President Donald Trump was once again fact-checked following an embarrassing tantrum over a Canadian advertisement.
The ad quoted former U.S. President Ronald Reagan from 38 years ago criticizing tariffs – a policy tool Trump frequently employs. The commercial includes audio clips from an April 25, 1987 radio address where Reagan stated: "Over the long run such trade barriers hurt every American worker and consumer.‘’
He has no capacity to feel humiliated. He doesn’t care about the truth or facts. And most of his followers are the same way.
He’s angry he got caught being the piece of shit that he is. To him the problem is that the truth came out
Except he does feel humiliation and I think he feels it more intense than most. I’m not a psychologist but it appears to me as one of his main motivations to do something. Because deep down he’s a deeply insecure little shit and all this strong man stuff is just a facade he puts up.
I would argue humiliation is what he fears above all else and that makes him lash out even stronger.
I get what you’re saying but this is a definition “Humiliation is the abasement of pride, which creates mortification or leads to a state of being humbled or reduced to lowliness or submission.”
That does not sound like what Trump feels or does. He may change what he says or actions but I don’t think it’s out of humiliation. But rather a narcissistic need to be liked. He still thinks others are wrong and he doesn’t care to change to help anyone but himself. No self reflection or thought that he could be wrong.
It’s still nice to see him look so hurt when it happens and would like to see more of it. From a jail cell would be great.
Yeah, he gets angry when contradicted, but never regrets or apologizes for it. In fact, usually he doubles down or pivots to whataboutism or other fallacies.
Definitely, he has a very fragile ego. I’m also not a psychologist and too lazy to look it up, but read smg about the two types of narcissm, vulnerable and grandiose, which have very different behaviours, but come from the same internal feeling of inferiority.
I actually worked with a client very much like him, absolutely incompetent with fragile ego, always playing powergames and trying to humiliate others. What was surprising to see is how hard it is to deal with them, they really exhausted me, and at the end I left the project looking worse than I could have with a normal person. They also openly abused everybody, peers and teammates, not just me the lowly service provider. And the results of his work was always horrendous: crunch hours, months of delays, missing features, etc. I only hear bad things about them from others, yet I always saw some people falling over themselves trying to please this horrible human being, and I couldn’t understand why.
It’s like some people are inherently drawn to these narcissists, while others are repulsed by them, and these two types don’t understand the others. I look at similar world “leaders” like Putin, Orban, or the South American chainsaw clown, and laugh at these idiots, yet millions are happily voting for them.
During his first term I watched him cry at a sports match because the whole stadium booed him.
I would like to see this please.
This is just to distract from the Epstein Files.
He’s not humiliated if he keeps doing it.
He’s never felt humiliation in his life. He doesn’t understand it.
Hmmm I’m not sure. I’m not a psychologist yet while reading 2020’s “Commander in Cheat: How Golf Explains Trump” I feel like he feel just enough humiliation in his childhood to NEVER want to have that feeling again. He would “win” (huge quotes here because the definition of winning remains entirely up to him) no matter what, in golf, politics, business.
So… he might not feel humiliation anymore but if so I bet it comes from possibly having felt a bit too much of it early on.
Yeah he has no shame at all. It’s only a week since he posted the AI thing with him wearing a crown and shitting on the American people.
I didn’t see that one. Got a link?
You have to have humility to feel humiliation…
yes we used AI from the 80s. We pulled out a lisp machine.
From chatgpt-
Prompt: What is a very rough ballpark figure of how long it would take a Symbolics 3600 to process this request on you?
That’s a fascinating question — and quite a big gap in computing history!
Let’s estimate very roughly:
- Symbolics 3600 performance
Released around 1983.
Based on a 10 MHz 68000-series CPU with extensive microcode for Lisp operations.
Effective performance: roughly 1 MIPS (1 million instructions per second), though Lisp code was often slower due to dynamic typing and garbage collection.
Floating-point and memory bandwidth were also very limited — on the order of kilobytes per microsecond.
- This request
Let’s say your request (this chat exchange) takes me — a large language model with billions of parameters — maybe a few hundred billion floating-point operations (FLOPs) to process. For perspective, a modern GPU (like an NVIDIA A100) can do around 10¹⁵ FLOPs per second (1 petaFLOP) for AI workloads.
- Comparison
If we very loosely assume:
Symbolics 3600: ~1 MFLOP (10⁶ FLOPs/sec, being generous)
Modern GPU: ~10¹⁵ FLOPs/sec
That’s a factor of 10⁹ difference.
So if a modern GPU takes about 0.1 s to process your request, then the Symbolics 3600 would take:
0.1 s × 10⁹ = 10⁸ s ≈ 3 years
And that’s if it could even hold the model in memory, which it couldn’t — it had only a few megabytes of RAM, versus the hundreds of gigabytes (or terabytes) needed.

If only this demented narcissist could feel humility.
To humiliate someone is to make him/her feel ashamed and foolish by injuring his/hers dignity.
Lack of dignity is:
- Lacking composure: Engaging in behavior that is inappropriate, unrefined, or embarrassing, like staggering or reeling across a room in a very undignified fashion.
- Demeaning others: Believing you can disregard the worth of others to make yourself feel more valuable.
- Dishonorable conduct: Engaging in acts that are considered shameful, discreditable, or in bad taste.
Ergo, you can’t humiliate someone without dignity.
Does he actually get humiliated? Is he even capable of shame? He’s a Chester the molester for god sakes
It is impossible to feel shame, when you’re never wrong in your own mind. I would know, I was raised by narcissists.
Only time I’ve seen Trump suffer humiliation was when Obama beat his ass at the White House Correspondent’s Dinner. Imagine being in a room with top politicians and journalists, getting hand your ass. I’d laugh, but I’m not Trump.

If you haven’t seen it, take 10-minutes to see why Trump ran for office, see how we got here.
Thanks Obama…
This headline is shit. Trump does not feel humiliation.
…and if there’s a danger he might, there is a plenty of former entertainment industry personnel to give him a rim job, so he can feel like a king again.
I read that the older you get the less you feel embarrassment.
I don’t think that he Can give a fuck at this point…
Figure of speech. It is often said on a person’s behalf that someone was humiliated by something, regardless of how the person actually felt about it.
I’ve always interpreted the word both intransitively and transitively. No, he does not feel humiliation. He only cares about himself. However, he may have been humiliated from the perspective of the people who explained his mistake to him.
I fucking hate Doug Ford, but this is by far the funniest shit he’s ever pulled. This is more elbows up than our spineless PM has claimed to be and I am here for it.
There was also the time he swallowed the bee
The thing I hate most about Ford is that he can be genuinely likable and relatable at times. Sort of like George Bush Jr, he’s got a non-threatening “I’d sit down and have a beer and chat with him” charisma. It makes it really hard to imagine that he’ll ever lose an election or face any resistance to his policies, even though he is one of the most corrupt and directly threatening premiers in living memory. He is quietly dismantling and privatizing everything about Canada’s largest province and mortgaging its future to cash out for his cronies while keeping the masses distracted and on his side by relaxing regulations and alcohol policies and performative trade rhetoric.
And it makes me angry how amazingly well it works. We get so excited about the unimportant stuff he does because it’s simple and fits in a tweet, and we don’t have the time or energy or context to try to understand the important stuff where he’s intentionally breaking things and stealing from us because it’s complex and convoluted.
Even a fat, disgusting, beady eyed, selfish, worthless excuse for a clock is right twice a day I guess.
Trump don’t get humiliated, he throws tantrums.
Wait, does he hate AI now? Or did he really fly a plane and dump shit on the no kings protesters?
No, and this article is bullshit invented to pander to people who want to see Trump humiliated. It’s fantasy, it’s lying. It’s lying to viewers for money and ads and clicks.
Having humility is a prerequisite for being humiliated.
I dont think thats true, pride is required, humility is a (possoble) result.
Trump humiliated by fact-check
This has never happened ever.
Yeah, but we need copium and jumping off points for online snarking
The fact checkers are clearly radical leftist antifa and they are lying /s
