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.‘’
As a Canadian I am utterly disgusted and livid that a Canadian ad running in Canada was removed, because Americas pedophile rapist president didnt like it. Keep that fascist shit on your side of the border
Okay, but what if I told you they only took it down because a Canadian plutocrat didn’t like it?
Would that be better?
Have you been paying any attention? There’s home homegrown fascists here with a love for the us. Maybe we need to clean up our own shit before we just blame the us
It was running in the US. The target demographic does not live in Canada.
This headline is shit. Trump does not feel humiliation.
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 read that the older you get the less you feel embarrassment.
I don’t think that he Can give a fuck at this point…
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.
…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.
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…
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.
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.
He’s angry he got caught being the piece of shit that he is. To him the problem is that the truth came out
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.
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.
“It was AI or something” is becoming mainstream idiot for “it was edited”
“someone hacked my account”
I’ve seen it applied to quite a few crude Photoshops already.
I think the real meaning is closer to “Me no like!”
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
Humiliation requires a sense of shame. Which does not exist in Trump’s world.
Yeah he’s just angry they aren’t bending the knee. This isn’t shame. He can’t feel shame.
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.
No he’s not humiliated, the guy can’t be humiliated, he’s a giant narcissist. He’ll simply day the facts are wrong and he’s right and that’ll be the end of it.
Having said that, can we PLEASE start pushing journalists to stop using this clickbait language like slamming, blasting, humiliating, etc? It is so tiring.
News doesn’t need to be 100% constant in your face exciting. Give me boring news, and lots of it
I wrote a similar reply to this post before I saw yours.
I DESPISE this kind of perspective-isolating, emotion-validating, reinforced fantasy world that media has created. The article has zero content, it just repeats the taglines content of more reputable news sites but throws it in among about 3 million ads and slaps a fantasy-world headline on it to make people think we’re winning some points against the literal most powerful people on Earth who are celebrating their victories every day.
Fuck this kind of clickbait, fuck people who post it. Sorry OP.
You lost that battle in about 2004 unfortunately
Yeah I remember complaining about “slammed” on Fark back in the day. That was at least 20 years ago.
Just wait until Gen z and Gen alpha grows up and becomes the journalists.

This is what dictators often do; Claim something regardless of it being easy to fact check. Their following eats it up regardless of the truth. The only thing he can’t do is remain silent. His following just needs something they can blindly follow. He could have said “Madonna went back into the past and made a Reagan hologram out of 2 spoons and a piece of paper” and that would be the truth and they’ll fight to protect it. Trump’s biggest enemy is common sense. Everything he does is to destroy this and present himself as the truth.
“The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”
Kind of like his he’s saying Democrats are holding up the government from opening and the media even the local media just trots that out as fact.
Lying… If it didn’t ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
Days without Trump being a national embarrassment: 0
Days without Trump doing something stupid for a 5 year old on the playground: 0
Days without Trump doing something that will take decades to fix: 0
Days that the majority of America did anything meaningful to deal with Trump: 0
Canada has a pretty far right bend right now, we’d love advice on how to fix it.
I think we should stop voting in ratchet liberals. And we need NDP to run on a platform of election reform.
Huh, sounds easy. How does one person do that?
How does one person do anything?

Canada is using guns to stop their far right? I think they have pretty strict gun laws.
They’re looking to the neighbors to the south and not seeing them doing anything different with their rights to a militia
I’d argue there are too many structural issues, all too established to ever fix. Trump is just abusing these with abandon instead of papering over them like often happened in the past.
The only hope at this point is that it’s so broken by the end that no amount of “tweaking” the current plan/formula is worth doing. Would at least be nice if the light at the end of the tunnel is that a whole new modern way of life will be possible to rebuild from the ashes. Even without trump breaking it further, the current plan wasn’t going well, long term. It’s going worse now, but in an unsustainable way. The old plan would have taken much longer to get this much worse.
will be possible to rebuild from the ashes
The problem is that the billionaires are thinking the same thing and their ideas for a "new modern way of life* are a bit different from the rest of the population.
Well, to be fair, I’m assuming a little French Revolution will be part of the current system burning down.
Copy that, build the guillotines fire proof.
Days with meaningful consequences for his actions: 0
He better watch out, one of these days he might get slammed.
Donal Trump posting AI videos on a daily basis: this is real
No he was not “humiliated” and we should be writing these rags hateful, scathing letters holding them accountable for contributing to this atomized worldview that is literally wrecking our whole society. There is no content in this article, it’s 90% ads all over the page, it’s just the same material reported in other news sites, but with a more sensational headline.
I don’t care that clickbait gets better views, I don’t care that they make more money. We are letting them get away with fabricating entire universes for select segments of populations.
People read shit like this and get all sweaty and satisfied and pump their fists and say “YEsss! Another victory! These clowns are going to crumble ANY DAY NOW!”
As they continue to celebrate living like royalty and bandits, taking food from children, blowing up innocent humans, shitting on the country and facing zero consequences. Articles like this are part of the downfall of democracy.
Look at the upvotes on this one. Embarrassing that so many lemmings jumped on this.
Let me spell it out y’all: Trump has narcissistic personality disorder. He is not capable of being wrong, let alone humiliated. He doesn’t give two flying fucks what anyone says or thinks, to him, the ad was faked. End of story. He is not able to believe otherwise.
Yes, Trump doesn’t give a shit – and people get all hot and bothered thinking they can assassinate him with words
I dunno, huck an old, unabridged dictionary at him hard enough, and he’d probably go down.
You would have to bring that in to the White House from outside because they don’t have books in there anymore
They did just open up a big hole that you could launch it through.
humiliated? i don’t think anyone over there is paying attention
