    He has been profoundly mentally ill for decades. Fucking hell, I knew this as a kid growing up in NYC in the 80s. I find it difficult to accept how dim so much of the electorate has proven itself.

      Yes, he’s been eat up with NPD, and who knows what else, since forever. He was the laughing stock of America in the 80s, 90s, even 2000s. But his mental decline has been sharp and obvious since 2021 at my reckoning, really falling off a cliff in the past 2 years.

      I thought you said proudly. But it wouldn’t really have changed anything

        Yeah he’s had an awful reputation in NYC long before he became a national figure, especially after his public campaign to kill the exonerated five (boys falsely accused of an attack who were convicted and served full sentences before being exonerated as adults).

        He’s always been a proudly and profoundly contemptible man.
