Kuleshov Effect
Can we be sure he didn’t just shit himself?
Dumper’s delight
D. Trumper the megadumper, happy as a pig in shit
Maybe that orange thing was duping some mug and shitting itself at the same time. A double whammy of shitty shitness and sharty shartness.
I couldn’t resist, this photo reminded me of this character
dont bring more war crimes into this
heyyy no need to drag the Grinch like that…
We should use this photo everywhere. It is very flattering.
No one can tell me that Leavitt wasn’t desperately trying to avoid winking when she said “shots will fly”. That smug look on her face said everything.
They’re super confident and cocky in their incometence. And why wouldn’t they be? No one…literally NO ONE…has called them out on it.

You need proof before you can call it an inside job.
But, honestly if this even slightly bumps his approval, I’d be surprised
Trump sucks for all the reasons but I’m pretty sure that’s just the face he makes when he takes a shit.
“I’m shitting myself right now and no one knows”
(we do)
Everybody knows.
Everybody smells.
Shart at :34, then watch the blonde woman behind him.

Pooper’s Delight
"Well my-name’s-Trumpershit and I’d like to say hello…
It went a-drip, PLOP, a-drippy, a-drippy 'nother drip-drip-PLOP and it don’t stop the droppin of the bad, bad, dookie, so much god damn dookie, 'til it be leaking out down by his feet.
Now what you smell is quite a mess; kinda like rotten beef.
Society really isn’t focused enough on the whole Dirty-Diapered Don angle. It would destroy his ego.
And yet his followers would just start wearing diapers and carrying signs saying “real men wear diapers”
As his T(rump) spot gets tickled.
We’ll need to radiate his body after he dies.
- To protect the grave from boot suckers.
- To keep those with valid rage from hurting themselves.
- If rises as a radiated monster, we get to shoot him again, and again, and again, and again. All the while he is in terrible pain. (yay!)
Win win win.
When Hitler so successfully lied to Chamberlain concealing that he had already mobilized the German army to attack Poland, he asked for a time-out from their meeting. With his generals who had been witnessing his most successful lies, Hitler went into an anteroom, where he reportedly jumped up and down with joy, and then having reduced his duping delight, he returned to the meeting.

Just wanted to express my wish for people to include this person’s name in the title so it gets blocked by my content filters.
Can’t hide your head in the sand forever…
At this point we all know who and what he is and those that don’t never will.
Trump bad. More at 11.
Being well-informed doesn’t require immersing yourself in an endless stream of outrage, nor does stepping back from that mean you’re turning a blind eye to anything.
There’s a difference between ignoring reality and choosing how and when to engage with it. Most of what passes for political content online isn’t a sober presentation of facts or ideas - it’s performance, manufactured outrage, and algorithm-driven noise. If someone wants to stay sane and focus on things they can actually influence in their immediate life, I don’t see that as sticking their head in the sand. I see it as setting healhy boundaries in an environment that’s often designed to provoke rather than inform.
People aren’t morally obligated to be constantly exposed to negativity just to prove they care. In fact, thoughtful action tends to come from those who can step back from the noise and think clearly, not from those who are perpetually consumed by it.
endless stream of orange
I just choose how and when to engage with reality, and leave out the blocking; you do this to exert control, because you feel out of control.
It won’t work, your attempt at control is a temporary illusion, because you’re trying to control others instead of controlling yourself.
Your blocking announcement is meant as an affirmation of control, but it is actually an announcement of your own weakness.
… not that there’s anything wrong with that
I like the path you’re on, but I dont even fully control myself. For example, I would like to use lemmy less.
You couldn’t sound like any more of a self aggrandizing arrogant prick.
Yesterday you basically said Hitler was right. And we are all asking ourselves the same. Guilt by association never excuses pre-emptive violence. By reducing the issue to race, you have lost touch with humanity.
Yes, allow your attention to be monopolized through your rage.
Most people don’t live in the US anyway
Most of the world sure is being affected by the stupid shit happening there.
Yes and our news programms report on the important stuff all the time. But I browse lemmy for enjoyment, and it being filled with US politics is insufferable
It’s actually your civic duty to develop an obsession, American or not. Because, remember, thats what activism is. Indeed how could we change anything by not feeding this black hole all of our collective mental energy?
Most people don’t speak English so we should switch to a more popular language like Finnish.
You could’ve picked a language that actually has more speakers lol
I vote the Fediverse just invents it’s own fake language, like Esperanto, or French.
Suomi mainittu
You do realize this is a universal psychological trait, right? Just because they posted one photo of a smug little piece of shit, does not make this a post about he who shouldn’t be named.
Yeah. This post isn’t about that guy for sure.
Sounds like someone fell for the bait.
oh man he looks like a pig who has human features o.O
Getting “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others" (George Orwell Animal Farm) vibes
This is how my grandmother would always catch me lying as a kid. I’d have a grin for any white lie I told and she’d immediately know I was lying. I could never figure it out until I was an adult and she told me her secret.
How many times were you caught staging a fake shooting of yourself?
At least 3 times
I will never complain about my childhood again.
Oh yeah, it’s all coming together
Huh. I never thought of Trump as super duper but it makes sense in this context.
He frequently tells those lies while poking his head out of a doorway, and constantly shits himself. That one video with the woman behind him flinching proves that he’s…
A super duper stoop scooper and a pooper stupor producer.
You should also know that if you are trying to apply this to real life, that you should probably go to therapy instead. Most people are reasonably honest and reasonably kind, and the best way to read people’s minds is to just ask what they are thinking.
Edit for additional context:
These sorts of “psycological FYIs” are frequently posted around and upvoted for the same reason that the news leads every hour with murders and car crashes - because bad news catches attention, and you get a little dopamine hit when you hear it because your brain believes that by hearing about danger, it is now safer from danger. So we get all sorts of posts about what deceivers, or abusers, or narcissists, or whatever, do.
And these posts are particularly enticing to lemmy’s demographic - terminally online, socially anxious autists who naturally have a hard time reading people. These sorts of posts come with an implicit promise - learn these tips, and you’ll finally be safe from people, like the ones who bullied you in middle school.
But take a step back and consider the actual implementation of this advice. Literally all it is saying is “people who smile are untrustworthy”. Which is quite possibly the worst advice if your goal is to successfully navigate the social landscape. This advice comes with far, far more noise than signal, because most people who are smiling most of the time are smiling simply because they are happy. These are the people you want to be around, because happy people are typically more open to meeting new people, being good friends, helping people in need, giving out useful advice, or having fun. This advice literally repels you from the people you should seek out the most.
And it is the same with all of these sorts of advice. People who cross their arms or turn slightly to the side or make poor eye contact or make excellent eye contact or whatever the fuck - people just do this shit all the time for ten million different reasons, with the least likely one being that they plan to rip you off selling you a used car or murder you in their basement. But what happens if you go out in the world looking for all these signals? Well then you will constantly be in your head, slow to speak, eyes darting around, fear and distrust written all over your face. And these are the things that will make the good, honest people around you look at you and get an uneasy feeling - not a thought, just a feeling. But enough of a feeling that they won’t extend an invite to their back yard bbq next weekend. The person who will reach out to you with open arms, though? The con man. Because he can see it written all over your face: “I am an easy target”.
Is Donald Trump a con man? Yes. But you already knew that. You didn’t need some galaxy-brain psychoanalysis to realize that they guy who sells mail order steaks and runs shitty casinos is a shit bag, even before he became president. But Donald Trump doesn’t live in your real life. He is not waiting on the street corner trying to sell you a corporate chain gym membership. Most people in your real life are not like Donald Trump - they are honest, kind, good hearted people that maybe don’t have time for your bullshit right now, but who are happy to help if it isn’t too much of an inconvenience to them. Most people who are like Donald Trump in real life tend to be easy to identify, in the same way Donald Trump is easy to identify. They aren’t subtle. They aren’t devious. Their game isn’t to con everyone - it is to con the dumbest motherfucker in the room. It is obvious to literally everyone else, which is why this guy is usually sitting alone at the bar talking to the bartender - the only people willing to talk to this guy are the people who are getting paid to.
So stop looking for all these devious evil masterminds out to fleece you for every penny and then fuck you in the ass. They mostly don’t exist, and the main way to attract them is to look like you have a history of social isolation. Just show up, meet people, get to know them, and assume the best. There is no way to completely protect yourself from bad people in the world - that’s just life. But constantly worrying about every single person you meet all the time puts you in a cage without any Buffalo Bill copycat having to lift a finger.
Good post. Well… good edit, because that first paragraph makes no sense. But I agree with the other six!
You’re reading way too much into this post
It’s just about trump being an asshole really.
Then why did you post it in You Should Know, or mention some junk pop psy garbage? If you wanted to hate on Trump, just make a shitpost in the shitpost sub with the title “I hate this guy”.
Why you gotta tell me what to do?
I really hope you’re not lumping Trump in with that whole “most people being reasonably honest and kind” bit. Because, oof.
I’m not. But when was the last time you met Donald Trump in real life?
… What?
I’m sorry - are you asking me when I last met Donald Trump because you think that “real life” means only the people I personally come into contact with, and not, you know, things that really happen in the world?
Don’t worry too much, you’re all just the fun little people that live in my phone, even Donald Trump is in there!
Maybe if I shake my phone a bit you’ll fall into the same memory address as him? Worth a shot
See my edit
1993, unfortunately. He smelled weird and had a toupee then too. I didn’t know who he was as I was 12 or 13 at the time, and as far as I was concerned this fat man was blocking my way to get to my school. What he was doing outside of Manhattan, I’ve no clue.
I’m sorry for your misfortune
The thing with donald trump is that he WILL tell you just what kind of a person he is… and people will think he’s lying.
NGL, my first thought for the TV President is that this is just another staged event to rally support around him so as to bolster his sagging ratings… because ultimately it’s only about how liked he is.
He’s Mr. Popularity after all.
Kind of my point. You don’t need “this one weird trick” to know he’s a shitbag.
It helps. Every little thing about that pedophile should be analyzed and exposed.
The more evidence the better.
Most of the world already knew what he was way back before he was even elected for the first time. But seemingly it was not enough for most of the Americans.
A picture of Trump smiling isn’t evidence of anything. This might be the way he smiles when he shits himself. And if you want evidence that he is a con man, its not like you have to try very hard. This picture ain’t gonna sway a 3 time Trump supporter, lol. Just admit that you’re having an anti-Trump circlejerk, and I’ll lend you my hand. But acting like you’re outing him using pop psychology you heard about from your moms Readers Digest is top-tier smoothbrain. Gonna analyze his zodiac sign next?
Most people are reasonably honest and reasonably kind.
I don’t disagree, but I stopped reading after that because this isn’t about “most people”, it’s about deceitful people and about trump. You wasted your time typing all of that irrelevant stuff for this post.
Unless you genuinely believe Trump is honest and kind.
Kind of a weird take, considering that the rest of my post was specifically written to address that concern
You either agree with the post or you don’t. And you don’t and I don’t have time to waste reading about “normal people”. I know them well enough myself, thanks.
Trump is not even human. I struggle to even type “kind” and “trump” in the same sentence. And you wrote a whole blog post about “bUt aKShuAlLy”
Yeah, I don’t agree that “you should know” (the sub we’re in and the title of this post) about “duper’s delight” (a useless pop psych concept).
You ok, mate?
Why would you think I’m not?
Good question.
I think in the first instance it was the overly verbose answer to a social media post. That suggests you either have a bit of time on your hands or you have very few people to talk to.
Secondly, the hints of grandeur in your comment. Calling out Lemmy users as autists. Weird to do that on this platform, of which you are also on.
But mostly, it’s that you’ve misread the social contract here, and that’s wild as you go on to tell people how to read the situation.
And so my question was genuine. Are you ok, or is there something going on that you need to talk about?
lemmy’s demographic - terminally online, socially anxious autists who naturally have a hard time reading people.
How dare you!
I mean, you’re not wrong but you don’t have to throw it in our faces. lol
Truth hurts, doesn’t it? But we’re in it together
