I rejoice any time something doesn’t go Donald Trump’s way because he frequently says that he hates me and wishes to do me harm. I separately agree that Nobel Peace Prize awards often don’t make much sense.

Trump takes time out of his day to specifically say he hates you and wishes to do you harm? That sounds really scary, random HN user.

  • No, his hatred is quite general, directed at various groups which I belong to some of. One time I remember well, for example, is when he posted a video of himself dumping poo on No Kings protesters (https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna238521). If a friend or relative responded to some political dispute with a video of them pooping on me, I’d be pretty scared.

    • If your biggest fear is that Trump is going to come and poop on you, you are very well protected and safe! And any stress you have is totally self inflicted.

  • Main character syndrome.

    • I feel like you’ve learned a strange, distorted version of the concept of “main character syndrome”. There’s a number of main characters who the Trump administration has gone out of their way to immiserate, and it’s entirely reasonable for fear that you might be next to motivate your politics. Trump doesn’t care about me personally yet, and presenting as many obstacles as possible to the causes he cares about will help keep it that way.
