Why Are People So Obsessed with TRUMP?

For a man with the IQ of an Indian River grapefruit and the EQ of a ten year old, you'd think people could/would easily discount the man--but alas, he seems to have captured the obsessive attention of just about everyone.  As Andy Rooney would say...

    To paraphrase Jeff Foxworthy:

    If all you can talk about, think about or post about is Donald Trump, you might be obsessed.

    Well, one-half  of America has that IR Grapefruit IQ and the other half need to babysit the other half or we will have a citrus fruit  for President,  thanks to the lower IQ'd slavish sheep fans of an emotionally retarded grapefruit from Hell.

    How long are you going to let Trump own a portion of your mind, Sharonna?

     He took one million dollars and turned it into a billion. Most people would take a million dollars and SPEND it in about a year.

    Yep, that's great, but it doesn't explain why so many people have ALLOWED the man to occupy so much of their mind.

    The object of one's obsession OWNS the one thus obsessed.

  • I can't tell you how MUCH I am sick of hearing about that rediculous, bloated circus peanut with mold, but I have to say that he was ignored and dismissed as a frivolous candidate, then look what happened.

    It's very important that this fools antics and the danger of Trumpism is drummed into everyone head.

    If you don't like it now, I'd be curious to hear how you feel in 2 months. LOL

    It's just gonna get worse

    I for one think people will, at the last minute, realize what a horrible mistake it would be to pull the lever for Trump.  They'll either pull it for Hillary or for some other candidate just to assuage their conscience.  Maybe I'm being overly optimistic, but I just cannot imagine him getting the popular vote.

    And then there's the electoral college...

    That'd be a good enough reason to tune in from week to week or day to day, but not to elect a carnival barker as president--much less to obsess about a totally unrealistic possibility.

    @bhwilson -- Sorry, you are factually incorrect.

    And a big reason Trump is so fascinating is because his supporters so desperately WANT to believe Trump's BS. Trump himself is trivial. What Trump exemplifies in our culture, politics, and human cognition is well worth studying.

  • Incredible, isn't it? Here is a guy that has absolutely no chance to be president, yet he has people in hysterics. People have honestly lost their grip on sanity and reason. Although the Clinton campaign is built on lies and misrepresentation that stretches into infinity, she is the next president. Bet the ranch on it.

    He has a marmite effect about him. You either love him or hate him.

    I passed a house yesterday that had massive Trump signs all over it. Even had the slogan: "Make America great again". I wonder how much abuse they get. lol
