    Strangely enough, I think Donald Trump might be the only person for which suffering Alzheimer’s Disease might be a blessing. If I were Trump, I wouldn’t want to remember who I was or those around me.

      That is sad in both directions. You’d think coming to and realizing you are a pathetic piece of shit should be some kind of punishment, but then you realize he would probably still get his sadistic pleasure out of remembering all the bodies he stepped on to get to where he is now.

      Really that’s the whole story, in that the world he lives in genuinely rewards greed and disgusting behavior, it’s just that most people have some sense or realization of the shame it involves to get there, and he’s just not equipped with the self reflection it takes for that shame to do anything.
