They're laughing at you, Donald -- Tom Sullivan

https://digbysblog.net/2025/12/30/the-sum-of-his-fears/



Who in the White House has the guts to tell Donald Trump? Mona Charen reminds readers that as of 2016, Trump had complained "The world is laughing at us" (meaning him) at least 103 times dating back to 1987 (as documented by The Washington Post). The obsession, the Post explained, reveals "something about his worldview, if not his psyche." And what a psyche!

Charen writes:

It isn't just that your ravenous hunger for recognition betrays a personality disorder, it's that your particular style of seeking it really does provoke ridicule - that's another word for "they're laughing at us."


And for the coup de grace:

We are, to borrow a phrase, disrespected like never before. Whether your twisted ego can recognize that is open to question, but what is not debatable is that virtually the whole world knows.


Somewhere buried deep in that pea brain, so does he.
