President Donald Trump bragged on Thursday that internet people like billionaire Elon Musk were now all kissing his ass, despite most of them opposing him during his first term in the White House.
Progress never comes from those satisfied with the failures of a broken system. It comes from those who wanna fix the broken system, and youll make the bigger money, youll make more success by acting that way, Trump advised graduates during a commencement speech at the University of Alabama. The other way may be more secure, but if you wanna go to the top, youre just never gonna do it unless you break the system.
He continued:
You have to break the system a little bit and follow your own instincts, but if your vision is right, nothing will hold you down. Nothing. You have to have the right vision. If you look at some of these internet people, I know so many of them, Elon is so terrific, but I know now all of them. You know, they all hated me in my first term, and now theyre kissing my ass.
As the graduates in the audience clapped, Trump added, Its true. All of them. Its true.

.so comes the rage.
180 law suits so far, hes won 5
Millions protest weekly against him and his failed regime
Poll numbers the lowest of any sitting president ever
An aging addled brain easily manipulated
No doubt failing health
I love this for him! May he soon be consumed by his self hatred.

(805 posts)in addition to his need to control the planet. Trump continues to pile onto what psychologists and psychiatrists have told us since before he was elected the 1st time: the man has a serious mental illness.
For God's sake, if you personally know anyone like this, head for the hills.

Also, "breaking the system/law" only works if everyone else is playing by the rules. If everyone was "breaking the system" then they start to form criminal organizations to consolidate power and compete. Then turf wars........ Pretty soon the majority that didn't win in the consolidation and are under their thumb begin to champion Govt regulation and enforcement and a fair playing field. A SYSTEM so to speak (which is what we are supposed to be trying to do now).

(73,979 posts)Is this like when he said other countries are calling him up and kissing his ass for trade deals
when the exact # of countries calling him for trade deals was zero? Except for Canadas P.M.
who called Krasnov up and told him to cut the crap after which Canada and European countries
started to sell off treasury bills or bonds and Donny backed off in a heartbeat.
How to tell Donny is lying? His lips are moving.

(16,081 posts)'so and so is kissing my ass' or words to that effect . In the last 250 years of American politics I don't think any president used that phrase. I would love to ignore him but to do so would be foolish.
