Trump Dodges Springfield Bomb Threat Question After Spreading Racist Lie: 'IDK' About It

2 years ago by ZeroCool to c/politics

The former president claimed he hadn't a clue "what happened" in the Ohio community rocked by the threats.

He seems to know everything about what is happening there with the migrant community and pets, but he can care less about what is happening to the citizens of Springfield.

Right? For someone who doesn't know about things and has never heard of people, he sure does never shut up about them.

... you know that didn't even occur to me, but it's just dumb enough it might be true. Then again, that's probably giving Trump more credit than he deserves, he just regurgitates whatever stupid bullshit is making the rounds on the alt-right portions of Facebook/Twitter that week.

I was thinking the same thing. Vance keeps talking about how much he loves all the cat memes. He might also be relieved from the couch memes..

Time to double down, boys.

HIV stands for "Hello, I'm Vance".

Yes, you can catch hiv from fucking couches.

It’s never his fault. After all he famously said it out loud - he takes no responsibility at all.

Reminder that he is a malignant narcissist, and is biologically incapable of accepting blame, responsibility or personal faults. As per the Narcissist's Prayer:

That didn't happen.

And if it did, it wasn't that bad.

And if it was, that's not a big deal.

And if it is, that's not my fault.

And if it was, I didn't mean it.

And if I did, you deserved it.

Out of curiosity, does anyone have a valid report of an instance of Trump ever uttering the words, "I'm Sorry?" I just wonder if this is a pathological thing for him and Fred instilled in him the idea that to apologize for anything at any time, no matter how wrong you are is to show weakness.

Had to look this one up, Trump did issue an apology about grabbing women by the pussy, but it was probably not sincere, and only done to better himself than actually have remorse for his actions.

That looks like a calculated non-apology. An actual apology probably doesn't exist. He said "I'm sorry if anyone was offended". He placed the blame on the reaction that others had to his abhorrent statements, not on his actions themselves. He didn't seem to care that he was in the wrong, only that the reaction from the people was politically inconvenient for him.

Which is an extremely important distinction. "I'm sorry you were offended" is not a true apology, and everyone should be aware of this whether regarding Trump or other bullies you may encounter in your life.

Right, I think that this is really the only thing that comes close to an apology speaks for itself and the type of person Trump is. Every success is because of him and every failure is because of someone else.

Yes but no. It was Roy Cohn who taught him to never acknowledge he lost or was wrong.

No. Narcissism does not alter for that because it feels weak. The narcissist needs continuous praise and to be infallible.

He is 100% a shit bag.

And I also believe that when the reporter asked if he denounced the bomb threats, Trump didn’t know what “denounce” means.
