This made me realize a common trait with members of this administration: their mothers or other immediate family members being disappointed and embarrassed by them. Trump, Hegseth, Miller, to name just three.

Not a big surprise considering how awful so many people in this administration are s human beings. But still... It makes me wonder how insecure and resentful they must be about being rejected by their birth families. Lots of mommy and daddy issues. And the world is feeling the brunt of that.

imagine the world today if all these fail-sons had just gone to therapy instead of going into politics?

I am more puzzled by the fact that these kind of people are admired by a significant chunk of the American population

[–] TimboSlice@discuss.online 22 points 1 week ago (1 children)

They're the same type of people.

No! This is the almighty media, I keep seeing how the lay man is blamed, these idols are built by Fox, Twitter and Facebook

100 of millions of people have not read this email, you are privileged because you have more access to information

People know that he has a strong yawline and that Obama wore a tan suit, the media is the enemy!!!

The people who own the media are the enemy. No war but the class war.

The American public is constantly being manipulated.

They have familial issues because they disgusting people.

I have familial issues because my parents are disgusting people.

We are not the same.

Trump's father is pretty disgusting. Musk's as well.

[–] CrabAndBroom@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 week ago

Elon Musk's father said publicly that Elon was a bad parent, and at least one of his children seems to openly despise him.

Trump's niece Mary is actually a democrat, and very left leaning one at that. She is absolutely DISGUSTED with him. She even wrote a book about how her family dynamic created him.

[–] ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah, and it sounds like she had a relatively decent immediate family experience (excluding the fact that her grandfather was a scumbag and she says her Uncle Donald lusted after her when she was younger).

I believe she's also pretty well respected in the psychology field. She seems like a reasonable and normal person. The fact that her hatred of her uncle really gets under his skin makes me think maybe the lack of approval issues that burden Donnie aren't limited to mommy/daddy rejection.

I believe she’s also pretty well respected in the psychology field.

that tends to happen when you have a PhD. Her brother Fred Trump III, also destests His uncle. btw. That whole branch of the family turned out ok, surprisingly. Kind of an inverse of the Kennedy's TBH.

A good book to read.
