- "Trump has an incipient messiah complex. In a world leader, that's a really dangerous thing."
The bravery Trump showed after the attempt against his life is "impressive" but was driven by a "messiah complex", says the Times's Matthew Parris.

I liked the US governor who once said that there is reason why Trump hasn't read the Bible: he's not in it.
Maybe why he produced his own. 📖😡🤔
🤭
Read what Matthew Parris has to say about assisted death and the "usefulness" of old people. This guy is sick in the head.
The RNC was one part Wrestlemania and two parts Nuremberg, in color.
More like Democrats with left supported George Floyd riots, supporting transitioning children and support of end Trump… they are morally bankrupt.
I saw it as a mashup of Idiocracy and Sorry to Bother You.
The spirits of Leni Riefenstahl and Albert Speer in particular were probably disappointed that they could not be present to have a hand in developing the convention aesthetics and documenting such a truly bizarre spectacle.
Grow up.
One of the most fundamental differences between US and UK politics is religion, if a British MP claimed God had sent him to save the country, he’d probably end up getting sectioned!!!
What if the God were referenced as "Allah?" Then the British MP gets sent to the cabinet.
Before Trump came along, we would have been horrified too, except for maybe a few fringe extremists. It just happened so quickly!! Now, that's just normalized. No one bats an eye. Not only is it another planet to you all, but to sane Americans as well. I fear for our future...
And the irony is that hardly anybody here in the US goes to church. They are empty buildings. People say one thing, but their actions tell a different story. Christians in name only
Read what Matthew Parris has to say about assisted death and the "usefulness" of old people. This guy is sick in the head.
There is a HUGE group of people that go to church to be forgiven for the way they live during the week. Unfortunately
I remember toward the end of Trump's presidency, the secret service were at the end of their ropes. They felt like a babysitter that had to deal with this terrible toddler. It was such a relief when he went. And he spent America's money like it was limitless.
We officially entered the "twilight zone" when Trump came down that escalator..Joe gave us his all, we needed to give our all to him. He did 18 events in 10 days after the debate, was in a different country or state every day. Most 60 year olds couldn't keep that grueling schedule. And pass the most meaningful legislation in decades.
This! Exactly! He's of perfectly sound mind. I think all of the above you stated, along with listening to trump lie and evade the questions, going completely off topic probably infuriated him as well. It's hard to think straight when you're really angry.
Christ, you pair of clowns 😂
I am Canadian and, the USA is a different planet to us. They frighten me.
I know they actually consider themselves a country not like us Canadians, which Trudeau a few years ago said we are a borderless country and not even a country. Good thing we voted for him. I wish the US was more like us... Nothing
I'm an American and understand your comment.. The U. S. Is no longer never really has been a safe place to live😊👍
@@redberry2484 i'm an american in a relatively good area of country and it certainly was realtively 'safe' place to live in most ways, though it did depend on what race /ethnicity etc, for sure. But even re that, that seemed to worsen at times. Now, clearly we are in social crisis, with faulty perceived needs for guns, etc, when a self-defense gun is still usually more of liability in many ways than a useful tool: but that also depends on social situation, assets-level and earning power and how all that intersects with potential civil lawsuits against the person using the gun. Very tricky social situation that certainly WILL cause severe socioeconomic stratification like we've never seen before, IF shootings become more common. Anyway that's just a small birdseye micro view of one angle. We are in deep trouble and i call it paramilitarism, which should be widely shunned, rejected socially etc, and ultimately made illegal. Actual paramilitaries are illegal insofar as training, etc. But nowadays probably not prosecuted or investigated enough. And in fashy red areas, not prosecuted at all. Not easy to prosecute many such groups.
How do you feel about Pierre taking over?
@@redberry2484 No locks on the doors, babe. Send me a postcard from wherever you end up.
How come God can help you dodge a bullet, but he can't stop it being fired in the first place?
Because the unlucky guy had to catch it .
🤔 God doesn't get in the way of second amendment rights he has to draw a line somewhere. come to think of it he's not too fond of the 1st either
A messiah complex would imply that he has some beneficent motivation. I suspect he's closer to being a garden variety sociopath. I don't see any evidence that he's interested in anything other than his personal aggrandizement.
His 'Nobody knows the system better than me, which is why I alone can fix it' comment probably hints at such a complex
Did it occur to you that Trump arranged that assassination attempt to bring attention to how superheroes
I have thought that neither Biden nor Trump woodwind because neither would be the candidate
I think you're wrong I think he was very intelligent because he's a Target of Republican assassins and he didn't want his vice president targeted too early

Replace it every other instance.
Yes... Trump followers are in a cult indeed..
All with tiny bandages on their ear..🤣🤦🏻
Give me a break, he's a common grifter, a pathological liar, and a worshipper of money.
Being given a massive amount of money by his father ($400 million US, estimated ) enabled him to get the shadiest lawyers, accountants, enforcers and public relations mouthpieces. There have been hundreds of "hired hands" over the decades. By himself, without the unearned wealth, he wouldn't have made it to age 50. Perhaps he would have perished in prison much younger than that or been removed by someone with power whom he insulted. There is a will to dominate others by force and deception prominent in his personality. Money makes it all too easy for him and always has, for 78 years.
He is also a borderline imbecile, who knows nothing of politics, geopolitics or much else. He didn't know what nato was at start of his run. His words. But then, he was only the "useful idiot president" to the enablers and worse behind the scenes, seen and unseen. He gets to self enrich and look important while the get their agenda, as trump doesn't care or a lot of the time understand.
He is one of best 🇺🇸 presidents to have been a president…..just ask 90+million Americans who voted 🗳️ for PDJT and they will agree ✊🏻🇺🇸🙏🏻

The whole Trump/Vance story is terribly depressing
Did Trump choose Vance to be assassinated for being disloyal, to again and to blame the Democrats?
Probably to fools like yourself
I wonder what Americans will do when they realize God isn't American.
we the sane have absolutely nothing in common was religious zealots, maga, felons like trump. Dangerous and disgraceful
"Wait... Jesus was a WHAT NOW?"
I don't understand how people can be saying he was blessed by God, but turning a blind eye to the same god sacrificing former firefighter and father of 2, to loose his life.
It's emotionally (and politically) convenient for them. And they're not very deep thinkers.
I know! What was God thinking?
Sshh, you're breaking the narrative.
Presumably the reply would include something like: someone had to take one for the team to serve the greater good, or god works in mysterious ways - how dare you question god!!!1!!reee
If you would read any religious text (not just the bible) you would understand. But since you won't, I will help you. God doesn't bless everyone equally (that's recent, post-enlightenment, feel-good baloney). God, in fact, has favorites. God has heroes. In any story of God at all, whether Pagan, Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu, etc.--in every one of them, God has favorites. That being the case, it does make sense.
He talked about the firefighter too so what else do you expect him to do?
Laughing at the line He’s not the messiah he’s a very naughty boy just about sums up the cultural difference between the US and the UK.
His second term would be very different with project 2025 implemented. He was largely thwarted first time around and he’s now aware of it. This time project 2025 will likely allow him to cause all sorts of problems.
That's an understatement.
Another planet for some of us living in the US also 😢.
The huge danger this time is not so much trump himself, but project 2025 and all that entails.
As an American, I completely agree with this assessment. It's crazy.
We know, but 75 million think otherwise.
Hmmm, but 82 million do agree with this assessment.@@Globaldave1970
@@Globaldave1970 It's beggars belief doesn't it? I thought 15% of the voters going reform was bad. Feel for the moderate Americans

America cursed.
Neither Biden nor Trump are fit for office. Disregarding their individual political allegiances, Biden is too old but, in his day, I believe he has been a much more intellectually capable leader than Trump could ever hope to have been. Trump is only slightly behind Biden in age but he is unashamedly ignorant about everything, his decision process is driven by whats good for him.
Well, Biden is out of the race. Now Trump has to face a much younger, more intelligent ( that is about anyone) leader. Kamala will tear him apart in a debate.
I think you are both daydreamers! Have you ever looked at Biden's past political history? (Please do before you bother to answer.) Even Barack said "Never underestimate Joe's ability to F*** everything up". Kamala is away with the birdies and the polls showed even less popular than the elderly and decrepit Joe. And yes I have seen all the latest 'elect Kamala' hype on your TV. It shows just how quickly they change their minds. But good luck with it. Your politics is even more broken than ours in the UK. The USA needs a Trump Presidency at the moment, (No I don't particularly like 'The Man'), at least he is going to lead the USA in the correct direction. (Note I didn't say Right as in far right direction, that's media hype too.)
"in his day, I believe he has been a much more intellectually capable leader than Trump could ever hope to have been"
An egg sandwich is a more intellectually capable leader than Trump.
@@jamesgravil9162 A huge lump of Trump derangement syndrome on display here. As he wants to end the Ukraine war I would imagine that means he is 5000 times more intelligent than 'good ole Joe' Don't forget Obama's statement on Joe,, "never underestimate his ability to F*** anything up". (And that was more than ten years ago). Even here in the UK we have seen his obvious mental decline as it has accelerated over the last three and a half years, what have you been watching?
Biden is still a great leader. He's older, and speaks more slowly because of his stutter for one thing, but he is still mentally capable. He was sick and exhausted at the debate, and probably furious listening to trump ramble on with lies unchecked, all while not answering the questions asked.
I am not American but Australian retired war vet,Some things that worry me about Trump,1 he will leave NATO,2 he will not support Ukraine 3 any Defense agreements with Australia will not survise.If he leaves NATO and drops support for Ukraine NATO will have to intervene that would create a larger conflict where America could be involved.At this time the only lives being lost are thousands of Ukraine civilians and troops fighting the illegal invasion and does it mean that America no longer recognises international law.You are proclaimed as the greatest Democracy ever yet have no concern over an illegal invasion of a free nation.We in Australia as a long time ally wonder if America would honor defense agreements and help us when China Launches its invasion of Australia and the genocide that would follow,the same fate awaits Ukraine.
As an American, I never thought I'd be faced with a choice between the frail and the felonious, but here we are.
Another clown who buys into the garbage about Trump. If he was such a felon why did they not go after him before? Laughable
You clearly haven't been paying attention fella. The downward spiral from Reagan, Gee Duh B Yah Bush to Trump, from demented to thick to beyond thick...President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho is smarter!
Frail vs. felonious isn't the choice.
Your choice is: Willing and able to use the whole apparatus of the state (DOJ, FBI, IRS), corporations, media and universities against political enemies vs. has none of those things and therefore is much less dangerous.
To be fair, the felonious one is also approaching decrepitude, both mentally and physically.

Why didn't God save the firefighter?
He needed his body to save the wife and kids not sure about the other 2 blokes collateral damage
Being Canadian is like living next door to the Simpsons
More like Family Guy at this point. In the later seasons, when all the characters are sociopaths.
The last 3 1/5 years have NOT been that good… but as an American, I too am completely baffled by the possibility of another Trump administration. On any given occasion, to listen to the man speak is painful and embarrassing. He has no redeeming qualities, and yet he has the full-throated support of the (former)Republican Party. It’s astounding and terrifying.
I have been following Biden's achievements here in the UK. I am wondering why American's are not aware of all the good Biden has done. No one is saying he has been perfect, but he is much better than Trump.
The Republican Party no longer represents what it may once have at its inception in the 19th century, or even some redeeming things that it stood for in the middle of the 20th. It's as dead as the Whigs.
"He has no redeeming qualities"
He's old, and not likely to be here in ten years given his weight and health. That's a redeeming quality, isn't it?
@@LorraineTapperThose of us on the left are aware, but the conservative "news" outlets don't report Trump's crazy and criminal behavior, unless it's to say it's all lies.
To the guy who said Don Trump was president snd the sun continued to shime. Talk to his advisors and Jan 6. Did this guy watch the news
Agreed. Now that Trump has seen that career civil servants and military officials who put America first, obstruct all his malevolent schemes, he will make absolutely sure that no one other than toadies will be placed in any position of influence. The guardrails (barely) kept him in check last time, you can be damned sure that the first thing he would do is jettison them the next time
For most of Vance's adult life, he was placed by a billionaire in various venture capitalist roles.
Like Nutty Nigel denying his elite background and pretending to be working class!
If Trump is a psychopat, messia complex is completly natural ...
Trump Presidency no 2 will be nothing like no1. He and his cronies have had time to plan this "Second Coming".
One big cultural difference: America worships celebrities and the UK prefers an underdog, until they moan about it. Dorian Gray - narcissist; Boris - attention seeking w⚓; Matt Hancock (I'm a Celebrity) - whinging attention seeker. Parliament's most signed petition - something like 10% of Scotland's population - was to refuse Trump's entry to the UK. Just a comparative observation from Canada.
Lady Di… Sir Elton… Queen Charles… ya, no celebrity worship at all hardly. Pffft.
I don't agree. As an American though, if I start talking about all the things wrong with Americans, I'd be here all day.
Australians love an underdog and so the pollies fight it out for underdog position!
and the USA protects Canada. If not for us your defense budget would be 25 times higher. America would protect Canada from harm. You should love us if only for that.
@@louisbrooks8824 Will you take our lunch money if we don't declare our unconditional love for you? Might makes right - that's the American way. NATO, and especially Canada, took extraordinary measures to protect Americans after 9/11. Wonder if that's taught in American schools? I happen to agree with bolstering Canada's military, and if the US wants to scale back its annual $800-billion military budget, which funds 800 installations in 80 countries, that's okay by me.
hypocrisy is not confined to the USA.
I've never seen anything like this, except at church. The tears, the passion, the manic cheering... you would think Jesus himself has returned. It's bizarre.
Cult.
Just a party, many of us like to have fun. How is their reaction any different than goes on a gay pride parades?
@raybod1775 They are not worshipping a man. Well, maybe they are, but it's very different from worshipping a man as if he were divine.
Idolatry and using God as a form a vanity are sins, and the RNC Convention was pure idolatry and vanity in the name of God.
Matthew has got two things wrong: firstly in saying that the UK is so different. We now have Reform UK whose leader is firmly allied to Donald Trump; if we had PR they'd now have a large block of MPs and could be in government as part of a coalition. Secondly, he says he is reassured by the fact that nothing too bad happened in Donald Trump's first term. However when you look at authoritarian leaders around the world who come to power initially through the ballot box, it always takes time. As a rough rule they have to be democratically elected at least twice in order to figure out what they have to do to ensure they cannot be evicted by the people.
Would that include Zelenskyy?
I would also say Trump's anti global warming stance eg no Paris accord and no green energy measures was a big issue.
@@plausible_dinosaurthe million Americans who died on his watch might want a word but they can’t. We barely survived those 4 years. Vance is extremely dangerous.
Project 2025 is the plan & already getting implemented. We have a lot against us & our lives literally depend on this election. I’m with Joe
One of the things Trump did was to stuff the courts full of Republican-leaning judges. American confidence in the supreme court is now pretty low, and it certainly *_looks_* corrupt from the outside. Judge Aileen Cannon also seems to be Trump's pet judge. We are led to believe that allied secrets were among those stolen by Donald Trump - and judge cannon has dismissed that case! A case of what certainly looks like treason - has been dismissed!! When somebody acquires secret military documents after having secret meetings with Putin, using his translator, so no other American need be present - it raises questions that should not be dismissed!
JD Vance wasn't poor. His grandparents raised him and a union job paid for his college education.
Trump is like a cult leader. To his followers, he can do no wrong.
Expect Trump to be wearing that bandage for the rest of his presidential campaign.
I think there will be a great unbandaging ceremony. Trump will be raised aloft on a gold gilded throne in front of a stadium full of MAGA zombies as Vance dressed in white with a gold glove will remove the bandage which Trump will then sell for obscene money.
It makes it easier for his handlers to hide an earpiece to feed him his lines.
"For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect." - Matthew 24:24
Just a biblical reminder for all those republican 'believers'. 😏
Have you ever heard Trump call himself a Prophet or a Messiah! That would be a no
@@hkuiper100 maybe not yet
@@hkuiper100 His followers call him that. He himself claimed God intervened with the attempt on his life. He makes all kinds of false promises just like in his first term.
He checks all the boxes so yes, he's a false prophet.
Is that the Bible, or Matthew Paris?
@@Globaldave1970 Maybe you're not the right person to ask that question?
Trump has just had his von Stauffenberg moment and it’s fed his Messiah complex just like it did the Bohemian Corporal.
Oh, Trump is like "the Bohemian Corporal?" But rhetoric like that didn't encourage the assassination attempt, right?
Trump is sarcastic, that’s all. He’s never defied a court order.
Trump WILL NEVER CHANGE 💯🤨
Matthew Parris- you're NOT worried about Trump mk2? Have you heard of Project 2025?
Have you heard about project 25 until the media manufactured the outrage?
@@scottraiman7081 No one, and I mean NO ONE, can prove that Trump plans to implement P2025. The Left can't do it, and believe me, I've seen how they're trying.

@gerry4b as per usual you'd be wrong. I'm outside the usa and I look at it all...including Fox news. What I see in America is a latitudinal line of intelligence...southern half being Christian extremists with a lower IQ in general. Where are you from by the way???
There’s a thing called “insight.” Having insight about your own decline and practicing it in the early stages of dementia is largely absent.
In Trump's world, Christianity is little more than a designer perfume, Redemption, from the House of Christian.
Trump is running for President, not a church leader.
I can see that.
He thinks he's Jesus reborn 😅
Its all explained by drama addiction and power addiction....
This Clip didn’t age well 2 days later lol.
Min 8.30 when one of the commentators says referring to Biden stepping down, ‘ there will be a mess if he goes’ ….that Biden has left it too late etc
Yeah. Not so much 🤭
Biden stepping down yesterday has re-energized the Party and the whole tone of the campaign.
That’s why we have to take talk shows like this in perspective I guess.
Is just ppl expressing random opinions. And they are quite frequently wrong in hindsight lol 🐒
Right! Biden planned his timing quite well to drop his bomb right after the GOP convention. Harris has the cult in panic mode.
@@CaitFinnegan-Grenier I saw it coming a mile away. It was genius
Messiah complex is what it is
Is there such a thing as a messiah complex that ISN'T dangerous?
Even Jesus Christ, an actual Messiah, didn't have a messiah complex.
To Matthew I would say that I am 78+ do 10000 steps a day feel quite fit and active, but in the last three years I have aged in mental capacity more than in the previous 30 years. I wish Matthew well, he can't do better than he has done already.
Only Americans could think, they are so important, God would get involved in their politics. It comes from a diet of hyper nationalism from an early age.
Hyper religious from an early age is more likely. Hasn't anything truly mysterious ever happened in your life?
Nations always claim god is on their side - however terrible their actions.
Hyper nationalism well blended with hyper religiosity. It's a lethal mix. And history shows us it's happened elsewhere... 😮
Churches will always side with authoritarian states. Its literally the origin of 'left and right'
Uk nothing like US but Uk really trying hard at times in all the worst aspects - seriously
Eh hes closer to classic description of anti christ rather than messiah. Theres been a few others in history similar to it. Everything seems to happen in cycles. His time will come and pass then more change will follow
Yes, Biden is the great deceiver. His followers will not listen to reason like men are men, women are women and transitioning a child into a fake simulation of opposite sex is horrific evil.
Very good, I agree to, I am form Croatian and I feel the same I met people from different continent and only American looks like some other planet. And if Trump win it is going to be mach worse
yep! disturbed nations are now mine, the U.S., and Serbia, and Hungary and Russia. FACT

Incipient messiah complex? Trump’s is a full-blown one!
I looked that diagnosis up, it doesn't fit. He's a malignant narcissist and psychopath
Of course we have just been through a long non-boring period in British politics.
Being in the Glastonbury environment was the ideal choice for viewing a surreal debate. Thanks for the encouraging comments on the issues with the messiah complex in a politician.
The Westminster system would have seen a spill, where a deranged leader would be removed by their own party. The US President is more like an executive monarch than a PM in a constitutional monarchy. “We the People…?” Not really. The US doesn’t have national referenda permitting the People to change their Constitution. The US founding fathers wanted a Union and not have the States going in different directions, which happened anyway, citing the US Civil War.
Sometimes is better to remain silent and thought a fool...
Times Radio has a dangerous Messiah complex.
His comments are not hindered by cognitive impairment due to ageing. What's his excuse on comments of bleach will stop covid-19, on batteries in water, or Putin didn't do it he told me so, etc
What is your excuse for cognitive impairment . The bleach comment was referring to a comment from a doctor saying to the press conference that bleach killed the corona virus on hard surfaces . Trump said maybe we could use something like that to disinfect the body . Different bleaches are already used in medicine to do exactly that , anti biotics also disinfect the body . As for the Putin comment , I assume you mean the pipeline , why would he need to blow up the pipeline when he has the tap to turn it off . Carry on lining up for the programming .
You can blame some preachers who are as power hungry as Trump is!
As power hungry as Biden, he should not have run for a second term.
The devil looks after his own
Considering Biden’s support of transitioning children, you’re right.
Indeed. Nothing to do with God. No true - no normal - Christian could possibly think that.
The 10-minute mark of this video is SPOT ON! The average American doesn’t care about how America is perceived from the outside!
There is an outside world??
Yes, but it's all fake. He is the biggest opportunist on planet earth.
idk I never feel all that similar to the US ever
one thing that stands out about all that DT and his machine spew out is the poverty and vacuousness of the actual substance of his message combined with the profound liberties he takes with grounding his statements in truth. In that sense he is a mirror image of his wokist adversaries. Both parties home in on the very real problems that are afflicting us, then propose their own versions of purity codes as solutions without actually grappling with the challenges of real world problem solving. They feed off each other and muddy the waters for those amongst us who endeavor to engage in actual problem solving.
Despite my prior comments, I do like your podcast! Thanks for your work.
Yeah, people tend to like someone who listens to them, And when Washington DC hasn’t done that in ages, it makes the guy who does listen a Messiah
Harris for President❤
"Trump has a messiah complex"
*pretends to be shocked*
"this trump family is going to plague america for years to come" -- lol lol
For people discussing American politics on a professional level, the panel does not seem to know too much about the basics of things like how the president can be got rid of or replaced as a candidate. This is pretty basic stuff - they should have checked it out beforehand if they don't know. It's been discussed in public for weeks/months or actually years in Trump's case, never mind it being a part of general academic knowledge for anybody discussing American history or politics.
You can always tell when a politician is lying because his lips are moving.
First time the Government wasnt stacked with total sycophants and patsies.
Ironically, he's really just the beneficiary of multiple convergent factors. Less Messiah, more oblivious fluctuation.
Him and Putin
He doesn't have a messiah complex. He just knows a good con when he sees one. And that there are very gullible people who will accept it
He nearly got cured a week ago , gutted
If you want to understand the Trump phenomenon, have your own Professor John Gray on to talk about what's happened to liberalism.
Uhmmm...that's a big NO. 20yrs of russian propaganda (400 million usd spent by them...facts) thru fox and the nra and media platforms.
Good analysis on republicans and evangelicals.
No one from the UK has understood Republicans or evangelicals since at least the Eisenhower administration.
Trump this time includes project 2025 so it would be the last election
Read what Matthew Parris has to say about assisted death and the "usefulness" of old people. This guy is sick in the head.

Donald trump needs locked 🔒 up for rest of his life
Devastating take after all these years 😢
I think people see him as a messiah because they are under his spell-sad delusional thinking. Yes, boring, logical, effective leadership would be a breath of fresh air in US!
Totally agree re the Messiah complex...I listen in horrified fascination to him.
