Why don’t people understand Donald Trump?

I met Trump in ’82, attended meetings with him, and worked with his organization. I can tell you that he’s very very easy to understand, trust me. There’s not much there there.

Totally predictable. Not a complex person. Success is a mirage. A cataclysmic failure with anything he’s hands-on with.

Success came from borrowed money he never paid back, products/services he never paid for. Carried by dedicated underlings who he set against each other. The good ones saw it and left. Others, out of loyalty or lack of options, thought they could change the trajectory and stayed a bit only to be blamed for Trump’s recklessness. After a while, Trump could not get able managers, and was left with kowtowing Assholes.

What I don’t understand is You. Why do you love him, given his track record? Please respond with Trump assets, not bashing others.


This is a really easy question to answer. As neither a conservative or liberal, I don’t understand Trump because I can’t relate to someone who lies like it’s a sport, and speaks in fragments that do not form cohesive thoughts.

I expect more out of a leader. His fake news campaign is hilarious at best, the promises he makes are about as reliable as a cell phone signal in Africa, and frankly, he’s an immature bully who acts without thought … at least I hope that’s what’s happening, because many of his decisions seem rash, and if they’re not, we’re all in bigger trouble than initially thought.

The public has always had the following problems with politicians:

  • They lie too much.
  • They don’t do much of what they promise.
  • Even that which they fulfill is often underwhelming.
  • There’s too much double talk.
  • It’s scary having a select few ruling with an iron fist.
  • They seem to live to help the wealthy.

For some reason voters identified with Trump despite him never living a day in his life like any random Joe. He takes the qualities any intelligent human hates in a politician and amplifies them. To put it simply; the world has fallen on dark times and Trump’s voice is the guide to get free into the light. The problem is he can’t form a cohesive thought that gets you there, and is learning how to read the directions while on the job.

I guess we really don’t understand how you understand Trump.


I understand him. Perfectly. He has NPD without a doubt, there is absolutely no question.
He likes to gas light citizens, he literally called anyone who doesn’t support him his enemy (I saw the tweet when he posted it, not copied somewhere else). He feels he has the right to violate others because he is just so awesome. He has a long history of cheating people saying it is “good business”.

He lost me many, many years ago during his last divorce when his wife felt he had forced sex on her and he claimed a husband cannot rape a wife. The obvious implication is that a wife is duty bound to give sex whenever the man wants.
There is more, but this is a short list of reasons that so many think he is a horrible person.
I am not sure how anyone could truly love him.

Edit 10/13/25: I am disabling comments as there have been a growing number of what appear to be bots or propaganda farms leaving nonsense unrelated to my response and no one has time for that.
