Comedian Chelsea Handler has made it clear in the past that if she had been in Ivanka Trumps shoes, she would have done whatever it took to prevent her own father from running for president. As a woman, I would never let my father run for president, knowing what I know about my father, she told Conan OBrien earlier this year. But my fathers not even half as bad as Donald Trump.
But your father isnt normal. And I know this because my father isnt normal either, Handler continued. Hes also a crazy, narcissistic bullshit artist, who just like your father probably has syphilis. Like Trump, she described her own father as a horny geriatric with no moral compass who imported a hot immigrant wife, asking, Sound familiar, Ivanka?
But the one thing my father is not is the president of the United States, Handler said. He doesnt have the power to pull out of the Paris accord, he barely has the power to pull out of his Jamaican night nurse.

Maybe they never spend holidays with their father, not that we would be surprised."

(14,173 posts)She's had ample opportunity before the election and after to prove she has any different values and ethics than her father. To me, its becoming clearer and clearer that she is in cahoots with her husband and father in scooping up as much $ as they can and use their political position to do it. She is blinded by bling. I'm sure somewhere in the back of her little brain she knows her father is a narcissistic pig and a crook, but she also knows that all she has to do is smile and wave for 4 years (or 8 at most) and she and Jarred will be billionaires in their own right.
In fact she may not even know what good ethical behaviour is growing up in that family, or treating women with respect, or siding with those poorer than yourself. It may be some vague awareness but nothing she was brought up on. She literally does not have a clue about what others like Chelsea or the women on The View are imploring her to do. They assume that she even knows what decency and respect and civil responsibility means. Or even if she is dimly aware, how much filthy lucre eclipses any of those.

(4,187 posts)Trump is a malignant narcissist. Look it up. Most nursing homes cannot handle a malignant narcissist.
I wish people would stop being so ageist and recognize that what Trump suffers from has nothing to do with age. These comments are not funny. They are hurtful and insensitive to the millions of Americans who suffer from dementia or have a family member who has dementia.

(90,686 posts)...sharing their observations of Trump's disordered speech and behavior, and comparing it to unfortunate family members and patients?
"Ageist" is saying Hillary Clinton should not run for President despite being both healthy and well-qualified.
It's not "ageist" to point out that Trump is neither healthy nor qualified, and that he appears to decline daily.
Further, there's nothing to prevent him from being dual-diagnosis. He's manifestly been a malignant narcissist his whole life. But now that he's the age his father was when he had Alzheimer's, a competent doctor and loving family members would be on the lookout for signs of dementia. (Too bad he has neither, right? His doctor looks and sounds like a stoner, and his family are all on the gravy train.)
Nothing whatsoever prevents a person with (for instance) bi-polar disorder from ultimately developing (for instance) Loewy-Bodies dementia or Alzheimer's disease.
