A cretin like Trump - he really is a cretin - would think that grandiose narcissism is a good thing. The biggest and best narcissism.
Just like he thinks asylum seekers are people who have escaped from psychiatric hospitals.
That’s what makes him so valuable to Putin and why he wants NATO dusted.

I could not wait to get out of Ireland in the 80s. I worked out of country during summers then once college done, did things as I pleased, living in a few places, becoming Aussie citizen in process. Returned in 2005.

Sacha Baron Cohen called out what would happen in the USA with charlatans in power more than a decade ago in his movie, 'The Dictator'.
Has the treasonous, murderous, felonious Trump regime down to a tee.
Only bit he misses out on is Trump's surrender to the Taliban.

That’s just piss poor for the apparent best XI out of 18, yes EIGHTEEN, professional club sides.
Will probably get away with a draw this test but boy, do that lot have to do some internal reflecting, starting at the top.

I have a dark sunburst Custom '59 Les Paul, Nashville-made, and a lovely blue Ventera II Fender Strat.
As a leftie, they were a challenge to find, and I love them.

This doesn’t come across as explicitly backing anything, in my view.
Keir Starmer explicitly backs Trump's attack on Venezuela.
Says he has "long supported" getting rid of Maduro, who is an "illegitimate President" and "we shed no tears about the end of his regime".
