I used to really enjoy Sam's content, but his obsession with Trump is sad. Lex's comment that he hoped Sam and Trump could go golfing some day was gold. I wish he would have added "and hug it out" Hahaha. Sam is a walking contradiction of word salad nowadays. Really unfortunate.
the delusion is so palpable and sad in Sams perception.
Sam is the only real one in this conversation. Empathy is not the solution to all situations.
Sam's a bit delusional
To be so intelligent Sam has some retarded thoughts
Sam is the embodiment of TDS and digging yourself in psychosis.
What a piece of shit Sam is.
