Donald Trump doesn’t easily forgive or forget.
As Trump’s Republican allies in the United States Congress block military aid that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says Kyiv desperately needs to avoid defeat in its war with invading Russian forces, it’s clear the former U.S. president’s ill will toward Ukraine has deep roots.
It was, after all, a phone call with Zelenskyy that led to Trump’s first impeachment in December 2019, after he was accused of seeking to influence the 2020 election by leaning on the Ukrainian leader to investigate current President Joe Biden and his son Hunter.
Whatever. He’s been a Russian asset since the mid 80’s.
Tried to win the Presidency as a Democrat & when Putin finally realized the GOP was the US party that was actually for sale, switched to the GOP.
He works for Putin, not us.
He hates Ukraine because his boss manipulated him into hating Ukraine. That’s what happens when you put egomaniacal, mentally defective degenerates - i.e., 99.99999% of the republican party - in charge of anything. They’re fucking tools.
I think he hates Ukraine because they had the balls to stand up to russia and trump is too much of a pussy, so he’s jealous.
Unfortunately, this knuckle-dragger is not capable of admitting, perhaps even understanding, that he brought all of this on himself. Everything bad that happens to him is someone else’s fault. Everything good that happens was his idea.
Yes, these are the textbook symptoms of a textbook narcissist. Incapable of empathy. Basically an unfillable hole that will pull in and destroy anyone around them.
Actually from the dsm (the book) he is not a narcissist.

Here is an article from the man who wrote this diagnostic criteria for narcissism and why we should not use mental illness as an insult
I don’t know how you concluded that I was using “narcissist” as an insult, because I wasn’t.
From the linked article, written 7 years ago, only a handful of months into his presidency when there was still a swell of mental health professionals maintaining that they should remain impartial:
Trump is an undisputed poster boy for narcissism. He demonstrates in pure form every single symptom described in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders(DSM) criteria for narcissistic personality disorder, which I wrote in 1978. But lots of successful people are extremely narcissistic without being mentally ill — think most celebrities, many politicians, and a fair percentage of writers, artists, lawyers, doctors, and professors. To qualify for narcissistic personality disorder, an individual’s selfish, unempathetic preening must be accompanied by significant distress or impairment. Trump certainly causes severe distress and impairment in others, but his narcissism doesn’t seem to affect him that way.
In the 7 years since this article was written we’ve had plenty of people testify under oath about his severe distress and impairment, if that’s the criteria that was unmet at that point in time.
Can’t blame him for thinking there’s no consequences for doing crimes because he’s been getting away with that for 70 years with very little consequence. It’s really an indictment of the justice system that he (and thousands of guys like him) have been getting away with shit for so long.
To be fair to Cartman, he’s been shown to have the capacity to grow into a decent person under the right circumstances. Trump on the other hand will almost certainly always be Trump no matter the timeline
To be fair to Cartman, he’s been shown to have the capacity to grow into a decent person under the right circumstances.
Such as? The only times I can think of was when Cesar Milan “trained” him and he was ultimately only behaving to continue to manipulate his mum in future, and when they convinced him he was dead, where it was like 90% him responding to the lack of attention.
The covid one when they’re adults maybe? Can’t remember if he was lying/had an ulterior motive by the end of the episode
It always comes back to his own bullshit ego
More specifically: he is furious with Zelensky and Ukraine for not letting him use them as a bargaining chip. Trump cannot fucking fathom how someone he sees as less powerful than himself can defy him on anything.
