His base too. Ignore their bait, relentlessly point out what they're doing: trying to see themselves as some sort of hero worthy or worship, because they don't believe in themselves so they just pretend to always be right and good and anyone who disagrees with them is automatically wrong and bad. And if they point you do this, don't even deny it. Just agree you do, but pint out that you have the courage to admit you're human. That's the difference.
Only the best old man.. Yelling at the greatest of clouds, yelling and being the greatest to have ever yelled. Eating the clouds, because even the greatest of clouds are no match for the best old man and his magnificent yelling.. and eating.. such yelling and eating as was never seen before..

Deep inside, he's a poor little boy who never learned what unconditional love is. Instead, he learned that he can gain at least acceptance through success. And soon after that, he learned that he can also gain this same acceptance through a mere facade of success - and he's been sticking to that game ever since. Poor, little, frustrated boys tend to smash their toys when they don't get their ways - but if one of them is in a high position of power, other people are his toys. And he's been breaking a lot of them.
Probably will turn into a religion after he is gone. He is right about one thing, which was written about in his “The Art of the Deal” - people want to believe in something big, something grand, something large scale. Even if it is a fantasy.
WOW!! He has lived in alternate realty for so long! He's never been a tough guy. He's been bankrupt in his businesses and in his brain. I think he is an snake oil salesman.
Benedict Arnold died June 14,1801. Donald Trump born. June 14,1946. Adolf Hitler died April 30, 1945. 1 year and 45 days later the 45th President was born on a total lunar eclipse with a totality of 91.1 minutes or 911.

Just didn't see this kind of cultish behavior coming, smfh....
I understood people wanting someone other than a typical career politician . But I I knew then he was not the one to support in any way . He was not the answer Americans were looking for . He was the perfect example of everything wrong with America .

After he lost in 2020, we had almost a month where he went into hiding and just gave up on doing the actual job he claims only he can do (which is, obviously, something every one of us would be fired for in our jobs). Of course when he did resurface, it was with a violent mob brainwashed into betraying America. Because no matter what, at the end of day, what Jan 6th was about wasn't Americans trying to save America. It was cultists volunteering to be cannon fodder for their leader's ego. But that quiet handful of time was the best Christmas gift I've gotten in years.
He's a sad, pathetic symptom of our education system, and the worst of many of our social values. A poor reflection of our society, and many of our fellow citizens. And worse, he may train wreck our country and destabilize the world.
There are literally homeless ppl I respect more than I do Trump (or Elon, or McMahon either). Respect isn't about money or power. It's about character. The only "impressive" thing about the guy is his knack for avoiding consequences. And that being said, even the credit for THAT should probably go to others, not him.
It's unfair to compare homeless people to that despicable cockroach. They are often a product of unfortunate life circumstances....he is an unmitigated tool
according to his niece's book, Trump was sent to military school for acting out. His father hoped military school would beat his spoiled attitude right out of him. Trump did get beat up a lot while there, but it didn't make him a better person. Proof that physically harming a child as a form of discipline does not work.
@donaldsweeney784, Djt just hasn't met his match yet, that day will come and Djt will not be able to escape it. We all reap what we've sown, may it be good, bad, ugly or indifferent, Djt will reap everything he's ever sown in his life.
It's the other way around narcissists use people as tools or supplies to boost their own ego because they're very insecure individuals and that's what Trump is doing because he doesn't care about anyone only wants their votes
If he were a confident man he'd recognise that he has indeed accomplished more than 99.9% of the human population. But since he isn't, his needy persona diminishes everything he is, was, or ever will be by chasing admiration and whining about every perceived obstacle that is allegedly holding him back. My 74 year old neighbour has done bubkiss on a global scale. A working man who never says more than two words. That guy exudes confidence without trying to. He seems strong as an oak without showing a single muscle, or boasting off about long past feats. Some people are impressive no matter what. Some just aren't. Great video, Steve.
I saw a comment that someone wrote about why they are voting for him: “I don’t like the guy, but he’ll drain the swamp in Washington”. It boggles my mind that someone can think this way after his last presidency - not that they don’t like him, but that he’ll actually do any good for our country.
If only ten percent more of the Human Family possessed your level of common sense, Steve Shives, this badly broken world of ours would be a VASTLY better place in which to live! Not a utopia, of course. But a profusely more pleasant realm. Thank you ENORMOUSLY for doing what you do. Keep up the good work!
As someone who grew up with a narcissist from Queens as a parent, seeing the parallels between my own upbringing and the situation developing in this country. His supporters seek approval they will never get. I pity them. For people like Trump and my father, I see a man afraid of confronting the pain he has inflicted on other people through his life. An aggressive, bullish bravado hide a deep seated fear of feeling small and out of control. Folks like Trump and my father hold nothing but their own satisfaction in the highest regard. Trump is a deeply terrified man, and we are seeing the consequences of a life of running away from it unfold before us. And there is no one more deserving.
@@skygard49 I appreciate your concern. I can tell you that I have much better people around me and I’ve been working out the emotional kinks of being enmeshed with someone as toxic as folks like that can be. It’s a process but I take it day by day.
It's all about pretending to be the great hero. He's always right and good, and anyone who doesn't agree is wrong and bad. That's what he taught his base to do. It's a mistake to attempt to appeal to their reason or compassion. Instead relentlessly point out what they're doing; pretending to be a hero so they don't have to be self-aware. Don't take their bait, be relentless about pointing out what they're really doing.
The most honest and thorough evaluation of him that I have heard! But it’s exactly what I have known for years. Unfortunately the brainwashed cult of fools see him the way he wants. There’s more of us than them. Let’s Go!
Absolutely brilliant! The most enjoyable and valuable 10 minutes 15 seconds I've spent doing anything in my life, was watching this video. He was, is and always will be, the Emperor's new clothes of not only business and politics, but more accurately, of humanity too
How ironic it is that someone running for president of the UNITED States on a platform that includes unity is in danger of losing to a criminal liar that appeals to some of the worst in people. A person that actively insults and belittles people as he seeks to gain their vote, and divides us all worse than anyone that has been in the position of leader of this country. His power is his supporters. He was a prominent figure that was willing to say publicly, and boldly what all his followers were afraid to, or didn't have enough popularity to gain influence with. He became their voice. Republicans leaders mostly stayed away from his craziness until they saw it was working. Gradually they started to fall in line behind him. He may be a loser, but now he is probably the most dangerous loser in this country. It's imperative to take seriously the need to make sure he does not become president again. It's not just what he has done, continues to and will do if he becomes president again, but the fact that others that are much more stable and younger than he is are reading his playbook. What was once unthinkable has become normal for these people. He's the first in what is now a line of people that will have to be beaten back because they see the success of what he's done. He must be taken care of first! VOTE!!!
As a former WWE employee and conflicted lifelong wrestling fan I’ve been waiting to hear you bring up Trump’s problematic relationship with Vince for a long time! Love hearing your take on things. 💕 Great video Steve as always 💙💙💙
WOW! BRAVO! THANK YOU! THIS NEEDS TO BE SHOWN AND HEARD ON EVERY MEANS OF COMMUNICATION OUTLETS! You, sir, have described that empty vessel to the very core. No one I have listened to has been so precise in their analyzisation. For having no acredited certification, you were spot on. Listening to you, I experienced a plethora of emotions. Am still immobilized, heart racing, tears falling, and speechless. Thank you.
According to four seasons total landscaping, “Chump is the sort of guy who would cheat:(1) on all of his wives (2) in business (3) at golf (4) on charities (5) on his taxes (6) on the country”
Trump is a cognitively declining narcissistic psychopath with no empathy, remorse, impulse control or a conscience, the perfect pathology for a monster. The number 45 squared is 2025. God help us.
Fun fact: Sesame Street lampooned Trump 3 times long before he was famous. The best of the three was when Joe Pesci played Ronald Grump, the main villain of the 25th anniversary special, who wanted to buy Sesame Street and turn it into luxury condos.
And it was Oscar who ended up saving Sesame Street because Grump couldn't buy his trash can because it's city property. I was just reading up on that at the Muppet wiki.
@@amylee8969 It wasn't the future. Trump was a well known villain around NYC where Sesame Street is produced, since the 1980s. He was also the basis for Biff in Back to the Future. The rest of the country didn't know until he ran for President.
As to your final comment, there still is a way he could legitimately impress people. If he acknowledged all this. If he finally accepted who and what he is, publicly, now that would be pretty impressive! I know it will never happen, but it's not outside of his reach.
It's sad, really. You almost want to give him a hug and tell him everything willl be ok, then you realize that if you did that he would surely pick your pocket.
Yes, Trump is so simple and shallow that people cant see for what he is. Altough he repeatedly say what he is people still insist on interpreting him and what he says to what he is not: strong, clever, problem solving, negotiator, art of the deal, transactional, self made tycoon, etc HE IS VERY SIMPLE and SHALLOW, IGNORANT.
I personally feel bad for Fred Trump III. From what I've read on the guy he's practically his uncle's opposite and honestly might've made for a better president. For those who don't know who Fred Trump III is he is Donald Trump's nephew. Fred currently has 3 children. His youngest child, William has a seizure disorder that requires a lifetime of care. I mention this because according to Fred, Donald once instructed Fred to just let his child die. Fred is an advocate for people with disabilities and what will probably surprise no one is that Fred has keenly voted Democrats, at least since 2016, and is still in support of Kamala Harris. Basically, he's the guy that really should be representing the Trump family rather than his uncle.
Fred Jr. was also a good guy, from what I've read. He wasn't all that interested in the family business, and so became a commercial aircraft pilot. Fred Sr. described him as a glorified bus driver. But this was a man who was qualified on the Boeing 707 and worked for PanAm. The most technologically-advanced aircraft of the age. The most prestigious airline in the country. And the job wasn't given to him, either. But the psychological abuse drove him to drink, and it ruined his career and his health.
@@SynchroScore Fred Jr was horribly emotionally abused by Fred Sr. Fred Sr put him and his family up in an apartment owned by the trump family that had constant maintenance issues that never got fixed. this lead to health complications for Fred Jr. When Fred Jr tried to move his family out and buy a house, the Senior Trump used his connections to get him denied. When jr. and his wife got divorced he managed to get a small crappy apartment not under his father's control, and he was so PROUD of that apartment. He was so miserable living under his father's thumb, that when his only alternative was a cheap crappy apartment, he thought it was a step up in life. (which it was.)
@@DragonflyandTheWolf Holy moly, I didn't know it was that bad. Fred Sr. really was an evil, evil fucker. No wonder Donnie is the way he is, because the turd doesn't fall far from the asshole. Seems like Fred Jr. actually had some scruples, so he couldn't be trusted.

But that quiet handful of time was the best Christmas gift I've gotten in years.
Even if he's voted out I fear he'll still make sure he's in the news, unfortunately
Now THIS is an opinion piece the NY Times should run!
His niece Mary said that he suffered a narcissist injury at the debate. Which would make him go crazy(ier).
Hell hath no fury, like a narcissistic psychopath with a wounded ego. 🔥
love how you tell the TRUTH❤🎉❤
He's a sad, pathetic symptom of our education system, and the worst of many of our social values. A poor reflection of our society, and many of our fellow citizens. And worse, he may train wreck our country and destabilize the world.
I was going to blame it on genetics.
He was sent to the best schools. It didn't take.😄
In one word - evil .
The number 45 squared is 2025. God help us.
@@MartinJ-t7y It is said that God helps those who help themselves .
@@kasnitchVote. We vote 🗳 BLUE for America. To help ourselves.
God sent Trump to show us just how bad it could be .
All I can say is, absolutely outstanding! So eloquently stated
There are literally homeless ppl I respect more than I do Trump (or Elon, or McMahon either). Respect isn't about money or power. It's about character.
The only "impressive" thing about the guy is his knack for avoiding consequences. And that being said, even the credit for THAT should probably go to others, not him.
He avoids consequences by having others take up those consequences
Honestly I respect the vast majority of homeless people more than these guys
Well spoken!
It's unfair to compare homeless people to that despicable cockroach. They are often a product of unfortunate life circumstances....he is an unmitigated tool
@@kanakchiru9090 Right. Success in this world is as much about luck & birthright as it is about talent or merit.
Very well said! Trump never would've made it off the playground when I was a kid. Hard to believe anyone follows him.
Play ground?? Try the crib 🍼👶
according to his niece's book, Trump was sent to military school for acting out. His father hoped military school would beat his spoiled attitude right out of him. Trump did get beat up a lot while there, but it didn't make him a better person. Proof that physically harming a child as a form of discipline does not work.
Well said Steve. Trumps a punk whose never been punched in the face.
He was at The New York Military Academy in 1958. His parents sent him there for being Incorrigible.
Hay! don't disrespect punks like that
I would absolutely LOVE to see that!
@donaldsweeney784, Djt just hasn't met his match yet, that day will come and Djt will not be able to escape it. We all reap what we've sown, may it be good, bad, ugly or indifferent, Djt will reap everything he's ever sown in his life.
He’s a jail bird without a DOJ able to put him behind bars.
Merrick Garland is a compromised coward at best: more like a traitor to the USA.
Don’t need to be a psychologist, psychologist needs to be you , it’s your gift very creative 🌵 I never comment but was compelled to do so. Blessings
He's a fake billionaire that sells fake watches and they're both soulless
Even his sneakers are soulless.
He is the epitome of a Capitalist.
Everything is based on Greed and Competition.
No Compassion or Cooperation.
How about AI generated trading cards and crypto coin. Talk about fake, thoughtless, intangible garbage
Yep all garbage just like him
Have you seen the damn train set he is trying to sell now?
Excellent work Steve. 10 minutes never felt so concise!
Even his most faithful know, they just think he's their tool.
It's the other way around narcissists use people as tools or supplies to boost their own ego because they're very insecure individuals and that's what Trump is doing because he doesn't care about anyone only wants their votes
Another fantastic summation of the fundamental problems. Bravo, sir.
The combination of Insecurity and ignorance creates the worst monsters.
Kudos Steve. Truth.
The big shadow of the small wizard 😂Dorothy, wake up!
You hit the nail on the head....
If he were a confident man he'd recognise that he has indeed accomplished more than 99.9% of the human population. But since he isn't, his needy persona diminishes everything he is, was, or ever will be by chasing admiration and whining about every perceived obstacle that is allegedly holding him back. My 74 year old neighbour has done bubkiss on a global scale. A working man who never says more than two words. That guy exudes confidence without trying to. He seems strong as an oak without showing a single muscle, or boasting off about long past feats. Some people are impressive no matter what. Some just aren't. Great video, Steve.
He’s just a street thug with opportunities starting from his father’s money.
Why people believe a person like this is incredible!
I saw a comment that someone wrote about why they are voting for him: “I don’t like the guy, but he’ll drain the swamp in Washington”. It boggles my mind that someone can think this way after his last presidency - not that they don’t like him, but that he’ll actually do any good for our country.
If anything, he watered the swamp...
@@loretta1971 he DEFINITELY watered the swamp with his concierge judges.
Jesus, Fred Trump looked like an ogre. Woody Guthrie had him dead to rights.
Damn Steve. That was perfection.
you have an amazing insight of people, Trump is very transparent, you sure nailed Trump perfectly.
If only ten percent more of the Human Family possessed your level of common sense, Steve Shives, this badly broken world of ours would be a VASTLY better place in which to live! Not a utopia, of course. But a profusely more pleasant realm. Thank you ENORMOUSLY for doing what you do. Keep up the good work!
You sir are a TRUTH monger! You have a new fan here.... Keep speaking . We are LISTENING!!! Thank you!
BRILLIANT DESCRIPTION.PERFECT ACTUALLY. YES,we see him😂
The best summarization of Trump I’ve heard so far. Nicely done.
Who is Mantoddler? The best answer gave E.J.Carroll in a nutshell: "He´s a nothing in a suit with a tie."!
Well done
"And maybe even a few with smaller hands!" Great video, Steve
"It's you Donald." Brilliant.
Good commentary! Thanks. 😊
Thank you Steve!
As someone who grew up with a narcissist from Queens as a parent, seeing the parallels between my own upbringing and the situation developing in this country. His supporters seek approval they will never get. I pity them. For people like Trump and my father, I see a man afraid of confronting the pain he has inflicted on other people through his life. An aggressive, bullish bravado hide a deep seated fear of feeling small and out of control. Folks like Trump and my father hold nothing but their own satisfaction in the highest regard. Trump is a deeply terrified man, and we are seeing the consequences of a life of running away from it unfold before us. And there is no one more deserving.
Sorry you ended up born to a similar buffoon, hope you have better people to call family now.
@@skygard49 I appreciate your concern. I can tell you that I have much better people around me and I’ve been working out the emotional kinks of being enmeshed with someone as toxic as folks like that can be. It’s a process but I take it day by day.
Thank you for sharing. It helps us all understand
It's all about pretending to be the great hero. He's always right and good, and anyone who doesn't agree is wrong and bad. That's what he taught his base to do. It's a mistake to attempt to appeal to their reason or compassion. Instead relentlessly point out what they're doing; pretending to be a hero so they don't have to be self-aware. Don't take their bait, be relentless about pointing out what they're really doing.
The most honest and thorough evaluation of him that I have heard! But it’s exactly what I have known for years. Unfortunately the brainwashed cult of fools see him the way he wants. There’s more of us than them. Let’s Go!
This is one of the most concise descriptions of trump. Sure you don't have a psychology degree hiding somewhere, Steve?
Absolutely brilliant! The most enjoyable and valuable 10 minutes 15 seconds I've spent doing anything in my life, was watching this video.
He was, is and always will be, the Emperor's new clothes of not only business and politics, but more accurately, of humanity too
How ironic it is that someone running for president of the UNITED States on a platform that includes unity is in danger of losing to a criminal liar that appeals to some of the worst in people. A person that actively insults and belittles people as he seeks to gain their vote, and divides us all worse than anyone that has been in the position of leader of this country. His power is his supporters. He was a prominent figure that was willing to say publicly, and boldly what all his followers were afraid to, or didn't have enough popularity to gain influence with. He became their voice. Republicans leaders mostly stayed away from his craziness until they saw it was working. Gradually they started to fall in line behind him. He may be a loser, but now he is probably the most dangerous loser in this country. It's imperative to take seriously the need to make sure he does not become president again. It's not just what he has done, continues to and will do if he becomes president again, but the fact that others that are much more stable and younger than he is are reading his playbook. What was once unthinkable has become normal for these people. He's the first in what is now a line of people that will have to be beaten back because they see the success of what he's done. He must be taken care of first! VOTE!!!
Well said and unfortunately very true
This is such an awesome video full of nothing but the truth. Thank you. I have subscribed and look forward to hearing more from you.
Truth!
Spot on! Nailed it. Hope those still undecided watch this very accurate character profile of Donvict, one of the worst characters in American history.
Excellent analysis!!!
For anyone else, I'd have to add the Simpsons quote, "Stop! Stop! He's already dead!" but I'm going to let this one go. Carry on.
As a former WWE employee and conflicted lifelong wrestling fan I’ve been waiting to hear you bring up Trump’s problematic relationship with Vince for a long time! Love hearing your take on things. 💕 Great video Steve as always 💙💙💙
The country can’t breathe with this man always on everyone’s mind. He is stifling, sucking the air out of the room - for everybody.
All well said
WOW! BRAVO! THANK YOU!
THIS NEEDS TO BE SHOWN AND HEARD ON EVERY MEANS OF COMMUNICATION OUTLETS!
You, sir, have described that empty vessel to the very core. No one I have listened to has been so precise in their analyzisation. For having no acredited certification, you were spot on.
Listening to you, I experienced a plethora of emotions. Am still immobilized, heart racing, tears falling, and speechless. Thank you.
I know cardboard cutouts with more depth than the Orange One
According to four seasons total landscaping, “Chump is the sort of guy who would cheat:(1) on all of his wives (2) in business (3) at golf (4) on charities (5) on his taxes (6) on the country”
Trump is a cognitively declining narcissistic psychopath with no empathy, remorse, impulse control or a conscience, the perfect pathology for a monster. The number 45 squared is 2025. God help us.
"Do you think we're stupid" -- Rudy Giuliani, having secured a location with less manure in it than in his brains. No, Rudy. We know you are.
Fun fact: Sesame Street lampooned Trump 3 times long before he was famous. The best of the three was when Joe Pesci played Ronald Grump, the main villain of the 25th anniversary special, who wanted to buy Sesame Street and turn it into luxury condos.
And it was Oscar who ended up saving Sesame Street because Grump couldn't buy his trash can because it's city property. I was just reading up on that at the Muppet wiki.
Sesame Street predicted the future. I remember that lol
@@amylee8969 It wasn't the future. Trump was a well known villain around NYC where Sesame Street is produced, since the 1980s. He was also the basis for Biff in Back to the Future. The rest of the country didn't know until he ran for President.
Concise and accurate assessment.
The times that Trump is the most honest is when he reads the poem about the snake at his rallies.
It's evident that Donnie needed psychiatric help.
Needs.
As to your final comment, there still is a way he could legitimately impress people. If he acknowledged all this. If he finally accepted who and what he is, publicly, now that would be pretty impressive! I know it will never happen, but it's not outside of his reach.
It's sad, really. You almost want to give him a hug and tell him everything willl be ok, then you realize that if you did that he would surely pick your pocket.
Makes me wonder how much good he could have done with that deep need for respect and approval, if he'd chosen better role models.
Yes, Trump is so simple and shallow that people cant see for what he is. Altough he repeatedly say what he is people still insist on interpreting him and what he says to what he is not: strong, clever, problem solving, negotiator, art of the deal, transactional, self made tycoon, etc HE IS VERY SIMPLE and SHALLOW, IGNORANT.
Truly!
First comment. I love all your content. Your refreshing level headed perspective is always looked forward to.
You're bang right on.
Well done, Steve.
I personally feel bad for Fred Trump III. From what I've read on the guy he's practically his uncle's opposite and honestly might've made for a better president. For those who don't know who Fred Trump III is he is Donald Trump's nephew. Fred currently has 3 children. His youngest child, William has a seizure disorder that requires a lifetime of care. I mention this because according to Fred, Donald once instructed Fred to just let his child die.
Fred is an advocate for people with disabilities and what will probably surprise no one is that Fred has keenly voted Democrats, at least since 2016, and is still in support of Kamala Harris. Basically, he's the guy that really should be representing the Trump family rather than his uncle.
Fred Jr. was also a good guy, from what I've read. He wasn't all that interested in the family business, and so became a commercial aircraft pilot. Fred Sr. described him as a glorified bus driver. But this was a man who was qualified on the Boeing 707 and worked for PanAm. The most technologically-advanced aircraft of the age. The most prestigious airline in the country. And the job wasn't given to him, either. But the psychological abuse drove him to drink, and it ruined his career and his health.
@@SynchroScore Fred Jr was horribly emotionally abused by Fred Sr. Fred Sr put him and his family up in an apartment owned by the trump family that had constant maintenance issues that never got fixed. this lead to health complications for Fred Jr. When Fred Jr tried to move his family out and buy a house, the Senior Trump used his connections to get him denied. When jr. and his wife got divorced he managed to get a small crappy apartment not under his father's control, and he was so PROUD of that apartment. He was so miserable living under his father's thumb, that when his only alternative was a cheap crappy apartment, he thought it was a step up in life. (which it was.)
@@DragonflyandTheWolf Holy moly, I didn't know it was that bad. Fred Sr. really was an evil, evil fucker. No wonder Donnie is the way he is, because the turd doesn't fall far from the asshole. Seems like Fred Jr. actually had some scruples, so he couldn't be trusted.
EXCELLENT PRESENTATION!
I almost got gooseflesh listening to this monolog. PREACH, STEVE, PREACH!!!
You nailed it 💯
