    “She’s not having success. I’m having success”

    Did he start that sentence with “nuh ah,” because that sounds like something a 6 year old would say.

      He’s just gonna keep repeating it…

      Real narcissism at Trump’s level is legit like this. They convince themselves that their version is real life, and just refuse to acknowledge anything contrary to that

      South Park actually did a really good job portraying it in the Fish Sticks episode with Cartman’s memory continually evolving to keep making him believe new versions where he created more and more of the joke.

      trump legit believes he’s succeeding, it’s why he’s such a good conman. It’s not a con to him, all his crazy promises he thinks he’ll follow thru on, and when he doest he rationalizing it as not his fault and he did everything he can.

          If somebody told me they based George on Trump, I wouldn’t even bother fact checking, it’s just one of those things that makes too much sesne to doubt.

          They’ve got too many similarities personality wise.

            I am currently rewatching Seinfeld and can’t see any similarities to be honest. George is a downtrodden nerd with very little self-worth always questioning himself and his decisions, thinking of himself as a loser and often saying so himself. Trump is the opposite of that, no?

              George is trump with the money stripped away

              And George wasn’t a nerd, he was a dork, there’s a difference

              I may or may not hear Stan in my head saying that everytime I stop typing a reply and just block someone.

              Such a cathartic feeling to know that person just blinked out of existence from your perspective.

              Hey, it worked!

          I remember many years ago when Scott Adams started going on about affirmations. That was the first hint of his descent into lunacy
