This was from yesterday, but Trump was not sure if he made the point about the standing ovation clearly enough so this tweet showed up earlier today.So nice being with Republican Senators today. Multiple standing ovations! Most are great people who want big Tax Cuts and success for U.S.— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 24, 2017
A "lovefest" did you hear that Senators Corker and Flake? They lovefest me!The meeting with Republican Senators yesterday, outside of Flake and Corker, was a love fest with standing ovations and great ideas for USA!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 25, 2017
But still that did not seem enough to Donnie, so about an hour later this one popped up.
Well somebody is feeling a little needy.Jeff Flake, with an 18% approval rating in Arizona, said "a lot of my colleagues have spoken out." Really, they just gave me a standing O!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 25, 2017
I should probably point out right about here that Hitler also received numerous standing ovations as well. Just thought I would mention that.
CNN's Chris Cillizza noticed a pattern:
It's typical Trump: he gauges success in large part by how much he is loved; standing ovations -- along with TV ratings, crowd size and "buzz" -- are a direct measure of how he believes everyone feels about him.
Cillizza then goes on to provide a list of times in the past where Trump bragged about standing O's.

You know with some people you actually have to meet them and get to know them before you can gauge their level of insecurity.
But not Donald Trump. He wears his crippling insecurity like a badge of honor.
Nero...
ReplyDeleteA better comparison might be Nero.
Nero, too, used to demand his senators heap praise upon himself.
Nero, too, used to organize events where people would (HAD to) cheer him.
Nero, too, was a narcissist, an insane megalomaniac, and, history shows, a total creep.
didn't have his hands on the nuke codes. at this time i hope they gave him the wrong ones.
DeleteJust dont make us look at his “standing ‘o’ face” please!
ReplyDeleteHis anus mouth is what gets me!
DeleteI am asking a serious question. Do presidents usually get a standing ovation when they enter as a sign of respect as the head guy?
ReplyDeleteFor Trump that “proves” what he believes which is he has done the best most outstanding job ever!
As far as I understand, they get them when entering and also when leaving.
DeleteGod, but he is a mess and so damn needy!
ReplyDeleteRecently on Morning Joe Mika and Joe mentioned that in the past there were framed photos of Americans doing different things framed on a wall. They said Trump has photos of his inauguration crowd in that space. While becoming POTUS is something to be proud of plastering a public wall is who Trump is.
ReplyDeleteMy understanding is the photo was photo shopped with the crowds from Obama's inauguration.
DeleteFrontline on PUBS is airing "Putins revenge" tonight
Pathetically deranged dotard drumpf.
ReplyDelete$20 billion debt and here come the tax breaks. Cutting taxes does not spur growth one iota. Clinton proved raising taxes and running a balanced budget with both bring growth in the economy and lower the debt.
ReplyDeleteThey plan to make it up with massive cuts to Medicare and Medicaid - in the budget passed by Congress this week.
DeleteBeaglemom
The baby needs constant pats on the head. He's so special.
ReplyDeleteI have a friend like this. It is annoying!
DeleteLet me complete that last tweet for you, Doofus DOn, Standing O shit, what a doTURD.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pathetic excuse for a human being. If he wasn't such a danger to the world, I would feel sorry for him.
ReplyDeleteToo bad little donnie wasn't born with normal size fingers, he wouldn't feel so insecure. If only putin were 6 inches taller he wouldn't feel so insecure.
Too small "men" trying to act like adults.
