhh they hurt my feelings
No, he's saying "get on the Trump train or get run the fuck over"

>HE NEEDS THEIR SUPPORT.
No, they need to support him or see Hillary win the presidency because they're such neocon faggots and don't care about the country or their constituents. They need him. Not the other way around. The supporters of those other faggots have already made up their minds as to whether they're voting or not. If they are voting regardless, they'll vote for the candidate with the (R) next to their name.

>His entire strategy relies on unifying the entire Republican Party, and establishment Republicans and their supporters constitute AT LEAST 40% of the party, if not more. Without a unified Republican party, this will be a historic loss.
Yeah even more historic than Mittens and his unified Republican party.

You don't understand why Trump is so popular. He isn't an establishment cuck like Yeb! Hell Cruz was seen as the anti establishment runner until Trump actually told the establishment to fuck off.

Pollster here explains what is going on. Like what you said OP, this is last fucking train for him, he has to change himself right now or there wont be time anymore.

Here is a video where pollster explains things:

Saged just in case of shill.

I'm a big Trump supporter but I think 2 or 3 are equally likely. I think that's just how he grew up - if someone hits you, you hit back.

Trump is Trump. There's no mystery to the man and he doesn't try to pretend to be something he's not. He's refreshingly honest that way.

The question is, are the American people ready for a president who doesn't just vomit out unoffensive pleasantries all the time? Is America ready for someone real?

Because real is unpolished. Real means making mistakes and not always saying the "right" thing as defined by the media. It's not always nice.

We say we want our politicians to be real. Are we just lying to ourselves?

Trump does not make 'Gaffes".

The Clinton paid off shill media spin anything he says twisting it into soemthing they can present as negative.

that is the fact of the matter.

>If you're such a stupid faggot that someone hurting your feefees makes them disqualified as a presidential candidate, you're probably voting for Shillary anyway
>hurting your feefees makes them disqualified as a presidential candidate
hori shit you are a simple minded plebeian

Your feelings don't matter. What does matter is what you will do to help the country, and attacking a golden star family and acting like an aggressive chimp does not make people (aside from the few trump supporters) want to vote for him.
Also, there is a reason that to become a diplomat you have to be educated very well and speak in a diplomatic style, and the POTUS is not a position where you can just talk your mind

>No, they need to support him or see Hillary win the presidency because they're such neocon faggots and don't care about the country or their constituents. They need him. Not the other way around. The supporters of those other faggots have already made up their minds as to whether they're voting or not. If they are voting regardless, they'll vote for the candidate with the (R) next to their name.

>this is what trump supporters believe
Nobody, aside from you and a few others, see Trump as anything else than a joke

>You don't understand why Trump is so popular

Trump is so popular because he is able to appeal to the simple minded really well: they don't care about policy or actual content, they care about who talks about themselves the most and who is the most aggressive. They don't think about the long-term consequences of a Trump presidency, because they're unable to, they just see him as a tough guy who is very self confident, and so they flock to him like a bunch of beta sheep around the alpha

It's the greatest irony of the trump movement.

A bunch of ultra loyal, beta cucks running around insulting everyone who disagrees with their cult leader by calling them beta cucks for not falling in line with their devotion to their alpha.

Thanks for beating me too it.

>If you're such a stupid faggot that someone hurting your feefees makes them disqualified as a presidential candidate, you're probably voting for Shillary anyway.
So much edge. I hope to God you're still in high school. Not everyone reacts to conflict and controversy the same way that Trump and his supporters do. These are called undecided voters. Unless you're completely abandoning any hopes of attracting these people, which I wouldn't doubt because you're clearly retarded, it is vital to understand what will make them more attracted to you. The current overly macho Trump appearance isn't working. To be clear, I have no personal problem with the way Trump responded to the Khan's and I smiled when I read his response because I think the they deserved it. But Trump does not need to be doing anything to make me smile right now. He no longer needs to appeal to me. I am on the Trump train and will remain on the Trump train. To the average person who has no personal attachment to Trump, who hasn't been following his campaign for the past year and who hasn't felt a sense of victory when Trump was victorious and a sense of loss when Trump suffered losses, Trump just appears to be a huge douchebag attacking parents who's kid was killed in a war.

>No, he's saying "get on the Trump train or get run the fuck over"
Trump does not have the influence to run major party leaders over. His image is damaged right now.

>Yeah even more historic than Mittens and his unified Republican party.
He didn't unify the Republican party. This is common knowledge and is the reason why he lost the election.

At this point, you can continue to keep your head up your ass as the ship sinks around you and be surprised when you find yourself floating in the middle of the ocean, or you can start plugging up the holes and bailing out water.

this is what I mean by saying Trump supporters are so simple minded

>hori shit you are a simple minded plebeian
Kay

>Your feelings don't matter. What does matter is what you will do to help the country,
Exactly. He didn't get all sad because some sandnigger said mean to things to him. He told him how much of a faggot he was. Kind of like how I'm going to do the same to you, you slanty eyed rice eating gook faggot.

>and attacking a golden star family and acting like an aggressive chimp does not make people (aside from the few trump supporters) want to vote for him.
He didn't attack the literal who. He said "fuck off"

>Also, there is a reason that to become a diplomat you have to be educated very well and speak in a diplomatic style, and the POTUS is not a position where you can just talk your mind
It will be when Trump takes office. Other countries don't like it then they can fuck off as well. We're the biggest economy and military in the world. Either suck our dicks or enjoy your imploding economy when we just won't trade with you.

>Nobody, aside from you and a few others, see Trump as anything else than a joke
Guess that's why he won the Republican nomination then, huh faggot?

>Trump is so popular because he is able to appeal to the simple minded really well: they don't care about policy or actual content, they care about who talks about themselves the most and who is the most aggressive.
Nice projection Ching chong. I care immensely about his policies outlined on his site. I've read them all.
donaldjtrump.com/positions

>They don't think about the long-term consequences of a Trump presidency, because they're unable to, they just see him as a tough guy who is very self confident, and so they flock to him like a bunch of beta sheep around the alpha
Again, great projecting. I like him because of his policies and because his presidency will shake up the shitty establishment that hasn't done shit for anyone but the elites for decades now.

Just like Obama 8 years ago, but also Reagan, and the 30% who still supported Bush at the end of his term. This is not uncommon in American politics.

>So much edge.
I guess if not caring about how a person acts and whether it makes me sad :-( but instead what his policies are is edgy, sure thing.

>I hope to God you're still in high school.
Really adds to your point man, good work.

>The current overly macho Trump appearance isn't working.
Really? Because it won him the nomination...

>Trump just appears to be a huge douchebag attacking parents who's kid was killed in a war.
I guess if they're retarded and didn't actually read what Trump said, sure. Then again, I doubt there's anyone on the fence that would be swayed some non-issue pumped up CNN because they haven't another non-issue to latch onto yet. And you're forgetting that a lot of undecideds actually like this type of shit. A lot of America is sick of this PC bullshit. Sick of sucking Islam's collective dick. Sick of constantly walking on eggshells. This is actually helping him in a lot of ways.

>Trump does not have the influence to run major party leaders over. His image is damaged right now.
You sound like an increasingly nervous man. No one gives a shit about that whoever sandnigger. The news might make you think that though.

>He didn't unify the Republican party. This is common knowledge and is the reason why he lost the election.
Well I guess not 100% unified, but at least mittens didn't have faggots like Ryan still against him this late into race.

>At this point, you can continue to keep your head up your ass as the ship sinks around you and be surprised when you find yourself floating in the middle of the ocean, or you can start plugging up the holes and bailing out water.
Guess we'll find out in November then.

he attacked a person who has sacrificed far more to his country than Trump ever did

>be trump
>inherit a organization worth nearly 1 billion dollars accounting for inflation
>end up with allegedly 4 billion dollars now

he literally did nothing his whole life and made 4 times more money than he started with, while the average house in manhattan has become 60 times more expensive, so he could've earned more by randomly buying them and reselling.

compared to trump, khan has done way more to the country

>have you ever stopped for a moment and looked at trump from a non-biased viewpoint?
Don't know where you're finding the lack of bias. Can't be in the article as it clearly and purposefully twists Scott Adams words to create a bullshit title that is essentially the opposite of what Adams said, and can't be in Adams because he's an admitted Trump supporter.

>He has no skills, he has no idea about what is what, and he knows nothing about the world stage.
Except for the skills that allowed him to become worth several billion dollar and create a real estate empire that expands the globe.

What a moronic statement. The policies on Trump's website are legitimate well thought out common sense policies that Americans have been asking for for decades. The only reason why they're scoffed at is because simple minded fools like you can't separate them from Trump, who you are biased against.

No, he told a literal who whose son died in a war Hillary votes for to fuck off.

It's actually a compliment. Politics in Europe is very boring and down-to-earth. The average politician doesn't have any charisma whatsoever, except when it comes to populist parties.

>Don't know where you're finding the lack of bias. Can't be in the article as it clearly and purposefully twists Scott Adams words to create a bullshit title that is essentially the opposite of what Adams said, and can't be in Adams because he's an admitted Trump supporter.
did you even watch the video? he never supported trump, he just claims he's using his crazy clown persona as a manipulation technique, and that you're falling for it

"So I’ve decided to endorse Hillary Clinton for President"

>Except for the skills that allowed him to become worth several billion dollar and create a real estate empire that expands the globe.
Wow, he sure is a genius, starting off with an organization worth $0.8 billion accounting for inflation, he managed to get 4 billion dollars, even though he underpreformed the housing market in manhattan more than 10 times

>And this is him acting like every politician ever
no, because other politicians actually care to spend some time to research what they will be talking about and the way the world runs, instead of just believing they are the best at everything (this is what trump keeps on saying about himself)

>What a moronic statement. The policies on Trump's website are legitimate well thought out common sense policies that Americans have been asking for for decades. The only reason why they're scoffed at is because simple minded fools like you can't separate them from Trump, who you are biased against.

Huh, my text got all wonky while pasting this... Let me try and recreate it.

>have you ever stopped for a moment and looked at trump from a non-biased viewpoint?
Yes, that's what I do all day every day. The problem is, increasingly nervous men can never actually bring a point up that I can't refute with either facts, logic, or isn't an outright lie.

>rawstory
Wew. Anyway:
Wow the opinion of a comic strip writer. Convinced me man. He doesn't bring any facts to the table.

>trump is extremely inexperienced - the only reason he still is in the race is because he's a conman
Keep telling yourself that.

>He has no skills,
He's plenty skilled my man, youre just throwing random shit out there and hope I don't address them.

>and he knows nothing about the world stage.
He knows plenty of the world stage. This is him saying the same stuff he's saying today way back in 1987. He touches on world trade, our relationships with both allies and enemies, politics, etc.

>He doesn't even know why people don't want to use nukes
I'm pretty sure he's aware, buddy. He just never took it off the table as a last resort. And he means LAST resort. Like WWIII shit.

>huffingtonpost
Wew again, but I still addressed it, just wanted another wew.

>and this is him bullshitting some random stuff when asked about a completely different question
See? Was that so hard? To actually get something instead of your shitty opinions? Yeah i think he was caught off guard about the nuclear triad. I didn't really know what it was either. Still, I bet he brushed up on it after the debate.

>That's because there's nothing to read. I'm surprised you even managed to muster up enough attention to read the few paragraphs he has written there
Keep grasping at straws. As an aside, has anyone else, including Hillary, put out anything remotely as detailed as those few paragraphs?

2/2

>Wow, he sure is a genius, starting off with an organization worth $0.8 billion accounting for inflation, he managed to get 4 billion dollars, even though he underpreformed the housing market in manhattan more than 10 times
I don't know where you're pulling this 4 billion dollar figure from, but yeah, getting rich with smart investments takes a lot of smarts and foresight. You do it if it's so easy.

I think you accidentally misquoted me in this post but I'm still responding to this point because I want to.

This!
Where the fuck is this trump?
Where is the slick calm collective trump?

The only actual problem with Trump is his personality. His platform is more popular than himself. Polls show that his wall and Muslim ban get over 50% of support.

Therefore, Trump does to a certain extent appeal to a wider electorate than his primary voters, and the outcome of the primaries does reflect the wishes of half the population, but he's ruining it with his brash, unfiltered personality. If this would have been a referendum instead, November would have been like Brexit.

Cruz is too much of a social conservative, Rubio is too unexperienced, nobody would have voted for another Bush, and Carson is too sleepy and nuts. Neoconservatism lost its appeal after dubya, and the people wanted something different.

Yes I watched the video. His appearance on Bill Maher does not constitute the totality of his political commentary this election cycle and his words do nothing to contradict his previous statement. And you conveniently left out the part where he says he only supports Clinton because he's terrified of Clinton supporters and he believes his personal safety is at stake if he comes out as a Trump supporter publicly, you slimy fuck.

>but he's ruining it with his brash, unfiltered personality
That's the problem, looking at Trumps life, you instantly see a person without substance and without a personality: to some people he claimed he supports certain viewpoints, to others he claims he opposes them. His whole life has been making up exaggerated enough stories about himself to gain attention and spotlight, his own ghostwriter of "The Art of the Deal" said this:
>“Trump didn’t fit any model of human being I’d ever met. He was obsessed with publicity, and he didn’t care what you wrote.”
And this is a common theme with most people who have been around Trump

quora.com/Does-Scott-Adams-support-Trump
Answer by himself: NO, he doesn't support any candidate, because his own preferences do not align with them

>“He has no attention span.”
>“It’s implicit in a lot of what people write, but it’s never explicit—or, at least, I haven’t seen it. And that is that it’s impossible to keep him focussed on any topic, other than his own self-aggrandizement, for more than a few minutes, and even then . . . ” Schwartz ["The Art of the Deal"'s ghostwriter] trailed off, shaking his head in amazement. He regards Trump’s inability to concentrate as alarming in a Presidential candidate. “If he had to be briefed on a crisis in the Situation Room, it’s impossible to imagine him paying attention over a long period of time,” he said.

He is the textbook example of a narcissist:
>Grandiosity with expectations of superior treatment from others
>Fixated on fantasies of power, success, intelligence, attractiveness, etc.
>Self-perception of being unique, superior and associated with high-status people and institutions
>Needing constant admiration from others
>Sense of entitlement to special treatment and to obedience from others
>Exploitative of others to achieve personal gain
>Unwilling to empathize with others' feelings, wishes, or needs
>Intensely jealous of others or the belief that others are equally jealous of them
>Pompous and arrogant demeanor

> His daughter is besties with Chelsea. They've shared a toothbrush.

>Howard Stern asks if he supports the war
>"yeah I guess?" in a passive way
>less than 6 months later, 3 months before the initial invasion even happens say the war is a problem and we should be concentrating on the economy instead
Yeah man he flipped harder than he flopped what a madman!

(((((CNN))))
Jesus Christ you dirty gook, he said he won't go farther into Ukraine. He said Putin won't go into Ukraine, then touched that Putin already has a little foothold in Crimea and that is a bit more complicated.

>Obama
Yeah who would have thought he'd say good thingd about the president as a private businessman then when it isn't just shitty on the phone interviews, actually says what he means.

>Hillary
Yeah, same with Hillary. Why would he say nice things about a Senator who could do favors for him and then when she couldn't, stop?

>NATO
He isn't against NATO you stupid faggot, he wants everyone in it to pay what they owe or suffer consequences.

(((((politico))))

Holy shit did you read that shit? It's all mundane bullshit that doesn't mean anything.
>I don't want to run for president -like 1987 or some shit
>I'm running for president -2015
God damn you're really fucking trying. Watch the video I posted before where says all the same shit he's saying today back in 1987

You're ignoring the possibility that your fourth case is motivated by him being a plant by the clintons. He may have entered just to fuck with the republican party.

Consider the fact that he chose Pence as VP.

>He only read a few of the total contradictions
How about reading the whole things instead of the clickbaity ones?

>Watch the video I posted before where says all the same shit he's saying today back in 1987
The reason he's still saying all the same things is because he hasn't mentally developed - everything he says is based off of a simple world view
His opinions have no substance

It's easy to keep spouting the same bullshit for multiple decades, but actually developing a more complex opinion is harder

Paul Manafort and his family actually pretty much forced him to select Pence, to get some balance.

>support iraq war
>eventually oppose it when everyone understands it was a mistake

You're either a fucking liar or a gullible fucking idiot.

>be trump
>support obama
>oppose obama
I supported Obama in 2008 as well because GWB was a failure and McCain wanted to continue his policies. I now think Obama is a failure, and have for quite some time. This is a feeling shared by millions of Americans and is an example of Trump's common sense non partisanship.

>support NATO
>7 days later oppose NATO
"Trump criticized aspects of NATO. This means that he thinks NATO is worthless and wants to abolish it."
You're a child.

He's an old man who's set in his ways, and doing exactly what he's doing now got him where he is today. This is despite not only many individuals in his life, but the media as a whole (at least the New York based media) ridiculing his every move and trait for the past 40 years.

Why would he change now?

>You're either a fucking liar or a gullible fucking idiot.
your article proved my point

>You're a child.
Coming from a guy who supports somebody without any real proposals other than "I will become president, wave my magic wand around, and everything will be fixed", and who has kept repeating "you’re going to see a catastrophe in this country in the next four years like you’re never going to believe" for the next few decades, that's rich

Most of them aren't even contradictions pham. Shit like "On a lot of issues I'm Democrat" and then "I'm a Republican" more than a decade later. You can have views from each party. You can have a view the Democrat party has but still be a Republican. And yes, he's admitted he changed from pro choice to pro life, that is a legitimate political viewpoint he actually did change, I won't argue that one. People change their minds over many many many years.

>The reason he's still saying all the same things is because he hasn't mentally developed - everything he says is based off of a simple world view
>His opinions have no substance
Holy shit do you even know what his opinions and political stances are!? About foreign policy? How we're getting ripped off in international trade? How we pay to protect our allies and they don't pay us back or really do anything for us? He wants to make everything fair. Including with you guys. No more LG's entering our country unless you pay a tax on them. No more protecting you from Kim without you paying us a little bit. Same with Europe and Japan.

>It's easy to keep spouting the same bullshit for multiple decades, but actually developing a more complex opinion is harder
I don't k ow what you want. Up above you implied changing your stances OS bad and now you want him to change his stances. It's like you just want to not like him, not even giving him an objective look. You've already made up your mind and you'll seek out evidence to support your conclusion.

He wrote a book about it.

He's playing everyone, including Sup Forums.

>your article proved my point
Got it, you're a gullible fucking idiot. The article proves that Trump was lukewarm about it before we went in, referred to it as a mess shortly thereafter, said he didn't think it was the right move several months later, and by early 2004 is on the record as being firmly against it. This was during a time when the war still enjoyed 55%+ public support.

> "I will become president, wave my magic wand around, and everything will be fixed"
Confirmed for never having read his website. And that's fine because you're irrelevant, but don't pretend like you're educated.

>In 2013, he said, “I do have a relationship.” In 2014 he said, “I spoke, indirectly and directly, with President Putin” and said the Russian leader had sent him a present. In 2015, he said, “I got to know him very well” due to their joint appearance on 60 Minutes.
>More recently, though, Trump has said, “I never met Putin — I don’t know who Putin is” and “I have no relationship with him.”

>"Now we should go in, we should stop this guy (Muammar Gaddafi), which would be very easy and very quick"
>"So I think he’s trying to take sort of a neutral turn. And what he said just makes absolutely no sense. And at this point, if you don’t get rid of Gadhafi, it’s a major, major black eye for this country. But you also have to ask the other question, who is paying for this? You have Saudi Arabia, the Arab League, the richest nations in the world, saying go in and get them. We don’t like them. Go in and get them. And why aren’t they paying for this?"
>I never discussed that subject. I was in favor of Libya? We would be so much better off if Gaddafi would be in charge right now.

You sure are retarded
I guess these aren't contradictions or lies
Trump is a political genius who is able to predict everything, but forget about the fact that he predicts it after it happens, and he predicts the exact opposite before it happens

>pic related: you

Yep, Trump is the most honest candidate, definitely not a conman.
Websites tracking his lies definitely do not exist, because according to Trump, "there will be no lies".

Honestly, how gullible and retarded can you be?

He has more media coverage now than ever before.

>implying that implying anything but 11D chess master could possibly be legitimate on Sup Forums

It's about time to stop playing le 4d chess and roll out the presidential demeanor for fucks sake

the play is that either he gets to be President, or he gets to start his own TV network and compete with Fox. win win!

>liberal
>on Sup Forums

Leave immediately and never come back

Tlump racks disciprine.

He has had several great opportunities to start "acting presidential" and slide into an easy victory. I've come to believe he just can't help himself and it's playing directly into Hillary's main campaign focus that he "doesn't have the temperament" to be President.

>he's playing everyone
>see, look, he's getting the media to cover him and using hyperbole!

Gee wiz, dumbass. It's almost like he's doing exactly what every single other presidential candidate in the history of man has done.

I honestly think that Trump got into the race as a publicity stunt. Then, he stayed to fuck over Jeb. Then, he realized he was going to be the nominee. It was all just a stunt that got out of hand. There is no reason for him to want the job. He was talking about new TV projects while he was running which meant that he never intended to get this far.

I think he ran in the primaries for publicity and didn't mean to get the nomination but he felt too much pressure from family/friends/bobby knight so decided to just stay in it till the end. I don't think he wants to be president. Hes rich as fuck and doesn't need or want the work or stress involved. I think hes purposefully going to lose, which hurts because i bought into the memes and voted for him.

bottom line- IF HE ACTUALLY WANTED TO BE PRESIDENT HE'D ACT LIKE IT. He knows what hes doing.

there was literally nothing to gain in engaging with khan

absolutely nothing. let his campaign/the internet expose the guy, don't fucking get into a scrabble with some nobody.
