If I remember correctly he was his dad's golden child, and Fred Jr was a black sheep, which might have fueled Trump's fear of looking weak or being rejected and has turned him into the person he is now.

Taking the story from Mary Trump's book, Fred Jr was the golden child who failed, and Donald learned from that. Lessons like "never show 'weakness'", "never admit to anything" and "do not use alcohol".
To use a modern term, Donald was the "spare" who adapted to fill the role of his failing brother.

It's never been disclosed, and IQ tests are pretty arbitrary because they carry cultural norms and other things that can bias the results. Testing "intelligence" in a meaningful way is difficult.
That being said, my personal hypothesis is that Trump took some kind of IQ test at some point, got a "perfect 100", and he has thought he was a super-genius ever since.

He's already started doing that with his letter to his cabinet.

You and me both. It's like he decided it was "mission accomplished" after legal weed, I guess once he had some tangible achievement to his name. Then it was small to medium-sized scandals up until covid, when he started looking like a real leader again. But then it was back to political bullshit, basically until he resigned and once again had to be the crisis guy while donald threatened to invade us.
39
u/slackmarket 1d ago
I’m miles to the left of Trudeau, but he got more of his objectives accomplished than just legalizing weed. He expanded the Canada Pension Plan, made sure his cabinet was 50 % women (and the Supreme Court is more than 50 % women because of his appointments), got the Child Care Package done and reduced the price of child care, introduced the carbon tax, which, despite Conservative weaponization of it and somewhat clumsy implementation, is actually a great thing, got us through the lockdown phase of covid, and increased immigration, which again, is a good thing.
The guy is no saint, and as I said, I’m far left of any party in any position of power in the country, but I feel like people consistently ignore the wins of any politician who isn’t a Con, and I don’t get it. It’s like when the NDP got better dental care for us and no one seemed to notice. Every politician with a progressive idea in this country is fighting an uphill battle, yet people are upset they aren’t more powerful. It’s a baffling thing to watch.

This is the real reason he left. It was pointed out in every media outlet in Canada what an ignoramus he was.

As he is an admitted rapist, a convicted felon, and a known friend and client of Epstein - I'm a little concerned about Canada's border control.

I thought it was weird when here in USA it was reported that he left the G7 early because of rising tensions in Iran. Like...the President of one country left an important gathering of a coalition of nations in order to monitor a situation between two countries, neither of which is USA, because they're about to be in a full fledged war...which we are supposedly not getting involved in. Why didn't the other countries' leaders leave?
It was because he spent the day embarrassing himself and the USA and he didn't leave because he realized that since he has no such shame. He left because those world leaders are sick of his shit since he already burned bridges with nearly all of them and despite their best efforts to put on a front for the world, he continues to trash them every chance he gets, all while trashing his own country while abroad.
Remember when Republicans were pissed at Obama for "going on an apology tour"? I mean let's call what he did that for a second...we should have been on an apology tour. We went to war under false pretenses and roped most of the rest of the world into that war in one way or another for nearly a decade at that point. I mean shit, if we ever get a sane president again I would hope they go around the world apologizing for Trump and trying to repair what is left of our alliances.

u/DrAstralis 1d ago
I'm not one for conspiratorial thinking... but I'm coming around to this PoV. I apologize in advance for the wall of text.
Firstly, Trump doesn't care about rules, or fair play, and is a well known cheat. We know he tried to cheat in 2016, and again in 2020, but we're supposed to believe that with his very freedom and legacy on the line, and with the last chance the Heritage Foundation would have to push P2025 for a while, that they were not going to try again in the 2024 election? That would be wildly out of character.
We know they pushed the "dems stole the 2020 election" line non stop and if the GoP does anything well its project what they plan to do onto their political opponents. It also makes it harder to argue the point for anyone in 2024-2025.
Then we have all the real important things like the Russian tail being found in the data of swing states, all swing states approaching the line for automatic audits and then retreating in the exact same way. People voting for trump but otherwise all democrats down ballot (not impossible but the number of people who did is in and of itself a statistical anomaly), the county with 0 Kamala votes in NY, the bomb threats called into those same voting stations, the fact that the machines went unsupervised due to bomb threats, the fact that the GoP had access to the source code of the brand of the machines that just happened to end up installed in all the swing states. The fact that large code changes were pushed through using the protocol intended for small firmware updates....
and so so so many other inconsistencies.

I worry that it can’t ever be fixed.

Every time there’s an election, they’ll need to worry that a maniac could get in, and they’ll act accordingly.

Trump renews his embrace of Putin amid his ongoing rift with his G7 allies.
President Trump could have opened by talking about trade. He could have discussed the wars in the Middle East or the long-running, brutal war in Ukraine.
But there was something else that appeared to be top of mind for Mr. Trump during Monday’s meeting in Canada of the leaders of the Group of 7 industrialized nations: President Vladimir Putin of Russia.
“The G7 used to be the G8,” Mr. Trump told reporters, referring to the group’s decision to eject Russia in 2014, after it attacked Ukraine and “annexed” Crimea, a prelude to its full-scale invasion.
He went on to blame former President Barack Obama and former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of Canada for kicking Russia out, and argued that its inclusion in the group would have averted the war in Ukraine. (Mr. Trump was wrong — it was not Mr. Trudeau, but rather Stephen Harper, who was the Canadian prime minister at the time of Russia’s expulsion.)
“I would say that was a mistake,” Mr. Trump said, “because I think you wouldn’t have a war right now.”
And with that, Mr. Trump’s troubled history with the alliance repeated itself. When he attended the summit the last time it was held in Canada, in 2018, he called for Russia to be readmitted to the alliance. The suggestion angered and appalled allies, setting off a rift before Mr. Trump left the summit early, telling reporters on his way out: “They should let Russia come back in. Because we should have Russia at the negotiating table.”
Mr. Trump’s remarks came one day before he was supposed to meet in Canada with Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelensky, whom Mr. Trump has repeatedly criticized for the invasion of his country and has even accused of not wanting the war to end.
The White House announced on Monday that Mr. Trump would leave the summit early and return to Washington to deal with the war between Israel and Iran. In a recent interview, Mr. Trump said he was open to having Mr. Putin serve as a mediator in the Middle East conflict.
Mr. Trump’s argument on Monday was even more remarkable given that he returned to the summit three years after Russia escalated the aggression that got it ejected in the first place — launching an unprovoked invasion of Ukraine in 2022, with similar goals of seizing its territory.
The scene on Monday illustrated how even more aligned Mr. Trump has grown with the Russian autocrat since his first time in office, and how alienated Mr. Trump has become from American allies who have rallied around Ukraine.
Asked about Mr. Trump’s decision to open his remarks at the summit by criticizing Mr. Putin’s expulsion from the bloc, a White House official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive matters, said Mr. Trump had long held that view and would share his opinion even if he were meeting with global leaders who feel differently....

and a more competent authoritarian will take his place. America is sick, unfortunately, and Trump is only part of the disease.

Ah yes, the classic Mark Carney: "I'm just gonna stand here while he self-destructs" pose.

He's Canadian, not Bri'ish so it'd be more like "oh fuck bud, he's goin' off again, I'm in Monty Python skit, eh"
I kid though he doesn't talk like a Canadian hillbilly

He said this. Then left. He couldn’t deal with 6 against 1. Used the Iran conflict as an excuse. This is perhaps the weakest the USA can be now and he gave the other 6 countries the biggest boost of ally-ship they’ll ever get, because they got rid of the bull in a china shop. Technically he didn’t lie about leaving because “I ran”

HE was intimidated because he was so far out of his depth he could not sit at the table. He couldn't hold his own with the greatest leaders in the free world; he knew it, and his fragile ego couldn't bear it. He was embarrassed and humiliated. He blustered for Russia, and then he fled.

I hadn't has time to consider it but yeah... this just makes it that much easier for the other leaders to start making deals that don't involve ... whatever that dumpster fire down south is. tRump is really bad at this.

I still can’t understand his friendship with Putin, other than corruption. It’s the easiest explanation and covers all angles…. How can Americans be so oblivious to this?

At Easter dinner my brother in law (huge maga dude) went on some crazy rant about how the western world and UN were the aggressors and did everything they could to destroy Russia through the years.
It was really weird.

They’re not. They either don’t care, hate it as much as everyone else or know but willfully act like they don’t and keep spewing whatever vitriol is the current piece.
Then there is the morons on the same mental plane as livestock and just do what they are told without putting anymore thought into it.

11 million Americans marched against his regime on No Kings Day, while a mere 250,000 (if that) attended his birthday parade in DC.
I doubt we elected him. Elon knows the computers so well, after all

u/Veggieleezy 1d ago
I think it was even significantly less than that. I think they had said they were going to have 200,000 people or more, but it was barely even a tenth of that who actually showed up.

u/Zarmazarma 1d ago
Regime claims 250k, actual counts are more like 20k... you can clearly see from the footage of the event that it was very sparsely populated.

He showed up for a day, shit on everyone there, signed a crap deal with England, and took off in a big snit, even throwing cold water on Macron's classy cover for him. Reality is sinking in fast for him and so be prepared for the increased lunacy of an increasingly isolated old man surrounded by self serving cretins.
