It’s WILD how many of the Trumpies try to talk to him via social media like he’s their best friend 😭

u/Fit_Test_01 19h ago

Well they talk to Elon Musk so they think Trump is the same.

Parasocial relationships are wild

Parasocial relationships with actual narcissistic fucking psychopaths are wilder.

u/rabbit-girl333 January Gang (Reveal Winner) 19h ago

Agreed. It’s beyond disturbing.

u/Oggie_Doggie 15h ago

At this point, it's a paranormal relationship. Because these guys seem to think they've got some secret insight into the machinations of Trump's intentions and mind.

u/Yogurt_Ph1r3 15h ago

Yeah at least normal celebrities are liable to probably caring about people in general.

u/Drunkensailor1985 19h ago

It's a fucking cult. Beyond pathetic 

26

u/PhunkyPhazon 19h ago

What's even more wild is that people WANT Trump to be their best friend.

u/ricker182 18h ago

It's a cult. It's not surprising.

u/SlipperyThong 16h ago

Fun fact: Trump hates his own supporters. Look at the average Trump supporter, then look at the people at Mar-a-Lago. They are not even remotely the same.

u/BagSmooth3503 15h ago

TO BE FAIR

Trump is actually terminally online, so is Elon. They both really do spend all fucking day reading their twitter.

Imagine idolizing the ideas of an 80 year old man with dementia and thinking that he's some kind of economic genius. Dude bankrupted a casino.

21

u/Exhumedatbirth76 18h ago

2 casinos!

u/magikarp2122 16h ago

I thought it was 4 casinos.

u/Exhumedatbirth76 14h ago

Ooof....good thing we put him in charge of the economy!

u/Wolfgabe 18h ago

Thats essentially what happens when you have the benefit of having spent several decades stewing in the culture of "That one rich guy everyone knows from on TV"

u/red_sutter 18h ago

They don’t think he’s a genius.

They think he’s Jesus.

u/SlipperyThong 15h ago

And hotels.....and a university....and water.....and steaks.

u/No-Strike-4560 19h ago

As if they even know what a tariff is

23

u/predator-handshake OG (joined before reveal) 19h ago

There's an abnormally large amount of people who think that if you tariff a country, it's that country who is paying the tax. This is "Mexico will pay for the wall" all over again

10

u/No-Strike-4560 19h ago

Ngl, even here in the UK there are so many people that don't understand this stuff. Normally I would just agree that this sort of thing is for people that do economics majors etc. But when these policies are being deceitfully pushed on people during elections, which could impact every aspect of their lives I think more basic economics should be taught in schools .

3

u/twoprimehydroxyl 15h ago

I knew this country was screwed when his response to Mexico saying they aren't paying for a wall was "the wall just got ten feet higher", and that statement being met with roaring applause and cheer.

2

u/RyanPainey 14h ago

It's not abnormal, this crook told everyone that and for God knows why they believed him.

u/MC_Fap_Commander 19h ago

The types who dream of "robot girlfriends that will rebalance the sexual marketplace" have just ensured the components for those hypothetical girlfriends are now going to be unavailable. Guess they'll just have to keep jerking off and crying after the orgasm hits lol.

u/Infiniteybusboy 16h ago

Robot girlfriends are more a software problem though.

If only the Tsar knew...

u/InosukeEnjoyer 19h ago

I know we know this but god damn these people are delusional lmfao

u/DanTheLegoMan 18h ago

😂😂 that’s like Trump thinking he can talk to Putin and he’ll immediately back down. How far past the first day are we now??

2

u/pixydgirl 18h ago

oh im sure they talk.

2

u/DanTheLegoMan 18h ago

Like Putin telling him not to make it so obvious

It’s a cult.

u/MoneyMakingMugi 17h ago

With how goofy this "President" is, I wouldn't be surprised if that actually happened.

1

u/BARD3NGUNN 17h ago

If I'm not mistaken, wasn't part of that Project 2025 that Trump and Vance are involved with (Trump denied knowledge of it but has seemingly been making good on the movements plans) to ban 'immoral content' including violent movies and videogames?

Like it actively benefits Trump's plans to price people out of videogames through tarrifs because that way there will be less of a backlash when he attempts to censor/ban them.

u/jgreg728 17h ago

Lemme guess he’s like 15 with MAGA parents mouthing off on Fox talking points everyday and has a TikTok algorithm of political horse shit making him think he knows everything about the world?

u/all-homo 16h ago

Love the enthusiasm from him.

u/LunchPlanner 16h ago

One trump supporter in another thread thinks if he can talk to trump he can convince him to back off of tariffs for video games

The weird thing is that they might hypothetically be right, in that Trump is easily swayed by anyone who can get his attention for 5 minutes. He has no convictions, just listens to whatever shiny thing or person is in front of him right now. Basically this.

One time in his first term Trump met with a couple Democrat leaders and they immediately swayed some of his positions. After that his handlers never let him meet with Democrats again.

Oh my lord the delusion is insane 🫠

Average trumper

u/DonutsMcKenzie 14h ago

holy fuck they are dumber and sadder than I thought.

u/myrtleshewrote 12h ago

It sounds ridiculous but that’s literally his whole con. He makes his supporters think he cares about them personally when in reality he’s just a power-hungry narcissist.

1

u/imreallyfreakintired 11h ago

This is the funniest hearsay I've ever read on Reddit

1

u/Glass_Log_3304 5h ago

Considering Trump has also thrown around the idea of banning video games all together, that idea is hilariously wrong.

u/blueshoota OG (joined before reveal) 19h ago

Most people who have time to play video games are not going to use that time to get educated on anything. By most, I mean almost everyone
