A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
"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.
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.
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."
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
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.
To humiliate someone is to make him/her feel ashamed and foolish by injuring his/hers dignity.
Lack of dignity is:
Ergo, you can't humiliate someone without dignity.
The fact that Trump 'accused' anybody of using AI is a joke by itself!
He managed to do the impossible. I found myself aligned with Reagan on something.
Donal Trump posting AI videos on a daily basis: this is real
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.
Even a fat, disgusting, beady eyed, selfish, worthless excuse for a clock is right twice a day I guess.
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.
humiliated? i don't think anyone over there is paying attention
yes we used AI from the 80s. We pulled out a lisp machine.

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.
Trump don't get humiliated, he throws tantrums.
