The Same as First Grade

“When I look at myself in the first grade and I look at myself now, I’m basically the same.”

-- Donald Trump, 2015, via the New York Times
For non-Americans, first grade in the US is ages 6-7.

  1. Well, that helps explain the childish behaviours and outbursts. Problem solved.

  2. I'm trying to imagine how he thought this might be interpreted positively. I'm at a loss. I half believed this to be an apocryphal quote. Nope. He actually said this! https://theweek.com/speedreads/575962/donald-trump-tells-biographer-hes-same-now-first-grade

  3. My guess is that Trump doesn't think or care how his words will be interpreted. He's such a narcissist he things everything he says will be worshipped. He has no sense of shame--literally, none, another characteristic of a hard narcissist.

    He clearly thinks of himself as the smartest first grader ever in the history of the US.

  5. Yes. Funny, but worrisome.

  6. "He's such a narcissist he things everything he says will be worshipped." - He's not wrong!
