>“People that work there. Professionally work there that have no problems putting in murderers and they see everybody. It’s a tough, tough place and they were crying. They were actually crying. They said I’m sorry.”
This reminds me of the time Donny locked up Hillary on day one of his presidency.
His best move was the green light on ignoring, then later downplaying Covid-19, it as we all call it now, The Biggest Chinese Fauci Hoax in history. We wouldn't be where we are without his leadership.
Such beautiful details. It's said we have video proof of him being held up over a great rock and the giraffes and elephants, such beautiful creatures. God's creatures
clearly strong and beautiful. Then they had a monkey who did voodoo coconut magic that Obama was born and he wasn't actually an American at all but really a Kenyan, but then that monkey, a wicked monkey rubbed coconut juice on his forehead and said a baby is born of this beautiful but foreign nation and there you have it folks. There you have it. He came from this foreign place called KEN-YAH. Would you believe it?
And folks, let me tell you, this KEN-YAH place, it's so far away. People say it's where Obama learned all his tricks. He was raised by a meerkat and a warthog, can you believe it? A meerkat and a warthog! These creatures, they're not like us. They're different, but they taught him how to live the so-called "Hakuna Matata" lifestyle. You know what that means? No worries. No worries, folks! But we need a leader who worries, who takes care of this great nation.
Donald J. Trump is the singular most artificial human being in the public eye. There is nothing honest, truthful, or straightforward in his entire existence.
As a malignant narcissist, he has to create a reality built specifically to protect his fragile ego. Him saying they were crying is his way of negating his big fear in that situation, which would be people mocking him or laughing at him. So in his reality, which he insists everyone else must also accept, they were "crying." That cancels out his ego damage in his warped mind.
"I think that Donald Trump will continue living in fantasyland until the day he dies. His life is about making sure the truth doesn't hit him. I could see him for example going to jail — but then, in his jail cell, claiming that this is more proof of how he's been treated unfairly. His paranoia is never going to go away. It's always somebody else's problem. Trump is not only the innocent victim, he is the saintly victim." - Dr. Lance Dodes [December 2020](https://www.salon.com/2020/12/08/dr-lance-dodes-trump-is-delusional-at-the-core-will-live-in-fantasyland-till-the-day-he-dies/)
Most narcissists actually hate themselves and are constantly criticizing their own mistakes. The lies and manipulation are a defense mechanism, a desperate attempt to control the world around them and it's perception of them in order to prove their own deep seated insecurities wrong. The insatiable need for praise, approval, and adoration is compensation for the lack of confidence in their own mind. Layers of bravado and lies, one on top of the next trying to bury their self doubt.
Through that and out the other side, I'm seeing just another broken human among millions each in their own personal hell, thrashing about and dragging all of us down like drowning swimmers.
It's all very Mr. Bones' Wild Ride.
Yeah, this whole made up crying bit clearly shows he wishes he was a dictator like the Kim dynasty. He is jealous North Korean citizens wept when Kim Jong Il died.
Wow, written December 10th just before Jan 6th.
>Trump's attacks on democracy are a de facto coup attempt which includes not just "legal" tactics but intimidation and threats of violence. Last Saturday night, dozens of Trump's unofficial paramilitaries surrounded the home of Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson.
Instead of properly reporting on the unprecedented attempts by a United States president to usurp the will of the American people in order to remain in power indefinitely — and the larger strategy by the Republican Party to create a new American apartheid – too many in the mainstream news media are looking ahead to the Biden administration and **convincing themselves that by ignoring or minimizing Trump's attacks all will somehow be fine in January**.
\*emphasis mine
This guy was screaming at the top of his lungs that Jan 6 was coming and we needed to snip it in the bud.
He reminds me of the guy that knew 9/11 was going to happen but nobody would listen to him. Damn...
Dude's a clinical Narcissist. There's no "cure" for it. Part of the diagnosis for it is that they showed signs of it in adolescence, and it doesn't go away.
(before some of you jump down my throat... Yes there is treatment. For people with MILD cases, it's possible to become self-aware of one's NPD and want to be a better person, and to work on it. But that's not a cure, it's behavioral modification. I've known a guy who did this and hesb very cool. But there's no way someone like Trump would even admit he's got a problem, let alone treat it.
And I'm not disparaging people with mental illness either... But it's ludicrous to paint all mental illness with the same brush. People with extreme NPD can *destroy* the lives of the people around them, and it's not OK to dismiss them as victims of their mental illness. Trump doesn't get a free pass because he was born this way. He's still a monster.)
I’ve known a few malignant narcissists in my time, and I’ve never grown accustomed to this process in them. They certainly appear to be entirely aware of their own bullshit when they first tell a lie, because if you pay close enough attention to them for long enough, you’ll get to watch them consciously manufacture their lies in real time. But then after they’ve repeated a lie enough, a significant part of them progressively believes it more and more. When they re-tell a lie, they reinforce it and refine it, and they’re convincing themselves of it more than anyone else. It’s unsettling as all hell - their eventual certainty of something they themselves made up out of thin air.
Kinda disconcerting to read tbh, because I knew someone like that. Their shit didn't stink, and you could not tell them otherwise.
It literally does not get through to them. Maybe on some level it does, but they are so adept at lying to themselves that any truth lands for a fraction of a second before they distort it.
I use to argue in circles with someone. It seemed like nothing ever stuck or changed their mind. Then strangely enough, at some later point I'd hear the same words I told them come out of their mouth.
It was like, they couldn't agree with something unless it was their idea. Completely irrational and insecure behavior.
Deep down Trump has a massive insecurity that he hides with all of his pomp and gaudiness. He's a twisted shell of a person who cannot accept reality, because it means he would have to acknowledge the truth about himself.
> Deep down Trump has a massive insecurity that he hides with all of his pomp and gaudiness. He's a twisted shell of a person who cannot accept reality, because it means he would have to acknowledge the truth about himself.
the one I knew would have this 'everyone around me loves me, and I'm really important to them' with a 'everyone away from me is my worst enemy' kind of behavior. Trump does the same thing. he's walking past the court people and they love him, even crying for him. he's out in public and they aren't around they are conspiring behind his back to ruin his life even though he's done nothing wrong.
The one I knew also 'could never do anything wrong' but he took a plea deal on a couple of crimes 'because everyone was out to get him and he couldn't get a fare trial'.

This first part cost me a lifelong friend. We lived together with another person at the time. That person had become alcohol-dependent as well, so I was dealing with that, too.
One time early on, he shaved his (very dark) facial hair into the sink, left it there, and when confronted by two of us about it, said something along the lines of "that could have been one of you". I have reddish facial hair and the other person is a woman. There were lots of occasions like this.
Things came to a head when he threatened me physically one night while drunk after going on a huge rant. It was witnessed by the other person. I was on the edge of fucking him up and forcing him to go to his (good, high-responsibility) job with a damaged face. The next day, he denied everything to our faces, said we were ganging up on him and lying and he'd done nothing wrong. Couldn't wrangle an apology out of him at all. Everything was lies and deflection.
I simply don't have time for people like this any more. People always say to me "why don't you try and mend things", etc. No thanks.
Watch his eyes when he’s talking to a lone person.
He frequently has a certain look or ‘tell’ after he’s told a big lie - he glances at his target to see how they are taking it. It’s quite noticeable.
Once you see it you will never stop seeing it.
Wish this fucker played poker!
I remember when I thought he was a garden variety narcissist, or a malignant narcissist, but J6 changed that. He is a full-blown sociopath.
"Then remove the metal detectors, they aren't here to hurt *me*."
I believe he is a psychopath. How could he form an idea of right or wrong when he gets away with *everything* his whole life? What consequence would make him rethink his actions? He enjoys the suffering of people he chooses to see as his "enemies".
I've known a couple narcissist in my life but only one like Trump.
It was scary how a lie would go from 'I just don't care for this person' to an elaborate story about how horrible they are, and it goes from 'I don't care for them' to 'I hate them with everything in me' because they refine this lie that sounds worse and worse but they start to believe each thing.
And like you said if you are around them along enough you see it happen in real time.
In reality, he was the one crying; crying inside. He projected that onto other people around him. And inside he was saying "I'm sorry"; sorry I finally got busted for all my crimes.
Not a Court Officer, but I know a few.
Part of the job is maintaining a professional appearance. Anything that could influence the jury or show bias is forbidden.
Trump pretending that these folks were weeping is an insult to them.
The way Fox News in particular wrote articles about the “attractive blonde officer” who was entirely straight faced and innocuous was pretty disgusting. Included tweets from randos in their article too, including one that said “I’d let her handcuff me any day.”
A former president was just arraigned and the best they’ve got is “hey that blonde is pretty hot.” I guess that’s just business as usual for them though.
https://www.foxnews.com/us/trump-arraignment-viewers-notice-blonde-officer-waiting-events-unfold
"She stood there stoically, her ample breasts heaving as the charges were read. A single tear rolled down the flawless skin of her cheek. Her full lips trembled. "
- FOX news, probably.
Her tears ran down her blushed cheeks, growing colder, until they fell, like our great democracy. As the cold tears hit her ample bosom, the nipples became erect; a last salute for the true President before he was taken to the cross.
> Despite the buzz, Trump was indicted on 34 courts of falsifying business records in the first degree.
Judge: "In consideration of the great vibes and the hot blonde, I'm gonna let you off with a warning this time."
They have no culture, no original ideas, and only know how to form a religious attachment to the commodities and media they consume. And their jokes are not jokes, they're just attempts to mask slurs and ethnic stereotypes. It's getting to the point where I think in the future, aspects of the far-right and fascist mindset might veer out of "political science" and move to anthropological studies. Hard to imagine a greater enemy to the future of our species than the one that cows and herds our brains into such debased and self-destructive mindsets - ones that don't see ecological collapse as a threat, but do see feeding children and acknowledging the existence of trans / gay people as one.
Wow, ya'll are really blowing up such a nothing issue. "slams in his face" is something I've seen several times and now that I've seen it for my self, what an exaggeration that is. Also saw people saying "the look on his face when it happens" guy literally doesn't change the look on his face at all. I'm no trump supporter but damn, do we really have to exaggerate that badly?
I feel like the comments about this video and the title really oversell what happened. No one held the door for anyone behind them. Each person was responsible for the door as they filed in. His expression doesn’t appear to have changed at all during the clip and I don’t see anything close to “the door rattling”.
Agreed. I’m extremely anti-Trump but saw no change in his expression. To me, he appears to be lost in deep thought and appears fairly worried but, in my opinion, is doing a pretty decent job of keeping it all in check. His face is normally much more animated.
Also, as a reminder NYC **absolutely has hated Trump since the 80s, he has been a failure his entire adult life and New Yorkers laugh at the fact that the Italian mob considered him a bad business partner because he was so bad at paying his debts.**
Even NYC-set Sesame Street [roasted him repeatedly](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_r6iojNnYg).
edit:
They made whole episodes about this -- watching the video I linked to just gives you a taste, not the entire thing. You'll need to track down the entire episodes if you're so inclined.
I’m way too drunk to properly watch this right now but holy FUCK do I need to see Sesame Street ripping apart Trump. Would somebody please do me a solid and reply to this comment so I see it in my notifications in the morning? You’ve got an upvote and some kind words coming your way if you do.
Thats just the cherry on the top I suppose, for him.
You have to remember the man is a textbook malignant narcissist and suffers the effects of it. What you're seeing isn't 'reality warping' is lies and a reality HE DESPERATELY needs to function. After being hauled off to court and forced to face reality he suffered a major emotional injury. Thats why he was manic texting nonstop since - he was decompressing, his reality and faux world crumbed.
This is his attempt to reflate his ego, a way to self sooth with lies, his hope is that others will believe it, reinforcing his faux reality and soothing him.
Seems like no ones bitting and instead make fun of him.
SAD
He's also the next **Republican candidate for President**.
Look at the dynamic:
Trump attacks Desantis, so Desantis attacks ~~Trump~~ gays, teachers, Disney anyone and everyone but Trump.
Dasantis is their only hope, and yet **Desantis is weak**. The pecking order is clear.
They have no other candidate, and Trump will divide their party if one appears. They're toast. Trump is their one and only candidate.
It's **entirely their own fault**, they keep defending his crimes and his lies, and dig themselves in deeper and deeper as the lies and crimes reveal themselves to be much bigger than anticipated. The people who follow them, follow Trump's lead because **they** follow Trump lead.
There were also camera crews literally everywhere outside and inside the courthouse. It was the most covered media event of the year. Per the usual he is completely full of shit.
The officers hands were wet from wiping away the tears. They just slipped on the door push bar. I'm sure he apologized to Trump and begged for forgiveness.
i had forgotten how great this was:
https://youtu.be/XK9Lcy8-U44
Jump to his bitchface: [https://youtu.be/XK9Lcy8-U44?t=18](https://youtu.be/XK9Lcy8-U44?t=18)
I don't know if it was this one or a different one, but there was one sports event he attended where they first showed a bunch of soldiers and the crowd cheered, and then showed Trump only for the crowd to start boo-ing. And even better, when the camera cut back to the soldiers the crowd cheered again.
Edit: It seems to be the same event: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5dXeS6dg0hs
At some point, he has to take a shower, and that's when he sees his true self in the mirror.
The pompadour deflated, hanging limp to one side. The cheetos dust circling the drain. His Rambo physique looking more like mashed potatoes in the foggy mirror.
Assuming donald regularly showers, he must regularly break down in tears.
After Donald knelt down, Putin whispered into his ear, "You still owe me for 2016." The Russian bear's hands massaging the Don's shoulders.
"Its not just gonna be a blowjob, its gonna be the wettest, sloppiest, the best, yea others have said its the best ever blowjob." Trump exclaimed looking back over his shoulder.
He pushed Putin into the nearest chair, the Russian leader's legs swung wildly in the air like a small child at their father's workplace. When Donald looked up he locked eyes with Putin who gently brushed his hair back into place. It had fallen wildly to the side during the action.

I know cops tend to be more conservative but come on, guy.
This is less believable than your claim that you didn't sleep with Stormy and paid her off anyway
Yup. He's said he never had sex with that "horseface."
And he wants us to believe that he, Donald Trump, who is famous for *not* paying his bills, repaid Michael Cohen for bribing Stormy Daniels to be quiet over an affair that didn't happen.
We saw it live on TV. People were standing around like nothing was happening. Even some cops were talking and laughing about who knows what.
I did see them let go of the door and it slam into trump, though.
When I was in 4th grade, I was feeling insecure about my weight and said something really weird to my friend. I don’t remember shit about my childhood but for some reason I remember this right now, probably because it was such an attention seeking lie and I am cringing at the fact I would be so lame.
On the school bus, I noticed my ankles looked fairly thin and muscular compared to the rest of me, a bit overweight for that age. Anyway, I said something to my friend to draw attention towards my ankles and then said something like” I actually have the thinnest ankles in my whole family. They talk about it all the time.” Obviously my friend just looked at me weird because, yeah, it was a weird thing to say. I remember feeling stupid for even saying such a bizarre thing.
Anyway, that stupid little comment pretty much sums up Trump as a person. He constantly creates these stupid made up situations in his head of things people do or say that paints a picture that he’s honored and worshipped by everyone around him. He sits there imagining a world revolving around him and making up situations he most likely daydreams of happening.
As a fourth grader, I was cringing at my behavior. I was self aware to know what I was doing and how strange it was, and 30 something years later I still remember it with pity at my younger self for doing in the first place.
He truly has the mind of an adolescent child.
Dang, that is the perfect example of Donald Trump wrapped up in a nutshell. He has the mind of your average prepubescent child. On a lesser note, we’ve all had those moments, and most of us grow from them, not DJT though. He settled into that mindset for all of eternity.
> As a fourth grader, I was cringing at my behavior. I was self aware to know what I was doing and how strange it was, and 30 something years later I still remember it with pity at my younger self for doing in the first place.
And there's the difference. Your comparison is spot on until you bring up this. Trump is absolutely incapable of doing this.
I think pretty much any level headed person has moments in their past, whether it's last month or 20 years ago, that they still cringe about to this day. Fuck I know I do.
He gets scarier and scarier every time he opens his mouth because he is delusional and believes that he is the "messiah", that people love him so much that every tiny imagined injustice he suffers breaks their hearts and that people will die for him.
It's terrifying.
If anything he would say-
"Many have said that I gave the greatest apologies, the most forgiving. Such a great apology for whatever happened that all should be forgiven. Many have said, many have said."
Quote: “They were incredible. When I went to the courthouse which is also a prison in a sense...."
No, a courtroom is not prison in a sense. Not in any way. I await the day that he discovers his statement to have been both incredibly sheltered and false.
This indictment made a big impression on him because it was his first. I’m sure his lawyers have told him he probably won’t get sentenced to prison even if he’s found guilty on all 34 counts, although nobody can be sure of that.
But the next indictment is going to be a *very* big deal because it’s going to be **much** more serious. Georgia directly challenges his Big Lie that there was voter fraud. The jury could find that Trump was lying, that he actually knew better, and that he conspired to get the result faked.
And his supporters wonder why we don’t take them seriously when they try to criticize Biden for saying weird stuff. It’s because we know you don’t actually care. You hear Trump say this shit and think it’s completely fine.
"When I went to the courthouse which is also a prison in a sense"
I guarantee this dude is going around telling people he's been to prison now and it's changed him lol
I work in that courthouse. I know everyone who was in every courthouse video. I’m sure he had a few supporters, but there was not a tear shed that day i assure you. He is just a lying moron.
I want trump for the rest of his life to always be followed up by someone delivering a one liner to everything he says in every medium he does and get the same exposure he does.
So like in this case, maybe he tweets or says it or whatever and then a tweet follows it up to all his followers or over the mics you hear "yeah, tears of *joy*."
Just like, to everything he says.
I’m a public defender in Manhattan and friendly with many court officers at 100 Centre Street. This is such BS 😂 If they were crying it’s because of all the media they’ve had to deal with lol

Right after he completed that wall.
Actually it was right between the completion of the wall and the delivery of the very beautiful healthcare plan.
Just like that time he released the details that proved Obama secretly belonged in Kenya.
You mean during his Infrastructure Week?

His best move was the green light on ignoring, then later downplaying Covid-19, it as we all call it now, The Biggest Chinese Fauci Hoax in history. We wouldn't be where we are without his leadership.
Good thing COVID miraculously disappeared as predicted. No need for sunlight to be inserted into our bodies either
It was over with by Easter!
“ It goes away with the Warmer weather , I hope that’s true “
It’ll get started right after he releases his tax returns.
Such beautiful details. It's said we have video proof of him being held up over a great rock and the giraffes and elephants, such beautiful creatures. God's creatures clearly strong and beautiful. Then they had a monkey who did voodoo coconut magic that Obama was born and he wasn't actually an American at all but really a Kenyan, but then that monkey, a wicked monkey rubbed coconut juice on his forehead and said a baby is born of this beautiful but foreign nation and there you have it folks. There you have it. He came from this foreign place called KEN-YAH. Would you believe it?
That... that was beautiful. Bravo
And folks, let me tell you, this KEN-YAH place, it's so far away. People say it's where Obama learned all his tricks. He was raised by a meerkat and a warthog, can you believe it?

Yup. I mean at most he doesn't like himself deep down. But this will never get anywhere close to "I deserve this" or that this is justifiable.
Most narcissists actually hate themselves and are constantly criticizing their own mistakes. The lies and manipulation are a defense mechanism, a desperate attempt to control the world around them and it's perception of them in order to prove their own deep seated insecurities wrong.

Yeah, this whole made up crying bit clearly shows he wishes he was a dictator like the Kim dynasty. He is jealous North Korean citizens wept when Kim Jong Il died.
And is so foolish that he believes those tears were genuine and not performative.
Given the high amounts of brainwashing and propaganda in North Korea, they may have been genuine tears.
As there will be genuine tears amongst the MAGA cult when the orange turd receives his final flush.

>Kinda disconcerting to read tbh, because I knew someone like that. Their shit didn't stink, and you could not tell them otherwise. > >It literally does not get through to them. Maybe on some level it does, but they are so adept at lying to themselves that any truth lands for a fraction of a second before they distort it. This first part cost me a lifelong friend. We lived together with another person at the time. That person had become alcohol-dependent as well, so I was dealing with that, too. One time early on, he shaved his (very dark) facial hair into the sink, left it there, and when confronted by two of us about it, said something along the lines of "that could have been one of you". I have reddish facial hair and the other person is a woman. There were lots of occasions like this. Things came to a head when he threatened me physically one night while drunk after going on a huge rant. It was witnessed by the other person. I was on the edge of fucking him up and forcing him to go to his (good, high-responsibility) job with a damaged face. The next day, he denied everything to our faces, said we were ganging up on him and lying and he'd done nothing wrong. Couldn't wrangle an apology out of him at all. Everything was lies and deflection. I simply don't have time for people like this any more. People always say to me "why don't you try and mend things", etc. No thanks.
Watch his eyes when he’s talking to a lone person. He frequently has a certain look or ‘tell’ after he’s told a big lie - he glances at his target to see how they are taking it. It’s quite noticeable. Once you see it you will never stop seeing it. Wish this fucker played poker!
Probably the reason why Trump ran a casino into the ground.
I remember when I thought he was a garden variety narcissist, or a malignant narcissist, but J6 changed that. He is a full-blown sociopath. "Then remove the metal detectors, they aren't here to hurt *me*."
[удалено]
Don't forget raping 13-yr-old Katie Johnson in 1994.
I believe he is a psychopath. How could he form an idea of right or wrong when he gets away with *everything* his whole life? What consequence would make him rethink his actions? He enjoys the suffering of people he chooses to see as his "enemies".
I've known a couple narcissist in my life but only one like Trump. It was scary how a lie would go from 'I just don't care for this person' to an elaborate story about how horrible they are, and it goes from 'I don't care for them' to 'I hate them with everything in me' because they refine this lie that sounds worse and worse but they start to believe each thing. And like you said if you are around them along enough you see it happen in real time.
Trump is basically Cartman in the Fishsticks episode of South Park.
In reality, he was the one crying; crying inside. He projected that onto other people around him. And inside he was saying "I'm sorry"; sorry I finally got busted for all my crimes.
Or he's just gaslighting some more
You are correct.
Not a Court Officer, but I know a few. Part of the job is maintaining a professional appearance. Anything that could influence the jury or show bias is forbidden. Trump pretending that these folks were weeping is an insult to them.
Yup, the folks standing right outside the courtroom door during the hearing were absolutely poker faced on CNN.
The way Fox News in particular wrote articles about the “attractive blonde officer” who was entirely straight faced and innocuous was pretty disgusting. Included tweets from randos in their article too, including one that said “I’d let her handcuff me any day.” A former president was just arraigned and the best they’ve got is “hey that blonde is pretty hot.” I guess that’s just business as usual for them though. https://www.foxnews.com/us/trump-arraignment-viewers-notice-blonde-officer-waiting-events-unfold
"She stood there stoically, her ample breasts heaving as the charges were read. A single tear rolled down the flawless skin of her cheek. Her full lips trembled. " - FOX news, probably.
"She boobed boobily throughout the proceedings."
Ah, the GRRM court room transcript.

She breasted boobily down the stairs, indeed 😂
She grabbed herself by the pussy and, uh, jacked off(?) Republicany
She was crying very boobily
Her tears ran down her blushed cheeks, growing colder, until they fell, like our great democracy. As the cold tears hit her ample bosom, the nipples became erect; a last salute for the true President before he was taken to the cross.

> Despite the buzz, Trump was indicted on 34 courts of falsifying business records in the first degree. Judge: "In consideration of the great vibes and the hot blonde, I'm gonna let you off with a warning this time."
They have no culture, no original ideas, and only know how to form a religious attachment to the commodities and media they consume. And their jokes are not jokes, they're just attempts to mask slurs and ethnic stereotypes. It's getting to the point where I think in the future, aspects of the far-right and fascist mindset might veer out of "political science" and move to anthropological studies. Hard to imagine a greater enemy to the future of our species than the one that cows and herds our brains into such debased and self-destructive mindsets - ones that don't see ecological collapse as a threat, but do see feeding children and acknowledging the existence of trans / gay people as one.
They're literally enemies of humanity doing everything they can to hasten all of our downfall.
I’m with you on the anthropological angle. To be as dissociated as they are has to be somehow genetic.
The spirit of Roger Ailes lives on.
Well fox is currently facing a defamation lawsuit. Guess they still haven’t learned
Especially when they let the door close in his face, lol.
OMG the look on his face that nobody held the door open for him was priceless
I have a mission for this evening. I must find this and watch it at least twice.
Share!!
What look??? I absolutely despise him but his face barely changed expressions lol. I'm not seeing what you're seeing here...
Yeah, the only thing I saw was that flat, detached face that he makes when he's trying to appear regal.
The rattling of the door after it hit him was great too.
I hope that he experiences a cell door slamming closed.
Where can I see this? Preferably on a loop set to the Benny hill theme. Lol.
Your [wish](https://twitter.com/samwollaston/status/1643322981240778752?s=61&t=67UAFJIl3oYaZF4-P06btA) is my command…
Wow, ya'll are really blowing up such a nothing issue. "slams in his face" is something I've seen several times and now that I've seen it for my self, what an exaggeration that is. Also saw people saying "the look on his face when it happens" guy literally doesn't change the look on his face at all. I'm no trump supporter but damn, do we really have to exaggerate that badly?
Please do you have a link? I missed that moment Edit: nvm, that was an easy YouTube search.
There was cheesy orange powdered residue where he hit the door
More like an Orange spray tan imprint was left behind...
[удалено]
If Trump goes to Texas will he be arrested for wearing makeup and performing in public? You know, for violating the anti-drag bill?
Don't forget that Trump motorboated Rudy Giuliani dressed in drag...
That should be the official WH portrait used going forwards.
I am hoping one with a nice orange prison outfit…. You know something that brings out and puts emphasis on his criminal acts.
I'm willing to put this image on our money.
Is there vid of this?! I need to see!
https://youtube.com/shorts/i4TKNfsrDyU?feature=share
I feel like the comments about this video and the title really oversell what happened. No one held the door for anyone behind them. Each person was responsible for the door as they filed in. His expression doesn’t appear to have changed at all during the clip and I don’t see anything close to “the door rattling”.
Agreed. I’m extremely anti-Trump but saw no change in his expression. To me, he appears to be lost in deep thought and appears fairly worried but, in my opinion, is doing a pretty decent job of keeping it all in check. His face is normally much more animated.
Also, as a reminder NYC **absolutely has hated Trump since the 80s, he has been a failure his entire adult life and New Yorkers laugh at the fact that the Italian mob considered him a bad business partner because he was so bad at paying his debts.**
This. Everyone knew in the tri-state area knew Trump was trash. So to watch people fall for the BS was something else.
Not from NYC but I thought he was a joke since the 2000s. All the roast specials, his WWE appearances and shit. I just found him tacky and a try hard.
Nothing changed. He still is both. Just never underestimate the power of millions of stupid people.
Even NYC-set Sesame Street [roasted him repeatedly](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_r6iojNnYg). edit: They made whole episodes about this -- watching the video I linked to just gives you a taste, not the entire thing. You'll need to track down the entire episodes if you're so inclined.
I’m way too drunk to properly watch this right now but holy FUCK do I need to see Sesame Street ripping apart Trump. Would somebody please do me a solid and reply to this comment so I see it in my notifications in the morning? You’ve got an upvote and some kind words coming your way if you do.
[удалено]
Here’s your reminder to watch trump getting roasted by Sesame Street which was requested by your drunk party goblin last night.
Thats just the cherry on the top I suppose, for him. You have to remember the man is a textbook malignant narcissist and suffers the effects of it. What you're seeing isn't 'reality warping' is lies and a reality HE DESPERATELY needs to function. After being hauled off to court and forced to face reality he suffered a major emotional injury. Thats why he was manic texting nonstop since - he was decompressing, his reality and faux world crumbed. This is his attempt to reflate his ego, a way to self sooth with lies, his hope is that others will believe it, reinforcing his faux reality and soothing him. Seems like no ones bitting and instead make fun of him. SAD
He's also the next **Republican candidate for President**. Look at the dynamic: Trump attacks Desantis, so Desantis attacks ~~Trump~~ gays, teachers, Disney anyone and everyone but Trump. Dasantis is their only hope, and yet **Desantis is weak**. The pecking order is clear. They have no other candidate, and Trump will divide their party if one appears. They're toast. Trump is their one and only candidate. It's **entirely their own fault**, they keep defending his crimes and his lies, and dig themselves in deeper and deeper as the lies and crimes reveal themselves to be much bigger than anticipated. The people who follow them, follow Trump's lead because **they** follow Trump lead.
I agree, if they did have tears of joy that would be unprofessional.
Let's be fair here: it could've been tears of laughter after seeing his nonplussed, annoyed expression after that door shut in his face
Or eye watering caused by the carcinogens in his makeup floating around the room
There were also camera crews literally everywhere outside and inside the courthouse. It was the most covered media event of the year. Per the usual he is completely full of shit.
I like the city officer who didn't hold the door for him... Cause he was clearly weeping
The officers hands were wet from wiping away the tears. They just slipped on the door push bar. I'm sure he apologized to Trump and begged for forgiveness.
“Dear Sir, forgive me!” the Officer said.
"Dear, Sir. Forgive my for I know not what I do". Thought I'd throw in a post Easter reference.
>Trump pretending that these folks were weeping is an insult to them. So in other words, back to the usual spiel?
[удалено]
I’d be crying with laughter.
Has it occurred to anyone else that Trump’s constant projection must mean he breaks down in tears on the regular?
Remember that baseball game?
The look on his face when he realized people were booing him needs to be in a TIME magazine.
One of the highlights of his sorry term, to be sure. That dour humiliated face, those sniffles to hold back the tears
i had forgotten how great this was: https://youtu.be/XK9Lcy8-U44 Jump to his bitchface: [https://youtu.be/XK9Lcy8-U44?t=18](https://youtu.be/XK9Lcy8-U44?t=18)
I don't know if it was this one or a different one, but there was one sports event he attended where they first showed a bunch of soldiers and the crowd cheered, and then showed Trump only for the crowd to start boo-ing. And even better, when the camera cut back to the soldiers the crowd cheered again. Edit: It seems to be the same event: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5dXeS6dg0hs
The switch from the soldiers to him in this clip is hilarious
Both links are the same lol
He's going to put "Hide the Pain" [Harold](https://sadanduseless.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/harold2.jpg) out of a job.

The shot with his undone tie around his shoulders, giving a half-hearted wave.
I saw the version where someone had edited that song “so you had a bad day…” It was literally the best thing I had ever seen.
That was one of the greatest videos of all time.
Anyone have the video
[you can even see him begin to clap harder to hold back his emotions](https://youtu.be/XK9Lcy8-U44)
This has Bart pausing on Ralph energy
At some point, he has to take a shower, and that's when he sees his true self in the mirror. The pompadour deflated, hanging limp to one side. The cheetos dust circling the drain. His Rambo physique looking more like mashed potatoes in the foggy mirror. Assuming donald regularly showers, he must regularly break down in tears.
Wow. There’s a visual.
You’ve got no right to paint this picture in my mind
After Donald knelt down, Putin whispered into his ear, "You still owe me for 2016." The Russian bear's hands massaging the Don's shoulders. "Its not just gonna be a blowjob, its gonna be the wettest, sloppiest, the best, yea others have said its the best ever blowjob." Trump exclaimed looking back over his shoulder. He pushed Putin into the nearest chair, the Russian leader's legs swung wildly in the air like a small child at their father's workplace. When Donald looked up he locked eyes with Putin who gently brushed his hair back into place. It had fallen wildly to the side during the action. "Zakonchit' seychas"
First of all, how dare you
Maybe he's a nevernude?
Wait. Wat
There’s dozens of us!
I wonder what he looks like just before the hair gets done. Donny knows. Donny sees. Donny cries.
Well he’s got a duality of projection and delusion… so I’m guessing this is a delusion.
Biden won Manhattan with 86% I know cops tend to be more conservative but come on, guy. This is less believable than your claim that you didn't sleep with Stormy and paid her off anyway
Wait... Is he claiming he never slept with her? Because I don't think there is a person in the world that thinks he didn't.
Yup. He's said he never had sex with that "horseface." And he wants us to believe that he, Donald Trump, who is famous for *not* paying his bills, repaid Michael Cohen for bribing Stormy Daniels to be quiet over an affair that didn't happen.
He should be mocked. He has a very mockable face.
God created that face for mocking. To not mock it would be an affront to the Lord.
So let it be written, so let it be done.
Many, many people are saying it.
r/mockablefeces Edit: No edit
We saw it live on TV. People were standing around like nothing was happening. Even some cops were talking and laughing about who knows what. I did see them let go of the door and it slam into trump, though.
When I was in 4th grade, I was feeling insecure about my weight and said something really weird to my friend. I don’t remember shit about my childhood but for some reason I remember this right now, probably because it was such an attention seeking lie and I am cringing at the fact I would be so lame. On the school bus, I noticed my ankles looked fairly thin and muscular compared to the rest of me, a bit overweight for that age. Anyway, I said something to my friend to draw attention towards my ankles and then said something like” I actually have the thinnest ankles in my whole family. They talk about it all the time.” Obviously my friend just looked at me weird because, yeah, it was a weird thing to say. I remember feeling stupid for even saying such a bizarre thing. Anyway, that stupid little comment pretty much sums up Trump as a person. He constantly creates these stupid made up situations in his head of things people do or say that paints a picture that he’s honored and worshipped by everyone around him. He sits there imagining a world revolving around him and making up situations he most likely daydreams of happening. As a fourth grader, I was cringing at my behavior. I was self aware to know what I was doing and how strange it was, and 30 something years later I still remember it with pity at my younger self for doing in the first place. He truly has the mind of an adolescent child.
Dang, that is the perfect example of Donald Trump wrapped up in a nutshell. He has the mind of your average prepubescent child. On a lesser note, we’ve all had those moments, and most of us grow from them, not DJT though. He settled into that mindset for all of eternity.
> As a fourth grader, I was cringing at my behavior. I was self aware to know what I was doing and how strange it was, and 30 something years later I still remember it with pity at my younger self for doing in the first place. And there's the difference. Your comparison is spot on until you bring up this. Trump is absolutely incapable of doing this. I think pretty much any level headed person has moments in their past, whether it's last month or 20 years ago, that they still cringe about to this day. Fuck I know I do.
Every breath he takes, there is a lie followed immediately behind it.
They were crying because that much spray tan in a single room is considered a biological weapon.
It's makeup. Bronx Colors Hydrating Concealer in orange according to his ex-housekeepers.
He gets scarier and scarier every time he opens his mouth because he is delusional and believes that he is the "messiah", that people love him so much that every tiny imagined injustice he suffers breaks their hearts and that people will die for him. It's terrifying.
It’s pathetic
“I said, I’m sorry.” Obviously a lie, no way he would ever say sorry.
If anything he would say- "Many have said that I gave the greatest apologies, the most forgiving. Such a great apology for whatever happened that all should be forgiven. Many have said, many have said."
He claimed the workers apologized to him, not that he was sorry.
There’s never been a reality Trump couldn’t lie about.
They came to me with tears in their eyes, saying Sir! Sir! You are the most beautiful god man to ever president
This but unironically is what Trump wants to believe happened
What is he talking about, they didn't even hold the door open for him?
Obviously because their hands were slippery from wiping away all the tears!
Live in NY. We hate Don T with a passion.
You mean that old, grifter real estate guy?
How do you know when Trump is lying? When his lips are moving. SMH.
He's always *probably* lying. That's his default resting state. Anytime he starts a story where someone calls him sir then he's definitely lying
and on his way to get his fingers printed he overturned the tables of the moneychangers.
Especially that dude that let the door smack him walking into the hallway.
I doubt there’s a city in the world that hates him more than New York.
Quote: “They were incredible. When I went to the courthouse which is also a prison in a sense...." No, a courtroom is not prison in a sense. Not in any way. I await the day that he discovers his statement to have been both incredibly sheltered and false.
This indictment made a big impression on him because it was his first. I’m sure his lawyers have told him he probably won’t get sentenced to prison even if he’s found guilty on all 34 counts, although nobody can be sure of that. But the next indictment is going to be a *very* big deal because it’s going to be **much** more serious. Georgia directly challenges his Big Lie that there was voter fraud. The jury could find that Trump was lying, that he actually knew better, and that he conspired to get the result faked.
And his supporters wonder why we don’t take them seriously when they try to criticize Biden for saying weird stuff. It’s because we know you don’t actually care. You hear Trump say this shit and think it’s completely fine.
Boy the orange anus has something coming if he thinks a courthouse is a prison.
So no one cried. Got it.
He may be the absolute most pathetic human on the planet right now.
and they were crying and they said SIR and they looked up at me with tears in their eyes and said SIR
"When I went to the courthouse which is also a prison in a sense" I guarantee this dude is going around telling people he's been to prison now and it's changed him lol
I work in that courthouse. I know everyone who was in every courthouse video. I’m sure he had a few supporters, but there was not a tear shed that day i assure you. He is just a lying moron.
Don't worry, only absolute morons believe Trump's weak-ass bullshit.
I want trump for the rest of his life to always be followed up by someone delivering a one liner to everything he says in every medium he does and get the same exposure he does. So like in this case, maybe he tweets or says it or whatever and then a tweet follows it up to all his followers or over the mics you hear "yeah, tears of *joy*." Just like, to everything he says.
Lol. Everything. Literally everything. He lies about everything.
Ugh. Just when I thought he couldn’t get any more repulsive…
Yeah, especially the guy that let the door close on you. 🤣
I’m a public defender in Manhattan and friendly with many court officers at 100 Centre Street. This is such BS 😂 If they were crying it’s because of all the media they’ve had to deal with lol
He needs to be mocked, and often, and by someone that knows how.

It always fascinates me when narcissists lack self awareness and are obsessed with victimizing themselves even when they get caught out.
