Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Tuesday, June 03, 2025

It's worth asking. Does Trump ... think he's God? OK, he almost certainly doesn't think he's God " but does he think he's ... God-like? Divinely sanctioned or inspired or empowered?

Does he think he's somehow imbued with some special, sacred purpose for some special, sacred reason? Or did he just see and seize an opportunity to stamp his world-upending agenda with the ultimate justification " a mandate from God?

"I have no reason to doubt that he would ... prefer to believe he was saved by a supreme being because he himself is special rather than the would-be assassin was a lousy shot or he got lucky," Alan Marcus, a former Trump consultant and publicist, told me.

"He prefers drama which fits into his make-believe narrative, a narrative which always has him being the best, the biggest, the strongest, the toughest, the brightest, et cetera " none of which are even close to the truth, but he knows he can convince people," Marcus said.

"His world is fantasy, scripted like a movie " not biblical unless, of course, that helps bring a particular scene or chapter to life."

Yes. Yes he does.

What part of insane don't people get?

Trump's sort of insanity is ordinary and common place. Know to any women whose ex hangs their cat because she broke up with him.

What's really interesting is why so many putatively sane people just roll over for the insane clown.

He probably thinks he is better than God. Do you ever see God? No. Does God ever show up at his rallies? No. Does he take questions from the press every day? No.

God is just like "Hidin" Joe Biden.

I doubt he believes in God.

I think he feels the entire world owes him something.

And speaking of Musk on drugs in 2024, there's no question Trump is on a different chemical regimen now. Last year: Crazy eyed, slurring his words, THEY'RE EATING OUR PETS. His words and actions are still lunacy, but the presentation is different.

I've been too close to too many dementia'd people. He's not one of them. Dumb, ineducable, evil, greedy, and that's not even addressing his personal traits, he's all that.

But he's not stupid and he's not slipping.

Most of the world is just laughing at him.

Similar to Canadians.

I honestly think his opinion of himself is so high he doesn't even think about it this way.

The only reason he plays along is he wants to manipulate the stupidest among us.
