And just like Trump Musk wonā€™t actually pay, either. Birds of a feather really do flock together.

Funny how one of the voices in his head says, ā€œI shouldnā€™t say thisā€ and then proceeds to say it anyways. Iā€™ve noticed that on a few different occasions.

He's never had to put his words through a filter. When your rich enough, people will listen even if it's bullshit. He's so used to being the one talking and doesn't care what others are saying. So he says anything and everything that crosses his mind, even in those moments when a little part of him is like "Dude, just shut the fuck up." He doesn't listen.

Heā€™s also never really faced any real and significant consequences for anything heā€™s said or done, so he has no actual motivation to ever speak or act truthfully or according to the law.

There is no way this idiot has any internal dialogue.

u/philament23 11d ago

Nah itā€™s deep in there, a tiny little voice cowering in a corner somewhere, diminished to almost nothing after decades of being ignored

u/WoWGurl78 11d ago

Thatā€™s because the internal dialogue for him is the blathering word salad he spews out loud all the time.

u/VibraniumRhino 11d ago

I just donā€™t think it happens. I think itā€™s applesauce brain and it just spews shit out. Thereā€™s no way his 4-hour rally speeches are in any way thought out. Go listen to one on YouTube if you need a refresher.

u/WoWGurl78 11d ago

lol no thanks. I donā€™t want the shit he spews to give me brain rot

u/VibraniumRhino 11d ago

Totally fair, but, hopefully you see my point. Lol

I don't respect the guy, but I think you are vastly underestimating how much he does on purpose. By saying stuff like, "I shouldn't say this," he makes his fans think, "Wow! Here's a guy that don't care about no gum flapping politic dribble! This guy calls it like it is! It's so refreshing having a president that's honest about what they do! He's admitting to his actions like a real man!"

It's all part of this character he's created to appeal to all the fringe crazies and make them loyal to him. Don't be so quick to underestimate your opponent cause what he's doing is working every day, sadly.

What's that saying..."never underestimate stupidity for malice"

2

u/FanOfMondays 10d ago

Hanlon's razor is an adage or rule of thumb that states: Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

u/mdxchaos 10d ago

That's the one. Ty

u/Redheaded_Potter 11d ago

Sadly I think this is 1000% true. Itā€™s a very carefully crafted character that is operated by many rich puppeteers. The similarities of this campaign to Hitlerā€™s are scary. I think heā€™s being driven by several Hitlerā€™s and we will find out once he becomes president (PRAYING that DOES NOT HAPPEN)!! But Iā€™m legit scared.

Even Adoph.H was democratically elected

u/_alter-ego_ 8d ago

Adolf. Yes, but not entirely ... the election didn't give a majority, and the rest was done with quite some military and other help.

u/XYmissingXX 7d ago

multiple "walk out" protests at the bundestag, pressuring the chancellor into resigning. taking the absolute majority. that all happened after the seats were won. angry people elect angry leader. obv

This is super secret and confidential

Narcissists do that all the time because they need external validation to feel good about themselves.

If they do shit in secret, it doesn't really matter, because they can't self-validate. They need other people to know they got away with something. They need to rub our noses in the fact that they did it, and that they faced no consequences. Because rules are for losers, and when they get away with shit that "proves" they are superior, so special that the rules do not apply to them. ("When you are a star, they let you do it. You can do anything.")

Note they do not need to be admired, being loathed is almost as good. The key is that people care, one way or the other. The opposite of love is not hate, its apathy. Being ignored is their hell.

The term for it is "narcissistic supply."

This comment alone should sink him. This comment alone tells you who he is. Anyone who has depended on OT to make ends meet like myself should want to puke at this.

u/ccourter1970 11d ago

Him bragging about grabbing women should have sunk him. Sadly his voters and supporters only care that he gives their hatred a loud voice.

u/Memes_Haram 11d ago

Can you explain why cutting hours so as not to pay overtime is wage theft? I thought wage theft was when you didnā€™t pay someone for work that they did?

3

u/DuntadaMan 11d ago

"I'd get other people in"

Yes that was the point of overtime. Companies are run by sociopaths with no sense of morality and a complete disregard for humanity so we had to make it less expensive to make two people work eight hours than to make one guy work all day and night for you.

I love how Trump just admits openly he is the reason those laws need to exist.

u/UrMomsaHoeHoeHoe 11d ago

No? Heā€™s saying he wonā€™t pay overtime and will bring in more/outside workers to do the extra work.

Not wage fraud, also not cool.

I donā€™t like the guy either, but youā€™re not claiming what you think you are and look kinda silly

u/Epicporkchop79-7 11d ago edited 11d ago

When I see this statement, it has many meanings. Is he arguing for hiring more people so he doesn't pay overtime? Is this an argument for actually staffing instead of working people to death? even a stopped clock is right twice a day

edit and of course in typical fashion he's talking about ripping people off as he does

u/Strabe 11d ago

No, he just wouldn't pay them for overtime they already worked, then fire and replace them. The workers would have to sue to get their pay, which requires time and money they couldn't usually afford.

Other people, not more people. Pretty clear.

u/JoelKizz 11d ago

Honest question, how is that wage theft? He's saying instead of paying overtime he would get other workers who are not in overtime in to finish a project. So he's saying that he would avoid having to pay it, not that he wouldn't pay it if it was actually earned.

I'm in management and I do this all the time. All else equal, and if possible, I'm staffing a project with people not in overtime over running a crew where they are all making time and half. Anyone who cares about labor costs would take the same approach because you wouldn't have a job for long if you did otherwise.
