I'm honestly sad about this. The man who died reportedly had serious MH issues, which is unsurprising considering he deliberately went into a tiger pen and approached the tiger. What kind of person would think that's an appropriate video to share?
Plus it frightens me... does Trump see himself that way?
It's intentionally desensitizing Americans to brutality, because when he asks his cult, they will be ready to do anything for him.
Huh, I'm sure there's no way that could backfire if the non-cult also find themselves desensitized and living in a reality in which losable things continue to diminish.
the orange pedo has repeatedly demonstrated he does not have the intelligence to understand your post... he is not playing 5D chess, he is just an idiot and a perfect reflection of the stupid populous of the USA that chose him
He just hears about something bad happening, and his ego kicks in and he thinks "this is what I would have done." I betcha he's been doing that all his life, and we can see it only now because Grok puts it on social media. The pitiful side of narcissism.
He's gonna die living in the shadow of his own ego. He'll never know what it's like to be truly proud or content with himself, just the fake glamor of ego covering up a pit of inadequacy
If he could only read this comment he'd be very upset
He does see himself that way. In his mind he is the bestest man to ever man and everyone else is a sucker. That's why he shared that video, to show that the guy who died was a sucker while he would've tamed the tiger like the manly man he is.
This is just my guess: I don’t know if old Don even recognizes the bad taste or made the connection. I think he literally saw an ai video of him playing with a tiger and went “bahaha that is awesome” and reposted it. That’s as far as his mental bandwidth went.
Ahhhh that makes sense. The news probably didn't register with him cos it's not about him and therefore meaningless
