When you realise that things like shame or hypocrisy are weapons used by Republicans to exert power rather than things they actually feel, it makes a lot more sense.
They're not stupid. They know they'd drag a Democrat over the coals for saying or doing even a fraction of this, but Trump is on their team so they'll just ignore it.

I had a boss/owner of a company who had this attitude. His "secret to success" was breaking the rules and not doing what he said. I told him what's to stop the other side from doing the same thing his response "they can't! They have to do what they said" and I asked what happens when they find out he isn't holding up his side of the deal. No answer.
Spoiler alert: once the other side found out, they did the same thing back. Company is out of business now

They know what they are doing is wrong. That’s the point.
Ppl keep acting like MAGA got tricked. It’s yes and no. Yes, Trump and billionaires tricked them to an extent. But Trump and billionaires also gave them what they wanted too.
It’s like a monkey’s paw. They got to “own the libs” and mistreat minorities as promised. They also got bootyblasted in the process, but that’s besides the point. The point is conservatives are bad people — whether deceived by other bad people or not.

Conservative is never what they were. The GOP has always been regressive. True conservatism would be trying to slow the pace of progress so as not to break our systems while we move forward. Instead, they have always been regressive trying to pull back “overall” progress because they perceive that as them losing if someone else is doing better.

These are insane people.
This is the same Pete Hoekstra who is a contributor to Project 2025.
And the current Ambassador to Canada.
And a ton of other shady things going back to 1992 when he was first elected to the House:
- Term-Limit Pledge: He completely went back on his 1992 campaign promise to only serve six terms in the House and ran for a seventh term anyway.
- Iraq WMD Claims: He falsely claimed that 500 chemical weapons were found in Iraq, but they turned out to be defunct munitions from before the 1991 Gulf War.
- Nuclear Primer Leak: He pushed for a government archive website that had to be shut down after it accidently exposed detailed information on how to build nuclear weapons.
- Iran Nuclear Report: The IAEA openly called out his congressional intelligence committee for fabricating "erroneous" and "misleading" reports about Iran's nuclear capabilities.
- Racist Super Bowl Ad: During his 2012 Senate run, he faced massive backlash for airing a highly offensive Super Bowl ad that used a Chinese-American actress speaking in broken English to mock his opponent,.
- "Yellowgirl" Code Typo: His campaign website for the ad got dragged even further when people discovered the actress was literally labeled as "yellowgirl" in the site's HTML source code.
- "Fake News" Gaslighting: As Ambassador to the Netherlands, he lied to a Dutch reporter by calling his own recorded 2015 comments about Netherlands "no-go zones" "fake news," only to be forced to apologize later,,.
- Embassy Far-Right Fundraiser: He caused a diplomatic incident by hosting a fundraising party at the U.S. Embassy for a far-right Dutch political party in violation of international law.
- Annexing Canada: As Ambassador to Canada, he infuriated locals by dismissing Canadian sovereignty and saying Donald Trump's jokes about making Canada the 51st state should be taken as a "term of endearment".
- Halifax Chamber Rant: He insulted a Canadian business audience by accusing the entire country of running an "anti-American" trade campaign.
- Border Preclearance Threat: He subtly threatened Canada by suggesting that Washington might cancel the 70-year-old airport preclearance program because of declining Canadian tourism numbers.
- Expletive Gala Meltdown: He had an absolute expletive-laced tirade at a formal Ottawa gala, screaming "f--k" at Ontario’s trade rep over a TV commercial that criticized American tariffs,.
- Meddling Accusations: He turned around and accused the Canadian government of illegally meddling in American electoral politics just because Ontario bought ad space on U.S. television.
Expulsion Petition: His undiplomatic behavior in Canada got so bad that a formal petition to kick him out of the country gathered over 243,000 signatures,.

I can't believe I have to coopt an edited comment here but:

That base believes that gas prices, food prices, the war, everything is going to stop tomorrow and would stop sooner if we just let poor ol' Donny do what he wants and stop hassling him about everything.

"I don't know what's wrong"
You're an 80 year old who behaves like a 13 year old internet edge lord completely consumed by your own narcissism. You were born on 3rd, think you invented the game and have failed upwards your entire life. You don't have any interest in learning how anything works and think the world should just be wowed by your presence. You refuse to admit that anything even could go wrong under your watch, much less admit that it actually has. You spend your day obsessed with putting your name on everything you can see because you don't know how to function without praise, even if it's fake or stolen. You don't understand friendship or relationships and think loyalty is something owed you and not earned. You've spent your entire adult life grifting from anything you could put your hands on, and now the United States and the world. You're an emotionally stunted bully who has never been told no.
Other than that, it's hard to pinpoint.

lOL, the nerve of the press to actually ask questions that matter to the people.
NO paywall: https://www.yahoo.com/news/politics/articles/trump-explodes-reporter-haven-t-144725977.html
"Donald Trump has had it with the free press. He’s spent his second term trying to ban news outlets from the White House and ranting on social media about unfair coverage, and he’s only growing more hostile as his poll numbers tank ahead of the midterm elections. The president lost it on a Time reporter this week during an interview in the Oval Office."
“You haven’t asked me one fucking positive question,” he said. “All of this. What about this? What about that? What about that? What about this? All negative.”
"The president had been asked about whether Mitch McConnell should resign from the Senate because of his health issues. Trump responded by indicating that videos of McConnell struggling were a “disappointment to a lot of Republicans,” before noting that “Sleepy Joe gave pardons to everybody.”
" He then exploded at the reporter, questioning why they were asking about the White House renovations so much, and griping that they hadn’t asked him about Venezuela. The reporter pointed out that they talked about Venezuela at length earlier in the interview."
"The rest of the interview portrayed a frustrated president cocooning himself in an alternate reality as the nation turns on him."
"When asked to explain to people who are struggling to pay bills why it is so important for him to spend so much time and energy renovating the White House, Trump waxed about how the White House is “a symbol of our greatness” and claimed, falsely, that the renovations are coming at no expense to the American taxpayer. “For me, it’s relaxing,” he said of the renovation process. Trump did not address the cost of living crisis in his answer."
"Trump offered a novel approach to world peace when discussing foreign policy: “Because by annihilating Iran, we’ve created peace in the world,” he said, threatening once again to obliterate the nation of 90 million from existence."
"He also claimed that Israel and Saudi Arabia would both be “wiped off the face of the planet” if he weren’t the president"
" When asked about his initial stance that the Iran war would be over in a matter of weeks, Trump blamed the press for that timeline, and said the Iran war isn’t so bad when compared to the decades the United States was entangled in Vietnam."
"Trump did, of course, say the war would be over quickly after he started it. “We projected four to five weeks,” he said earlier this year."

I think he genuinely thought it would be easy. He got into Wharton because of nepotism and only passed because of nepotism. He received millions from his father and spent more of his family fortune than he ever contributed.
This might honestly be the first time hes had something that isnt easy and hes not understanding why people are being so “mean to him” about it. 😂

Obviously this is nothing new, but I don't think it's a good sign that you can write down the words of our president verbatim and it sounds like a slow 8th grader

lol… Mr. President, why are you so smart, strong, brave, and handsome?
What a child. The fact that republicans are fine with this lets me know they don’t take our country seriously, they are not patriots, and if you truly are a patriot you would never again support these anti-American clowns.

“You haven’t asked me one fucking positive question,” he said. “All of this. What about this? What about that? What about that? What about this? All negative.”
He can't even mention his own accomplishments. What a pathetic piece of shit.

It’s called “accountability”. He wants to only focus on positives, maybe he should start doing something positive instead of grifting and molesting.

He then exploded at the reporter, questioning why they were asking about the White House renovations so much, and griping that they hadn’t asked him about Venezuela. The reporter pointed out that they talked about Venezuela at length earlier in the interview.
It would be great writing if it were a TV show.

Everyone, to Trump: "You've never done one positive thing"
MILLIONS, of Americans died during COVID because of Trump's lack of empathy.
Pick someone you care about... they are dead because he stalled, or said "inject bleach" or take quinine or did nothing in supoort of masks to prevent carriers from passing it on.... and you will never get any acknowledgement or appology, even though everyone knows he carries a high portion of blame.

What the hell is a “positive question”?
Is he trying to say that he wants softball, easy questions that make him look good instead of real questions that challenge him and give the public the answers they really want answered?
I’m guessing it’s that he just doesn’t know how to say, “make me look good with your questions” without coming off as even more of a dick.
He can’t stand when someone challenges his “land of make believe” and gets angry because he knows he is wrong.

Trump literally did this to Obama by being one of the primary voices of the racist birther conspiracy. And Obama handled every bit of negative press and interviews like a goddamn champion.
But racist whiny fuckface can’t handle not being pandered to. He wouldn’t last a day if he was treated how he treats other people.

Nothing positive to ask about - measles outbreaks, destroyed economy, lawless federal government, trade wars with former close partners, , illegal/inhumane deportations, poisoned food, beef prices, gas prices, WAR YOU STARTED, all of this is not important?
What are they supposed to ask about? Your renaming of AI? Your arch? You’ve done nothing to help the average American, much less the idiots who voted for you. Go stuff those arteries with cholesterol, you fat, demented, shit-smelling fuck.
