  • Trump is vowing not to be "nice" after his near-fatal shooting at his Pennsylvania rally.
  • He initially softened his tone, calling for unity in a speech at the Republican National Convention.
  • But he quickly resumed attacks on President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.

Imagine what an asshole you have to be to be nearly assassinated and shrug off all sympathy toward it within a week. Cool dude. I don’t really care, do u?

I'm thinking that, as a narcissist, Trump simply can't imagine how close to death he was, it's not real or possible to his mind that he was literally within and inch of his life.

A normal person might reevalute or gain a new perspective on their mortality and how they've spent their limited time on this earth. But if your brain is hardwired to believe you're at the center of the universe, nothing can shake that belief.

There was a post a few hours after the shooting of how Trump, someone who posts about anything and everything, had nothing to say on Truth social. He was quiet for almost two or three days.

He was shook.

He couldn't believe that someone hated him enough to end his life. He's that much of a narcissist.

CouchFucker Vance is the end of Trump, though.
Huuuuge mistake with that pick.

No, not asshole. Demented malignant narcissist.

He's seriously suffering from degraded mental capacity, possibly exacerbated by stimulant abuse, and is a lifelong narcissist who has exhibited more than a few sociopathic tendencies. We also know he's an asshole.

RepubliQans, you're really going all out. I'm sure you're so proud.
