Pathetic person Mr Trump.

Donald Trump loves relationships and golf, because he cheats at both of these activities. Good old Donny only counts to 6 or 7 when playing golf. He then counts in reverse and claims " I had a par "

No - what’s pathetic is the outstanding level of negative bias on view here.

I’m not a Trump supporter. I think he is a poor statesman, and a lot of his public behaviour is embarrassing and clownish - its buffoonery.

But this constant stream of emotionally loaded rhetoric is worse. Present facts. Present balance. Present an intelligent argument instead of lazy tribal commentary.

Trump did not attend the 2026 wedding ceremony of his son in the Bahamas because he remained in Washington dealing with serious government and international issues involving Iran and Israel.

Yes, he skipped the wedding weekend. That was widely reported and confirmed by Trump himself.

But the context matters:

• The ceremony was intentionally small and private.

• Trump initially said he would try to attend, but ultimately couldn’t because he had a job to do.

• Other family members, including Ivanka and Eric Trump, did attend.

• There were also reports of a later White House-related celebration.

Now let’s be honest for five seconds: had he attended the wedding instead of remaining in Washington during a serious international situation, people like yourself would almost certainly be accusing him of dereliction of duty.

That’s the problem with this kind of commentary. The conclusion is predetermined, and the facts are selectively framed to support it.

You don’t have to like the man. I certainly don’t. But if you’re going to criticise him, do it with consistency, balance, and solid reasoning instead of cheap rhetoric and obvious bias.

Otherwise it just comes across as intellectually dishonest and you become worse than the accusations you levy.

Was he stressed out when he was informed that no one missed him?

I hope you dont cry on your pillow tonight. Correct me if Im wrong but I seem to remember that in the past 12 months YOU have posted multiple negative comments and new posts about DJT. Why on earth are you writing the essay above?

Outing the intellectual dishonesty of your rhetoric - its boring and pathetic.

I care little for Trump, I care less for some of the stupidity of the forced bias that some posters present towards him.

Why on earth did I post the commentary above - that much is patently obvious - but here it is again:

Another pathetic attempt at sane washing the unwashable.

Nobody's ever seen a father of the groom as great as President Trump!

Well, isn't it the custom being invited to a wedding? Was he?

Of course he was.

Trump and his sons may be strange, but they're not estranged.

Edited May 26May 26 by Jingthing

Announcing a phantom peace deal with Iran as an excuse not to attend the wedding is some gangsta s#*&!

Yes, direct that at trump. All he gets are responses in kind.

People are saying... And definitely not on truth social

He was busy thinking of how to hurt the Obamas.

And honestly, he saved the state for quite a bit of money for security for not showing up.

Of all the things there are to criticize about this man, this one is just silly & petty.

It's like some of you guys are waking up in the morning and striving to find any little thing to rage about.

Kinda like a lot of now ex wives.......

With that dude in the white house; no striving at all, its all served😋

Lots of people are ready to criticise but I wonder how many would have no problem if they were criticised? Maybe he thought the potential risk of a loony with a gun would be significant if he attended. Hence in the logic of reducing an incident he didn't attend.

To be fair, and I am no friend of Trump, if he attended he would draw attention away from the private event. They would celebrate together afterwards.

Guy in Pattaya - your morals are not high like mine!

Hilarious

I suspect Trump, in a most fatherly manner, messaged his son saying something like:

"Sorry, Junior, but I'll be sure to come to your next wedding."

I heard it's because, of all the failures Trump has given his name to, Donald junior is the only one he's ashamed of.

“Your” thread? LOL. That’s about as juvenile as the thread itself. Pathetic.

And no, I don’t smoke weed. Can’t stand the stuff. I get more than enough entertainment calling out rage-scrolling fanatics like you, desperately trying to shoehorn your political agenda into every microscopic topic like some evangelical crusader.

Honestly, you’re only a step away from the lunatics in the anti-vax threads - the same neurotic, unhinged energy, completely incapable of balanced thought or rational discussion.

POTUS being the 'leader of the free world' (if it ever was) stopped after the 9/11

"incident" some would argue way before that too.

These threads are genuinely enlightening - not about Trump, but about the astonishing depth of delusional bias some people carry while still imagining themselves intellectually objective.

It doesn’t even matter what the actual topic is anymore. The moment anyone challenges the logic, exaggeration, or outright hypocrisy behind anti-Trump rhetoric, the usual ideological fanatics come stampeding in, incapable of functioning outside their own emotional conditioning.

Cue the predictable flood of thumbs-down emojis from people who mistake tribal outrage for intelligence - as clearly observed.

I’ve never had so many negative reactions on a single thread or post, which honestly says far more about the participants than it does about me. It exposes this place for exactly what it is - an echo chamber driven almost entirely by emotional reflex rather than critical thought.

For many in here, Trump short-circuits rational analysis completely. The standards applied to everyone else suddenly vanish. Common sense, nuance, proportion, context - all abandoned the second his name enters the discussion.

What remains is pure reactionary hostility masquerading as moral and intellectual superiority.

And that’s the truly vapid part of it all. So many seem utterly incapable of separating fact from emotional gratification. If a narrative is anti-Trump, it gets embraced instantly, no matter how dishonest, exaggerated, or transparently absurd it may be.

The emotional need to hate him has become stronger than the willingness to think objectively.

That isn’t political awareness. It’s ideological neurosis and in many cases simply outright stupidity.
