Josh Lucas as Craig McDermott in the 2000 film "American Psycho".
Donald Trump Symbol Analysis in the Novel American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis... Long before he became President in 2017, Donald J. Trump was a businessman, author, and celebrity. In American Psycho, he is the person Patrick Bateman idolizes above all others. Bateman talks about him constantly, citing incredibly specific details of his life of luxury, and is often distracted by the thought of seeing Trump or his wife Ivana out in New York City. ...
Ellis's inclusion of Trump as an idol in the novel (he never actually appears) grounds the book in a reality of late 1980s Wall Street New York and also shows the obsessive nature of Bateman’s mind. His love for Trump clearly indicates to the reader the things that Bateman values most in another person: wealth, success, extravagance, and beautiful women. litcharts.com.

Anti-Psychopath PAC is dedicated to highlighting Donald Trump’s mental instability, bringing it to the forefront of national discussion. We're doing everything we can -- from television and digital ads, to billboards, to voter education programs -- to prevent Donald Trump from returning to the White House. We have to stop this psychopath.
The "American Psycho" President... In Bateman's original 1991 literary incarnation, the adulation is at its most prevalent. The word of Trump settles a multi-page debate between Bateman and one of his almost-interchangeable colleagues, Craig McDermott, concerning the crispiness of Pastels pizza. Upon hearing that "his hero" Donald Trump called Pastels pizza the best in Manhattan, Bateman concedes the argument, because "if the pizza at Pastels is okay with Donny", well then of course it's okay with him. He agrees to attend a U2 concert only upon finding out that Trump is a fan of the band... Nov 28, 2016.
Why did Minus FJ link to the YouTube Video "24 Years Later, I Finally Understand American Psycho"? Is he telling me that he agrees with George Conway that tRump is f*cking nuts?
For the record, I agree with the republican George Conway. tRump is a psycho. He fits the definition, which is "someone with a personality disorder characterized by a lack of empathy, remorse, and conscience, and a tendency toward antisocial and criminal behavior".
What does Jared Bauer (the narrator of the video Minus linked to) learn about American Psycho? He talks about it at beginning at approximately 13 minutes into the video.
So, I'm guessing that what Minus is saying by linking to this video is that I've been brainwashed by Mass Media. It's one of his strongest delusions. The "normies" or NPCs have been brainwashed. But he (being much smarter) can see through the propaganda. And, unlike me, he has not been brainwashed.
Except that he totally has been brainwashed by rightturd media. Many media outlets are pumping out with regularity pro-tRump propaganda. And Minus FJ laps it up with gusto.
"Patrick Bateman is a guy who's defined entirely by possessions and appearances. ... He doesn't know how to be much of a human, but sure knows how to consume. In fact, other people exist solely to be consumed..." (14:20 to 13:34).
Hello! This describes d0n0ld tRump. WHY d0n0ld is Patrick Bateman's hero. He was known as the rich Turd who liked gold bigly. ..."He bought the accouterments of wealth. ... he has this really expensive yacht, the Princess. ... he has the helicopters, that stuff gets him on these wealth porn shows, like Lifestyles of The Rich and Famous with Robin Leach".
That was a quote from one of the co-authors of the book "Lucky Loser", Suzanne Craig. d0n0ld tRump is the embodiment of consumerism. He liked to show off his wealth to the public by buying things. "Look what I have. I must be rich because I have a 29 million dollar yacht. I have helicopters. I own a 100 million dollar Boeing 757-200".
The hypocrite Minus admires tRump's extravagant consumerism, but disapproves of the consumerism of the average American. Though I'm sure he abstains himself. He doesn't rush out to buy the "latest thing" as soon as it is released. He makes do with what he has and uses it until it breaks and he has no choice to buy a replacement. Oh, wait. I'm thinking about myself. I have no idea if Minus does that.
Lately d0n0ld has been hawking products like NFTs, gold bars and coins, gold tennis shoes, Lee Greenwood Bibles, and 100k watches. While Minus may not have purchased any of these items, tRump's other cult members are buying them bigly.

Copilot: Maintaining a Boeing 757-200 can be quite costly. The annual maintenance costs for an aircraft operating 450 hours a year can be around $414,1501. This includes engine reserves, landing fees, and other routine maintenance. As for fuel costs, the Boeing 757-200 consumes about 5800 lbs of fuel per hour. At an average fuel cost of $4.25 per gallon, this would amount to approximately $7,675.78 per hour. 20:45.

| ...here the satire taps into a prominent post World War II anxiety known as Mass Society. Mass Society refers to the way alienated populations in the industrial era become homogenized through their Reliance on mass media. Germany during World War II marked the dawn of mass Society the love child of broadcasting and herd mentality. According to one historical interpretation the Third Reich was able to effectively brainwash the population because mass media could facilitate a mass contagion of sentiment, TV and radio showed such potential for manipulation that some suspected it would do the same thing to the post-war populations, but with a different flavor of propaganda. Advertising, I mean if the Germans got brainwashed, why not us. (13:09 to 13:58). |

Great post!
ReplyDeleteOne problem.
Donald Trump actually "produced" products for consumption. Luxury products for luxury consumption. He "stole from the rich". The people who lead YOUR political party. And that's why they hqate him.
In other words, he sold Patrick Bateman all those "products"... It's why kamala keeps showing up at charity events where designer clothes and expensive jewelry.
ReplyDeletebtw - What kind of consumerist idiot wears gold tennis shoes?
ReplyDeleteI've never seen Trump wearing them.
DeleteMinus: Donald Trump actually "produced" products for consumption. Luxury products for luxury consumption. He "stole from the rich". The people who lead YOUR political party. And that's why they hqate him.
ReplyDeleteBS. We laugh at him in regards to his many failed products and business ventures. We also laugh at the dupes who keep sending him money for his crappy products. Which are only presented as "luxury goods" but are actually subpar.
Some examples...
The Trump watch line includes the Trump Victory Tourbillon, which retails for $100,000 and features an 18k gold casing with 122 diamonds. Despite the high price tag, there are doubts about the quality and authenticity of these watches. Experts suggest that the watches might actually be made in China rather than Switzerland, as initially claimed.
Trump Sneakers: As of now, many buyers still haven't received their Trump sneakers. The shipping delays have been significant, with some customers being told it could take up to five months from the order date. The gold high-tops were expected to start shipping around July 2024, but it seems there have been further delays.
Trump NFTs: Launched in 2021, these non-fungible tokens were part of a broader push into the cryptocurrency market but have seen limited success.
Trump Steaks: Launched in 2007, these were sold through the Sharper Image catalog and Trump's hotels. The product was discontinued after poor sales and negative reviews.
Trump Vodka: Introduced in 2006, this vodka was sold in the U.S. and internationally. It was discontinued in 2011 due to low sales.
Trump University: This for-profit online education company faced multiple lawsuits and was shut down in 2010.
Trump Ice Bottled Water: Introduced in 2007, this bottled water was sold in various retail stores but was eventually discontinued.
Trump Magazine: This lifestyle magazine was launched in 2009 but folded after a few issues.
Trump Mortgage: Launched in 2003, this mortgage company closed in 2007 after struggling to gain traction in the market.
Trump Shuttle: This was an airline owned by Donald Trump from 1989 to 19921. It operated shuttle services between New York, Boston, and Washington, D.C. However, it faced financial difficulties and was sold to USAir in 1992.
Minus: He "stole from the rich". The people who lead YOUR political party. And that's why they hqate him.
ReplyDeleteRich Democrats are buying up tRump crap, getting it and realizing that tRump stole from them, but they continue buying his crap anyway? I doubt it. Sounds like another delusion to me.
btw, Melania tRump has never worn expensive jewelry? Who knew?
ReplyDeleteYou think middle class Democrats were the target demo for Melania's crappy necklaces? Your delusions seem to be growing ever more powerful.
ReplyDeleteHey, it still beats trading votes for Democrat scoldings.
