He is easily manipulated bc he has the mind of a toddler. An obese, deranged, and excessively gassy toddler.

Don’t forget “terribly susceptable to flattery” and “terrified of appearing weak”
And it isn’t just his financial backers who know where all his weaknesses and buttons are, world leaders know as well.
Everyone saw how Kamala effortlessly led him around on a string for the entire debate, you think he’d do any better against Putin or Xi Jinping?

He literally advertised beans on the resolute desk. So, yeah.

This has been obvious about Trump since he won the presidency in 2016. Give Trump a bribe and butter him up with a little flattery, and he will become your trained monkey.

He is easy to manipulate online – just watch how he reacts to garbage on the internet.

I think Harris demonstrated how easily Trump is baited.
What concerns me more (provided Harris wins), is how may other leaders follow this example. Take MLB from Saudi Arabia. He definitely values the transactional over the committal. He repeatedly screwed over Biden OPEC negotiations because he valued short term profit. Similarly, he decided killings a journalist wouldn’t cost him over the long term.
Long term, the US needs to completely decouple itself from the Middle East Energy Market (While the US has become energy “independent” under Biden, our energy costs are still very much dependent on the global prices of energy, and thus oil.
Outside of the middle east though, this is broadly where transactional economics gets us – it’s not “how can we help each other?” But rather “What can I get away with while still getting a few extra bucks?”

Not to mention a narcissist with a huge ego. The fact that the man is willing to openly hang out with known Nazis because they praise him is something.

Everything is nakedly for sale either to feed his avarice or his narcissism. Compliment him and help him make money, and anybody becomes important.

Mark Cuban has a take on why former President Donald Trump has some big backers out in Silicon Valley — and it has a lot to do with Trump’s character, he said.
The billionaire investor and “Shark Tank” star discussed Trump’s politics in an [interview](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QqDPrv8oFyY) with YouTuber Brian Tyler Cohen earlier this week, telling the progressive commentator that Trump is “the antithesis” of someone with good character.
“I think they believe they can manipulate him. I think they understand that he’s so transactional and so devoid of core values that anything that they want they can manipulate him to get,” Cuban said of Silicon Valley backers of Trump.
During his interview with Cohen, Cuban added that he thinks Trump is “the “most unethical” and “dishonest” person he’s ever worked with or done business with. It’s unclear what business Cuban is referring to.

Two possibilities:
1. Trump is too stupid to know that a tariff is a tax on the American public. In fact, this is the most regressive tax of all. It is just like a national consumer tax as it would hit everyone, including the poorest in the country.
2. Trump is smart enough to know that calling a tax a tariff would let him gets away with it. He can then take the money that he stole from the poorest in the country to pass a tax cut for the rich.
I’d say it’s 2. And, it’s a Republican ploy all along to transfer national wealth from the poor to the rich. This must be stopped.
Go vote in November and vote straight Blue to wipe out Trump and his MAGA Republican Party.

He is a man of shallow character and no moral.
So easily manipulated…just tell him how great he is.

This is my main take away hearing everything about Trump. He’s not immoral. He is amoral. He does not have a set of morals or anti morals. He’s just in it for power and feels. He as a dem for decades for Christs sake. Once you understand that, you understand how he can then be manipulated because he has no integrity or moral backstop. Whatever convinces him is where he’s at. And it doesn’t take much.

Same way that actual authoritarian treat him. He’s easy af to manipulate. Look at the debate, she threw him off so bad.

gdex86 on
I mean the truth of it is Trump isn’t actually rich. He has a lot of assets but it’s mostly a house of cards mortgaged to the hilt where if anyone calls on their debt the whole thing falls apart.
His only real power is that unless placated he has the power to kill the republican party and if he loses two presidential elections in a row I find it hard for rank and file Republicans to continue to back him especially when his choices in elections have been as bad as Robinson.

He has no relationship that isn’t transactional. The guy lives his life with the desire of getting something out of every exchange. If he gets nothing than he is basically losing in his mind and its not worth his time.

No, Mark. It’s because he’s a driveling moron.

Spot on Mark.
izwald88 on
It’s not just that he’s transactional, he’s very easy to persuade. Whatever he’s all about on any given day is entirely due to who he last talked to.
Remember when he talked to Obama during the transition and suddenly acted “nice” for all of the rest of the day until someone else reminded him to be MAGA?

Yet, in the end, Trump will be able to use the powers granted him under the Supreme Court decision Trump v US, and be able to seize the assets of any billionaires he wants to, and/or execute, or in prison them, as long as it’s a “core official act“.
This is exactly what Russia and China do to their billionaires who step out of line with the powers of dictatorship.
